Hunter Biden Says In Memoir He Wouldn’t Take Burisma Job Again But Insists It Wasn’t ‘Unethical’
Fox News ^ | 04.03.2021 | Morgan Phillips

Posted on 04/03/2021 3:26:33 AM PDT by USA Conservative

Hunter Biden wrote in his new tell-all book that he does not regret taking a seat on the board of Burisma Holdings, but he would not do it again.

Biden was insistent that he had not done anything unethical in sitting on the board.

"Did I make a mistake by taking a seat on the board of a Ukrainian gas company? No. Did I display a lack of judgment? No. Would I do it again? No. I did nothing unethical," Biden said.

"Knowing all of that now: No, I would not do it again. I wouldn’t take a seat on Burisma’s board," he continued, citing former President Trump’s frequent attacks and the harm he’d tried to inflict on his father’s campaign.

The book, "Beautiful Things: A Memoir," was obtained by Fox News. It is scheduled for release on April 6.

Biden, in an at-times contradictory account of his time on the board, said that he was drawn to the five-figure-a-month salary so that he could spend more time with his brother Beau, who had recently been diagnosed with brain cancer.

"My five-year involvement on the board of Burisma Holdings … Ultimately has its roots, as does so much else in my life at the time, in the circumstances surrounding my brother’s grave illness," Biden said.

But, "Beau’s health problems didn’t prompt me to do something I wouldn’t have done otherwise," he added.

HUNTER: "My five-year $84,000 per month involvement on the board of Burisma Holdings … ultimately has its roots,
as does so much else in my life at the time, in the circumstances surrounding my brother’s grave illness," Biden said.

(GAG) Like father like son. Right out of the Biden Sucker Con Playbook.

It's Joe Biden's stump speech to the stupid people of Delaware who regularly packed the lamebrain off to our Congress.

Biden was known for getting votes by milking his wife's death ......then Beau's illness and death.

He knows about as much on natural gas production/sales....as he knows on 17th Century French literature. To accept a board position when you know your limits...it’s pretty crazy.

"Knowing all of that now: No, I would not do it again. I wouldn’t take a seat on Burisma’s board," he continued, citing former President Trump’s frequent attacks and the harm he’d tried to inflict on his father’s campaign all of the "special time" with naked pre-teens he missed out on and the many "crack-smoking" opportunities he was forced to forego. "But the $3.5 million wire transfer from Moscow did go a long way to funding my sex addiction," he added. "Of course, the best part: Absolutely no work was required of me! Sweet!"

Regards,

Simon and Schuster paid $3 million for this Biden sucker con?
Hunter's book, "Beautiful Things: A Memoir," scheduled for release on April 6, has some glaring omissions
WRT the live and loves of priapic crackhead Hunter.

Oh, wait, S/S will get a huge rate of return several times it's paying Hunter ......
hidden in Biden's 3 trillion dollar omnibus fraud....in the section on "For the Children."

'Defrauded' Investor Wants Hunter Biden's Bank Records From China
Daily Mail ^ | Dec 30, 2019 | Cheyenne Roundtree / FR Posted on 12/30/2019, 10:11:22 PM by White MAGA Man
A 'defrauded' investor has claimed Hunter Biden's bank records could help solve the mystery of billions of dollars that have gone missing in China, as he filed papers on Monday seeking to get involved in Biden's Arkansas paternity case.

Joel Caplan requested Judge Don McSpadden to make him a third party in Lunden Roberts' suit against Biden, asking the official to 'follow the money', according to court papers obtained by DailyMail.com. gas company, pressured the Obama State Department to help end the corruption investigation during the 2016 election cycle just one month before then-Vice President Joe Biden forced Ukraine to fire Viktor Shokin, the prosecutor probing his son Hunter.

CAUGHT ON TAPE Joe Biden bragged about getting Viktor Shokin fired during a 2018 speech to the Council on Foreign Relations.

The media immediately covered for Biden and said his targeting of Mr. Shokin was totally unrelated to the prosecutor’s corruption investigation into Hunter and Burisma Holdings.

New memos released via a FOIA lawsuit filed by award-winning investigative reporter John Solomon show Burisma Holdings contacted the Obama State Department several times during the 2016 election to discuss ending the probe.

In fact, Burisma Holdings actually name-dropped Hunter Biden when requesting help from the State Department. According to CD Media last week former Ukrainian official Oleksandr Onyshchenko said Hunter Biden was receiving “off the books” payments from Burisma in the millions.

On Tuesday CD Media posted leaked records of payments to Hunter Biden from Burisma Holdings totaling millions.

The Burisma board meetings release shows Hunter at his best---a true son of Ireland----a playful raconteur who loved to play games.

And Hunter never licked even one envelope. (Joe Biden hot half of everything Hunter got.)

Funny, I don’t recall books from Nixon’s or Ford’s or Carter’s or either Bush’s kids. And the one written by Patti Davis was some time after her father left office.

A Hunter Biden “memoir “ sounds like an incredible waste of time and natural resources.

I knew Beau Biden.

I know he’s dead now but he was the WORST, the absolute WORST, Attorney General a state has ever known.

Met Beau personally, shared a cigarette with the guy.

The tales I could tell.

But Beau did die kind of tragically but man, he was owned, lock, stock and barrell by the medical community here in Delaware.

Beau loved to make fun of his father.

Ahhhhh.....let me shut up.

Oh, and Beau was best buddies with Kamala Harris, who was also an Attorney General.

Now I shut up.

T-H-A-N-K YOU for the Biden inside dope.....enjoyed it. Post more when you're up to it.

Beau was being groomed by Joe for higher office. Hunter was also supposed to take his
place as an eternal Biden Delaware Rep....but Hunter let his wandering penis takeover his common sense

Hunter needed to be resurrected......now that his old man is (the alleged) president, there's big fish to fry.

A sure sign that Hunter is once again among the living is that Joe Biden has ditched
his Flub-a-Dub Act, to protect Hunter and himself from the long arm of the law.

Joe is now doing his "I'm America's Savior Act."

S&S has been used to pay bribes to many liberals (that need to be kept quiet) during the political season.

But why would Faux News feel the need to promote a book that is so obviously a payoff to the Biden family?

Three Million for a book by a ghostwriter, and TV promotion for a book that won't sell 10,000 legit copies?

Stinks again.

It was at the Delaware State Fair. I was manning the Republican party table and Beau comes marching in, all full of himself, and goes to the Democrat party table which faced the GOP table.

I didn’t know who he was and asked my GOP buddy.

I went outside to get a cigarette and Beau comes out and joins me. I am, or was, considerable older than him so I don’t think it was a flirtation. I think he wanted to impress the opposition.

Anyway, as cigarette smokers do, we talked. Everyone knew that making fun of Joe Biden, then our state Senator, was a Delaware past time.

So Beau tells me funny stories about his father, mostly involving dogs, coincidentally.

He was very charming.

But a lousy DA, allowing a pervert pediatrician to remain active on Route one that I somehow got involved with.

But I’m done being boring.

What’s in the laptop must be very bad if they hired someone to do a memoir for him.

The Biden con book will be on the best seller list----for weeks.

The Bidens have hired the company that goes around w/ a U-haul, buying up huge numbers of Hunter's books.

These businesses know which book stores are used to tally the best seller list
