    It’s been a problem a long time. Hunter’s case is pretty egregious. The Trump family was probably the worst offender between Ivanka’s Chinese interests and Saudi Arabia and the Gulf states pouring money into Trump properties.

    But it goes back as far as I can remember. Remember Billy Beer?

    Billy Beer did not to my knowledge involve foreign interests.

      Yeah, I was going to mention it was a far more benign example.

        Why bother trying to minimize it?

        We can see what it says.

        It says there is evidence that Joe is a traitor and a criminal.

        Maybe you should do something about it. Write your Congessman. Send a letter to the editor. Convene a meeting of concerned citizens in local community hall.

        Start a thread expressing your outrage and indignation on a social media forum like TNCR.

        Dig a hole in your backyard and scream into it for all the neighbours to hear.

        Like you did?

        I could never do anything as clever as your post.

        Gee, that was really biting wit.

        Thanks for sharing, we all owe you so much.

          It's an example of trading on the name, yes, but not trading the expectation of access or influence. It really does not belong in this discussion.

            You can’t see what it says because it hasn’t been released, if it exists at all.

            I don’t minimize the “ickiness” of Hunter, I’ve said here that I would love to see him arrested, if what we read about the evidence against him is true.

            I’ve also given some thought about what we could conceivably do about politician’s family members trading on their name and it’s hard to imagine what we could realistically do to prevent it.

            You can demand financial transparency and ethics rules for the candidates themselves, but it’s not like (say) your uncle running for office could obligate you to submit financial disclosures.

            Yes, you can see it, right there in the story, which I conveniently pasted into this thread. Just look, there it is.

              Not nearly as much as you deserve.
