Vice President Joe Biden's aides were worried about "the optics" of his son, Hunter, working for a Ukrainian energy company in 2014, but they refused to raise the issue so as to not risk "a scolding" from the elder Biden, according to a report by The New York Times.
The aides "enlisted State Department officials to gather facts to determine how to handle the story" of Hunter Biden's work on the board of Burisma Holdings, to which he was appointed that year, the Times reported Sunday.
"Hunter Biden's activities struck many of the officials working on Ukraine policy as an unnecessary distraction, or worse," according to the Times.
But "few, if any, had raised the issue with Mr. Biden directly when it first arose."
That was because Biden had "reacted angrily" when aides to Democrat presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama "raised the issue of his son's lobbying during the 2008 campaign."

They knew it was inappropriate - but it's OK now!
According to Hunter Biden. He knew it was a conflict and probably shouldn't have done it BUT. That was then, this is now attitude. I say No - you must stand trail for your alledge crimes. Notice I stated because unlike President Trump you are inicent until proven guilty. Something the Dems don't believe in when they don't get their way.
Maybe Biden's aides brought the subject up while he was swimming naked in front of his female secret service detail. That was probably why he reacted angrily. They ruined his mojo.
BOTH Bidens should be Locked UP & just may Happen !!!
