Joe Biden's family ties to an influence peddling scheme at a Ukrainian gas company could hurt the former vice president's 2020 campaign, political scientist Ian Bremmer told CNN on Tuesday.
"[Joe] Biden does have a problem here. I have to say $50,000 a month for Hunter Biden—clearly to be selling influence because otherwise, no one would ever pay him that kind of money—for a company that, frankly, was pretty corrupt and has been before and has been since under investigation," Bremmer said.
Bremmer is president of Eurasia Group and Time magazine editor at large. He told CNN's New Day Hunter Biden was named to the board of Burisma, Ukraine's largest private gas company, for his ability to sell influence during the Obama administration.
Hunter Biden is the son of 2020 Democratic primary frontrunner Joe Biden. Bremmer said the former vice president was likely aware of his son's ties to the company and its ongoing corruption woes.
"It's hard to imagine Joe Biden wasn't aware of it," Bremmer said. "I expect that President Obama, if he had known about the reality of the situation, would've probably told Biden ‘get rid of this, we shouldn't have your son working in this situation.' That would have cost him something. I fear even if maybe Biden wasn't aware but Biden should've been aware that that would cause an issue for him."
Democratic lawmakers are pushing to impeach President Trump amid a whistleblower complaint related to a conversation with a foreign official about Hunter Biden's connection to Ukraine. Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D., Calif.) plans to bring the Ukraine discussion to the House floor on Wednesday.
SALIENT POINT: The Ukrainian prosecutor Joe Biden forced out was investigating Ukrainian money stolen from IMF;
he was fired when Joe Biden twisted his arm for investigating Hunter Biden’s extortion.
HMMMMMMM....Could be Obama kicked Joe’s *** ...... peeved their cut was Hunter's measly $3 million out of the missing $5 billion?

REFERECE: VP Biden Set Up Scenario for Meeting Between Top Ukrainian Officials and His Son’s Company

Quoting John Solomon: Let me add a new fact that I just learned tonight. While talking to US diplomats today overseas in Europe I learned that on April 22, 2014 less than three weeks before the Burisma Holdings announced that Hunter Biden was joining their board, Vice President Joe Biden met with the Prime Minister of Ukraine ......
.......and in that meeting, according to a that I obtained tonight.......
Joe Biden specifically encouraged the Ukrainians to expand natural gas production with the help of Americans coming to the country.
The VP set up the exact scenario that Hunter Biden just a few weeks later cashed in on.
agreed, and that fact that the so called whistle-blower does NOT qualify as such needs to be broadcast loud and clear.
BINGO!!!
The MOOCH will be The SAVIOR!! NEVER!
Whoever said that Rosemont was part of the Heinz Family Office?? NO ONE....it was Chris Heinz, Hunter Biden and Devon Archer!!
Perception is everything.......from the outside looking in, seems the shysters are panicking.
The Heinz family is getting tainted by the Bidens.
“Don’t get excited, this isn’t about Impeachment, it’s about getting rid of Biden and anointing a new candidate. The other democratic candidates truly believe they are actually running, however, behind the scenes the DNC chooses the candidate. Remember Hillary and the super-delegates?”
Wall Street hates Warren so she’s out. They also hate Bernie so he’s out. At that point the rats aren’t left with much.
Yes, this is about taking down Biden. I’ve said since day one he’d never make it to the primary and this is one giant step to accomplishing this. I’d thought the annointed ones would be Warren or Bernie with Kamala as VP. Oops, wrong on that since Kamala is dropping like a stone. Warren and Bernie are beating Biden right now. If the DNC waits a couple weeks, Uncle Creepy will be so low it won’t much matter but might as well end his chances once and for all. “You really don’t have to do this, Joe, you really don’t” was the writing on the wall.
Could be Moo or Hellary stepping in because, “It’s HER turn!!!” Please let it be Hellary so we can have a replay of the tantrums on election night.
Someone has to take over Biden's campaign infrastructure when he's had the fork stuck into him. Hillary was probably the plan, but she can't take any serious scrutiny this early in the game, nor could Obama's Mrs., so it's probably going to be a nearly unknown placeholder until Hillary can save the day. Good luck with that.
Gropin’ Joe’s buddies have thrown him into a coffin and are stomping on the lid. The media can’t keep the focus on Trump and appear to have been told to stop trying. That video alone would be enough to bury the poor fool and the fact that it’s still even up tells us that the deal is done.
Stick a fork in him, he's done.
They want Biden out. Using Trump as cover.
Hurt it? It sunk it.
So the search is on for the least unpalatable radical. :)
