Hunter Biden’s addiction is not the issue. Joe Biden’s addiction is: His addiction to power and money. And it is the evidence of the former vice president’s corruption, and the national security risk our country would face by electing Biden, that is the story of the MacBook hard drive, (Snip)Yet Hunter Biden’s addiction, and the fact that tens of thousands of other Americans suffer similar demons, does not atone for the sins of the father. And that is what the email and text scandal concerns: Evidence that Joe Biden, while vice president of the United States, knowingly allowed his son to profit by selling access to Biden and others in

Cleveland cautions us not to get hung up on the salacious stuff - the drugs, the sex. That is what Joe wants us to see. What he doesn’t want us to see is his using his troubled son to pull off a massive betrayal of U. S. foreign policy in order to line Joe’s coffers. Joe sacrificed Hunter for his own gain.

Hunter Biden introduced his father to Burisma a year before Joe had the prosecutor fired. He wasn't just pressuring the Ukrainians to stop investigating Burisma, but also HIMSELF. He is guilty of using his office to sell influence and subvert US foreign policy. I think a jail sentence is not out of the question here.

Indeed, good article making an important point. I'll add that it even goes beyond Joe, this is a glimpse into how the swamp has been selling us out for decades.

The money was for Joe and he let his son keep some for being the front man. Joe is the most significant criminal in this pay-for-play criminality.

We don’t talk much about the national security implications - Cleveland does:
Evidence of this scandal is too strong to ignore or to allow Joe Biden, the Democratic Party, or corporate media to cast aside as an unseemly attack on a recovering drug addict, and not merely because of the corruption at issue. Every country, every foreign politician or political faction, and every corrupt oligarch or business that paid for access has the emails, notes, receipts, itineraries, fund transfers, and maybe even photographs or recordings. And that makes Joe Biden a national security risk.
Remember, it was Acting Attorney General Sally Yates’ concern that then-National Security Advisor Michael Flynn was a national security risk that sent her to the White House to get him fired. The Russians would know, she maintained, that Flynn had misrepresented to Vice President Mike Pence his conversations with the Russian ambassador, and that would leave Flynn compromised. Of course, that theory was so preposterous that even disgraced former FBI Director James Comey called it a stretch.

Joe Biden is LITERALLY the MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE with son Hunter as the bagman...he is bought and paid for by the Communist Chinese Party...if you vote for him you are either corrupt, ignorant, or a fool...

Should NEVER have put his son ...or anyone he loves...or cares about...in this position. And worse, Hunter is obviously weak and complained that despite providing so much for the family he still gets no respect. Mean people. BAD DAD!

Peter Schweizer's recent book (released Jan 2020) "Profiles in Corruption" covers the Biden family extensively. It is a well-referenced writing and shows how deep and how long the Biden machine has operated.
Wake up America! This is not a healthy family.
I have read this book, and it is well worth reading, especially if you care about the future of this country.

The reason Hunter led the addicted and perverted life he did is because his father was Joe Biden. How would you feel if your father was so powerful that he could use $1B of US aid to get a foreign prosecutor fired that was investigating you? What chance would some local sheriff or States Attorney have bringing charges against you if you knew you were a "made man" and could destroy their careers with a phone call? The federal FBI and DOJ are even afraid of you. Who has that kind of "juice"?

Why couldn't it be about both? We have room in our jails for both, and our FBI, Barr, and Durham aren't doing anything, so have plenty of time.

From the way Joseph Biden has been acting since the latest politically based corruption information related to him came out, you have to figure that as an old line corrupt liberal Democrat and “UniParty” lawyer-politician who has been a DC grifter for over 47 years, that Biden believes that he is of the entitled political establishment class that is about the closest thing to royalty that exists in Washington, DC, and that his corrupt activities are none of the voter’s business.
Based upon what is known now about Biden’s corrupt activities involving foreigners, it is fair to ask about the time that Barack Obama and Biden in the middle of the night sent about a billion and a half dollars worth of untraceable foreign bank notes (cash money) to the Iranian Mullahs and what percentage of that money was kicked back to certain corrupt establishment DC “UniParty” politicians that may well be languishing in foreign bank accounts.

Of course the story is about Joe....and the supreme risk to national security he would be, given the considerable leverage over him now held by the Chinese and Russians.
Just as important, however, is the reality it reveals of Joe's willingness to violate his oath of office, and his implied promises to all Americans, by selling out our collective prosperity and security for cash. Joe is clearly for sale to a high-enough bidder....promises and obligations be darned. If he would sell out the entire country for a few million dollars, it is a virtual certainty that he will sell out any particular constituency for similar amounts.
As the old joke goes, we've already established what he is, we're just haggling over the price.

Joe Biden made other members of his family wealthy by selling out his position, not just Hunter Biden/

And at least one email - that went to more than one recipient - outlined how the profits would be allotted and indicated that a cut would go to Hunter for The Big Guy - Joe. There is also Hunter’s rather anguished email to his daughter Naomi saying she will not have to do what he did - give half of her salary to Pop.
