Biden was warned by diplomat about Hunter's doings, and brushed him off: It stunk from the start

So much for the claim from Joe Biden that his foreign-cash-magnet son Hunter "did nothing wrong."

Turns out the 'wrong' was all over the place as a U.S. career diplomat, Deputy Secretary of State George Kent, tried hard to raise red flags with Biden himself about Hunter's little Ukrainian cash cow and instead of get taken seriously, got told by Biden's men to beat it.

Here's the Washington Post:

A career State Department official overseeing Ukraine policy told congressional investigators this week that he had raised concerns in early 2015 about then-Vice President Joe Biden’s son serving on the board of a Ukrainian energy company but was turned away by a Biden staffer, according to three people familiar with the testimony.

George Kent, a deputy assistant secretary of state, testified Tuesday that he worried that Hunter Biden’s position at the firm Burisma Holdings would complicate efforts by U.S. diplomats to convey to Ukrainian officials the importance of avoiding conflicts of interest, said the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of confidentiality rules surrounding the deposition.

Kent said he had concerns that Ukrainian officials would view Hunter Biden as a conduit for currying influence with his father, said the people. But when Kent raised the issue with Biden’s office, he was told the then-vice president didn’t have the “bandwidth” to deal with the issue involving his son as his other son, Beau, was battling cancer, said the people familiar with his testimony.

Being warned by a State Department official about Hunter’s Ukraine activities seems rather inconsistent with Quid Pro Joe’s claim of not knowing about Hunter’s Ukraine activities.

I guess Joe’s defense will have to be “I’m really stupid.”

Please. This just keeps the focus on Hunter.

In one universe, Hunter receives several millions into his fund. In a separate universe, over there, completely unrelated to this one, Biden Senior is conducting business and granting favors. Are the millions Hunter receives in anyway related to the favors his father grants? Of course not, they are in two completely separate universes. So when millions are paid, over here in this universe, and criminal charges are dropped, over in that universe, there is no way you can say that those two events are related.

According to the press. Even Fox seems uninterested in connecting those two, completely unrelated, completely disconnected events.
