So much for that well-worn chestnut that Hunter Biden "did nothing wrong," heard so very frequently during President Trump's impeachment hearings.
For an $83,000 a month retainer from Burisma, the corrupt Ukrainian gas company, (Betsy McCaughey says he ended up with a $1 million payday) young Hunter proved to be very able and willing to make himself useful.
Look at this sequence of events that came about as a result of Hunter sitting on the Burisma board:
According to National Review:
A consultant for Burisma with links to Hunter Biden approached a top State Department official in June 2016 to discuss “troubling events” in Ukraine, according to newly released State Department emails.
Consultant Sally Painter of Blue Star Strategies was at the time working with Burisma, the Ukrainian natural gas company, to quash corruption investigations into the firm. Painter approached then-deputy secretary of state Tony Blinken at an event for the Truman National Security Project, and sent an email to Blinken’s top aide three days later requesting a second meeting with the deputy secretary.
“Per my conversation with Tony at the Truman event, [Painter’s Blue Star partner] Karen Tramontano and I would like to have a brief coffee with Tony at his earliest convenience regarding some troubling events we are seeing n [sic] Ukraine,” Painter wrote in a June 27, 2016 email first reported by the Daily Caller.
The email shows an instance of Burisma’s efforts to contact State Department officials at the same time it was being investigated for corruption. However, the email does not specify whether Painter discussed Burisma with Blinken. Other emails show that Tramontano had been in contact with the state department specifically regarding Burisma.

So … it was like a Quid Pro Quo?
A classic quid pro quo. And the news media and Democrats said Biden did nothing wrong. Yet when Trump tried to get answers to what was going on, he was impeached, and called corrupt.
Burisma wasn’t bribing the Biden crime family for no reason.
Of course the mass media is trying to hide the Easter Eggs.
We need some kids to get out there and find them!
Exactly!
Or like pay to play... can’t remember where I heard that one though...
Hello.... Are you awake. Listen, DEMOCRATS ARE NOT SUBJECT TO OUR LAWS. Period! Wake me when that fact changes.

Textbook example
What was the “policy makers” cut???
One potential irony in all of this will be after Biden drops out the media will still refuse to look into this because doing so would validate Trump.
Journalism is pretty much dead in the MSM. They are partisan shills for the democrats.
So my question is how much does a "State department policymaker" charge a bum like Hunter Biden for an influence meeting? I'd guess minimum $10k, plus dinner at the finest restaurant.
See why an outsider like DJT must be destroyed?
That was his only use. That’s the reason it’s so scummy.
Burisma owns many politicians.
The impeachment was all about covering up the bribery.
They got their moneys worth as did Hillary with her Russian fake document—cost a lot but she got a window into the Trump organization and blocked him for months. Best expense of cash she ever made.
