Are you serious? There are two separate questions here:
-
Was Hunter Biden engaged in influence peddling? I don’t know how anyone could think otherwise. The guy is a crackhead screwup, But somehow landed a $50,000+ per month board position on a corrupt Ukranian gas and oil firm despite knowing nothing about Oil, Gas, or the Ukraine, and a multi-million dollar payout from various sketchy Chinese firms with connections to the Chinese Communist Party. Hunter even admitted that he would not have gotten any of that if his last name wasn’t Biden. Hunter’s deal with Burisma raised flags with anti-corruption authorities around the world As did Biden bragging about getting the prosecutor looking into Burisma fired.
-
Was Joe Biden personally involved, and did he actually trade U.S. government favors to enrich his family? The jury is still out on that, but his demanding the firing of the Burisma prosecutor and his taking Hunter to China on Air Force Two immediately before the Chinese deals both look sketchy. At the very least, he allowed the perception that Hunter was wired into the administration.
Do I think this is unique to Biden? Nope. I think Senators trading on their power is common, and one of the reasons Washington is a swamp. These are the guys that voted themselves the right to trade on inside knowledge and scew over other investors. Republicans and Democrats alike.
