    How many times were we told the Bidens wouldn't know the names of the people who purchased Hunter's artwork? Many. Not only was that a complete and total lie, it even surprised the art dealer when he heard the WH say it. The Bidens and his handlers didn't even think to call the dealer and tell him to go along with the lie.

    Since we now have Biden & Co caught in a huge and intentional lie, the next question would be why would they lie and what are they hiding?

    The article lists some of the buyers of the artwork.

    So do rightists believe in unconfirmed sources again? I thought they said unconfirmed sources were fake news?

    Are you unaware of what art dealers do? They buy paintings and other works from people either in need of the money (which Hunter was), or from estate sales. They then sell those paintings for a profit. It's how they make a living. They don't, as a rule, inform the seller of the identities of the buyers.

    Geebus but you Biden haters get all twisted into pretzels over nothing. Get a grip, will ya?

    The names of some of the buyers are shown in the article. So "likely" seems to be absolutely.

    Why did Biden & Co lie about the firewall between the Bidens and the buyers?

    This is just a guess, but since the dealer went to the WH and spoke with Biden, the big guy may have written personal notes to be attached to each of the paintings to increase their value. Is that ethical? I have no idea.

    Unless the notes divulged troop movements, I don’t see the issue.

    If he lied, and so far it’s not proven, it was probably to help him win. Why else do politicians lie?

    Who told Psaki to tell the world there was a secrecy deal between the WH and the dealer?

    Well none promise to be secretive lol
    And besides, most transparent is a low bar. Visitor logs are public, so it’s alredy more transparent than the guy he beat.

    The left continues to pretend "nothing to see here!" as their own commit crimes. Yet they focus on non existent crimes form Trump.

    It's not the norm, at least according to the dealer.

    You are going to have comparisons between the two presumptive nominees. If you don’t like it… then…

    If it’s true Joe used leverage to help sell his son’s paintings then I am against that. His competitor however did far worse going as far to hire his own children and steer foreign nationals and events to his properties.

    So even if true, your team doesn’t really have room to act like this is an issue. At least not without exposing some massive cognitive dissonant narratives.
