Inside the life of Hunter Biden, Joe Biden’s scandal-plagued son
NY Post ^ | Emily Jacobs

Posted on 10/15/2020 2:42:18 AM PDT by RoosterRedux

Hunter did not become a mainstay in the news until his role with Burisma during his father’s tenure as vice president became a primary focus of the Ukraine scandal surrounding Trump, an issue that led to the president’s eventual impeachment trial along party lines in the House and acquittal by the Senate.

During the hearings and subsequent trial, Democrats accused Trump of offering a quid pro quo by requesting that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky launch an investigation into the Bidens while Trump was withholding nearly $400 million in aid to the country.

Republicans, meanwhile, argued that allegations against the Bidens were damning enough to merit the president asking for a probe, regardless of Joe’s candidacy for president.

Hunter has been accused of profiting off his father’s vice presidential status by earning tens of thousands of dollars per month to sit on a board for a corrupt company in an industry in which he had no prior experience.

At the time, the elder Biden led the Obama administration’s Ukraine policy.

Hunter’s role with Burisma raised red flags for some in the Obama administration’s State Department, which a recent Senate Homeland Security Committee report found were raised to Biden and those in his orbit.

The 87-page report published late last month noted that two American officials — George Kent, former acting deputy chief of mission at the US Embassy in Kiev, and senior State Department official Amos Hochstein — “raised concerns” to Biden’s staff and directly to Biden, respectively.

“Despite the efforts of these individuals, their concerns appear to have fallen on deaf ears,” the report says.

“Moreover, this investigation has illustrated the extent to which officials within the Obama administration ignored the...warning signs when the vice president’s son joined the board of a company owned by a corrupt Ukrainian oligarch.”

Hunter got kicked out of the military for failed drug test(s). He already was in.

So what happens if Slow Joe drops out of the election....?

Assuming he would (which at this point I don’t think he would) it would not matter. His name is on the ballot and if he gets the votes he becomes President

IIRC, he failed a drug test to get OUT of the military. They kicked him out of the Navy Reserves.

“I would rather see direct links to Joe Biden of corruption.”
______________________________
.
From Rudy’s website:

Text message from Hunter to sister Naomi:

“I love all of you. But, I don’t receive any respect and that’s fine I guess - works for you apparently. I hope you all can do what I did and pay for everything for this entire family Fro 30 years. It’s really hard. But don’t worry unlike Pop I won’t make you give me half your salary”

This text message from Hunter Biden to Naomi Biden describes the ongoing schemes by the Biden Crime Family to ensure the Boss (Joe Biden) receives his share of the family money. This is only the tip of the iceberg.

It does make you wonder what & when NYTs/WPOST became corrupted. These Biden stories should of been easy to pick up & investigate! If anything these left wing rages should have a third party investigate themselves. Glad to see NYPOST investing & reporting.

>>>He won’t drop out. He’ll just keep on denying.

Plus he’ll get really really mad (theatrical) & state “I am fighting for the soul of country in the Senate”

I’ve been impressed with how lame (even for him) Bidet’s responses to “the Hunter question” have been. It’s now visibly irritating lefty talking heads like tapper and blitzer.

He’s losing ground at an incredible rate.

I dispute their use of the term “scandal-plagued”.

“Scandalous son Hunter Biden” is more appropriate and accurate.

Naomi is Hunter’s daughter (named after his deceased sister). Ashley is his sister.

Hunter was paid $83,333.33 a month-—calculating to a million $$$ a year. He also negotiated the same salary for his ‘business partner’.

Ukraine has provided check copies.
