‘Sugar Bro’ Reveal
Hey, Hunter: Go home and get your shine-box! Such was the effective response of the first son’s “sugar brother,” Hollywood lawyer Kevin Morris, when grilled by Congress about the massive debts Hunter owes him.
Morris suggested Hunter could work them off by washing his car for the rest of his life. But his “joke” reveals the truth about why so many people are in such a rush to give Hunter so much money as clearly as any congressional investigation.
Hunter himself is a nobody, seen as utterly beneath contempt even among his associates. The kind of man you can tell, in public, to wash your car. What counts is Joe, and the access to him paying Hunter provides.
Morris gave Hunter north of $2 million to get out of tax trouble, among handouts totaling an estimated $7 million-plus. He also bought close to $900,000 worth of Hunter’s artwork, becoming the No. 1 buyer of Biden originals, and even gives handouts to Hunter’s exes.
The man’s an LA player. He didn’t hand over cash like that out of the goodness of his heart. Or even out of a high opinion of Hunter’s merits as a human or painter, as the cruel car-washing jab shows.
No: He was buying what Hunter’s former associate Devon Archer calls the Biden brand. With all the opportunity that provides, including the possibility of confidential, “Godfather”-style chats with Don Giuseppe himself.
Morris’ claim that these are loans is absurd on its face. How could Hunter, whose only job (influence-peddling) is in mega-jeopardy, come up with millions? These are cash handouts, disguise them however you like.
It’s the old Hunter story. A drug-addled ne’er-dowell somehow just keeps falling ass-backward into money. From a Ukrainian oil and gas firm, despite the fact that he literally knew nothing about the business. From Chinese businessmen, eager to join commercial forces with a zero-experience loser.
Heck, look at his art career: A connected former crack addict starts churning out mediocre paintings in early middle age and, miraculously, they’re a hit with exactly the kind of people who want to cozy up to his father. Morris, Hollywood sleaze that he is, is there at the trough with the rest of them.
The sad part for Hunter? Sugar Brother is clearly willing to throw him over the moment the feeding opportunity stops.
