After Tanzanian fashion designer Asya Khamsin heard about his exploits and realized that some of the fashions he was wearing matched ones in a suitcase she had had stolen from a Washington flight, she complained to Delta and the local authorities who have referred it to the FBI.\u00a0 This will probably be Brinton&#8217;s third felony-level suitcase-theft charge. This one looks pretty iron-clad &#8211; she designed and made the clothes she reported stolen and he has been photographed wearing them. Pity all them can do is send him to PMITA prison, he&#8217;ll probably fit right in.

Only one small detail &#8211; you have to have a license to do security work in St. Louis and his expired\u00a0 in 2012 per public records. This is on top of the hundreds of thousands she has paid to Peace Security for personal security while simultaneously arguing to defund the police. Nothing like hypocrisy, huh? What&#8217;s even better is her response when called out on it:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;They would rather I die?&#8221; Bush asked. &#8220;You would rather me die? Is that what you want to see? You want to see me die?

Well, turns out Hunter&#8217;s business partner, Eric Schwerin,\u00a0 is close enough to Joe to send him letters of recommendation for signature attesting to their close relationship.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Schwerin has also been instrumental in managing the finances of Hunter and the Biden family.
