Has Hunter Biden enriched himself by way of selling the fact he has a personal connection to Joe Biden? I don't doubt it -- whether it was explicit or implicit, the fact he has a powerful politician for a father certainly opened doors for him that wouldn't otherwise have been open.
You could say the same for practically every spouse and adult child of a powerful politician in this country.
For example, Jenna Bush famously was handed a featured correspondent spot on the Today Show right out of college, despite having no journalistic training or experience. There are people with Ivy League journalism degrees and years of work breaking stories who'd kill for that job, and instead they recruited a totally untrained neophyte. Why? Well, obviously, it's because of who her father was.
Or how about her dad? He was brought in by a bunch of filthy-rich investors on a deal to buy the Texas Rangers, even though he had exactly zero experience in the sports business, and what business experience he did have involved driving a few oil companies into the ground. Why, when he brought neither expertise nor significant money to the effort, were they willing to cut him a sweetheart deal? Well, of course, it's because his father wielded vast political power and getting in good with him by way of enriching his son had value to those investors.
And how about HIS father? With nothing but an undergrad degree, he got the help from the head of Dresser Industries in setting up his own oil development Company. With zero experience in oil development, why were investors willing to hand him money for that? Well, his father was an up-and-coming Republican senator, so buying a little access by way of giving the kid a leg up in the business made sense.
And how about HIS father? Somehow he got a job as a VP at an investment bank just shortly after graduating college. How? Well, turns out the president of the company was his father-in-law, so his total lack of experience wasn't an obstacle.
And how about that father-in-law? When he was a young man, he managed to set up a successful investment firm just three years out of his undergraduate education. Why were people willing to risk their money with someone who had so little practical experience? Well, that's because they were looking for his connection to his father, David Davis Walker, the magnate of Ely, Walker.
Generation after generation after generation of that family traded on their connections to powerful predecessors to get legs up in business that would never otherwise have been available. Yet, when it's a Democrat who has allegedly done that, we're suddenly supposed to act like it's a shock.
It doesn't look like you included peddling influence to foreign countries there, and that's what the Bidens did.
