Really? Is that what I should worry about? The $6 million that Biden wants from Trump?
There are easy solutions for Biden. Hunter and Joe have already gotten a billion dollars from China in influence peddling. So he could just ask his Beijing contact for another $6 million in return for future favors. He could do the same with his contacts in Moscow and Kiev. Joe and Hunter have plenty of opportunities to pick up $6 million for his "transition team," and a lot more for his other cronies. So, problem solved!
Sleazy John, but ignoring the obvious conspiracy nonsense, let's actually talk about the real issues. For someone who prides himself on international savvy, you should be ashamed of this comment. The money is the least of the worries. What they need are in-briefs, parallel briefing to the President's Daily Brief included, access to SCIFs, and advance background checking on future members of administration. We're the world's #1 superpower, and not having an administration ready to go at all times is, frankly, criminal. If you doubt it, read the After Action Report on 9/11.
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
