Hunter incriminated himself and was in no position to do any of the professional employment and so-called degrees you showed. No person would work long-term looking like he did and spending what he did on drugs with the ladies on the side. He was/is a dope addict. That is a career jo in itself. It is easy to see him getting easy money for little time from what he is accused of.
HB fell into addiction in 2016
At the age of 45
PRIOR to that he had many roles outside government and one inside.
Here's the timeline.
How about you point to the part where President Biden committed a high crime or even a misdemeanor.

Return to menu
2001-2008: Hunter co-founds the lobbying firm of Oldaker, Biden & Belair. In 2006, he purchases a hedge fund called Paradigm Global Advisors with his uncle James Biden. He quits lobbying (he had nine clients, including biotechnology companies and colleges seeking congressional earmarks) during the 2008 presidential campaign after his father is named Barack Obama’s running mate. Records
show he had earned more than $2.8 million in fees.
On board of Amtrak
2006-2009: Hunter is officially nominated by president George W. Bush, but his main patron is Sen. Thomas R. Carper (D-Del.). Hunter’s qualifications are slim compared to another nominee’s, a career transportation official who fills a Republican slot on the board. Carper, in nominating Hunter, says his main experience is being a frequent passenger: “For our purposes and for the purpose of this nomination, Hunter Biden has spent a lot of time on Amtrak trains. Like his father, like our congressman, Mike Castle, and myself, Hunter Biden has lived in Delaware while using Amtrak to commute to his job as we commute to our job in Washington almost every day of the week,” Carper said,
according to a transcript of the hearing. Hunter resigns his seat after his father is elected vice president.
Co-founds Rosemont Seneca Partners
2009: Five months after his father becomes vice president, Hunter co-founds an investment management firm, Rosemont Seneca Partners LLC, with Devon Archer and Christopher Heinz, a stepson of Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.) and an heir to the food-company fortune. The firm invests in a variety of emerging companies,
such as Metabiota, which hoped to sell insurance to protect businesses against a global pandemic. Heinz is not interested in deals that attract public scrutiny and eventually steps back. Archer
tells congressional investigators in 2023 that Hunter sold the illusion of access to his father but that his father was not involved in business deals or even business discussions.
Does business in China
2013: Hunter, Archer and Jim Bulger, who brings expertise in investing in China, join with Chinese investors to create an investment fund. In December, then-Vice President Biden travels to Beijing on official business, accompanied by Hunter.

joins the board of a just-formed investment advisory firm known as BHR (Bohai, Harvest and Rosemont).

according to a statement by his father.
CEFC China Energy deal
2017: Hunter engages in
a short-lived but lucrative venture with CEFC China Energy that brings nearly $5 million to accounts linked to him. A 2017 email describes possible ownership stakes for five venture partners, including Hunter Biden and his uncle James Biden, with the cryptic notation: “10 held by H for the big guy?” One of the email recipients, Anthony Bobulinski, has said that the “big guy” referred to Joe Biden — who is no longer vice president — and that “H” refers to Hunter. But three days after the email is sent, a draft agreement setting up the venture is circulated. It shows each partner would receive 20 percent, including James Biden. No mention is made of Joe Biden.
Fails to file his 2016 income tax statement
Oct. 17, 2017: Even though he had received an extension to file his taxes, Hunter fails to file his 2016 tax return — a lapse that was not discovered until 2020,
according to a legal document. He had income of nearly $1.6 million and had paid $477,000 in taxes, but he still owed about $46,000.
Fails to pay taxes on his 2017 income
April 17, 2018: Hunter fails to pay his 2017 tax liability even though he had sufficient funds at the time,

