Hunter Biden: What was he doing in Ukraine and China?
BBC | October 16 | Staff

Posted on 10/17/2020 6:05:51 AM PDT by PghBaldy

President Donald Trump has repeatedly accused his Democratic White House challenger Joe Biden of wrongdoing in regards to Ukraine and China while he was vice-president, which he denies.

The issue has resurfaced following a New York Post article about an alleged email in which an adviser from a Ukrainian energy company apparently thanked Mr Biden's son, Hunter, for inviting him to meet his father.

Asked about the allegations, Joe Biden told a reporter it was a "smear campaign".

I found it after looking at the tiger photo. Was a bit surprised it is there. Yes, the article tries to be extremely fair to Biden, says the Trumps are accused of things, but it mentions the Biden campaign does not categorically deny it.

Apparently, Hunter was doing everything in a skirt.

Oh, and picking up busloads of cash.

From Fox News: On Nov. 2, 2015, at 4:36 p.m., a Burisma executive called Vadym Pozharskyi emailed Hunter Biden and his business partner, Devon Archer. The purpose of the email, Pozharskyi explains, is to “be on the same page re our final goals … including, but not limited to: a concrete course of actions.”

So what did Burisma want, exactly?

Well, good PR, for starters. Pozharskyi wanted “high-ranking US [sic] officials” to express their “positive opinion” of Burisma, and then he wanted the administration to act on Burisma’s behalf.

“The scope of work should also include organization of a visit of a number of widely recognized and influential current and/or former US [sic] policy-makers to Ukraine in November, aiming to conduct meetings with and bring positive signal/message and support” to Burisma.

What was the goal of all this?

According to Pozharskyi to “close down for [sic] any cases/legal pursuits” against the head of Burisma in Ukraine.

In yet another of his well-practiced falsehoods, Joe Biden has said "he didn’t know anything" about Hunter's overseas business
ventures, and that Hunter was earning $50,000 a month--or more--on the board of the totally corrupt Ukrainian energy company.

This was at a time when Biden was Obama's point man in Ukraine.

Hunter's main job at Burisma was to "sell access," allegedly to top Obama officials, including his VP dad.

Burisma got that in spades (see NY Post link).

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

VIA Politico: Denial after denial until the emails surfaced, "Biden’s campaign now says it would not rule out
the possibility that VP Biden did, in fact, have some kind of informal interaction with Pozharskyi..."

REFERENCE---- .....Amos Hochstein, who worked for Biden when he was vice president in 2015, told Politico.....
(he) couldn’t definitively state Biden was never approached by Vadym Pozharskyi, an adviser to the board Burisma.

VP schedule

Biden denied meeting with the Burisma official who emailed personal thanks to Hunter for setting up the meeting...
Yet found on Biden's official VP schedule was a meeting at the Obama White House between VP Joe Biden
and the notorious George Soros and US Special Envoy and Coordinator of International Energy Affairs,
Amos Hochstein. Both are linked to Ukraine and energy policy.

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

Amos J. Hochstein (second left), then-special envoy and coordinator for intl energy affairs, meets with then-Pres
Obama and VP Biden. Hochstein, citing corrupt ways of Ukraine-owned energy company, Naftogaz, resigned as
a member of Naftogaz' independent supervisory board on Oct. 12, 2020.

We know a lot more today than we did yesterday. And, this article omits some really damaging things to Biden.

Hunyer was cashing in his family name and entangling his father in corruption.

The Chinese know Joe would think long and hard before cutting off Hunter from the management fees on $2 billion.

Not Joe, he said he knew nothing about his son’s business affairs. Hunter answered an ad in the Ukrainian Newspaper for ”oil company looking for American crack head businessman to serve on highly prestigious board of directors. No experience necessary”.

One thing no one has ever asked Hunter is “OK, you were a big time consultant. Show us some work product.”

All we hear is that he was a consultant on corporate governance. Show me some reports; some correspondence.

The only work product that’s showed up so far is what Rudy is producing.

“....and Mr Trump’s children have also been accused of conflicts of interest in lucrative business deals overseas. They, too, deny wrongdoing...”

I don’t recall the conflict of interest charges - can anyone refresh my memory?

I’m guessing there was cocaine involved, too.

Email scandals have the possibility of being very credible because people once reminded of the fact that emails exist in two places at least: the sender and the recipient. Corroborating things is easier and once those emails get confirmation it’s going to be easier to wrap Biden and the media in it. This destroys the momentum on their attacks on Trump and now have to play defense for both Biden and soon for themselves. Now we need to be clamoring for Twitter and Facebook be publishers and not a platform.

There are drugs there. So i6t would be a good reason for him to go there and while he was at it he could pick up some pocket change.
