https://www.foxnews.com/politics/hunter-bidens-friend-tell-congress-then-vp-joe-joined-dozens-sons-business-meetings-phone-reportDevon Archer will testify to congress on Thursday that Joe Biden was on up to ~2 dozen telephone calls with the foreign bribery ring that was paying the Bidens, which Joe Biden has repeatedly insisted he knew nothing about and never had any contact with. That's on top of his testimony that Joe Biden personally met with the bribers. The basic gist of it is that Biden's direct involvement was always conspicuous dropping in to make his presence known / lend his status to it, without discussing bribes directly. Joe would pop in, say some pleasantries, chip in a few words, do little more than say hi.

in Joe Biden's corvette, at their home, with two prostitutes. The same corvette that Joe Biden infamously said was next to the pile of classified documents he left in his home. So that doubly acts as evidence Hunter Biden indeed was with his father that day, and that he had access to the location of unsecured classified documents.

the White House said that Hunter Biden's team had a process for carefully vetting buyers, and that their identities were known only to the gallery, and not to Hunter Biden himself. The messaging seemed to suggest that Hunter Biden's art patrons came from a rarified universe of collectors who had nothing to do with the hurly burly of politics.
Neither of those things has turned out to be the case. Hunter Biden did in fact learn the identity of two buyers, according to three people directly familiar with Hunter Biden's own account of his art career. And one of those buyers is indeed someone who got a favor from the Biden White House. The timing of their purchase, however, is unknown.
That buyer, Insider can reveal, is Elizabeth Hirsh Naftali, a Los Angeles real estate investor and philanthropist. Hirsh Naftali is influential in California Democratic circles and is a significant Democratic donor
.....
In July 2022, eight months after Hunter Biden's first art opening, Joe Biden announced Hirsh Naftali's appointment to the Commission for the Preservation of America's Heritage Abroad.
See the issue with the teapot dome scandal is that Albert Bacon Fall didn't have cronies controlling the entire press apparatus of the country and a political party in such lockstep that they would simply ride over the scandal and ignore it at every turn, no matter how damning it became. Trying to hush up scandals is such a pathetic old fashioned way of doing things, when you can simply trample through them like they aren't there
