Hunter Biden's past employer, law firm Boies Schiller Flexner, received $10 million in forgiven pandemic loans from the federal government — while donating nearly $1 million to Democratic candidates, an independent investigation has found.
Of 300 top law firms investigated by transparency nonprofit Open the Books, Boies took the single-biggest loan, $10.14 million, from the Paycheck Protection Program, established by the Trump administration in 2020 to help mom-and-pop businesses survive the pandemic. The loan was forgiven in 2021.
Meanwhile, the firm — headed by longtime Joe Biden donor David Boies — billed $480 million to clients in 2020 and 2021, and equity partners each earned $4.5 million.
Boies partners and employees donated nearly $1 million in federal campaign cash during the 2020 and 2022 election cycles, including $213,966 to Biden's presidential campaign.
First son Hunter Biden became "of counsel" at the Boies firm in 2010, earning $216,000 annually for a "no-show" job that did not require him to keep regular office hours or attend meetings.

Wow, not too shabby for the law firm, eh?
Hire the son of a politician and donate some big bucks to his father and reap the benefits!
I wonder if the usual suspects will complain bitterly about quid pro quo.
Naw, something connected to a Biden and they will remain silent.
Exactly who? gives a shit !
I went home with the waitress, the way I always do
How was I to know, she was with the Russians, too?
I was gambling in Havana, I took a little risk
Send lawyers, guns and money, dad, get me out of this, ha
I'm the innocent bystander
Somehow I got stuck between the rock and a hard place
And I'm down on my luck, yes I'm down on my luckWell, I'm down on my luck
And I'm hiding in Honduras
I'm a desperate man
Send lawyers, guns, and money
The shit has hit the fan
Alright, send lawyers, guns, and money
Huh, yeah
Send lawyers, guns, and money
Uh
Send lawyers, guns, and money
Hey
Send lawyers, guns, and money
Oo, yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Where is the faux liberal poutrage now?
I would like to be able to "invest" $216k a year and 'donate' around a million dollars and get a return of $10 MILLION!
I wonder how many of the working poor split the $10m? Six?
NONE of the working poor split that money with the law firm.
It is a bastion of liberalness, and therefore compelled to pay high wages, as evidenced by the millions in bonuses they handed out.
And to think it only took a 10% kickback to Democrats to reap $9 million!
What a racket!
I bet Hunter Biden is jealous as hell!
Let the investigations begin!
It's funny, well, not really, that Biden used forgiveness as a wedge in the illegal student loan forgiveness debacle.
As predicted, no liberals came to complain about quid pro quo despite it being almost all they thought about whenever Trump did anything even remotely similar.
Hmmmmm.
It looks like a 10% kickback to Democrats is all it takes to secure millions of taxpayer money!
