Current White House chief of staff Ron Klain approached Hunter Biden in September 2012 for help raising $20,000 for a foundation that looks after the vice president’s residence, but told the now-first son to “keep it low key” to prevent “bad PR,” according to emails obtained by The Post

In a Sept. 21, 2012 message to Hunter Biden, first reported by Fox News, Klain said he needed to “tackle a piece of unpleasant business.”

“The tax lawyers for the VP Residence Foundation have concluded that since the Cheney folks last raised money in 2007 and not 2008, we actually have to have some incoming funds before the end of this fiscal year (i.e., before 9/30/12 – next week) to remain eligible to be a ‘public charity,’” wrote Klain, referring to former Vice President Dick Cheney.

Klain at the time was chairman of the nonprofit Vice President’s Residence Foundation after leaving then-Vice President Joe Biden’s office the year before.

Isn’t this the same Ron Klain who told Stephanopolous he thought the Bidens did nothing untoward at all re: Hunter, in fact did everything just right, during George’s “hard hitting” interview just this weekend?

There ws another "hard hitting' media interview. Norduh O'Donnell at CBS interviewed Biden's sister. NorDUH elevated her to saint status with her hard hitting interview.,

Thats nothing. Once in the second grade, Trump JR displayed utter contempt for authority as he jaywalked across the street a block up from the school crossing guard

As someone else has pointed out I see Joe Biden giving Hunter Biden a pardon.

I read a couple books on the subject matter. Biden’s kids have been treated like little Gods their entire lives.

There is absolutely zero question that Biden pardons Hunter, but Biden has practiced this great fake-Kennedy thing all around Washington / VA / Delaware in his private life. “My word as a Biden” comes to mind.

So, there will be great effort to see he’s not charged, and if that isn’t stopped, his handlers care about Timing.

Timing is everything here.
