Selling the illusion of access: Devon Archer testifies about Hunter Biden’s use of his father’s ‘brand’ - Lemmy.ca

Curious how none of these Republican house committee members gave a damn when everyone of Trump‘s children did this for four years. Now they suddenly have a problem with Hunter Biden doing it?

Give me a fucking break 

I think you’re missing the point. It’s one thing to use your parents’ influence to get ahead in business, but it’s another thing entirely to use their influence to withhold international aid and pressure a foreign government to kill a corruption investigation into the company that you just so happen to sit on the board of. Granted, these are all just allegations at this point, but that’s why this case is receiving so much attention.
I think you’re missing the point. Ousting Shokin wasn’t Biden blocking corruption investigations, it was him literally doing the bidding of the Obama administration, and was supported by the IMF and the entire G-7. That’s why he was proud of it, because it was an example of him doing his job exceptionally well. Also Shokin liked to open investigations then leave them open as blackmail, which is exactly what he did to Burisma, so this isn’t some smoking gun.
Shokin is also a corrupt pro-russian operative.
