Let's Check In Again On Hunter And His Dad

There's been a steady stream of stories about Hunter's current situation that don't seem to have been sensational enough to reach the top of the news, but they continue to paint a puzzling picture. Still, according to today's Washington Examiner:

Hunter Biden recorded himself boasting that his father will adopt political positions at his command, footage obtained from a copy of his abandoned laptop shows.

"He'll talk about anything that I want him to, that he believes in," Biden said in reference to his father, Joe Biden, in the Dec. 3, 2018, recording. "If I say it's important to me, then he will work a way in which to make it a part of his platform. My dad respects me more than he respects anyone in the world, and I know that to be certain, so it’s not going to be about whether it affects his politics.”

Shrink? Therapy? Rehab? Hunter laughs!

"All those fears you think that I have of people not liking me or that I don’t love myself … I don't fear that. You know why I don't fear that? Because the man I most admire in the world, that god to me, thinks I'm a god," Hunter Biden added in the 77-minute recording, which was taped about five months before Joe Biden launched his successful 2020 presidential campaign in late April 2019. "And my brother did, too. And the three of us, it was literally — I had the support to know I can do anything."

In the recording, Hunter Biden bragged to his friend, British artist Phillipa Horan, that he was "better than anybody you know" as the pair discussed matters ranging from Joe Biden's presidential aspirations, Hunter Biden's struggles with addiction, an art project the two were working on together, and philosophical musings on how to live a fulfilling life.

“Everyone thinks it, talks about how — ‘How can you be as good as your dad?’ I'm better than my dad," Hunter Biden said. “You know why I’m better than my dad? Because my dad tells me I’m better than him, since I was 2 years old."

The conversation was taped at a house in Plum Island, Massachusetts, amid the throes of Hunter Biden's addiction to crack cocaine.

"Have you ever thought about this: Maybe this is the greatest thing that f****** ever happened to me," Hunter Biden mused to Horan about his addiction to the Schedule II narcotic. "Maybe this is literally the continuation and the continuum of what is going to be the thing that makes me the person that my father believes I am."

Well, there are few things that will make you think you're a god more than cocaine, and it looks like Hunter is showing that effect here, but he makes other references to what looks like a very strange Biden family dynamic. This may offer some perspective on stories about how Hunter's been faring since the Big Guy has been in the White House. For instance, in the New York Post last month:

A big-shot Hollywood lawyer reportedly paid off Hunter Biden’s delinquent taxes — which a source told The Post amounted to more than $2 million — as President Biden’s notoriously troubled son awaits the results of a Delaware grand jury’s investigation into his personal finances.

Kevin Morris, an entertainment attorney and novelist who earned a fortune representing the co-creators of “South Park” and won a Tony Award as the co-producer of “The Book of Mormon,” footed Hunter Biden’s overdue taxes totaling over $2 million — more than twice what was previously reported, a source familiar with conversations between the two told The Post.

Morris, whom Hunter Biden’s friends call his latest “sugar brother,” has also been funding the 52-year-old’s lifestyle in Los Angeles — including his rent and living expenses, the source said.

This, of course, would be the $20,000 per month rental in Malibu that's part of a compound in which the Secret Service also maintains an adjoining house, likely to keep Hunter on a very short leash. The services Morris bankrolls provide an additional benefit, according to the Post story:

His up-to-date tax bill could make it more difficult for prosecutors to convict Hunter Biden and hinder their ability to win a lengthy sentence if he was convicted, the New York Times reported.

Tax prosecutors would typically argue that paying an overdue balance wouldn’t affect a fraud case because the evasion still occurred. However, a judge and jury may be more sympathetic toward someone who eventually paid their bill.

So Hollywood big shot Morris seems to have gifted Hunter $2 million to pay his delinquent taxes while also funding his current lifestyle -- I would imagine $20,000 a month is just the tip of the iceberg. Mrs Hunter's own jet-setting humanitarian ventures might well figure into this; the woman is otherwise penniless. But it doesn't stop there. Elsewhere in the New York Post,

Kevin Morris, the generous Los Angeles entertainment lawyer who loaned Hunter more than $2 million to pay off his tax debts, has launched a sensational public-relations campaign to discredit the laptop and divert attention from its damning revelations of the Biden family’s international influence-peddling scheme.

Morris, 58, has assembled a team of 30 lawyers and investigators to help his friend Hunter, 52, “blunt the impact” of the Delaware probe, according to CBS News.

My goodness, how much does a "team of 30 lawyers" cost? This must be far more than a measly $2 million loan or $20,000 a month rent.

We must assume the Big Guy is aware of all this and must be appropriately grateful. So far, nobody seems to be paying much attention. but it seems to be costing one heck of a lot to keep Hunter out of the news. What does Keven Morris want for all these "free" services? Who's behind him, for that matter? Even a Hollywood lawyer can't be that rich. Nobody hires 30 other lawyers without a very, very good reason.

I smell hinky here. Big time hinky.
