President Joe Biden has fervently denied any business dealings with his son, Hunter despite unequivocal evidence proving the opposite. Now, the president has gone so far as to involve the entire White House in what can be called nothing other than one of Hunter’s scams.
The Washington Post reported the bombshell story detailing “White House officials have helped craft an agreement under which purchases of Hunter Biden’s artwork – which could be listed at prices as high as $500,000 – will be kept confidential from even the artist himself, in an attempt to avoid ethical issues that could arise as a presidential family member tries to sell a product with a highly subjective value.”
Officials who helped craft the so-called “ethics agreement” claim they attempted “to do so in a way that allows the president’s son to pursue a new career while also adhering to the elder Biden’s pledge to reverse his predecessor’s ethical laxity, especially regarding family members” reports the Post.
A “new career” as an artist where pieces will be priced from $75,000-$500,000 and the most powerful office in the world is involved? Smells like President Joe Biden is very involved with his son’s business dealings.
To state the obvious, as Walter Shaub, who headed the Office of Government Ethics from 2013 to 2017 said, “what these people are paying for is Hunter Biden’s last name.” Shaub explained, “because we don’t know who is paying for this art and we don’t know for sure that [Hunter Biden] knows, we have no way of monitoring whether people are buying access to the White House.
“The whole thing is a really bad idea” said Richard Painter, who was chief ethics lawyer to President George W. Bush from 2005 to 2007. A foreign government could front someone to make a purchase, Painter said. “The initial reaction a lot of people are going to have is that he’s capitalizing on being the son of a president and wants people to give him a lot of money. I mean, those are awfully high prices” added Painter.
