The former ethics chief for Barack Obama spoke out on Wednesday to blast the Joe Biden White House for making a deal that made it so that Hunter Biden, and the American public at large, would never know who was buying his paintings.
Walter Shaub held nothing back while appearing on Law & Crime’s “Objections” podcast as he let the world know exactly what he thinks about what Biden and his son Hunter did.
“There is simply no way an artist who has never even juried into a community center art fair is going to suddenly show up in New York selling art for half a million a pop,” Shaub said. “Let’s talk about the magnitude of this…That’s $6.5 million going to the president’s son for being the president’s son, not for being an artist and I just think that’s absolutely appalling.”
While Shaub described Hunter as a “sympathetic character,” he added that “some of his problems are of his own making,” specifically citing his repeated attempts of building his career around “being Joe Biden’s son.”
“If he were a patriot—if he cared about this country—he would not want to tarnish his father’s reputation that way. Now we can’t fault him for not being a patriot. We can’t fault him for not caring enough about his father’s legacy to avoid this,” Shaub stated.
“That’s a personal failing and he doesn’t technically owe us anything because he’s a citizen and not a government official, but then the White House crossed the line and they got involved in this deal and the art seller was theoretically always planning to keep the names secret, but the White House intervened to ask him to keep the names secret,” he continued.
Shaub later talked about how disgusted he is over the White House “getting involved” with the art sale agreement, saying it’s the “public’s problem” now. He then torched Hunter for his “career choices” and said he has “clearly endeavored to make money off his dad being a politician.”
“The other prong of his history is that he’s not an angel,” Shaub said. “This is a guy who—and I’m not talking about his personal problems. I’m talking about his career choices. This is a guy who has clearly endeavored to make money off his dad being a politician rather than carving out his own path and the only thing you have to do to understand that is go find The New Yorker article written by Adam Entous who was very sympathetic of him in many ways, but also honestly reported things like him just accepting a gigantic diamond from a foreign businessman who had interests before the United States government.”

Just a way to launder more money to the Biden family like these elites do with their book sales but Hunter is too stupid to write a book. That’s why they won’t reveal the buyers of his art because most likely there won’t be any and they are just going to “pretend” he’s selling art.
