nothing in your cite refutes the FACT that Hunter was given the 83K/month board job because Joe was VP and was assigned to Ukrainian relations.
Why the furk do you think they put him on the board? It was influence buying plain and simple, and then daddy Joe got the prosecutor fired in exchange for the release of a billion in foreign aid to Ukraine, he bragged about it on national TV. Everyone has seen the clip "if you want the money you must fire the guy, and son of a *****, he was fired"
geez, woman. are you really as dumb as you seem?
So? There's
nothing illegal about that now is there? Do you really want to start in on politician's children getting positions above their paygrade? Really?
sure, lets do it, starting with Chelsea Clinton, Hunter Biden, the kids of Pelosi and Romney. Sure, bring it. Trump's kids are actually working in his or their businesses, not some fake board job or made up government position.
Sure, let’s get into the Trump kids and their Top Secret Security clearances.
Let’s get into Jared Kushner and his international conflicts of interest
Bring it on

Cashing In On The White House Connection: It's Not Just Hunter Biden
But Trump has relatives making business deals too. Trump has never really separated himself from his family's business, the Trump Organization, which is run by his sons, Eric and Donald Jr., and the family has frequently been accused of seeking to profit off the presidency.
The Trumps' business dealings are even more questionable, Zelizer says, because Trump's daughter Ivanka and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, actually work in the White House.
"Billy Carter was not in the White House. He was not making decisions with the president, and that was the case with Neil Bush, too. So what we're talking about now is fundamentally different," Zelizer says.
Trump the corruption fighter? Start with his business, family, himself
Let’s begin with Trump’s grown sons, the ones he didn’t want working in the White House.
“
I wish my name was Hunter Biden," Donald Trump Jr. recently said. "I could go abroad, make millions off of my father's presidency. I would be a really rich guy.”
Don Jr. may not be aware of this, or of anything that requires self-awareness, but the company he allegedly runs is
still owned by his father,
who refused to clearly divest from it, in violation of 19 promises to do so.
The Trump Organization has been implicated in
money laundering,
tax scams and the rampant hiring of
undocumented workers.
You could make the case that a president's sons should not even get near a “
corrupt company,” as Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., did during impeachment hearings last week.
Of course, Stefanik was talking about Hunter Biden’s work on the board of the Ukrainian company Burisma — not Don Jr. and Eric Trump’s employment at a company whose two biggest growth areas are
generating conflicts of interest and using their dad’s influence to fuel a
fundraising pyramid scheme. But boys in their mid 30s and early 40s will be boys.
Trump criticizes the Bidens, but his own family’s business raises questions
Nearly three years into Trump’s tenure, the nonprofit Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics (CREW) has documented more than 2,000 instances that it considers conflicts of interest between his business interests and his duty to the country as president. The conflicts come, in part, because Trump has retained ownership of his international business operation, the Trump Organization, despite calls demanding he divest to avoid conflicts of interest.
“Americans should never be put in that position where there is any question of whether these politicians are acting in the interest of the American people who they are serving,” said Robert Maguire, research director at CREW, which is currently party to
a number of lawsuits against the Trump administration, including two involving potential conflicts of interest.[...]
Public pressure led Trump to promise he would not make any new business deals while in office. But reports have shown Trump is not keeping that pledge.
In December, a London-based anti-corruption group found that that Trump Organization is pursuing a real estate project in the Dominican Republic.
In 2017, Trump’s real estate company
sold a $16 million Manhattan penthouse to the owner of a consultancy company that helps U.S. companies establish a presence in China. In June, it was reported the Trump Organization
sold a $13.5 million Beverly Hills mansion to Hillcrest Asia Ltd, a corporate entity connected to an Indonesian businessman.
Earlier this year, an Indonesian theme park that includes a Trump hotel and condos had to
relinquish Chinese financial backing after critics warned that the deal could influence Trump’s handling of the U.S.-China trade war.
