State Department documents were buried for five years and finally uncovered that show that Burisma, the company Hunter Biden was a Board member of, paid a $7 million bribe to local prosecutors investigating the Ukrainian firm’s corruption.
John Solomon’s Just the News reported today:
Just eight months after Vice President Joe Biden’s son Hunter joined the board of Burisma Holdings, U.S. officials in Kiev developed evidence that the Ukrainian gas company may have paid a $7 million bribe to the local prosecutors investigating the firm for corruption, according to interviews and State Department memos.
State officials believed the alleged bribe was paid between May and December 2014 and got confirmation from one prosecutor. They argued the bribe amounted to a “gross miscarriage of justice that undermined months of US assistance” to fight corruption in Ukraine, contemporaneous memos show.
The concerns were eventually reported to the FBI, although it is not clear whether the allegations were ever investigated more fully, according to current and former U.S. and Ukrainian government officials.
The anecdote, buried in five-year-old diplomatic files, provides a fresh illustration of the awkward, uncomfortable conflict of interest State officials perceived as they tried to fight pervasive corruption in Ukraine under Joe Biden’s leadership while the vice president’s son collected large payments as a board member for an energy firm widely viewed as corrupt.
A short time after this Joe Biden was in the Ukraine demanding that a prosecutor looking into Burisma be fired before the Obama Administration would provide the Ukraine money desperately needed to keep the country afloat. Biden later bragged about this in a group interview:
.
About 2 months ago, source on AR radio said Hunter was still spending between $6-10 grand daily.
Of course, no one wants to look at Donor payments (ala John Edwards) - because they know what they’ll find.

The Ukraine deal is peanuts compared to the China deals.

We’ve been hearing from Dems for decades that Repubs have been using their political influence to make millions. We even hear it about Trump, but Trump hasn’t been involved in politics except since 2016.
How long has Biden been involved in politics?
How has he used political influence to enrich his family? For some reason Dems no longer want to hear such questions. The DOJ should investigate both families.
When you objectively review the corrupt dealings and enrichment of Joe Biden’s family in China and Ukraine, Kamala Harris’ husband in China, Pelosi’s son Peter in Ukraine, the Obama payouts from Netflix, just to list a few, it is reasonable to view the Democrat Party as a criminal conspiracy. Only a small fraction of the overt corruption, kickbacks, and bribes are known.
The Ukraine deal is peanuts compared to the China deals.I think it's in the same ballpark.
Hunter, thru his company, was a part of an advisory group that was managing 1.5 billion. A typical fee for that might be 15 to 30 million. He wasn't doing anything, just collecting his portion of the managment fee. Maybe $5 million a year, I'd guess.
He didn't get anywhere near the $1.5 billion principal.
State Department documents were buried for five years and finally uncovered that show that Burisma, the company Hunter Biden was a Board member of, paid a $7 million bribe to local prosecutors investigating the Ukrainian firm’s corruption.It's strange how our 'deep state' is drawn to corrupt counties to 'help' them.... or more likely to 'help themselves' to rip-off the misery of countries flailing in the world?
Odd how thugs at the Washington Post and The Atlantic haze no interest in writing about this... or publishing a book or two.
