Hunter Biden and Devon Archer joined the board of Burisma.

But a key partner in their investment firm raised serious concerns.

Chris Heinz, Kerry’s stepson, told Archer that joining Burisma was a bad idea, according to a spokesman for Heinz.

Heinz was concerned about reports of corruption in Ukraine, geopolitical risks and general questions about appearance.

“Mr. Heinz strongly warned Mr. Archer that working with Burisma was unacceptable. Mr. Archer stated that he and Hunter Biden intended to pursue the opportunity as individuals, not as part of the firm,” Heinz spokesman Chris Bastardi told The Post.

The decision fractured the firm.

“The lack of judgment in this matter was a major catalyst for Mr. Heinz ending his business relationships with Mr. Archer and Mr. Biden,” Bastardi said, adding that Heinz and his investment firm were never involved with Burisma.

Archer could not be reached for comment. His lawyer did not respond to requests for comment.

Mesires, Hunter Biden’s attorney, did not respond to a question about whether Hunter Biden knew of Heinz’s warning.

To assist in their new venture, they(Biden & Heinz) partnered with a Massachusetts-based consultancy called the Thornton Group, headed by James Bulger, son of former Massachusetts state Sen. Billy Bulger. James Bulger has the dubious honor of being named after his uncle, the notorious mob hitman James “Whitey” Bulger. They have a Chinese counterpart Solebury Thornton (Beijing) Consulting Co., Ltd., Beijing, China

Does it seem to you the problem we have is the incompetent offspring of 'elites' are screwing up because they're not even talented in graft? No less anything else? In the private sector these types would be let go... in DC they get ever larger jobs..
