Hunter Biden admits that he had no knowledge of and nothing to bring to the boards he served on other than his last name and relationship to the Vice President of the United States who at the time was serving as President Obama's point man on Ukraine and China. He also admits that other board members also had no more knowledge than he had. This means all of these malleable board members were installed for corrupt political purposes only. Ethics, expertise and fiduciary duty be damned.
Vice President Biden flew his son around the world on Air Force Two selling him and his political influence to the highest bidders--and this is to foreign governments, even potential enemies in the case of China
This is unethical as hell.
This is the very definition of corruption.
None dare call it treason.
Sounds like Ukraine is a bit “lawless.” Interesting that the DNC server is in this lawless country and just a stones throw from Russia. Ya know, the same Russians who hacked the DNC server. Interesting too that everybody and their brother (or son) were involved in Ukraine and there to make money.
I get that. But I imagine that they still have “laws”. Violating a foreign law because ‘everyone else is doing it’, just doesn’t strike me as a particularly good defense.
Agreed. But that will be the defense. And with a corrupt leadership, it is easy for things to “disappear” if you grease enough palms.
Biden Corruption?
Obviously there is no controlling legal authority.
You nailed it.
It’s unethical and corrupt as hell and Democrats don’t care.
Decent people however do care and this is adding to President Trump’s upcoming win for reelection.
MAGA!
We need to start asking very loudly, exactly why it is, that this isn't against the law.
Of course, we know why. It's because it is a form of institutional corruption. Make the political class defend itself.
Like the IG report is delayed again forever. Nothing will happen to a RAT.
USC 18 Section 872 states that extortion is illegal by officers and employees of the government.
It is against the law.
Way would Congress pass laws that would outlaw their corruption?
The books of laws of this country would fill a small library. And the standard of “the appearance of impropriety” has been invoked hundreds of times in the last half century. It is bribery, extortion, influence peddling, abuse of power... And when you compare it to the tofu nothingburger they want to impeach Trump over...
Hunter is as weak-minded as his father, but equally corrupt and compromised.
"If you and your father never discuss your foreign business dealings, what was the premise of riding on Air Force Two to go to China - Take Your Child to Work Day?"
the american people who vote will know that biden is corrupt.
Well, perhapsyou are wrong. It is likely hunter doesn’t measure up to his father.
He became a Naval Reserve officer with a direct commission and was literally drummed out for cocaine use. That event indicates intellectual vacuity verging on stupidity. At the very least he indicated daddy directed competence he was unable to provide on his own.
His degrees result from his name.
Being a party to this kind of influence peddling, while perhaps not technically a felony, is precisely the sort of odure of corruption that the term “high crimes and misdemeanors” in the Constitution was intended to cover.
Were Biden in office, his acquiesence, even active participation and encouragement, of his ne’er-do-well, philandering, druggie son’s influence peddling would be grounds for impeachment.
If he extorted foreigners on US soil (even if using a telephone or computer) he would be guilty of violating the law.
I am sure any decent Justice Dept. lawyer could find a few hundred counts for any indictment.
An audit of his tax returns would be interesting as well...
Democrats love extortion, bribery, theft.
The law only applies to Deplorables.
