The problem: testimony from his first son, Hunter Biden, that he lied about his father’s proximity during business dealings.
That Hunter Biden was stoned at the summit and President Biden is sitting next to him doesn’t matter (“Hunter’s ‘High’ $5.1M Crimes” February 29).
He was lucid enough to exploit his father’s name to try to gain an advantage during the shakedown. This whole incident highlights the type of “business” that Hunter, Joe, and the rest of the Biden family union were running. Without Papa Joe, there was no business.
If the Biden case was legitimate, why would Hunter need to invoke his father’s name in the first place? Wouldn’t the family do everything possible to avoid any trace of impropriety?

There comes a point where the credibility of the witness becomes non-existent. The accused is well supervised and whatever the format (closed-door or open-door hearings), he leads the story thanks to his manipulative behavior.
This is clearly someone who has no sense of reality or responsibility for his thug behavior, even when sober.

Like the Kennedys, the Biden family has experienced more than its fair share of tragedy. But that shouldn’t be an excuse to engage in illegal and questionable behavior and use the aforementioned difficulties as a crutch for everything Hunter has done.
I can speak of many people in my wife’s family and mine who have endured great hardship at one time or another – and as far as I know, no member of our extended families has foundered. to the levels we saw in this case.
Yeah, I know: “Walk a mile in my shoes.” » But there is something to be said for that English expression from a bygone era, “stiff upper lip, and all that”.

Oops! I robbed a bank. Oops! I sold drugs. Oops! I killed someone.
It’s bad, I was just high.
Really? Is this the narrative the Biden organization is trying to promote?
This is all smoke and mirrors, not a viable excuse and should not be taken seriously. I can’t wait to see what happens next in this ridiculous charade.

If Hunter Biden did not involve his father in his affairs, as he claimed in his testimony, then why did he write to Henry Zhao: “I am sitting here with my father”?
Apparently Hunter thinks he can smoke his cocaine and snort it too.

Like his father, Hunter Biden continues to insult our intelligence. Regardless of his physical and psychological condition, he always used his father’s name to obtain money.
The nerve of this pampered and privileged man is shocking. And shame on these bootlicking elected officials who organize lame press briefings while denying any illicit activity.
The Biden family has made our country an international laughing stock.

Hunter Biden’s defense of the message he sent to the Chinese executive was that he was high and “made it up.” He testified before Congress to this effect.
Well, I looked through the post and it seems to me that a person under the influence could not have written a more clear and distinct demand for $5 million. The reference to Hunter’s father sitting next to him, whether he was or not, clearly has a very threatening tone.
Furthermore, does anyone believe that a Chinese leader would be willing to pay more than $5 million – as congressional investigators found – for a crack addict? Hunter and the Biden family are hiding the truth.
