5. Well, Obama had guidelines, too.

Oct 2019

Chris Heinz chose to follow the strictest interpretation of those guidelines when he bowed out of his partnership with Hunter. He didn’t want to put his stepfather, the Sec of State, in the position of being forced to answer for even an APPEARANCE of unethical business dealings in Ukraine.

In your honest heart you know we all wish Hunter had listened to his partner and made the exact same choice.

No Democrat should alter their longheld positions. They do need to be deft in their answers so it is not twisted into an attack on Biden.

BTW, for newer DU folks, Chris Heinz was one of our early DU members for a few years.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
