So why did Burisma hire Hunter Biden?

    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.

    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 ....

    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.
    What’s the number of crack heads on BODs?
    I would hope very low. Did the company know that before hand? Don't know. Would it have mattered. Don't know that either. I mean, there are crack heads, like the ones I walk over and around in Seattle every day, and there are rich boys who do shit in private. One of the beauties of having wealth, earned or otherwise, is that you can be a complete degenerate addict and still clean up and look pretty because the $$ doesn't run out which means you still have a roof over your head, food in your belly and a shower. And access to rehab.

    So while not exactly a frequent occurrence, I'm sure there are directors on PC boards who have skeletons in their closets. Having means ... means you can hid your shit much more effectively than an average person.

    I'm not trying to argue this point. I have little to no doubt that access to the Veep was the reason he was appointed. What came of that it another matter. Being the son of either wealthy or otherwise powerful people has its perks. We knew that already.

    My only point is that it's not shocking that a guy like Biden would be appointed to a board of directors even though he's not a super star anything. But of course it's open for scrutiny. It's just that the scrutiny doesn't begin and end with his lack of experience in the relevant industry or other lack of business qualifications.

    How many boards did Bush Jr serve on? I'm sure he didn't trade on his dad's name at all.

    It was common knowledge that Hunter was kicked out of the military for coke use. It was also common knowledge that was a Biden is bought he stays bought.

    Took less than a 1000 posts here before it became common knowledge you're an idiot.

    Holy shit!!!! Hunter Biden did coke?! Joe Biden should go to jail for treason!

    Big difference between doing coke and being a cokehead. Things you should know, but leftards thrive on intentional ignorance.

    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.
    Especially knowing grandpa hairy legs used quid pro quo to end the investigation into their corruption. Well son a a bitch...
    You actually need evidence that his objective was ending the investigation. Without false equivalents, you gals would have any equivalents.
    Demanding the investigation end is kind of a tell

    For someone who has imagined Trump's guilt for four years your inability to see real evidence is hilarious
    If that was the demand you’d have a great point. It wasn’t so as usual you don’t

    Bush doing coke is ok. Hunter doing coke, we must impeach Biden. Lol

    Bush stopped doing coke. Cokeheads like Hunter don't. Bush impregnate any strippers and lie about it? One is not like the other. A weak lame ass moral equivalency argument.

    Now. Right now. Is where you care about someone lying? A stripper is not ok to lie about. But a porn star.... Can lie about that and pay her off. And lie about that too.

    El oh fucking El.. can't wait to see what you come up to justify that.

    We have a taped confession

    How pathological of a liar are you?

    I'm not going to turn this into some big defense of Hunter Biden's appointment, and I freely confess I'm not an expert on Jr.

    I would expect any decent company to do a background check on anybody they appoint to the organization's highest governing body. But I've been around long enough to know shit gets missed. Dishonorable discharge? I would hope not, but I expect stranger things have happened.

    Doing coke and smoking crack are two different things. The S&P 500 is loaded with board members and CEOs that have done coke, though probably very few got booted from the military for it.

    The investigation Slow Joe squashed was into Burisma. Not Hunter in particular. Many forget that. Those emails are damming.

    HB had zero business being on any BOD. I have called on many over my career and have set one up in my own business, this idea that a low life piece of shit son of a VP of the USA is put on the board and paid millions without any back scratching is pure obliterated Bullshit.

    When Burisma and hunter needed the dumbass biden, he came through for them and forced a quid pro quo. You get rid of the investigation into Burisma and my son and I will release the billion dollars. The dumb son of a bitch bragged about it. Burisma got what they paid for and now we get on here and we see rats making up excuses and trying to ignore the obvious corruption.

    We know biden and his son are corrupt, what I want to know is how many millions made it to biden seniors pockets. Did any of the billion $'s worth of tax payer money get funneled to hunter or senior?

    All this evidence and the dumbass owl wants to talk about Trumps father giving his son money to start his own business. What a fucking group of idiots you rats are.

    Who here is ignoring the corruption? I'm pretty sure every "liberal" here has said to investigate them. Trump has Barr at his disposal. If Hunter and Joe are corrupt, take them down. It's almost like you don't actually read anything here and just post talking points crying about things being unfair for conservatives.

    You would think an admission of guilt captured on video would suffice.

    I missed the part where he bragged about stopping the investigation of Burisma. Link?
