I considered responding because there's basically nothing accurate about that tweet on any level but doubted the value of it at this point.
I do think Hunter has a certain element of sleaze to him and that's sticking, too - nobody is branding him as squeaky clean or anything. He clearly took advantage of what is a sadly established operating practice in a lot of the world which is to "hire" a relative of a powerful/famous individual to protect from shakedowns from other areas of the... economy?
From all accounts, Joe comes across in a rather positive light here - and I'm definitely no Biden fan at this point. I'm not sure I see what "innocent" has to do with anything here. Innocent of what? "Wrongdoing"? That needs some clarifying, honestly. If a person wants to get into the dynamics of Eastern European business practices, I'm all for it. It's a mess and a major reason why even Russia has struggled to transition towards European economic models. I'd love it if someone were to come up with solutions. If it's not actually about solutions and just a finger-pointing game to allow someone in particular to have more access to the exploit such practices, then I'm less for it. Just quoting the tweet suggests it's much more the latter, intentional or not.
