Former Vice President Joe Biden claimed he never discussed Hunter Biden’s business dealings in Ukraine. However, a July article from The New Yorker belies that contention.
“I have never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings,” Biden told Fox News reporter Peter Doocy on Saturday in Iowa before calling on President Donald Trump to be investigated over a phone call he made to Ukraine’s president.
The New Yorker article, titled “Will Hunter Biden Jeopardize His Father’s Campaign?” is an in depth look at Hunter Biden’s life and business dealings. It also contains a segment where Hunter apparently recalled discussing Ukrainian natural-gas producer Burisma “just once.”
In December, 2015, as Joe Biden prepared to return to Ukraine, his aides braced for renewed scrutiny of Hunter’s relationship with Burisma. Amos Hochstein, the Obama Administration’s special envoy for energy policy, raised the matter with Biden, but did not go so far as to recommend that Hunter leave the board. As Hunter recalled, his father discussed Burisma with him just once: “Dad said, ‘I hope you know what you are doing,’ and I said, ‘I do.’ ”
The inconsistency was pointed out on Twitter by Daily Mail U.S. political editor David Martosko:

"If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?"
Hang them both. Or at least ride them out of town on a rail.
Biden can’t remember if he woke up this morning.
“If a man is alone in a forest, and his wife isn’t around to hear him, is he still wrong?”
Biden another good old boy club member gets nailed things ain’t the same any more.
How would he remember?
Americans love a father who will throw his own son under the bus. What a brilliant election strategy!
Drugs, kicked out of military, scandals, pregnancies, affairs....
Did he discuss Hunter’s coke addiction? His discharge from the navy under a cloud? Does he know he has a son named Hunter?
....Amos Hochstein, the Obama Administration’s special envoy for energy policy, raised the matter with Biden....
So, 0blama was as aware of these dealings and, likely discussions, as Creepy Joe was.
But I guess he just randomly has prosecutors fired and it had nothing to do with his son.
When someone says, “I’d like to introduce Joe Biden!” He looks around to see if he knows him.
That’s what got Abraham elected to the Jerusalem Board of Estimates. Offering up Isaac on the altar made for great election-year photography.
huh?
What’s a conflict of interest? I wasn’t interested in what my degenerate coke-snorting son did, and I’m still not. Hunter, I disown you! I should have done it the day you were born, but your mother said I gotta change your diaper. I never forgave her for that. What year is it?
When ‘defending’ Biden,
they will say he has a small problem remembering the little things-
AFTER all he is 74.

Right wing hacks/White Supremacists WRONG and racist/ageist saying Biden is to ‘old’ for office.
The rats are used to their alphabet media covering for them. Alternative media spoils their parade.
No matter what any of them says. The whole story doesn’t compute in terms of conflict of interests. The prosecutor Biden forced fired was on the case of Burisma Holding laundering money through Lithuania and Croatia. Who would believe it is not related to the fact that Hunter was put on board of Burisma? How does it make sense for him to be on board of Burisma at all? What is Hunter’s expertise in gas business or East European affairs in general?
Bernie is 78, but nobody brings up his age.
