 On Hunter's Fairweather Friends...

Daniel Greenfield, "As Biden’s Polls Drop, Hunter’s Patron Stops Paying His Bills"

When your dad's on top, everyone is your friend. When your dad is sinking, no one will take your calls.

The Hunter Biden story has lots of strange twists and turns, but one of the strangest may be Kevin Morris.

Morris is a Hollywood lawyer who met Hunter at a Biden fundraiser, took over his investments, paid his bills and bought his artwork. Morris provided Hunter with $6.5 million in loans, which including paying his back taxes, covering rent, payments on a Porsche, lawyer fees, child support and whatever else might been on the tab.

This presumably does not count the paintings that sold for a total of over $1 million and of which Morris supposedly bought about half.

Why did Morris do all this? Maybe Hunter got off the streetcar to Santa Monica and declared, “I have always been dependent on the kindness of stranger.” Apparently, Kevin felt sorry for him and there were no homeless in the area so he lavished millions on Hunter.

So much for that.

Hunter Biden’s so-called “sugar brother” Kevin Morris has told associates that he can’t afford to cover the mounting legal bills incurred by the first son, who’s set to face two trials starting next month.

“The reason Kevin got involved financially in the first place was that he could see that no one was going to help Hunter,” a person close to the Hollywood entertainment lawyer told Politico.

“Now, four and a half years later, there’s still no help — and now Kevin is completely tapped out,” the person added. “So just when Hunter is facing two criminal trials starting in a few weeks, he has no resources. It’s pretty dire.”

Federal trials are really expensive. Just ask any of the former Trump administration figures who got dragged through them for wholly partisan reasons. Plan A was to just toss Hunter’s case away and that fell apart when the judge wouldn’t go for it. Plan B is going to be more expensive.

But I can’t help but wonder if Kevin is now “tapped out” because he’s been looking at Joe’s poll numbers.

If you can drop $6 million plus on the president’s crackhead son, is that because you love all crackheads, or because it’s the ‘president’ part of it that matters.

With polls raising the possibility that the investment in a Biden presidency may be strictly short-term, a smart investor would indeed opt out rising legal costs with limited returns.

Now maybe Kevin really just loves crackheads and wants to be kind to them to the tune of $6 million. Life is strange and anything is possible. But I wonder if the fate of Hunter’s legal bills may be tied to daddy’s poll numbers. When your dad’s on top, everyone is your friend. When your dad is sinking, no one will take your calls.

It’s hard out there for the failed son of a failed president.
