If everything was on the up-and-up with Hunter Biden why would he pledge to step down from the board and not work for any foreign-owned companies if his father is elected?
Important piece there, IF his father is elected.

From The Wall Street Journal:
The son of Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden plans to step down from the board of a Chinese-based private-equity company amid intense criticism from President Trump that he profited from his father’s name.
Hunter Biden pledged in a statement released in a Medium post Sunday that he would step down from the board on Oct. 31 and not work for any foreign-owned companies or serve on their boards if his father is elected president.
He also said he would “readily comply with any and all guidelines and standards” his father may issue as president to address conflicts of interest.
Gosh, wonder why he’s doing this.
Someone told him last night he was on the board. “Oh that’s what those checks were for”

So Hunter will step down.
Huh.
Folks are still unimpressed.
What value did Hunter Biden add in Ukraine and China? He had zero experience in the regions and less than zero experience in the energy sector. So what exactly were the companies involved in the million dollar deals with Biden paying for?

HA!
Hunter Biden issues a statement saying that he "won't work for any foreign-owned companies or serve on their boards during a potential Biden administration." That is the Biden family admitting that what they did was wrong, and inappropriate: https://t.co/hBOjTX7N23

But only promising to stop doing it if Joe is elected president.
Convenient that.
