This we already know:
When the Hunter/Morris relationship began, Morris was playing the role of loyal Democratic donor, a hard-core activist, a Biden backer, who showed up when he was told.
He was introduced to Hunter at a 2019 Joe Biden political fundraiser. Soon after......almost as if it was pre-planned......Morris was giving Hunter legal advice AND copious amounts of money, including paying off Hunter’s long-delinquent taxes (before criminal charges were filed).
The Morris money also included paying for Hunter’s lavish lifestyle.......perhaps even Hunter’s coke addiction?
The wily Morris may be most eager to avoid the label “Democratic donor” because the Hunter payments could be viewed as an “unreported campaign donation to Joe Biden.”
Most auspiciously, Morris was brought into the Biden domain during Joe Biden’s campaign for president.
On February 7, 2020, Morris bellyached how paying Hunter’s taxes was a “considerable risk personally and politically.”
Was this a veiled message to Joe Biden, Morris calling for help?
Morris seems to have resolved his “political liability” of paying off Hunter’s taxes, now calling it a “loan.”
Morris’ millions are now on the table as “loans” because, if they are actually gifts, they could create a new tax problem for Hunter ......having to declare such “gifts” to the IRS.
The Morris “loans” would continue. Morris insists that it was all standard “loan” stuff. Except he is not a bank. He was repeatedly referring to Hunter as his “client.”

It is increasingly hard to discern what the Morris/Biden relationship was at any given moment:
<><>Morris is a hard core Democrat, an activist, a campaign donor, a Biden backer.
<><>he was also depicted as Hunter’s lender, his lawyer, his friend, an art client
<><>whether the Morris/Biden role-playing was entirely calculated is significant
<><>the two met meeting at a Joe Biden fund-raiser in 2019,
<><>Morris ‘loaned’ the president’s son at least $5 million.
<><>repayment was not required til Biden’s presidential election
<><> the ‘loans’ may ultimately be forgiven.
<><>left unclear is ‘when’ Morris lent Hunter money and ‘when’ he took on other roles.
<><>Morris insists it was all standard ‘loan’ stuff.
<><>except Morris is not a bank, and Hunter was routinely called his legal ‘client’
<><>the Morris/Hunter role smells of de facto campaign contributions to Joe Biden.
<><>Morris’ role-playing to shield Biden’s campaign from political liabilities is disturbing,
<><>professional ethical rules are designed to avoid a blurring of client/lawyer roles.
<><>as a member, Morris is in violation of the Calif Bar’s Rules of Professional Conduct.
<><>Morris has now admitted to providing personal funds to bail out Hunter
<><>Hunter has been confirmed to be a client – or reasonably believes himself to be Morris’s client
<><>this violates the Rules of Professional Conduct and well-known norms of the legal profession.
SOOOOOOOOOO-—WHAT LEGAL RECORDS OF ALL THAT MONEY GOING TO HUNTER HAS MORRIS KEPT????
