Gosh, if Hunter Biden is guilty of influence peddling, then what about Ivanka? Or Jared? Are they qualified to hold positions in the White House? What about their security clearances? How much are they being paid? When should we start investigating them?

I find the hypocrisy of the right wing laughable.
THANK YOU for that OFTEN overlooked fact.......welcome to the fray!

Not at all. My point is, if Hunter Biden is guilty of currying favor - or whatever the current charge conservatives have drummed up - then Trump's kids are also fair game. I'm not saying that illegal activities are acceptable because the other side did it. If any of those politician kids are guilty of a crime, then throw the book at them.
Of course, there is no evidence that the Bidens did anything wrong. I know you won't believe that, but that is what has been shown to date.
The Trump kids have also not been charged, but hey, if we're gong to investigate Hunter Biden, then lets expand it to Ivanka and Jared. What say you?

So your point is, so what, they do it too.
NO.....the juxtapose position is a joke of the century...jmo
Today, Trump is calling for the Biden's to be investigated by China, because, according to Trump, they profited off the office of the VP.
Does that mean Trump's kids should be investigated for the same activity?
Just a reminder: Koobookie doesn't have to answer that ramage, as this isn't about who they are but the topic at hand.
BlazerBob, the Ukraine prosecutor who was removed at Biden's urging, was done because he wasn't investigating corruption and several Western governments wanted him gone. He ruined an investigation in Great Britain because they had frozen the assets of Burisma (the company Biden's son worked for), but had to release the hold when the Ukrainian prosecutor refused to file charges. Getting that prosecutor out was against the interests of Biden's son's company, and Trump and Company trying to spin this the opposite direction is flat out lying. Not to mention an impeachable offense in asking a foreign government to investigate a political opponent in exchange for support - that's abusing the powers of office plain and simple.
It’s strange to see my journalism twisted, perverted, and turned into lies and poisonous propaganda by Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani, and their enablers. But that’s what has happened to a news story I wrote four years ago.
In 2015, I wrote a story for the New York Times about Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, and Ukraine. Many observers now seem to think this suddenly hot story came out of nowhere this year, but that is not true.
The truth behind that story has been lost in a swamp of right-wing opposition research, White House lies, and bizarre follow-up stories. Now it appears that the Biden-Ukraine story will play a role in a new impeachment inquiry against Trump, amid evidence that he sought to pressure Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky by withholding U.S. aid unless Zelensky agreed to investigate the Bidens.
With so much now at stake, I thought it would be useful to revisit my original story and in the process, separate the truth from the gathering lies.
"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther
The truth is incontrovertible. Malice may attack it. ignorance may deride it, but in the end, there it is. ~Winston Churchill
