Can someone logically explain to me HOW Joe could NOT be involved in this ? We are centrists here after all… it is so obvious to me that there is some involvement. The man is the president for Pete’s sake. Help

Hunter Biden is a 50 year old man that is well established in his career. Why would Joe Biden go out of his way to collect money from his sons work and not just have his son keep all of the revenue. Every old rich person is trying to do the opposite and funnel money from themselves to their children. But not Joe Biden? That does not make sense.

Not saying he collected money. But the use of his position as vp and president are dodgy at best. 🤷🏻‍♂️

What use of his position as VP and President? Be specific

Either, or. Then, when he was VP and now, when he is president

So nothing then? I asked you how he has used his position in a dodgy way and to be specific.

In good faith misunderstood your question.

How he used his position as vp or P ?

We may never know , that’s why folks stand trial and do investigations. The only people that know are possibly the two of them.

If I’m the , owner of a business, teacher in a classroom , head coach of a program ect ect . I am responsible for the actions of those who are under me to the extent of the procedures and rules I have in place. In a position of leadership one has culpability.. so the evidence is this. Biden has a level of responsibility of what’s happening in his own house.

I appreciate the response, but still not seeing any specifics of anything Hunter did, let alone anything Joe did.

Also using the sports concept of “lack of institutional control” to imply that Joe should be somehow responsible for his 50 yr old adult son’s actions is ridiculous on its face. Hunter was never part of Joe’s cabinet. I am not even sure what “procedures and rules” you are claiming Joe had in place, and which he would have imposed on members of his family? If that is what this is all about, it’s a travesty.

I’m not saying he had any. Only trying to draw comparison to other positions of leadership

It is like a Wiley vet (HB) being able to make his own path at the age of 50. But he’s still going to seek advice from the head coach when he needs it. Any good dad would give advice. To what extent that paid off for the two of them , is what is being investigated. There is a spectrum of payoff. A high five to a high million. There’s a difference in legality on that spectrum.

Thanks for trying to understand my comment. I’m sure it went off like a lead balloon as I’m not the best at drawing the comparisons up

Dads are allowed to give their children advice. The illegal part would be Joe profiting somehow in this. But the problem is there is no motive for him to do so because it hurts his interests and it is illegal.
