We find the Joe Biden screw up son being kept close to his dad like a long lost wayward son….
And?
We are told that the sins of the Republicans on Hunter’s case are coming to prime time media soon….
Ouch?
President Biden tries to keep his son close.
When Hunter accompanied the president on a trip to Ireland in the spring, he traveled on Air Force One and slept on a cot in his father’s hotel room. When Hunter flies to Washington from his home in Malibu, he stays at the White House, sometimes for weeks at a time. When he is on the West Coast, his father calls him nearly every day, sometimes more than once.
Hunter shares his father’s tendency toward effusiveness and intensity in interactions with people he loves, according to people who know both of them. They also share a quick temper.
“I’m like his security blanket,” Hunter told The New Yorker in 2019. “I don’t tell the staff what to do. I’m not there giving directions or orders. I shake everybody’s hands. And then I tell him to close his eyes on the bus. I can say things to him that nobody else can.”
Allies of the president have deep respect for the bond, but have privately criticized Mr. Biden’s apparent inability to say no when Hunter sought to pull him into his business dealings. Some allies of the president say his loyalty to his son — inviting him to state dinners, flying with him aboard Marine One and standing on the White House balcony with him — has resulted in wholly avoidable political distractions.
No hard evidence has emerged that Mr. Biden personally participated in or profited from the business deals or used his office to benefit his son’s partners while he was vice president. And Mr. Biden’s advisers have pointed to legal experts who argue that the tax and gun charges against the president’s son are rarely prosecuted.
Still, Hunter Biden’s business dealings have raised concerns because testimony and reports have indicated that he traded on the family name to generate lucrative deals. Devon Archer, Hunter’s former business partner, told congressional investigators that Hunter used “the illusion of access to his father” to win over potential partners….
…
Mr. Biden told MSNBC in May that his son had done nothing wrong.
“I trust him,” he said. “I have faith in him.”
Last month, when asked by reporters at Camp David about the special counsel investigation into his son, Mr. Biden’s response was terse.
“That’s up to the Justice Department,” Mr. Biden said, “and that’s all I have to say.”
Mr. Biden then left Camp David and rode aboard Air Force One to Lake Tahoe for vacation. Hunter joined him there.
That time, the president’s son flew commercial…..
…
A media storm of op research is coming soon as the very people who have tried to nail Joe Biden to his son’s sins…..
Democratic knife-fighter David Brock is going on the offensive again, disseminating opposition research to various news outlets regarding the family members of various congressional Republicans—and not just the committee members who are investigating the president and his son, Hunter Biden. “Gloves are off, families are on,” Brock told me. “We’ve been looking into how the children of those same members may have benefited from their parents’ position. We’re not shy about going after the members.”
Facts First, Brock’s super PAC, has been the main communications apparatus to defend Hunter in G.O.P. inquiries and a possible impeachment. It’s the type of unseemly work that the White House doesn’t want to touch, given that Hunter is a drag on the administration. Yet it’s also the kind of dirty work that Biden, as a father, has expressed appreciation for—causing a natural friction between these outside groups and the White House.
Back in March, I wrote that Brock and his PAC were investing in research on the G.O.P. investigators, like House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan and House Oversight Chair Jim Comer…..
