Hunter Biden has been living off his father’s influence and connections his entire life, a review of public information and data contained on his old laptop show.

<><>The future first son caught his first break back in 1988 when he was busted for drug possession. At a time when Sen. Joe Biden was pushing stiffer sentences for drug users to bolster his War on Drugs bonafides, Hunter Biden was treated with kid gloves.

“I was cited for possession of a controlled substance in Stone Harbor, NJ. There was a pre-trial intervention and the record was expunged,” he said in a disclosure after being nominated to serve on the Amtrak Reform Board in 2006.

<><>Biden family benefits continued for Hunter when he applied to Yale Law School. Dean Guido Calabresi got a call from the school’s most powerful alumnus, President Bill Clinton, who asked him to accept Hunter Biden, a recent Georgetown graduate, according to a 2019 report in Chronicle of Higher Education.

Calabresi, who had walled off the dean’s office from the admissions process at Yale Law to avoid just such pressure, told Clinton that he would not intercede. The admissions office then rejected Hunter. But Calabresi met with Hunter, encouraged him to go to a different law school and to then apply to Yale as a transfer student. Hunter Biden went to Georgetown University Law for a year, and was admitted to Yale in the summer of 1994.

This is a subtle attempt to shift the damage to hunter. Removes the bidet from any exposure as his son was using his family name.

Wasn’t there arm twisting to get Hunter a Naval JAG commission? A commission he quietly got cashiered from because of cocaine use.
