How's this for a scenario? Biden gets the nomination and beats trump. Then he names his cabinet....

Attorney General - HUNTER BIDEN (he's a lawyer), who immediately goes after all the crimes of the trump family, et. al.

I'm pretty sure after JFK named Robert Kennedy as Attorney General the Congress passed something to prevent a President appointing a relative to the cabinet.

He's got a pretty good idea where the bodies are buried and he's going to excavate everyone of them. We aren't progressing as a country until we deal with this core criminal operation masquerading as a political party.

son's problems.

There's no way Hunter will have a role in a Biden administration.

I'd love to see the new Democratic AG go after the Trumps, though.

Just kidding. It is a stupid idea. He is an emotional basket case.

=================================================

Biden married Kathleen Buhle in 1993,[14] and they have three children, Naomi, Finnegan, and Maisy.[18] Biden and Kathleen separated in 2015 and divorced in 2017.[63]

In 2016, he began dating Hallie Biden, the widow of his brother, Beau;[64] they ended their relationship by late 2017 or early 2018.[65][66]

Biden is also the father of a child born out of wedlock in Arkansas in August 2018.[67] In May 2019, Biden married Melissa Cohen, a South African filmmaker.[68][69]

Biden spent decades struggling with alcohol and drug addiction. He said, "There's addiction in every family. I was in that darkness. I was in that tunnel—

it's a never-ending tunnel.

You don't get rid of it.

You figure out how to deal with it."[70][71]
