Here is what I think on this...first, I think it is bs. I think that Rudy knows it is bs, thus why he is not forthcoming with the harddrive nor the metadata. I think he actually planted most of it and that the hard drive does not belong to Hunter, but that in Ukraine, they probably hacked into Hunter's email and harvested a few emails....which is a crime...thus why he is not showing the goods. The evidence has been contaminated and there would be no way to prove that it was Hunter's....the chain of custody is a night mare and his defense attorney would tear them to shreds.
I do think that Hunter probably has used his dad's name over the years to get more important jobs, deals, etc...but that is not illegal...immoral perhaps, but not illegal. However, we have several in the White House that are doing that and worse...so, if we are going to address nepotism, we need to do that via law.
We all know that Hunter had a drug problem, that is no secret and Joe Biden never made it a secret...but that is not his father and has nothing to do with him...Hunter's demons are his alone. I had a brother that was a drug addict, I had to cut him loose many years ago, it was sad, because his addiction led him to jail and then death...he died from liver failure. He had every opportunity and I had to turn my back, even though I didn't want to. I don't speak about this brother much, because we were not raised together like the one I often refer to. I wish he had taken a different path in life, but he chose his path and it had nothing to do with the rest of his family. Who here doesn't have a family member who has struggled with some sort of addiction? Alcohol, cigarettes, drugs?
