That\u2019s how this works, right?<\/p>\n<p>The Biden case is potentially <em>worse <\/em>because Hunter, under criminal investigation, implicates his father as fiscal beneficiary in his dealings with corrupt Eastern European energy interests and the ChiComs.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s plausible, of course, that Hunter and his business partner Tony Bobulinski might have been lying about the \u201cBig Guy.\u201d It\u2019s also true that if this story were about any Republican president, the media would be deploying squadrons of reporters to find out. After all, the president has previously said not only that he did not benefit from Hunter\u2019s work but that he knew absolutely nothing about his son\u2019s influence peddling.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/biden-milano-03-1.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"U.S. Vice President Joe Biden (R) speaks as his son, Hunter Biden, looks on at the World Food Program USA's Annual McGovern-Dole Leadership Award Ceremony.\" class=\"wp-image-21737722\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/biden-milano-03-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/biden-milano-03-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/biden-milano-03-1.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>The biggest question the press should be asking is: Did Joe ever benefit financially from any of Hunter\u2019s dealings?<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Paul Morigi\/Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>And yet there is much circumstantial evidence available that leads us to believe Joe could be lying. For instance:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hunter accompanied his dad on an Air Force Two flight to China in 2013. What did the vice president believe his son was doing in China, if not going there on business? Hunter\u2019s associates also reportedly facilitated a meeting between Chinese officials and favored billionaires in Beijing and the vice president. Did Joe attend? If so, what did they talk about?<\/li>\n<li>According to The New York Times, Obama officials openly worried about Hunter\u2019s corrupt relationships. Did they never mention these concerns to the vice president, who claims he knew nothing about his son\u2019s corrupt business dealings?<\/li>\n<li>In 2018, Joe Biden bragged that as vice president he threatened Ukraine\u2019s then-President Petro Poroshenko with the withdrawal of US aid if he didn\u2019t fire state prosecutor Viktor Shokin. Did Biden know at the time that Shokin was investigating Burisma, the oil company that was paying his son more than $50,000 a month? Did he ever talk to his son about Shokin? Seems kind of important.<\/li>\n<li>The verified Hunter e-mails, first reported by The Post, contain correspondence from an executive with the Ukrainian oil company thanking Hunter for brokering a meeting between himself and Joe Biden, while he was still vice president. Did Biden take that meeting? If so, did they talk about Hunter\u2019s work? If not, what did he talk about with the executive?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And the biggest question the press should be asking the president is: Did Joe ever benefit financially from any of Hunter\u2019s dealings?<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/1236038374.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Associate Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and his wife and conservative activist Virginia Thomas arrive at the Heritage Foundation.\" class=\"wp-image-21737764\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/1236038374.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/1236038374.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1536 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/1236038374.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/03\/1236038374.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>It was revealed last week that Thomas\u2019 wife Ginni sent texts then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows in the aftermath of Election Day. <br \/><\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Drew Angerer\/Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The answer might very well still be \u201cNo.\u201d There is, after all, no hard evidence to say otherwise (and, considering the lack of urgency of the institutional press to look into these matters, we\u2019re probably never going to find out). <\/p>\n<p>However, on a number of occasions during the past five years, I can recall reading deeply reported profiles about the business dealings of the previous president\u2019s children. Journalists and pundits, quite understandably, wondered if the president himself had been aware of their dealings. They wondered if such relationships should be considered unethical.<\/p>\n<p>Then again, even if Joe Biden were completely unaware of his son\u2019s machinations, the Clarence Thomas Standard states that it doesn\u2019t matter. Joe must recuse himself from making any foreign-policy decisions for the sake of democracy. Otherwise, he should, as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez maintains, be impeached.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
