CNN Contributor Admits Joe Biden Has a Ukraine Problem, Son Hunter Was Paid By Burisma For Influence-Peddling
Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden has some problems of influence-peddling with a Ukrainian company called Burisma, where he was placed on the board even though he had no experience in the gas industry or the energy industry, plus no experience with Ukraine’s economy or Ukrainian utilities and how they work there.
Hunter was paid over $85,000 a month combined with a consulting salary. How can someone be on the board of a company and a paid consultant at the same time? Only in the Democrat world.
On Tuesday, political scientist Ian Bremmer told CNN that the whole thing was an influence-peddling scheme that could hurt the former vice president’s 2020 campaign. Now you know why the Fake News media and Nancy Pelosi are attacking Trump using the best projection they can muster — by accusing Trump of the things that Biden has actually done.
“[Joe] Biden does have a problem here. I have to say $50,000 a month for Hunter Biden—clearly to be selling influence because otherwise, no one would ever pay him that kind of money—for a company that, frankly, was pretty corrupt and has been before and has been since under investigation,” Bremmer said.
Bremmer is the Time magazine editor-at-large, and president of Eurasia Group, which is why it’s amazing that he’s being open and honest about Biden’s troubles.
During an appearance on CNN’s New Day, he said that Hunter Biden was named to the board of Burisma, Ukraine’s largest private gas company, for his ability to sell influence during the Obama administration, and pick up a cool million-plus a year.
Bremmer argued that the former vice president more-than-likely was aware of his son’s ties to the company and its ongoing corruption woes.
“It’s hard to imagine Joe Biden wasn’t aware of it,” Bremmer said. “I expect that President Obama, if he had known about the reality of the situation, would’ve probably told Biden ‘get rid of this, we shouldn’t have your son working in this situation.’ That would have cost him something. I fear even if maybe Biden wasn’t aware, but Biden should’ve been aware that that would cause an issue for him.”
Vice President Joe Biden got his son the gig. There is no other way Hunter could have gotten that lucrative sweetheart deal. He simply did not have the skills needed for such a high position on the board of a gas company.
Joe Biden, as Vice President, threatened the Ukraine president to withhold $1 billion in U.S. aid unless he fired a chief prosecutor who happened to be investigating Burisma and Hunter Biden. Word is the prosecutor’s office was about to request to interview Hunter. Can you imagine what news of that would have done to the Democrat Party in the 2016 election?
