Poll: Majority say Hunter Biden's role on Ukrainian energy board was bad judgment
The Hill ^ | 11/01/19 | JULIA MANCHESTER

Posted on 11/01/2019 4:07:33 PM PDT by Libloather

A majority of Americans say Hunter Biden’s role on the board of a Ukrainian energy company was the result of bad judgment, according to a new Harvard CAPS/Harris poll.

Fifty-eight percent of respondents said that Hunter Biden’s role on the board of Burisma Holdings between 2014 and 2019 was a result of “bad judgment.”

Twenty-seven percent of those polled said they thought it was illegal for former Vice President Joe Biden's son to serve on the board.

Hunter Biden is not accused of any crimes for being a board member on Burisma.

"When told about Hunter Biden’s financial deals in the Ukraine and China, voters did not think they were crimes but overwhelmingly saw them as bad judgment," Mark Penn, the co-director of the Harvard CAPS/Harris poll said in a statement to The Hill. "About half the electorate believed Hunter Biden should return all the money has received from these ventures."

They’re changing the goal posts again. Biden Jr. is not the one who threatened Ukraine president with loss of funds.

100% of people who know what a protection racket is think that what Joe Biden did was wrong. Hunter Biden could stand on his head and spit nickels for Burisma while getting paid $50,000 a month and it would not matter. When Burisma was being investigated by a Ukrainian prosecutor Joe Biden coerced the Ukrainian president with $1B in aid to fire him and have the cases against Burisma dropped. Biden said it was because the prosecutor was corrupt but how would he know? And even if he thought he was, that should have been a legal matter for Ukraine not the US VP.

The reality is that he was fired because he couldn’t be corrupted by the Obama administration into prosecuting a Ukraine citizen, Dmitry Firtash, with no evidence just because they didn’t like him politically. Sic sempre tyrannis.

Polls are about as worthless and as reliable as Adam Schiff and telling the truth

Cannot understand why they continue to be posted when we all know they are fake

“Bad judgement ? Why was that even included as a possible response?”

Because that’s how the media wants it framed and repeated.

Come on, man. Don't just name drop and run!

Ukrainian Oligarch Firtash Loses Fight Over U.S. Extradition
The decision to hand him over now lies with the Austrian Ministry of Justice.

“We are disappointed in today’s decision,” Firtash’s U.S. lawyers Dan Webb and Lanny Davis said in a statement. “In any event, nothing has changed regarding Mr. Firtash’s innocence and the absence of evidence that he is guilty of any crime.”

Look who pops up with regards to that name!

Having Lanny Davis as your lawyer isn't a good sign of your innocence.

It sure appears to me that the emoluments clause to the US Constitution was violated. Or is that not an American law?

Hmm Bill Clinton’s pollster and now Bill Clinton fixer. Wonder who else is going to show up in this scam? Like the Muller clown show, starting to look like Democrats might really not want the US People looking too closely under this rock.

Love how they constantly try to deflect daddy Biden’s corruption by making it about Hunter.

Look at how many times the names of his legal team is left out in this article at TIME

Exclusive: How a Ukrainian Oligarch Wanted by U.S. Authorities Helped Giuliani Attack Biden
...Firtash’s lawyer... or ...the Firtash legal team... and ...lawyers acting for Dmitry Firtash.

And trying to link the administration to him.
As transparent as Saran Wrap.

They only show two choices:
"Bad Judgement" and "think it was illegal"

Either way he is in the wrong.

How can it be bad judgement to cash big checks?

If the pollster asks dumb questions they get dumb answers!

Shades of Comey saying HRC didn’t really mean to break the law and no reasonable prosecutor would indict her.

Same crap from the same bastard deep staters.
