Fancy That: Hunter Biden's 'Art Dealer' Met With and Spoke With Joe Biden

You have to almost — almost — feel sorry for Hunter Biden, as the hits just keep piling up. In addition to all his legal woes, now his "art" dealer is selling him down the river

The art dealer who sold Hunter Biden’s paintings told Congress that President Joe Biden both called and met him at the White House as he was pitching Hunter's artwork and that the first son also made an unusual request to be informed about who bought his pieces, according to testimony that directly undercuts the White House narrative on the sales. 

The Biden White House repeatedly told the public that Hunter Biden’s art sales were covered by an ethics agreement to ensure they were arms-length and that the first family -- Hunter included -- was blinded to the identity of buyers.

He wasn't, of course, "blinded" to the identity of buyers; if anyone reading this believes he was, then I have a bridge in London to sell you. Now, that art dealer is talking to congressional impeachment investigators, and he's tossing the Bidens under the bus.

But George Berges, owner of the prestigious Berges art galleries based in New York and Berlin that sold Hunter Biden’s painting from 2020 to 2023, told congressional impeachment investigators that the first son likely knew the identity of 70% of the buyers – the largest who were Democrat donors – and that Hunter Biden’s first contract made an unusual request when the relationship started.

So, despite what the Bidens claimed when Hunter started his "art career," these buyers were overwhelmingly known to the Bidens — and in these sales, considering the level of skill and talent Hunter has displayed in his art daubs, the prices asked can only be seen as payments for something else. Like, say, access to Joe Biden, which George Berges certainly got.

Not only did Hunter Biden know many of the buyers, Joe Biden apparently knew about the gallery selling Hunter Biden’s art and had two contacts with Berges, according to the testimony.

“Have you spoken to President Biden?” a House investigator asked at one point.
“Yes,” Berges answered.

“Okay. And was that in person or on the phone or both?” the investigator pressed.
“Both,” he answered.

Most of Hunter's problems with drugs and his peccadillos with strippers and prostitutes are of his own making. But the scarcely-concealed bribery schemes and foreign influence-peddling, that's an entirely different kettle of fish.

This is another piece of evidence as to the nature of the Biden crime family; Joe Biden is the most corrupt political figure in American history since Huey Long, and considering that's an aggregation that includes Bill and Hillary Clinton, that's really saying something. As for whether those chickens ever come home to roost, that's anyone's guess. Sure, the House has initiated an impeachment investigation, and sure, Hunter is being dragged in to testify to Congress — and we have covered all of those Hunter Biden issues and more into the bargain right here in these virtual pages. But will any of the Bidens see any real consequences from any of these shenanigans?

If you're wondering about the answer to that - ask Hillary Clinton.
