And the grift doesn't end when they leave office, especially for political dynasties like the Bidens, the Clintons and the Bushes. Anybody who thinks ordinary people are buying Killary's memoir are morons. There are pallets of copies of that book being stored in warehouses all over the world, or bring fed into furnaces by the people who "bought" them, because it was never about the book.
Might be settling a debt as well. The Biden Machine does you a good turn, so you grease the wheels by purchasing some artwork and don't end up grease yourself.
What does buying Hunter's art do for them, honestly? Are they going to have Joe's handler's ear for one more minute? I really don't get this.
It's how they launder money. You can't just give it over, it has to be documented for a purpose so you just "buy" worthless art.
The grift is essentially this:
Lobbyist: I need you to vote X.
Politician: look at my son's painting! It's worth at least Y million!
Painting purchased, vote magically goes that direction. 50% for the big guy.

Or "speaking fees" that are hundreds of thousands.

You do my son a favor I’ll feel entitled to do your son a favor.
