If asked, this is what Joe should say (or something like this):
“In 2017 I was a private citizen, retired from politics for what I thought would be the rest of my life. If I could help out my son then, I did, and there is NOTHING illegal nor unethical about that. While I held office, I did not cross any ethical nor legal lines where it concerns Hunter’s business dealings. Nobody has any proof otherwise. Not even made-up proof.
On the other hand, Trump over-ruled our intelligence agencies to get a security clearance for two of his family members who have earned more than $200M since they actively worked in the White House for the President. They received patent approvals from China while he was negotiating with China on behalf of America. They received hundreds of millions in loans for their business while they were working for the President.
If you want to talk about neoptism and corruption, there is your man. Let’s go.”
