Didn't Obama hand his eldest daughter over to Harvey Weinstein? What the hell kind of father is Obama to do something that stupid. It had to have been okayed with a background check, but something tells me the deep state knew and Obama had no choice( or backbone) and couldn't say no.

Except that white house aide jobs, internships, ambassadorships to places like Guam or Fiji etc. are all political payoffs that go to friends\families\donors. Heck, do you know how Hillary got the Secretary of State job?

I'm not saying it's right but your reference is business as usual in this country.

Nikki Hayley's position on the board for Boeing...not because of her well documented aviation knowledge, experience and not even because of her extensive corporate experience.

It happens.

So was Hunter's position at Burisma. See also: Hunter's position at AMTRAK; Cofer Black's position at Burisma; Nikki Haley's position at Boeing; a million other examples.

Trump and his family profit off their jobs in the WH. They are doing it while in office. We haven't even gotten to how much his sons, wife, in laws, siblings, corporate buddies etc benefit WHILE in the White House.

This is news to me, do you have anything (alex jones, WND and Breitbar are not legitimate) to back up your claims?
