Possible ethical problems with Hunter Bidens 500000 paintings

The White House is claiming that it has found a way to avoid ethics problems with the issue of President Bidens scandal-ridden son Hunter selling his paintings for hundreds of thousands of dollars reports WorldNetDailycom

The situation literally lends itself to the possibility of influence buying as even a presidents family is not immune to the appeal of 500000 checks and Joe Biden already has been revealed to have been involved financially in some of Hunter Bidens deal manipulations

Art critics were gushing with enthusiasm over Hunter Bidens daubs earlier when it was revealed he was planning to sell them for up to 500000 But at least they admitted openly at the time the prices were high because of the painters name Biden

The Daily Mail reports that The idea is avoid a situation where he knew who was buying his work so he might be in the position to do them a favor although it still provides an opportunity for unidentified individuals to shovel large sums to the presidents son as he battles high living costs and legal fees

Walter Shaub the former director of the Office of Government Ethics in the Obama administration said So instead of disclosing who is paying outrageous sums for Hunter Bidens artwork so that we could monitor whether the purchasers are gaining access to government the White House tried to make sure we will never know who they are Thats very disappointing

Shaub concluded The idea is that even Hunter wont know but the White House has outsourced government ethics to a private art dealer Were supposed to trust a merchant in an industry thats fertile ground for money laundering as well as unknown buyers who could tell Hunter or White House officials No thanks
