More Biden family corruption: Taking advantage of COVID19 to enrich the Bidens

Joe's son-in-law, Dr. Howard Krein, is part of a company that's investing in companies whose products address the China virus.

He's also a daily briefer who tells Joe Biden about health policy related to the China virus.

So he's investing in companies and then telling Joe what policies should be implemented.

Clearly no problem or conflict of interest there...not.

Essentially Joe's getting his advice on which approaches to use to address the pandemic from a relative who stands to make a lot of money if the solutions he recommends to Joe are accepted.

But like the $3.5M Hunter Biden got from a Russian oligarch you won't hear any concern about this from the #FakeNewsMedia.

I'm confused. Biden has no power at the moment. What exactly is the proposed mechanism of action of the corruption here? Something bad could happen in the future if Biden funneled money to those firms but Biden doesn't actually control policy right now and nothing he is advising is particularly helpful to anyone one firm.

Krein isn't even an official member of the Biden team. Meanwhile Kushner has an official position and has similar conflicts through his venture capital firm.

What are you saying Biden did wrong? I would be very surprised if Krein were included in a Biden administration. Trump is the nepotistic one.

Wow you are amazingly clueless.

Biden is running for President and he's saying what our COVID19 policy should be. If he wins his son in law clearly setting up to make money.

Not sure what conflicts you're citing for Kushner. Care to cite them?

Biden through his corrupt practices has enriched his family for years so the fact that he doesn't actually hire them is meaningless; of course he did pull strings to get Hunter into the military where he lasted for 1 month before being tossed out for using cocaine.

None of what you describe in this sentence suggests any improper action on Biden's part. Maybe explain what the actual complaint is? Is Krein aware of non-public information? Has Biden funnelled government money to Krein's customers/businesses? Is Krein advising Biden to do such things?

There are lots of issues with Kushner and he is actually in power which actually heightens these concerns.

All of these are more suspect than the link you provided. And this is of course ignoring Trump's unwillingness to divest himself or put his assets in a blind trust.