Denies being father of Arkansas baby
August 2018: A woman in Arkansas, Lunden Roberts, gives birth to a daughter, Navy, who she says is the result of a relationship with Hunter. He denies this at first, but his paternity is confirmed in 2019, and in 2023 President Biden
acknowledges Navy is one of his grandchildren.
Buys a gun
Oct. 12, 2018: Hunter buys a .38-caliber Colt Cobra revolver. On
the background check form, he checks a box that indicates he is not addicted to drugs. About two weeks after the purchase of the gun, Biden’s then-girlfriend, Hallie, throws the weapon into a trash can behind a grocery store across the street from a high school,
according to the police report. The gun goes missing but is later recovered.
Joe Biden announces run for president
April 25, 2019: Saying he is moved to run because of Donald Trump’s failure to denounce a white-supremacist, neo-Nazi rally in Charlottesville, the former vice president

Laptop excerpts published
Oct. 14, 2020: The New York Post
publishes excerpts from Hunter Biden’s laptop, highlighting the 2015 dinner that Burisma executive Pozharskyi attended. “The blockbuster correspondence — which flies in the face of Joe Biden’s claim that he’s ‘never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings’ — is contained in a massive trove of data recovered from a laptop computer,” the newspaper says. Twitter,
operating under its hacked-material protocol developed after the 2016 election,
blocks users for 24 hours from sharing the New York Post story — a decision executives later said was a mistake. Five days later, Politico publishes
an article regarding a letter signed by more than 50 former senior intelligence officials, with the headline: “Hunter Biden story is Russian disinfo, dozens of former intel officials say.” Joe Biden, in interviews and debates, seizes on the story, saying it shows that the laptop story was a “Russian plan,” “a bunch of garbage,” “disinformation from the Russians” and “a smear campaign.” The letter artfully
did not say any of those things; neither did it say what the headline claimed.

Hunter publishes memoir
April 6, 2021: “
Beautiful Things” is published, but
sales are poor. Hunter earns $140,625 as an advance payment before publication,
a legal document says. In
a review, The Washington Post calls it “a memoir at once harrowing, relentless and a determined exercise in trying to seize his own narrative from the clutches of the Republicans and the press.”
Third parties settle tax debts, buy paintings
October 2021: Kevin Morris, a lawyer and friend of Hunter’s,
lends and/or gives him money to pay back taxes. (A legal document
says that an unnamed third-party on Oct. 18 paid off more than $2.1 million in Hunter’s tax liabilities — $45,661 for 2016, $955,800 for 2017, $956,632 for 2018 and $197,372 for 2019.) Meanwhile, on Oct. 21, a
New York gallery offers for sale 15 paintings by Hunter, asking as much as $500,000 each. Business Insider
later reveals that the art earned $1.3 million, with a single buyer purchasing $875,000 worth of art. One buyer is identified as Elizabeth Hirsh Naftali, a Los Angeles real estate investor and major Democratic donor. Morris is also identified as a painting buyer
by Artnet.

Hunter reaches deal with prosecutors
June 20, 2023: Hunter

Grassley and Comer release document that alleges bribery
July 20, 2023: Grassley and Comer
release the 2020 FBI document that claims, without providing evidence, that Burisma chief executive Mykola Zlochevsky said he paid Joe and Hunter Biden each $5 million for the then-vice president to “deal with Shokin.” The Shokin reference
— suggesting Burisma wanted him fired
— raises an immediate red flag about the accuracy of the allegation, as Shokin, Ukraine’s then-prosecutor general, was actually in Burisma’s camp, having not taken action against corruption to the frustration of the international community.
Plea deal falls apart

56-page indictment alleges that Hunter failed to pay at least $1.4 million in federal taxes from 2016 through 2019, even as he earned more than $7 million in gross income in that period. Hunter also received $1.2 million from a “personal friend” from January through October of 2020, the indictment says. But, the indictment alleges, Hunter “spent millions of dollars on an extravagant lifestyle rather than paying his tax bills”; the indictment alleges that his spending included drugs, escorts and girlfriends, exotic cars, adult entertainment and high-end clothing. The indictment further charges that Hunter claimed many personal expenses, including his daughter’s law school tuition, as business expenses for tax purposes.
