The White House helped broker the deal that would allow buyers of Hunter Biden's paintings to remain confidential, despite widespread concerns it could lead to bribery and influence peddling, it was revealed on Thursday.
The plan will allow Hunter Biden to forge ahead with his new career as an artist after a career change from a high-paid consultant on international deals, by also shielding him from the identities of those who purchase his pricey works.
The deal came about after Biden administration staffers reached out to Hunter's lawyers to forge a plan intended to 'avoid' ethics concerns and let the president's son pursue his new career.
But there are still questions over how the administration and his lawyers will stop individual buyers from reaching out to Hunter or someone revealing how much one of his paintings has been purchased for.
The idea is avoid a situation where he knew who was buying his work so he might be in the position to do them a favor – although it still provides an opportunity for unidentified individuals to shovel large sums to the president's son as he battles high living costs and legal fees.

Impeach means nothing now
It would take nothing for a drunk or stoned person to lose their balance and fall off the pool patio into the abyss. You’d think a fence would be there to prevent such a thing.
I can see a potential comedy routine based on this Hunter “artist” fraud. We see the auction floor of Sotheby’s, with a full contingent of CCP operatives in suits, bidding up the price of a “Hunter original”. The successful bidder smiles and picks up his painting with a gracious bow and smile. As his entourage leaves, which consists of all the attendees, he turn the corner after leaving the Southeby’s building, and tosses the carefully wrapped Hunter Biden Original painting, in the nearest dumpster.
as many in the FIB spoke up for the taped raped girls
they had on multiple videos, as did for the raped and
eaten girls in NY on those videos.
no one.
no one.
more FIB crossdress and rape little children
and get away with it FOR YEARS,
than spoke up for the little children on those tapes.
There are trampolines stationed below the edge.
