Still no shame in Hunter Biden\u2019s game<\/a><\/h1>\n
\n
By James Bovard<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

When a political shyster has to rely on art critics for character references, you know things are looking grim. The only thing shakier is to count on your daddy\u2019s Justice Department to prove your purity.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A New York art gallery is featuring Hunter Biden\u2019s artwork in a show<\/a> opening Friday night. This is the latest triumph on the president\u2019s son\u2019s Redemption Tour.<\/p>\n

Hunter Biden is totally corrupt, sporadically depraved, and utterly untrustworthy. His \u201cLaptop from Hell<\/a>\u201d exposed enough dirt to spur a deluge of federal charges. But instead of doing time, Hunter is being feted as if he were the resurrection of Vincent Van Gogh.<\/p>\n

The website for the Georges Berges Gallery boasts that Hunter<\/a> is \u201cbringing innumerable experiences to bear\u201d on his art.<\/p>\n

As for ethical concerns of buyers who might be seeking influence with the Biden White House? Don\u2019t worry, the lawyers say the buyers will be \u201canonymous,\u201d so no problem.<\/p>\n

Except, two years ago, the Treasury Department formally warned that \u201cthe market for high-value artworks make it attractive to those engaged in illicit financial activity, including sanctions evasion.\u201d But there are no ethical problems with Hunter\u2019s show because the gallery owner reportedly \u201cagreed to reject any offer that he sensed to be suspicious or that was above asking price,\u201d the Washington Post reported.<\/p>\n

Former federal ethics chief Walter Shaub observed that \u201cwe have no way of monitoring whether people are buying access to the White House. What these people are paying for is Hunter Biden\u2019s last name.\u201d<\/p>\n

For his first art show last year, Hunter, a former crack cocaine addict, showcased pieces created \u201cby blowing ink on Japanese Yupo paper through a metal straw.\u201d An art critic at New York magazine characterized Hunter\u2019s work as \u201cgeneric post zombie formalism illustration.\u201d Another critic scoffed that Hunter\u2019s work was \u201csomewhere between a screen saver and if you just Googled \u2018midcentury abstraction\u2019 and mashed up whatever came up.\u201d<\/p>\n

But some art critics have praised Hunter\u2019s work \u2014 confirming John Lennon\u2019s adage that \u201cAvant Garde is French for bullshit<\/strong>.\u201d<\/p>\n

But will Hunter remain free long enough to fulfill his artistic potential? The Washington Post reported on Oct. 6<\/a> that federal lawyers concluded there was sufficient evidence for criminal charges of gun laws and tax laws. A grand jury has met in Delaware and may resume in the coming weeks. Law professor Jonathan Turley warned that the Justice Department could offer Hunter a plea deal that could impede investigations by congressional Republicans of other crimes he committed.<\/p>\n

Have Justice Department lawyers deposed Hunter\u2019s father about his knowledge or role in his son\u2019s alleged crimes? If they haven\u2019t talked to \u201cthe Big Guy,\u201d<\/a> is this all a charade?<\/p>\n

As federal prosecutors may be closing in, Joe Biden has responded with endless photo ops with Hunter at his side. Is Uncle Joe taunting the Justice Department? There\u2019s no evidence that Attorney General Merrick Garland has the same moral fiber as Elliot Richardson, who resigned in 1973 when he refused to participate in Nixon\u2019s Watergate coverup.<\/p>\n

As long as Hunter hasn\u2019t been indicted, Team Biden and their media allies can claim that he is innocent and vilify all his critics as extremists and maybe election deniers, too.<\/strong> So pop the champagne, come to the art show, and plop down thousands of dollars for zombie formalism (anonymously). Let the good times roll!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
