The whole world may have heard that Hunter Biden got a cushy job he didn't deserve because of his dad, but the whole world was certainly not privy to the fact that the cushy job was just the tip of the iceberg. Burisma was not an isolated incident.
For example, Hunter parlayed his father's influence into a $10 million a year deal in China:
Emails on the laptop confirm what Hunter's business partner, Tony Bobulinski alleged, i.e. that Hunter tried to cut a deal with a Chinese energy firm that would funnel a 10% equity stake to VP Biden:
We're not talking about a one-off instance of corruption (not that a one-off is excusable); we're talking about systemic corruption in several countries. From a legal perspective, there is a plethora of evidence to substantiate a strong case for white collar crime, as detailed in this report:

But the real issue isn't whether Americans knew Hunter had a cushy job at a Ukrainian company or whether both sides engaged in nepotism. The real issue is that the extent of Hunter's corruption and self-dealing runs deeper than most Americans realized or were allowed to know. That's the elephant in the room.
Yes, we all know nepotism is rife in government. But when the media tries to keep us from knowing just how rife it is by labelling it "disinformation" or "baseless," we've got a big problem, Houston.
And yes, we can most definitely agree that American democracy is broken. We need to stick a fork in the current System because it's failing all but the .01% miserably. But keep in mind Americans won't be motivated to build another, better democracy if they are deceived into believing American democracy isn't as broken as it really is.
