If the feds treated other administrations like they treated Trump, you would see the same or more criminals. You have the president and his family making millions off his position and yet nothing has been done about it.

I'm not saying you should feel good about Hunter Biden getting tapped for corporate board positions when he is totally unqualified.  Or Chelsea Clinton getting a c-suite job at a hedge fund right out of college. I get angry about that and so should you. 
However
If I was Hunter Biden, and I was offered that job, would I say no?
And if we really think it's wrong, should we try to make it illegal? Is that the society we want, where the kids and family of politicians have to live like monks basically?
We know Hunter Biden broke the law, but the crime doesn't seem to be related to any political decision his father made. Chelsea, we don't know what she does for that hedge fund, but as far as I know, Chelsea and the hedge fund have never been accused of anything illegal.

There are job requirements that American companies have to provide and that could be used to judge experience and education across the company and industry.

It would be easy to keep the family from getting new jobs if they don't have the experience or if the pay is too high for the industry. You could also ensure hours match and it's not just a fake job.

International stuff is harder to stop but they should either outright ban international work/deals or require everything to be reviewed to ensure it matches industry standards, company history, and follows approval timing and compares against other government permits, environmental reviews, etc.


Everyone in the family should be under automatic audit and investigation for all politicians. Frankly you should have to turnover assets into trusts to manage them while you work for the government.
