(9,999 posts)Biden will be questioned about it endlessly like Hillary was about Benghazi and her emails.
He needs to stay on message and not take the bait.
If he starts defending and explaining they will never let Biden talk about anything else, or certainly the media will never report about Biden talking about anything else. All of Hillary's amazing speeches and policies were ignored and/or muted to talk about crap.
Would not be surprised if the Senate does not call an investigation into it and someone in the FBI happens to leak they have been instructed to look into the matter.
This shit worked the last time, Will it work again?
Meanwhile Trumps kids continue to travel the world making deals because of their Daddy and enriching themselves and no one bats an eye.

(108,955 posts)And it says Hunter's actions posed a conflict of interest -- which is true. And an appearance of conflict of interest, even if no one acted impermissibly, is something that should always be avoided.

Key takeaways
Hunter Biden did hold a directorship for a Ukrainian gas company while his father was vice president. Experts agree that Hunter Biden's acceptance of the position created a conflict of interest for his father.
Vice President Joe Biden did urge Ukraine to fire its top prosecutor, with the threat of withholding U.S. aid. But that was the position of the wider U.S. government, as well as other international institutions.
We found no evidence to support the idea that Joe Biden advocated with his son's interests in mind, as the message suggests. It's not even clear that the company was actively under investigation or that a change in prosecutors benefited it.
