So why did Burisma hire Hunter Biden?
Comments

Hired for his name and connections to the government through his family that he would use to influence policy to help Burisma. It’s not that hard

Sounds like Burisma got screwed then.MikeDamone said:Hired for his name and connections to the government through his family that he would use to influence policy to help Burisma. It’s not that hard

For political influence. I mean, if Biden Jr. had been a captain of [other] industry or otherwise important, then sure, public companies appoint people like that all the time. For sure, he didn't have to be an expert or PhD in whatever energy or mining or whatever it is that company does. Boards have directors from academia who've never worked in real life outside of the academy. I've dealt with them. The ENRON board had a guy from Yale who testified that he didn't know the business and just flew into Houston on a company plane for a nice lunch and dinner and some board comaraderie and listened to a bunch of shit he didn't understand and left. There's less of that now (precisely because of ENRON), but still ....SFGbob said: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.
With that said, Biden Jr.'s only real quals were his government connections. But even that isn't in and of itself that outlandish. Usually it's the person themselves who have the connection, ie, Biden Sr. In this case, it's the son.
So, in any context in which there is suspicion of monkey business between the company, a government and the US government, sure, it's ripe for questioning. But it's also fair to say, you don't need to be a specifically-impressive person to get on a board. There are a lot of board members out there who can't find their asses w/o someone helping them. -
Especially knowing grandpa hairy legs used quid pro quo to end the investigation into their corruption. Well son a a bitch...HHusky said:

You actually need evidence that his objective was ending the investigation. Without false equivalents, you gals would have any equivalents.MikeDamone said:

Demanding the investigation end is kind of a tellHHusky said:

For someone who has imagined Trump's guilt for four years your inability to see real evidence is hilarious -
So 2 + 2 isn't good enough for an investigation but it's good enough for impeachment. Got it.HHusky said:

You do realize that with just a little more effort you can get Obama’s cock further down your throat.HustlinOwl said:

PS. You do realize President Trump would likely be a nobody without his fathers seed money and significant influence in the real estate industry?
I forget, how much Federal tax revenue did Trump get from his father?

You got one reason for lackey board members reasonably correct:creepycoug said:

Those kind of board members are called 'shills'. And they are who the Chairman/CEO hides behind when shit hits the fan with the always chuckling "but the board approved it' defense.
