There is a reason politicians like Joe Biden run their influence peddling revenue thru their wives, relatives and friends and the SCOTUS ruling on Trump's tax returns should highlight it. Biden's son's huge income from China and the Ukraine are classic examples of influence peddling that does not appear on Joe Biden's tax return.
There is a basis to crack down on establishment politicians in both parties applying the emolument clause to EVERY relative and transaction that benefits a politician indirectly too.
I have pointed out the campaign contribution dodge that politicians use (largely liberals) in the prepayment for a book deal. Liberal printers pay large upfront amounts to politicians knowing they will never get a profit on the book but they avoid the campaign limits on contributions by playing that game.
What has gone on is so dirty that the time to crack down on it is long past. However since there are so many involved in both parties there is no incentive for either party to crack down on it.
