You know those painfully uncomfortable times when you're exposed to another family's angry, simmering, unresolved arguments or tensions, and you don't really know what to do or say so you just sort of sit there and hope it all blows over?
Yeah this is like that:
Hunter Biden's access to lucrative financial opportunities also came with expectations โ including kicking back as much as 50% of his earnings to his dad, text messages on his old laptop show.
"I hope you all can do what I did and pay for everything for this entire family for 30 years," Hunter Biden groused to daughter Naomi in January 2019. "It's really hard. But don't worry, unlike pop, I won't make you give me half your salary." Pop is Joe Biden.
Oh that is just really really awkward.
Just to be clear, "paying for everything" does not seem to have been a particularly cheap endeavor:
There were $1,239 in repairs to an air conditioner at "mom-mom's cottage," and another $1,475 to a painter for "back wall and columns at the lake house." There was also another $2,600 for fixing up a "stone retaining wall at the lake" and $475 "for shutters."
Oh, it also calls into question how much Joe Biden knows about his son's shady-and-illegal business dealings, given that these emails show a very close link between the two on everything from mortgage payments to tax returns to prostitutes. Their finance guy even emailed Hunter once to say "Your Dad... could use some positive news about his future earnings potential."
Father and son's linked finances โ first reported by The Post last July โ went well beyond household upkeep and sometimes spilled over into Hunter Biden's debauched personal life.
In May 2018 during a drug and alcohol binge in Los Angeles, Hunter Biden accidentally transferred around $25,000 to an escort named "Gulnora." He was immediately visited by the Secret Service โ suggesting that the money came from a joint account with his father.
Hunter received a series of text messages from a former agent who repeatedly urged him to come out of his hotel room and reminded him "this is linked to Celtic's account." "Celtic" was Joe Biden's Secret Service code name when he was vice president.
SEEMS KINDA SUS TO ME. MAYBE WE SHOULD HAVE THAT INVESTIGATED!
