As Democrats and the media remain fanatically obsessed with assembling some form of a “quid pro quo” from the infamous Trump-Zelensky phone call, new details have emerged regarding Burisma, the company for which Hunter Biden worked and the company that Ukraine’s top prosecutor had been investigating before Vice President Joe Biden had the prosecutor fired via a months-long pressure campaign. According to web archives, top Mitt Romney adviser Joseph Cofer Black, who publicly goes by “Cofer Black,” joined Burisma’s board of directors while Hunter Biden was also serving on the board.
According to The New Yorker, Hunter joined Burisma’s board in April of 2014 and remained on it until he declined to renew his position this past May. Meanwhile, according to Burisma’s website, Black was appointed in February of 2017 and continues to serve on its board. The timelines would indicate that Black and Biden worked together at Burisma, and indeed, web archives from late 2017 show Black and Biden listed simultaneously on the board.
Black joined the CIA in 1974 and eventually climbed the ranks to become director of the National Counterterrorism Center from 1999 to 2002. In 2002, President George W. Bush appointed him ambassador at large and coordinator for counterterrorism. He later worked at Blackwater as a vice chairman before joining Romney’s campaign as a “special adviser” on Romney’s Foreign Policy and National Security Advisory Team in October of 2011. In 2017, Black joined the board of Burisma.
It’s looking increasingly probable that Burisma, the subject of a series of corruption allegations in the past, has been smartly buying Western complacency by slapping a few famous names on its board. In addition to the son of a vice president and a special adviser to a GOP presidential candidate, the board also boasts the former president of Poland from 1995 to 2005, Aleksander Kwaśniewski.
Is the fit about to hit the Shan?
Senator John Kennedy from Louisiana, I think..................
Romney is a Deepstate tool.
Maybe Mitt the twit applied for the job and they told him he couldn’t be trusted and they took his advisor.
A hah! No wonder Mittens is in bed with the radicalized dem party. He is one.
Well, well, well...
Is the fit about to hit the Shan?
= = =
If it does, it is DJT’s fault - Climate Change - Don’t Deny It.
I’d think everybody would be suspicious of Mitt Romney after Romneycarelessness when he was governor of MA.
Maybe it’s been just long enough ago for people to have forgotten.
Indeed.
I suspect most never-Trump GOPe cretins are, or relatives/associates are, playing in the $kimmers’s $andbox.
Explains a lot of their attitude about Trump.
True elephants (Pubbies) never forget.
Now the reason for Romney’s squealing is becoming more clear.
Ping
In 2012 Romney said he would hire McKinsey & Company to restructure the management of the US Government if he was elected.
McKinsey & Company worked with this Gas Company, George Sorros, and the same Ukrainian leader as Manafort.
McKinsey & Company is a CIA front company that restructured the CIA management under Brennan in 2015.
They are s Democrat stronghold. Former employees include Chelsea Clinton, Pete Buttigieg, Elizabeth Warren’s daughter, the heads if Google, Yahoo. And many more anti Trump organizations.
Here is the snake’s head..

VP’s Son Hunter Biden Joins Ukraine Gas Corporation

Russia shouldn’t mess with the Russian speaking population in Eastern Ukrainen along its borders. Joe Biden was in Kiev, followed by CIA chief John Brennan and their was immediate response of the Ukrainian Army moving into Mariupol and Slavyansk, guns blazing.
Western media didn’t cover the 42 deaths in Odessa and the total death toll after the Maidan Revolution has surpassed the sad number of pre-rebellion.
In VP’s office, did Biden find a moving box with Halliburton energy dossiers belonging to Cheney?
Hunter Biden, son of US VP Joe Biden, is joining the board of directors of Burisma Holdings, Ukraine’s largest private gas producer. The group has prospects in eastern Ukraine where civil war is threatened following the coup in Kiev.
Biden will advise on “transparency, corporate governance and responsibility, international expansion and other priorities” to “contribute to the economy and benefit the people of Ukraine.”
Joe Biden’s senior campaign adviser in 2004, financier Devon Archer, a business partner of Hunter Biden’s, also joined the Bursima board claiming it was like `Exxon in the old days’.
Biden Jr’s resume is unsurprisingly sprinkled with Ivy-league dust – he is on the Chairman’s Advisory Board for the National Democratic Institute, a director for the Center for National Policy and the US Global Leadership Coalition comprising 400 American businesses, NGOs, senior national security and foreign policy experts.
Former US President Bill Clinton appointed him an Executive Director of E-Commerce Policy and he was honorary co-chair of the 2008 Obama-Biden Inaugural Committee.
