flat out lie, again.

Hunter Biden’s lobbying clients did not include any banks or credit card companies.

"In addition to his work for universities, Hunter Biden has done consulting work for MBNA, the largest employer in Delaware.

From 2001 to 2005, Hunter was paid an undisclosed amount by the credit card giant, which has since been purchased by Bank of America. It has been widely reported that he received $100,000 a year.

At the time, Sen. Biden led a successful, high-profile battle in the Senate for a bankruptcy bill that ultimately benefited credit card companies. The law makes it more difficult for people to file for personal bankruptcy protection under Chapter 7."

you parse it as he only did consulting work for them, but he was employed by the company that secured particular advantage by his father's fight for the bill that benefitted his operation.

and in several cases, after he founded his firm, his underlings lobbied the underlings of congressman, but the message was clear who was lobbying who. he technically did not lobby some congressmen personally, but his employees did on his behalf, and he benefited financially as a partner in the firm. And all the players were clear who Hunter was, and his position. His people talked to their people, and deals were struck, and earmarks flowed freely.

so saying he didn't lobby them personally is only a white lie.
it is like saying general motors doesn't sell cars, the local dealer does. Or another.. that if the ambassador to afganistan threatens them, that the president isn't responsible for it. The buck stops with the head of the company. period.

your spin would never work on a jury.
