The Democrat double standard of foreign transactions of family members

Breitbart:
Peter Schweizer: Unlike Don Jr., Hunter Biden ‘Actually Had Foreign Deals’

...
“When you look at the two cases in parallel, it’s really astonishing that the one they are most fixated on is the one with Don Jr.,” stated Schweizer. “Why do I say that? First of all, in the case of the Moscow Trump Tower deal, there was no deal. It was something that was talked about. It was something that they were hopeful they were going to be able to negotiate, but nothing was even close to ever being consummated. So there was never a deal.”

Schweizer continued, “Contrast that with the case of Hunter Biden. Hunter Biden actually has real deals. The Ukrainian energy company Burisma actually transferred $3.1 million to an account over 14 months that he drew money from. There was a deal there. The deal with the Chinese, same thing. he flies over on Air Force Two with his father – ten days after they return, his firm has a $1.5 billion private equity deal with the Chinese government.”

“In the Don Jr. case, there’s no deal that’s ever consummated,” added Schweizer. “In the second instance, you have multiple deals that were consummated.”

Schweizer went on, “Here’s the second difference. In the case of Don Jr. and the Trump Tower deal with Moscow that never came to fruition, this was occurring while they were private citizens. They weren’t elected officials. They weren’t government officials. They weren’t leveraging their political power or ability to help somebody with getting deals and getting rich. In this particular case, Donald Trump was candidate for President of the United States, but he held no official power. Contrast that again with the Bidens. The deals that the Biden family secured with these foreign governments occurred precisely when Joe Biden was vice president and had enormous power in that he was the point person on U.S. policy towards both China and Ukraine.”

One of the ways you can tell this story frightens the liberal media is how they seek to avoid it at all cost.  If the roles were reversed and they thought the story would hurt Trump they would have reporters all over both Ukraine and the China stories looking for corruption,  No doubt Trump will push the corruption angle which will put pressure on the media to at least look at the issue.
