I don't know the details, but in general it seems pretty obviously crooked. Like, hunter clearly isn't qualified for it. It's entirely possible Joe had nothing to do with it, but if that's so, why haven't we seen any evidence against? I get that this would be proving a negative, but I think the onus is on Biden regardless when something so openly suspicious comes out.
Why does there need to be evidence? It's not illegal to use your connections to get your son a cushy job whether he did it or not.
But it's clearly very unethical, and not something a president should be doing. So if he did, that's a big deal.
First of all, he wasn't president when Hunter got on the board of Burisma. Secondly, that is not an impeachable offense. Thirdly, if you want to talk about presidents using their powers to help out their kids, let's talk about Trump and Ivanka and Jared.
No, let's not do whataboutism. I agree that what trump did was bad, but trump is not the subject right now.
1: Why does it matter when he did the bad thing? Neither trump nor Biden has sexually assaulted someone in the last 20 years or so, do those events not matter somehow? Can we not judge Biden on his time as VP then either?
