Former Vice President Joe Biden promised on Thursday that his youngest son, Hunter, will join the campaign trail..
Biden ... made the pledge during an interview with the Reno Gazette Journal during a campaign swing through Nevada.
“He’s a fine man. He’s been through hell,” the former vice president said of his son, before expressing he would soon be part of the campaign.
The younger Biden has not appeared alongside his father in public in months. Initially, Hunter Biden was supposed to attend his father’s campaign launch in late-April, but those plans were squashed after Breitbart News reported on a 2016 incident in which a cocaine pipe was found in a car he rented in Arizona. Since then, Hunter Biden has kept a low profile, apart from a June profile in the New Yorker magazine in which he discussed his shadowy business dealings and longstanding drug abuse.
Hunter Biden’s reemergence on the campaign coincides with heightened scrutiny over his role at Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian oil and natural gas conglomerate, and if it intersected with his father’s political influence. The controversy began when President Donald Trump suggested the Ukrainian government look into Hunter Biden’s business dealings in the country, as there are multiple red flags concerning conflicts of interest.
In particular, the most prominent and perplexing concern is how and why Hunter Biden secured an appointment to Burisma’s board of directors, a position which purportedly paid as much as $83,000 per month, in 2014. As Peter Schweizer, senior contributor at Breitbart News, detailed in his book, Secret Empires: How the American Political Class Hides Corruption and Enriches Family and Friends, Hunter Biden had no prior experience with either the energy industry or Ukraine before being tapped for the position.

Hunter might make a appearance, but I don’t see him as a regular on Joe’s campaign.
Quid Pro Joe must be paying Hunter a big salary from his campaign funds. Nepotism.
And he just rubs our faces in it.
I guess there’s a first time for everything - Joe Biden is actually recommending his son Hunter for a job he’s remotely qualified for.
Good grief, he is doubling down on stupid. SMH
China won’t investigate the payoff to the Biden’s because everything is a state action anyway, so they already know and aren’t going to admit wrong doing.
But Trump asking China to investigate the payoffs, hung the payoffs around the Biden’s necks. And it forces the liberal media to try to justify not investigating the payoffs.
Thrown out of the USN for being a crack addict. What an asset to the campaign.
Bythe way our CONgress is acting, Iwould say a whole lot of them got their Bribes and Kickbacks from the BILLIONS in MISSING AID to Ukraine. Every last One of them should be put under the same microscope as Trump. Let’s see what happens.
Biden will be out of the race due to the payoffs.
Sander’s will be out of the race on health issues.
Pelosi should end up on the defensive because of her Ukraine payoffs.
Fauxahontas was +6 in the latest poll over Biden (Economist)
They should both just disappear and show up years later on an island in the Bahamas with no extradition treaty. What do they need with US politics, to be a mere POTUS for four years or less. They got the money to live like kings.
He has an ample supply of it.
One real idiot opined, “why does he have to investigate Biden in China. Can’t he just investigate him here?” Where do they get these people?
I’m sure that’s why Pelosi got on board.
Once it was known that Trump and Ukraine’s president was discussing the Biden’s payoffs, it was only a matter of time before they realized who else was getting payoffs.
Better check the roster of all Ukrainian companies, not just energy, for the children and siblings of Congressmen and Senators.
Pelosi needs to be run out of office for taking payoffs. She needs to be imprisoned with Maxine Waters as a roommate and both denied solitary confinement.

There blows the Cocaine and Hooker budget!
It has to be part of the Biden family criminal defense strategy. Biden learned from Hillary who had to run to keep from getting charged for numerous felonies. Any charges will be dutifully echoed in the media as political persecution.
If the Bidens did nothing wrong, they would welcome an investigation as POTUS would come up with nothing, then they could stuff it in POTUS’ face as a political vendetta. Except everyone knows, like the pay-to-get-in-college scandal popular among the left, the Ukranian family with the last name Biden (/s), is not clean, no matter how much the leftist press tries to scrub it.
Hunter will have a behind the scenes job where he can get paid for doing nothing. He probably will make one or two appearances to support the claim he works for the campaign.
I guess this is what was meant by hunter-gatherer economy.
Can’t remember if it was Woody or Coach on “Cheers” that asked why they should burn someone in effigy when they could burn then right here in Boston.
