Why wouldn’t a middle-aged Californian list his father’s Delaware address as his home?

Despite years of President Joe Biden‘s denials that he spoke with his son about his overseas business dealings or profited from Hunter Biden trading on the Biden family name, the House Oversight Committee has obtained evidence that in the summer of 2019, Hunter Biden listed his father’s Delaware address on a wire transfer to receive money from his Chinese business associates.
It would seem this is fairly undeniable evidence that the then-presidential candidate profited off of Hunter Biden’s influence peddling with America’s most odious adversaries. Alas, not so, at least according to the White House!

This defense, coming from the White House spokesman for oversight and investigations, is so absurd it necessitates that we fisk it phrase by phrase and thought by thought.
For starters, the quarter-million-dollar wire transfer disclosed by House Republicans was sent in the summer of 2019, long before the pandemic began in 2020. Not to mention the fact that by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s logic, a 50-year-old man would be reckless to move in with his then-septuagenarian father most at risk of dying from the pandemic before the rollout of the vaccines.
Furthermore, Hunter Biden wasn’t shacking up with his father in 2019. Per his memoir and admissions during his attempted plea deal, the first son was living in California with his third baby mama, Melissa Cohen Biden. So why would this middle-aged man who was evidently making bank on his own list his father’s address for a wire transfer if his father had nothing to do with the business in question?

Just three years ago, the president promised that his son never received cash from China and that he had never spoken with his son about his overseas business dealings. Since then, the goalposts have shifted to, “Well, Joe was just calling into Hunter’s business meetings to talk about the weather,” and now, “Imagine them arguing that, if someone stayed at their parents’ house during the pandemic, listed it as their permanent address for work, and got a paycheck, the parents somehow also worked for the employer — it’s bananas!”
It’s not bananas to assume that if the address for a wire transfer is listed as a house in Delaware, the intended recipient is the owner and resident of the house in Delaware, not a different adult man living a continent away. At this point, Democrats might not accept the writing on the wall until Chinese President Xi Jinping signs a notarized affidavit proving that Joe Biden knowingly profited off Hunter Biden trading on the Biden family name.
