The rules never, ever, ever apply to Hunter Biden.

Not when it comes to drug possession, not when it comes to gun laws, and not when it comes to campaign promises.

If you will recall, after the stories of how Hunter basically traveled the globe, cashing in on his last name (which he essentially admitted), the Biden campaign eventually had to have Hunter make a statement that he would not be on any foreign business boards if his father became president.

Well, the Daily Caller also remembers. In January, within days of Joe Biden’s inauguration, they reported that Hunter still had yet to divest from the Chinese investment company from whose board he had resigned. And this is not just some little Chinese start-up that Hunter had a stake in.

Both the Daily Mail and Fox News reported in late December that Hunter Biden was in the process of offloading his stake in BHR. Both outlets cited an unnamed source with Hunter Biden and his business dealings.”

But Hunter Biden continues to hold his equity stake in BHR through his company, Skaneateles LLC, as of Wednesday, according to Qixinbao and Baidu, two independent services that provide business records on Chinese corporations based on China’s National Credit Information Publicity System.”

Hunter Biden is the sole beneficial owner of Skaneateles LLC, according to Washington D.C. corporate records.”

BHR manages the equivalent of $2.1 billion in assets and is co-owned by the Chinese state-controlled Bank of China.”

The Daily Caller also remembers what Joe Biden promised voters during the campaign.

“No one in my family will have an office in the White House, will sit in on meetings as if they are a cabinet member, will, in fact, have any business relationship with anyone that relates to a foreign corporation or a foreign country,” Joe Biden told reporters in Iowa. “Period. Period. End of story.”

Again, this is not just some small investment. Hunter Biden has a 10% equity stake in a company that manages $2.1 billion. This is not small potatoes, and even if he isn’t on the board, the profits are directly tied to the Chinese government.

Fast-forward one hundred days into the Biden presidency. Hunter is getting to guest lecture at Tulane University this fall. (I’m certain he’s not doing this for free.) He’s being treated with kid gloves by the media, even as his dad mentions his dead brother TWICE during his joint address to Congress this last Wednesday (once when referring to “ending cancer,” and once when talking about pulling troops out of Afghanistan).

And when the Daily Caller went back to check on the occasion of the Biden administration’s first hundred days, guess who still has a stake he hasn’t yet divested in BHR Partners in China? But it’s okay, said Jen Psaki back in February, because Hunter is a PRIVATE citizen so whatever he does is fine and not the White House’s problem.

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said in early February that Hunter Biden was in the process of divesting his ownership stake in the equity firm.”

“He has been working to unwind his investment but I would certainly point you — he’s a private citizen — I would point you to him or his lawyers on the outside,” Psaki said.”

Yeah, that’s one question that Psaki does NOT want to “circle back” on. Also, the plea that Hunter is a “private citizen” falls hollow when you consider the delicate treatment he has gotten from the media and in the legal world, all because of Joe. The reason that the Daily Caller is following up is because Joe Biden, in his attempt to save his campaign, protect Hunter, and slime the Trumps all at the same time, made his campaign pledge. At the time, the press gave Joe all the cover necessary, because Orange Man Bad, and Orange Man’s Kids Bad. Now that Joe is president, any campaign promises regarding Hunter are null and void as far as the media is concerned. You think the media would have let this go if Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner had an equity stake in BHR Partners?

But poor, sad, Hunter Biden, who is treated like a broken child at the age of 51, can’t possibly be expected to give up his investment in BHR Partners. I mean, what would he do with his life to make money (he has child support payments, after all)? His book isn’t selling, he will supposedly have an art gallery show at some point, and what is left for him except to keep doing what he has always done – skate by on his last name, and hope the checks keep coming in?
