Joe and Hunter have been running this side hustle for decades. It started off for peanuts and as Joe got more prominent the paydays got bigger. Im sure all the politicians pull it, look at Clintons, Pelosi, Kerry and Mittens. By the time 2012 rolled around and they knew they had 4 more years they as big as they possibly could. The clock was ticking, suddenly they moved from AAA money to major league. They knew this was Joe's last stint in public office so they moved as fast possible and got sloppy. The establishment and media was more than happy to cover their footsteps. Honestly, once Obama left office everyone was eager to forget Biden. The target was so far off his back he got more brazen and had no problem gloating (see Ukrainian prosecutor), even then the media gave him a pass and told us despite his clarity thats not what he meant.
Now the cracks are exposed and the entire Biden house of cards is about to be crumbling down. We need to do our job to weaponize this stuff, get it out to the normies, do your part.
