"Hunter (Biden) was being paid $50,000/month at his position at Burisma Group, an energy company and a sector of the economy that Biden has zero experience.'Lobbying.' I have it on good authority that Democrats feel lobbyists are bad political actors and should be demonized. Insert 'Fen's Law,' here.
As the son of then-Vice President Joe Biden, it seems pretty clear that he was there selling access. That’s the allegation. It’s a question that hasn’t gone away, and one that has irritated Joe Biden to no end. And now we’re hearing that Joe Biden was also paid $900,000 which was part of his lobbying fee on behalf of Burisma."
More importantly, was it then-V.P. Joe, or out-of-office Joe, who was allegedly paid a $900,000 lobbying fee on behalf of Burisma. What year did this payday occur?
This why there needs to be a joint Ukraine/USA criminal investigation into the 'most transparent, scandal-free administration' - EVUH. Right, Obama?
So, how do we know about Joe's nearly-million dollar lobbyist
Ukrainian MP Reports Biden Received $900K from Burisma for Lobbying Activities
"But accepting funds from a foreign corporation, or any corporation, sounds a little over the top, especially given the tremendous risks associated with it. Would Biden gamble his reputation and his future on a payment of $900,000? It seems unlikely.Again, this why there needs to be a joint Ukraine/USA criminal investigation.
On the other hand, why would a member of parliament make a completely unwarranted accusation against a former U.S. Vice President?"
So, how was this allegedly accomplished?
"(Ukraine MP Andriy) Derkach publicized documents which, as he said, "describe the mechanism of getting money by Biden Sr." at a press conference at Interfax-Ukraine's press center in Kyiv on Wednesday. -InterfaxThe mere appearance of this impropriety from someone at the highest level of elected office hasn't stunk this bad since Richard Nixon's former V.P Spiro Agnew resigned in 1973 under suspicion of criminal conspiracy, bribery, extortion and tax fraud.
"This was the transfer of Burisma Group's funds for lobbying activities, as investigators believe, personally to Joe Biden through a lobbying company. Funds in the amount of $900,000 were transferred to the U.S.-based company Rosemont Seneca Partners, which according to open sources, in particular, the New York Times, is affiliated with Biden. The payment reference was payment for consultative services," said Derkach.
Derkach also puiblicized sums of money transferred to Burisma Group representatives - including Joe Biden's son Hunter.
"According to the documents, Burisma paid no less than $16.5 million to [former Polish President, who became an independent director at Burisma Holdings in 2014] Aleksander Kwasniewski, [chairman of the Burisma board of independent directors] Alan Apter, [Burisma independent director] Devon Archer and Hunter Biden [who joined the Burisma board of directors in 2014]," Derkach added.
"Using political and economic levelers of influencing Ukrainian authorities and manipulating the issue of providing financial aid to Ukraine, Joe Biden actively assisted closing criminal cases into the activity of former Ukrainian Ecology Minister Mykola Zlochevsky, who is the founder and owner of Burisma Group."
Let's not forget what got this nasty turd rolling downhill. It was a mere three weeks ago that this video re-surfaced: Joe Biden implicates himself and his former boss in a crime. Biden bragged in front of an audience at the CFR last year about withholding $1 billion in Ukraine aid unless the prosecutor investigating Burisma Holdings was fired.
"Withholding $1 billion in Ukraine aid" is also known as Quid Pro Quo with your tax dollars. It's a crime.
“I said we’re not going to give you the billion dollars. They said ‘you can’t do that, you have no authority, you’re not the president,'” Biden remarked. “I said call [President Obama], I told you you’re not getting a billion dollars.”Related: Ukraine President Zelensky Says He Will ‘Happily’ Investigate Ukrainian Meddling In 2016 US Election
Biden said he gave Ukrainian government officials a six-hour window before he
would leave Ukraine and said, “If the prosecutor’s not fired, you’re notgetting the money.”
"Allegations about Ukrainian involvement in the election have received far less attention than the Trump-Russia collusion conspiracy theory.What did Obama know and when did he know it?
The Ukraine allegations center on a DNC operative’s links to Ukrainian embassy officials as part of an effort to dig up dirt on Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort."
