'It Was Poor Judgement On My Part': Hunter Biden Breaks His Silence
Daily Mail ^ | 10/15/19 | Emily Goodin

Posted on 10/15/2019 7:30:12 AM PDT by Enlightened1

Hunter Biden said he exercised poor judgement in his business deals with Ukraine and China but emphasized he did nothing wrong in the scandals that have engulfed his father's presidential bid and made the family a political target for President Donald Trump.

'In retrospect, look, I think that it was poor judgment on my part. Is that I think that it was poor judgment because I don't believe now, when I look back on it - I know that there was - did nothing wrong at all,' he told ABC News in an interview that aired Tuesday morning on 'Good Morning America.' 'However, was it poor judgment to be in the middle of something that is...a swamp in—in—in many ways? Yeah.'

'I gave a hook to some very unethical people to act in illegal ways to try to do some harm to my father. That's where I made the mistake,' he noted. 'So I take full responsibility for that. Did I do anything improper? No, not in any way. Not in any way whatsoever.' 

'Did I make a mistake? Well, maybe in the grand scheme of things, yeah,' he said, in reference to fallout from his overseas business. 'But did I make a mistake based upon some ethical lapse? Absolutely not.'

What sux most is that all these rotten DemRats in Congress and Senate focus their energies on bogus impeachment witch-hunts instead on how to improve the nation for American citizens. They are worthless scums paid with our tax dollars while President Trump is a solutions oriented doer.

“Mistakes were made”

Nothing changes

A leftist’s apology tour. All is well now, thanks to the press giving him cover.

"Did I make a mistake? Well, maybe in the grand scheme of things, yeah,' he said, WRT his overseas business deals. I think
that it was poor judgment on my part. I gave a hook to some very unethical people to act in illegal ways to try to do some harm
to my innocent father. That's where I made the mistake," he noted. 'So I take full responsibility for that. Did I do anything improper?
No, not in any way. Not in any way whatsoever."

“Thanks Hunter-- my bank statement arrived. And Michelle loved the diamond from China you sent over.”

===================================

All Hunter did was help Demcraps get elected (cackle).

INCONVENIENT FACTOIDS these are the elected who would participate in a Senate impeachment trial of Pres Trump:

<><>Democrats once waged war on fossil fuels, opposing fracking, trying to shut down US energy production.
<><> Demos said American natural gas was bad for the environment.
<><> Then Demos turned tail----Ukrainian natural gas was good ....
<><> b/c Ukrainian n/g filled Demos campaign coffers
<><> That involved both Hunter’s lucrative business interests and SoS John Kerry’s former COS.

==============================

Sen. Ed Markey organized the Tribe of Subservient Men and was the Senate sponsor of AOC's cockamamie Green New Deal!
<><> We know Markey wants to shut down gas production in America.
<><> Yet he personally intervened to urge the Obama admin to finance Ukraine's gas production w/ US tax dollars.
<><> Markey (A) wrote to Obama, (B) he sponsored multiple pieces of legislation demanding more US assistance, and,
<><> (C) demanded US aid specifically to help Ukraine's natural gas sector.

============================== ...

Demo senators took campaign cash from Ukrainian interests while
begging Ukraine for help in removing a duly elected President from office.

It's impossible to believe, seeing Hunter constantly at his father's side
-------- even speaking from the VP's podium (above)-------
that Joe Biden would not ask Hunter where he's getting tons of money to support
his expensive cocaine habit, his lifestyle, and his various girlfriends and children.

It was great judgement—he made millions of dollars.

That is not a mistake—that is a career choice!

Every nickel Hunter was paid should be clawed back and returned to the American taxpayer.

Now that is what I call _reparations_!

Pelosi/Schiff’s impeachment gambit ensnared Quid Pro Joe, who helped Hunter make millions in sub rosa deals exploiting the US vice-presidency.

Joe pops up every now and then to protect his chronically unemployed son soon as the checks clear.

Pelosi/Schiff and short-sighted Democraps lurched into the Ukraine/Biden thingy not stopping to consider
that outside Deep State’s blue enclaves of wanton perversion, voting America sees Hunter Biden......not as an innocent victim....
but as a crack-addicted, widow-diddling sex maniac......a ne’er-do well living large off his White Privilege.

Hunter has a history of bad decisions. Cocaine, leaving his wife for his sister-in-law. Leaving his sister-in-law for a South African model.

Sounds like he is perfectly qualified to be on the Board of Directors of any major multi-national corporation, or to manage $1.5 billion in hedge funds from a foreign government.

THIS JUST IN: His fund-raising is in the sewer, but Biden has $6 million dollars for new campaign ads? Did he borrow it from his son?

Obama’s wondering the same thing (cackle)——he always suspected Hunter was holding out on them in the Ukrainian deal.

Hunter had(s) a very expensive cocaine habit when he supposedly got a paltry $3 million from Burisma -— to be split three ways.

But Obama knew IMF had given Ukraine $5 billion.......which went missing......
and was being investigated by the same prosecutor looking into Hunter. Quelle “coincidence.” Non?

The corruption-seeking Ukraine prosecutor got fired when Joe Biden stepped in to defend his son soon as the checks cleared.

“... I don’t believe now, when I look back on it - I know that there was - did nothing wrong at all,’

Sociopaths have zero empathy and have no concept of right and wrong.

“’I gave a hook to some very unethical people to act in illegal ways to try to do some harm to my father.”


It is quite possibly true that Hunter Biden broke no laws by getting high-paid no-show jobs in China and Ukraine. But that’s not the point. Biden and his family were being enriched by foreign-state actors who wanted entry into the highest levels of the Obama administration. There is no way that this can be made to look good. And there is always the possibility that Hunter was passing along bribes, and that would be illegal. But that would require an investigation and investigating Joe Biden is now apparently an impeachable offense.

Please note that Hunter’s reference to “very unethical people” is not referring to his “business partners” but rather to President Trump for uncovering Hunter Biden’s dubious business schemes.
