Two wealthy Dem donors have been identified by Insider as among the buyers of irresponsible crackhead-turned legitimately talented painter Hunter Biden’s pieces and one of the two, Elizabeth Hirsh Naftal, was appointed by Joe Biden to a seat on the Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad, an unpaid post similar to an ambassadorship in that well-heeled donors often land them. Hirsh Naftal has donated $13,414 to the Biden campaign and $29,700 to the DNC so far this year and last year hosted a fundraiser with Vice President Kamala Harris. Insider doesn’t include any details on the other donor-buyer, Kevin Morris, who does not hold any similar post.

They were also unable to ascertain if the purchase came before or after Hirsh Naftal’s appointment to the commission, but either way as far as “self-dealing” goes this is pretty tame. She already donates to the Biden Campaign and it’s hard to see how she didn’t angle the spot independently of any purchase. The gallery transacting the sales goes out of their way to ensure that the buyers are blind to Hunter and the closest potential impropriety that Insider offers is that maybe Hunter found out that Hirsh Naftal bought the painting after the fact and then voiced his support for her appointment to the commission. But you know, this will still be an absolute atrocity compared to the innocent friendship a certain Supreme Court Justice enjoys with his billionaire Hitler fanboy friend from Texas and as such Republicans will no doubt be very much eager to make it a thing.

Speaking of which, on Monday the Justice Department sent a letter to spandex-wearing grapple freak telling them they “are deeply concerned by any misrepresentations about our work – whether deliberate or arising from misunderstandings” about Hunter’s plea deal with Trump-appointed Delaware US Attorney David Weiss, and said Weiss will be made available for testimony this fall.
