The White House HELPED Hunter Biden reach deal to keep buyers of his (cough) $500,00 paintings confidential so they could ‘avoid’ ethics issues.

So how do the conniving Bidens assess their gargantuan tax obligations........IF they (cough) dont know the financial details of Hunters income?

the most amazing thing about the whole situation is that We the People continue to sit around expecting the system to indict and prosecute the apex predators running it!!

Giuliani: "I Turned Over Hunter Biden’s Laptop With Pictures Of “Underage Girls” To Delaware Police"

by Ian Schwartz | RealClearPolitics | October 20, 2020

[excerpt]

“Rudy Giuliani talks about ‘sensitive’ material on the laptop of Hunter Biden including “numerous pictures” of underage girls and an alleged text message exchange he had with his father where he admits to a relationship with a 14-year-old girl and creating an unsafe environment for his children.

The former New York City mayor said he turned the laptop over to police in Delaware with Bernard Kerik because he felt “uncomfortable” with it in his possession in an interview Monday with Newsmax TV’s Greg Kelly. ...”

Re: Hunter Biden and Burisma

FYI: Ukrainian gas giant Burisma is owned by Mykola Zlochevsky, a close ally of Russian president Putin. In fact, he was an official in the 'puppet' regime that Putin had installed in the Ukraine through a rigged election (energy minister and deputy national security council chair). The former 'puppet' president was thrown out of office in 2014 following Ukraine's "Euromaidan revolution" and immediately went into hiding in Russia where he remains today wanted in Ukraine for the crime of high treason.

That said...

“PUTIN'S FRIEND was paying Joe's son three, four, five, possibly more, millions of dollars. And he got under investigation.”

—Rudy Giuliani
______________________________________________

Giuliani, Sean Hannity show, Fox News, May 2019:

GIULIANI: He [Hunter Biden] was working for the most corrupt company in the Ukraine [Burisma]. He was working for a Ukrainian oligarch who was being protected by Putin. The same Putin that we have been hearing about for all this time, right? Imagine that.

GIULIANI [continuing]: Putin's friend was paying Joe’s son three, four, five, possibly more, millions of dollars. And he got under investigation. And Joe bragged two years later that he got the prosecutor general fired. He just left out of it that the prosecutor general was investigating his son and his son's crooked boss [Putin's friend]. And then afterwards, the case disappeared.

Massive bribe to stop Ukraine probe of Burisma founder intercepted

by Bradford Betz | Fox News | June 14, 2020

[excerpt]
Ukrainian officials on Saturday announced they intercepted a $6 million bribe attempt to stop a criminal investigation into the president of Burisma ...”

[Ukraine's anti-corruption prosecutor Nazar] Kholodnitsky and the head of the national anti-corruption bureau, Artem Sytnik, said the bribe was intended to encourage their offices to halt a probe of Mykola Zlochevsky, the head of Burisma and a former minister of ecology. Zlochevsky was accused of using his ministerial position for personal enrichment.

Three people, including a high-ranking tax service official, have been detained in connection with the attempted bribe, officials said Saturday.

In a statement, Burisma claimed the company had nothing to do with any bribe attempt.

"Neither Burisma Group President Mykola Zlochevsky nor other employees of the company have any relationship to the voiced events," the company said. "Mykola Zlochevsky didn’t ask for anyone to commit wrong actions and never contributed to such actions."

This is why I don’t believe Hunter actually painted any of these works. Look at the shiny surface of the last work in this thread (the others did not come through on my computer). This blue work has already been finished and shellacked. His brush is above the piece, not even touching it.
Plus there is such a variety in the styles he put out for sale. It takes years to reach that kind of control.
So he either paid someone to do these works or he bought works he is claiming now that he did.
None of them are worth more than a few thousand dollars, in my opinion, with years in this field.

An arts degree isn’t worth a pile of steaming crap if critics galleries brokers and artists are going to validate this is connected novice’s work

Maybe he applies a glossy sealer between color layers to keep them from bleeding into each other.

[AndyJackson]

The White House has said the identity of the buyers won’t be disclosed, so that neither Hunter Biden nor his father can be unduly influenced by big-spending art patrons who might see some benefit in funneling money to the president’s son.

Hey Joe and Hunter, ever want to see some great artwork I just acquired come spend the holidays on my Martha's Vineyard retreat. I have some real beauties to see, oh and some paintings too...

The artist credited with Barack Obama’s official presidential portrait farmed it out to a crew of artists in China. And that painting is doing a national tour to credible art museums this year.

Hunter Biden, the budding artist, is never going to be Jackson Pollock...

True. Whether you like Humper's work or not, at least he doesn't randomly dribble paint on a drop cloth.

[Republicanprofessor]

I’m not sure I believe that Obama’s portrait was created by a group of Chinese artists. I actually like the texture of this piece and I think it does show a unified design.

However, it is interesting how the vegetation overpowers Obama and his chair: as if the reliance upon “climate change” and environmentalism has run amuk.

[Republicanprofessor]

Perhaps, but it feels like a very finished piece to me.

I would like to see a video of Hunter actually painting these works. Most artists have such videos out there if they are serious....

I’m waiting.....

But sources told the New York Post that Wiley has multiple studios in China and does the bulk of his work there.

“It’s his base of operation,” art critic Charlie Finch, who was a student with Wiley at Yale University, told the outlet. “He has dozens of assistants working for him.”

[GSWarrior]

I disagree with the author’s statement that there is no objectivity in art.

[Organic Panic]

So every lobbyists just hangs a Hunter original in plain sight or simply tells the big guy they bought one. This is such a crock of crap and we all get to take a heaping spoonful for these crooked bastards.

[dinodino]

What a stupid article. I couldn’t read through the whole thing because of its stupidity.

[maxwellsmart_agent]

Have you looked at what he calls art? My two great-grandchildren, 2yr and 4yr olds do better. It is absolute junk. In His art sale, buyers and the amount paid are held in secret because it is a way of laundering money. There is no other reason for it.
