Fox News legal analyst: Hunter Biden's work overseas 'looks bad, but none of it is criminal' | TheHill

Fox News senior judicial analyst Andrew Napolitano said early Tuesday that Hunter Biden's work overseas "looks bad, but none of it is criminal."

"All of it looks bad, but none of it is criminal. And you know this is the way ... the Chinese operate," Napolitano said on "Fox & Friends." "They find someone who they think will gain them a toehold in American society and they offer money to some entity that the person is involved with. They didn’t put a billion dollars in his pocket, they invested $1 billion in some entity that he was managing."
==========================================
You know Trump has got agents all over China & Ukraine looking for dirt on Hunter Biden. Trump is got so much illegal baggage on himself it is the only resort he has (besides the Doral which I once attended).

The schemes Biden was running don’t just give him a lump sum when he made his deal with both China and Ukraine. You can leave the board , and still collect money. The total depends on his investment percentage and when he cash’s out. This won’t be known till the investigation wraps up. Patience....
 
That simple fact is that the Jared/Eric/Ivanka/Donald Jr/Giuliani/Trump scandal is the scandal that Trump supporters want to believe that the Hunter scandal is.

I haven't heard anyone say that what he did was illegal. I HAVE heard that there may have been some benefit he received due to his father's position in the US government and that the relationship hay have presented some ethics issues.

That's hilarious, I'm sure you are holding Trump and his children to the same standards right? Trump, Trump's children and Trump's associates have all benefited from Trump being president. I guess you are going to ask Trump to resign huh? I mean unless you are a hypocrite.

Perhaps a more accurate headline would be: Never Trumper again disagrees with the president.

His kids have benefited from the family business. They had all kinds of benefit well before he became president and, frankly, with the level vitriol levied at him as president they probably have LOST some of that benefit.

It's called payment by proxy and it is not criminal in most cases. It is decidedly unethical.

Bingo. The woman who interviewed Hunter doesn't have the global and business savvy to understand that he was being too cute by half. "Not a penny" (kudos to Hunter for really punching that rehearsed line!) went to line his pockets. Well, yes, but...he's an equity holder in the company and a chunk of that money which enriched his company is waiting for him, when he chooses to take it.

The "resistance" delighted in Ivanka shutting down her clothing line. There was a whole campaign to boycott her company.

It strains credulity to believe that Ukraine and China were handing over large sums of money to Hunter Biden just because it was an honor to do so.

That's because Hunter Biden didn't do anything illegal, much as Trump wishes it to be. It isn't illegal to sit on a Board of Directors.
 
I wonder when Barr is going to investigate all of those patents the lovely Mrs. Kushner, a staffer in her father's White House, was granted by China in what seems to be very suspicious timing:

As Trump criticizes Hunter Biden, House Democrats should be investigating his daughter

Watch Rand Paul descend into incoherence at the suggestion that the trump kids also be investigated for how they profited from nepotism.

Aaron Rupar on Twitter: "RAND PAUL: If we're going to investigate Giuliani, then we should investigate Hunter Biden.

@SRuhle: Does that mean we should investigate how Kushner's family got foreign money? Ivanka's Chinese trademarks?

RP: If we want to go down the road of self-destruction, we can do that.… https://t.co/9B2KZQyT3S"
 
AHAHAHAHAH!!! Good for Stephanie!!!

I consider it criminal negligence (you know, in a political sense) that Republicans haven't had that brainstorming session yet:

"Okay, so we're going to go after Hunter Biden for profiting from his connection to his dad. We all good here?"
"Well, let's make sure that we're first covered on our end. You know, that there's NOBODY AT ALL in the Republican party whose kids are profiting because of nepotism."
"Good point. Can anybody think of anyone?"
"Nope."
"Me neither."
"Yep, definitely don't need to create any narratives in case anything like that comes up, which it absolutely won't."
"Right, but in case it does and we miss anything, what should we say?"
"I dunno, just start babbling incoherently."

Too cerebral for the Republicans. They lack any critical thinking skills.

And the Trump supporters don't even know what a trademark is.

Where are you people coming up with this stuff? Nobody I've heard of is saying that Hunter Biden or, for that matter, Joe Biden did anything illegal. What Trump wanted looked into was whether there were issues of corruption related to Burisma and, in particular, the firing of the prosecutor. If he's giving money to the Ukraine he wants to make sure that the new leadership is taking action with regard to the long history of corruption in that country.

Let me know when you get the part where a crime is mentioned.

You must have missed all the posts on here then. You are wrong. People here are saying both Bidens committed crimes.

We all know why the prosecutor was fired. Or at least those of us who were paying attention years ago. You can Google the history. The EU. The IMF. Even Republican Senators publicly calling for his removal. It had nothing to do with either Biden.

What Trump wanted to do was have them investigate his political rival and his rival's son and held money over their heads to do it. Save the bull**** that Trump was just trying to be a good helper to Ukraine for the next Trump Fan Club meeting. It will sell there. Not with the smart people.

Welcome to the world. Kids with famous parents getting breaks they wouldn't otherwise get isn't new. Do you think George W. Bush would have been president had his father not been president? Do you think the Bush daughters got opportunities because of their family? Do you think Paris Hilton's last name didn't open up opportunities? The Kardashians are rich and famous because the dad defended OJ. In Hollywood we have lots of it. Carrie Fisher got a big boost from mother Debbie Reynolds and father Eddie Fisher. David Carradine got a start because his father was John Carradine. Add to that the Barrymores, the Bridges, the Sheens and you see what I mean.

Bottom line: whatever the Ukrainians and Chinese might have expected, they didn't get undo influence.
 
It strains credulity to believe that Ukraine and China were handing over large sums of money to Hunter Biden just because it was an honor to do so.

They were trying to buy influence with his father who they saw as a good political gamble.

If he wasnt doing anything illegal, then there would have been no need to get the prosecutor fired just for his sons benefit, and the entire "we must investigate the Bidens in Ukraine" thing is BS.

Just another example of the leftward movement at Fox. Napolitano is drifting that way even faster than the network as a whole.
