Former Polish President and Burisma Board Member: Hunter Biden Was Hired Because of His Father’s Political Influence

This is what you call a pay-for-play scandal.



New memos released last week reveal Burisma Holdings, Hunter Biden’s Ukrainian natural gas company, pressured the Obama State Department to help end the corruption investigation during the 2016 election cycle just one month before then-Vice President Joe Biden forced Ukraine to fire Viktor Shokin, the prosecutor probing his son Hunter.

Joe Biden bragged about getting Viktor Shokin fired during a 2018 speech to the Council on Foreign Relations.

The media immediately covered for Biden and said his targeting of Mr. Shokin was totally unrelated to the prosecutor’s corruption investigation into Hunter and Burisma Holdings.

New memos released because of a FOIA lawsuit filed by award-winning investigative reporter John Solomon show Burisma Holdings contacted the Obama State Department several times during the 2016 election to discuss ending the probe.

In fact, Burisma Holdings actually name-dropped Hunter Biden when requesting help from the State Department.

According to CD Media last week former Ukrainian official Oleksandr Onyshchenko said Hunter Biden was receiving “off the books” payments from Burisma in the millions.

On Tuesday CD Media posted leaked records of payments to Hunter Biden from Burisma Holdings totaling millions.

Via CD Media:
** Read about the payments here.

The documents show 46 payments to Hunter Biden’s company from Novembe 2014 to November 2015.

There were 38 payments for $83,333 totaling more than $3.1 million.

That is just one year of payments.

Hunter Biden worked on the Burisma board for several years.

Now this…

Former Polish President Aleksander Kwasniewski told the AP on Friday that Hunter Biden, who did not speak Ukrainian and had no experience in the oil or gas industry, was only hired by Burisma, which at times paid as much as $83,000 per month, due to the influence afforded by his name.

Breitbart.com reported:

Aleksander Kwasniewski, a former president of Poland who joined Burisma’s board around the same time as the younger Biden, told the Associated Press it was normal for corporations to seek out well-connected figures for advisory positions. The former president admitted that both he and Hunter Biden secured their posts with Burisma, which at times paid as much as $83,000 per month, due to the influence afforded by their names.

“I understand that if someone asks me to be part of some project it’s not only because I’m so good, it’s also because I am Kwasniewski and I am a former president of Poland,” Kwasniewski said. “And this is all inter-connected. No-names are a nobody. Being Biden is not bad. It’s a good name.”

The former president proceeded to claim that Hunter Biden was an integral part of the board, despite having no background in the energy sector and never once visiting Ukraine during his five-year tenure with Burisma.

No surprise there. It’s how DemoRats get rich.

I’m betting payments were funneled to the Halfican too.

Of course they were. 11 million netted during his 8 years on a $400,000 salary plus expenses? And $100M in vacations

"Go ahead - call Obama" (to see if he was authorized) . Joe Biden to the Ukranians....

And here I thought it was because of his integrity and work ethic.

No its not a surprise.
Care to say how long such has been going on?
Are you suggesting the Repuks don't take their turn?

Now the big question to you as you had to bring BHO into this.
Do you actually believe if there was any hint of his involvement that it would not have not been noted on top of this and all articles on this subject?

this is why folks go into politics in the first place. Access and influence are the name of the game. World wide, and in America too. How else do all those average folks in Congress and in the Civil Service retire with millions?

It’s all about the money they can steal!

It ain't just old Hunter. Lots of others did the same and they all need to be punished. Watch out Romney, Pelosi and Kerry. This money laundering scheme we taxpayers are paying for has to stop and it has to have a painful ending for the accused. that's why the swamp is fighting so hard. They have a lot to hide.

Of course, remember Billy Carter getting paid by the Arabs? Billy thought they just thought they wanted to give him some money.

later, "BillyGate".

Well......Duh. That's how democraps work.

Republicans too. Both sides of the aisle dance to that tune.

Ya don't sayyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

Yep, it's not just the Democrats getting rich.

Ike retired to a Pennsylvania farm with a herd of prize Angus cattle.

When you have influence, you have rich friends.

Years ago, I heard someone say......."I've seen a lot of poor Democrats, but I've never seen a poor Republican."

Now, that was a reference to voters, not politicians.

When you control the narrative in the news cycle, you can get away with pretty near anything.

This is a case in point. Trump discovers corruption going on with the Bidens. He asks the appropriate authorities to investigate. Those who control the narrative turn that on its head to where Trump was engaging in corruption for using his power to investigate a political opponent, a supposed impeachable offense. Trump is duly punished for his efforts to have corruption on the part of Democrats investigated.

Both sides have been doing this forever.

Remember the swamp, it needs to be drained of both sides.

Perhaps a reason why McConnell seems to be so slow in making anything happen so much of the time.

And perhaps a reason why there are so many R's playing "never Trumpers" role.

Ya think?

The Swamp is colorblind.

How could any normal, thinking logical no-idiot person think anything else????????????????

Just beyond my comprehension that people, anyone, could rationalize this away.
