    Jeez man, the guy ran a business. Obama didn’t, Clinton didn’t, the other Clinton didn’t and Biden didn’t, yet people around the world threw money at them, and for what?

    Selling art work is certainly a business.

    Yes it is. How many art dealers have been invited to the White House and then later told that WH had and agreement with them that they didn’t know about?

    The art dealer was invited to Hunter's daughter at a wedding that took place at the White House. Should Biden not talk to guests at a wedding?

    People pay to meet and hear from powerful people. Speechless, books, or just access.

    Read the dealer's testimony again and tell me it you think it's normal for a guy to call someone he doesn't know to congratulate him on something his daughter did.

    Sure. You meet someone at a wedding then follow-up on something interesting that was relayed at the wedding. Does the art dealer allege Joe did anything wrong?

    The right is starting to make a big deal about every single innocuous thing. Joe calls Hunter during a business meeting to ask about the weather. Corruption. Joe calls art dealer to congratulate his daughter finishing camp. Immoral.

    I also heard that Joe lied about farting in the elevator one day. We gotta throw that old gas bag in jail immediately!

    If you make an impression on him. Calling someone you meet isn't nefarious...at least it didn't used to be.

    When you are so sure you are so completely and totally above the law, you act like it. And sadly, you are.
    10ga gauge short barrel auto mag, paint the barrel end white so they can see the hole. Small buck shot - not 00 unless you have no neighbors.
    Any pistol .380 on up. But don't get lazy, make her shoot 200, 300 rounds.

    Because Biden is facing impeachment for unproven claims he might have done some of the same stuff trump admits to doing.

    What was the lie?

    Please quote Joe or an official WH statement, and show the lie.

    Because all I see now is
    - the art dealer met and spoke with Joe Biden while he was pitching to sell Hunter’s art
    - there is an ethics / confidentiality agreement in place
    - he wasn’t aware that the ethics / confidentiality agreement originated from the WH
    - Hunter made a request - at some unspecified time - to know the names of buyers. No indication if that was before Joe became president or if the names were released.

    I really don’t see a lie from the WH. Just RW spin.

    While at the same time you have no problem with Trump receiving millions directly from the Chinese government during his presidency.

    Seems like Hunter knew the identity of the buyers by sheer luck.
