Former President Obama's ethics chief ripped into President Biden's son, Hunter Biden, for selling his art at prices ranging up to half a million dollars to anonymous buyers.
Walter Shaub, the former Office of Government Ethics director under Obama, said that the lucrative arrangement has a "shameful and grifty feeling to it."
"The notion of a president's son capitalizing on that relationship by selling art at obviously inflated prices and keeping the public in the dark about who's funneling money to him has a shameful and grifty feel to it," Shaub told Fox News on Monday.

The Iranians are trying to buy original Hunter Biden canvases, but Russian and CCP officials have beat them all to it.

Who in their right mind would want to buy any of Hunters crack fueled art? I assume this is an honest question. The people buying this slop are seeking Biden influence.

You know it’s corrupt when even the Kenyanesian Usurper’s ethics adviser thinks so.

Barack Obama’s presidential portait was made in China by an art factory.

It’s called influence peddling. Like when banks would pay Mrs. Bill Clinton $250,000 for a 30 minute talk sharing her “banking expertise”.

Those buying artwork from Hunter are seeking access to Biden/policy.
Those buying artwork BY Hunter on the aftermarket get NOTHING.
Expose this fraud by BUYING a Hunter painting. And then bring it to auction and let it fall flat.
This is why some people don’t want to bring their prized collections to auction, if they fail to make their asking price, it “devalues” the work.

Well, he does have difficulty avoiding crack, underage girls, and behaving inappropriately with female relatives.

They’re not buying the painting. They’re buying influence.

I don’t know what everyone is complaining about here. I recently bought Hunter’s ‘Man in a Tree’ painting for $150,000. It’s quality art, and it looks great in my living room.
Side note to Joe Biden: Thanks for that government contract. I really appreciate it.

Only someone that personally profited by the BHO admin would only “feel” that is is grifty. Any rational person would come to that conclusion first (that this is money laundering) and then demand proof that it isn’t.

It’s money laundering pure and simple. He is laundering payoff money.
I guess they figured a book deal in the millions would even more suspicious.
