So why did Burisma hire Hunter Biden?

SFGbob

O'Keefed screwed up his courage enough to lightly rap Hunter on the knuckles and concede that he was trading on his dad's name. But why would Burisma hire him in the first place? What were they getting out of the deal? We know what Hunter was getting, but what benefit was Burisma getting from hiring Hunter?

And spare me the GDS cock suck that they were getting a highly qualified lawyer who was well qualified to overlook high level contracts and business negotiations.

They didn't hire him. He was a paid board member. Maybe they needed access to hookers and blow. You telling me you hate hookers and blow now? @Swaye

Hookers and blow is not a partisan issue!

For the same reason the chicoms sent billions to Hunter's investment company. Slo Joe jumped to the defense of the chicoms when Trump went after their unfair trade practices. Once you buy a Biden they stay bought.

One reason is so they could use his name/connections to lobby the state department to get Ukraine to back off investigating Burisma. At least that's what some FOI emails showed.

No wonder the ambassador got fired

Gosh, if Burisma was using the fact that Hunter was on the BOD in order to proclaim their innocence and vouch for their lack of corruption, that sure seems like more than O'Keefed's sword swallowing act on behalf of Hunter where he dismissed the hire as nothing more than Hunter trading off his name.

Why does a oligarch controlled private company need a board?

An independent board is not required.

Likely potential future political favors. Next question.

PS. You do realize President Trump would likely be a nobody without his fathers seed money and significant influence in the real estate industry?

Hint: There's only two reasons - neither of which have anything to do with 'advisory' capacity.

I have no idea what they got. Maybe they believed they'd get something and were mistaken.

Tell us what they got, blob.
