"Nobody warned me about a potential conflict of interest, and i just wasn't smart enough to figure it out on my own..."

Joe Biden asserted that he never heard worries that his son Hunter Biden's role on a Ukrainian gas company could create a conflict of interest.
"Nobody warned me about a potential conflict of interest," Biden said Friday in an interview with NPR. "I never, never heard that once at all."
Hunter Biden was on the board of Burisma, a Ukrainian gas company, while his father was vice president and working on Ukrainian policy. President Trump asked the Ukrainian president this year to investigate the Bidens, prompting Democrats to launch impeachment proceedings against Trump.
George Kent, a top State Department official, testified during impeachment hearings in November that he raised conflict of interest concerns after he learned Hunter Biden was on Burisma's board.
“In February 2015, I raised my concern that Hunter Biden’s status as a board member could create the perception of a conflict of interest,” Kent said. “Let me be clear, I did not witness any effort by any U.S. official to shield Burisma from scrutiny."
Joe Biden told NPR that if Kent raised the issue with his staff, they did not tell him about it likely because his late son Beau Biden was battling cancer.
"Well, my son was dying so I guess that's why he said it, because my son was on his deathbed. But that that's not the reason why — they should have told me," Biden said.

Look at this asshole wrapping himself in the cloak of his dead son.
Joe Biden, American scumbag.
This doesn’t add up:
“In August 2013, he would undergo surgery at MD Anderson Cancer Center at the University of Texas in Houston to remove a lesion. That was followed by radiation treatment and chemotherapy. Three months after the procedure, doctors gave him a clean bill of health.
However, Biden suffered a recurrence and was admitted to Walter Reed Hospital in May[2015], officials said. At that time though, it was unaware why he was being treated.”
Beau Biden was in remission in Feb 2015. Cut the malarkey!
He wasn’t calling him Fatso.
He was going to address the man as “Fat Ass.”
That’s the derogatory term that follows “fat” when you are insulting someone.
It blows my mind that no one on TV or radio seems to be able to make this connection.
I'd like to think that, too. He is really fading.
But, I thought the same thing in 2012 when he debated Paul Ryan, and was clearly the winner. Having little to no impulse control, and no shame makes him glib. But, several years of decline make him gaffe-prone.
After his son died, nobody _ever_ had the courage to tell him the bad news—not for days, weeks, months, years!
That is Joe’s story and he is sticking to it.
“Nobody warned me about a potential conflict of interest,”
because apparently Jo is too stupid to figure out basic stuff like that on his own and has to have a minder of some sort to guide his every move ...
it’s very evident that Bidn does not have the wherewithal to think for himself and is truly a hollow front-man for behind-the-curtain forces to manipulate like a puppet having its strings pulled ... and that’s exactly the kind of President that Bidn would be ...
That's because Democrats don't have to worry about silly little things like laws.
Hahahaha. What an incredible liar. Hahahahaha. The extended biden family are criminals. ALL should be arrested for their crimes and waterboarded with prejudice. Their ill-gotten assets should be seized. What a bum and oaf.
My dog ate the conflict of interest warning.
My dog ate the conflict of interest warning.
Once again exploiting a family tragedy.
That’s all this govt grifter has known, and done, his entire ‘career’.
I wonder when Pelosi will start getting asked about her son, Paul Jr’s Ukraine involvement.
Maybe that’s why they’re all acting crazy....a defense manuever.
Yep. They’re ALL d@mn LIARS.
Poor Joe must be in a stupor mulling over the line from the movie Walk Hard...”The wrong kid died”.
Of course he didn't witness it...…..He DID it!
"Nobody warned me about a potential conflict of interest, and i just wasn't smart enough to figure it out on my own..."
Implausible deniability. Biden is feebly attempting to grow an alibi cover story and planting it in friendly NPR soil where it will be nurtured and given credence so the rest of the leftist press can propagate it.
“President Trump asked the Ukrainian president this year to investigate the Bidens, prompting Democrats to launch impeachment proceedings against Trump.”
Where was that documented? Can someone point me to the transcripts of Trump asking Zelensky to investigate the Bidens?
