No one knows. Hunter knew nothing about the international natural gas business or Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">That stroke of good luck for the younger Biden in 2015 just happened to occur at the very same time VP Papa Joe was serving as the Obama Administration\u2019s bag-man-in-chief for U.S. foreign aid to Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Even luckier, when the gas company was about to be looked into for corruption by the Ukrainian prosecutor, Papa Joe came to Hunter\u2019s rescue.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">As he boasted in a video that the New York Times apparently has not yet seen, Papa Joe told the Ukraine government he\u2019d withhold $6 billion in U.S. aid unless the prosecutor was fired in six hours, which he was.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The New York Times and its fellow liberal fake journalists aren\u2019t very curious about the details of the Biden Family\u2019s blatant conflicts of interest.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Impeaching Trump is all that matters to them and the Democrats.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The president\u2019s phone call won\u2019t hurt him politically and he\u2019ll never be impeached by the Senate, but the publicity about the Bidens\u2019 slippery doings in Ukraine will destroy the Biden Family.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Papa Joe is an old coot who was never going to win the nomination anyway.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">It\u2019s Hunter I feel sorry for. He\u2019s young. Now everyone in the media is talking about his personal issues and his past drug problems. He may never work again.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Hunter should have known better to take that high-paying Ukrainian \u201cjob.\u201d He was as unqualified as I am.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">It wasn\u2019t a crime to take it, but he knew he was being used by the Ukrainian gas company to get access to his dad. It\u2019s not brain surgery.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">As the son of a famous politician, I know what Hunter has had to deal with. Those kind of fat jobs and sweet business deals are offered to the families of big-time politicians all the time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">I was offered stuff many times in the 1980s. I\u2019d always call the White House lawyer and ask him what he thought.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">He\u2019d always say, \u201cYour gut will always tell whether it\u2019s wrong or OK. But if you have a problem, call me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">To this day I get called to go out on Republican campaign trails.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">All they want me to do is endorse them so they can pretend they have the mantle of Ronald Reagan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">This year I was asked to endorse a politician running for president in, of all places, Ukraine. I wouldn\u2019t do it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Then I was offered $100,000 by someone in the United States just to go to Kiev, go to a cocktail party or two and be photographed next to the candidate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">I turned that down, too. The Ukrainian politician didn\u2019t care about me or Ronald Reagan or conservatism. He just wanted to wear the mantle of my father.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Someone should have been warning Hunter long before 2015 to watch out for those $50,000-a-month do-nothing job offers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">His Papa Joe, for instance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Tagline\">Send comments to <a href=\"mailto:Reagan@caglecartoons.com\">Reagan@caglecartoons.com<\/a>.
