Top Romney Adviser worked with Hunter Biden on board of Ukrainian Energy Company
The Federalist ^ | 09.28.19 | Erielle Davidson

As Democrats and the media remain fanatically obsessed with assembling some form of a “quid pro quo” from the infamous Trump-Zelensky phone call, new details have emerged regarding Burisma, the company for which Hunter Biden worked and the company that Ukraine’s top prosecutor had been investigating before Vice President Joe Biden had the prosecutor fired via a months-long pressure campaign. According to web archives, top Mitt Romney adviser Joseph Cofer Black, who publicly goes by “Cofer Black,” joined Burisma’s board of directors while Hunter Biden was also serving on the board.

According to The New Yorker, Hunter joined Burisma’s board in April of 2014 and remained on it until he declined to renew his position this past May. Meanwhile, according to Burisma’s website, Black was appointed in February of 2017 and continues to serve on its board. The timelines would indicate that Black and Biden worked together at Burisma, and indeed, web archives from late 2017 show Black and Biden listed simultaneously on the board.

Black joined the CIA in 1974 and eventually climbed the ranks to become director of the National Counterterrorism Center from 1999 to 2002. In 2002, President George W. Bush appointed him ambassador at large and coordinator for counterterrorism. He later worked at Blackwater as a vice chairman before joining Romney’s campaign as a “special adviser” on Romney’s Foreign Policy and National Security Advisory Team in October of 2011. In 2017, Black joined the board of Burisma.

Only a coincidence. I’m sure the Biden/Burisma gang would never blackmail anyone.

“””””’Romney’s son also had a hand in the Ukrainian cookie jar...””””””””””””

It would appear that people who had kids and relatives working for Burisma don’t want President Trump to look into it.

Pelosi
Pierre Delecto
Kerry
Biden
I’m sure there are many others.

The Romneys belong on the other side of Trump’s Wall(The Great Wall of Texas)

Exactly. This would also party explain Romney’s vitriol.

More likely, Pierre Delecto threw the 2012 election after a promise of a pay-off (Burisma).

For various reasons, Ukraine was seen as a giant cookie jar, with lots of money to throw away on high profile, low skill jobs. If this happened in the Ukraine, it has probably happened in many other countries too. Maybe it’s still happening right now. No reason to think this old method would have stopped.

Notice, few of the actual participants (the Sons) are being directly asked about their involvement in the schemes. Hunter continues his cat and mouse game. Who’s going to ask Paul Pelosi or John Kerry’s son what they did?

So this is how it works.
USA votes billion of aide to all the countries of the world.
Congress votes for it understanding some of those dollars will becoming back to them.
This is how they get rich in office.
Thrump found out how it works and the Deep State is freaking out.

Romney is the epitome of a yellow-bellied RINO. He is as slimy and corrupt as any of the worst of the Democrats. And to top it off, he is a coward of the worst order.

Utah Republicans, I say this in all love: could you not do better than this guy? Please get out and help more conservative candidates.
