If Hunter Biden’s lips are moving, if there’s air coming in and out of his lungs, there’s a good chance he’s telling you a lie. Don’t look surprised. Lying is a common genetic trait passed down from father to son. Hunter is only behaving the same way his dad, President Joe Biden, does on a daily basis. This is what he grew up around. When you are raised by someone who believes the best way to get ahead is to tell whoppers, well, you’re probably going to develop a proclivity toward telling some of your own.
Which is why I’m not too keen to believe the younger son of Joe Biden when he says the reason Burisma paid him a hefty sum to make the company more “Western-looking.” I’m sure it had nothing to do with attempting to utilize the political power of his then-vice president father.
via The Daily Caller:
Hunter Biden gave a closed-door deposition Wednesday with the House Oversight Committee as part of House Republicans’ impeachment inquiry into Joe Biden. The first son originally defied a congressional subpoena and refused to participate in a closed-door deposition in December 2023. In addition to lawmakers grilling Hunter Biden about whether his father was involved in his foreign business dealings, the first son also detailed his responsibilities while at Burisma.
“What types of services did you provide on the board? I mean, you were making a million a year, Burisma. What were you doing for that million?” a congressional member asked, according to the testimony.
“And my responsibilities were like any other board member, to attend board meetings, to be aware of what the management was doing to try to strive for, you know, accountability, transparency, openness in terms of the reporting, to go through the financials and make certain that the financials were certified by a CPA,” Hunter Biden responded.
I really feel like he’s leaving something out here. Like the part where he used his dad’s influence to help get rid of a prosecutor who was beginning to investigate the company for corruption?
“The whole idea was that it was a private company that was operating in Ukraine for a very long period of time in that part of the world, which doesn’t have the same high standards that the West does. And that was my goal in trying to provide a more Western-looking and acting company,” the president’s son added.
The Ukrainian energy company hired the first son in the spring of 2014 to serve on the company’s board. He was paid more than $80,000 per month while his father, who was the vice president at the time, was in charge of the Obama administration’s Ukraine policy, bank records show.
So if none of this was about the fact that Hunter was essentially paid a healthy sum of money for access to his father, then why did the company slash his salary when Donald Trump became president? Interesting, right?
“Burisma agreed to pay the Defendant an annual salary of approximately $1,000,000, to be paid in monthly disbursements. In March 2017, Burisma reduced his compensation to approximately $500,000 a year but he continued to serve on the board of directors until in or around April 2019. As a result, he received a total of approximately $1,002,016 in 2016, $630,556 in 2017, $491,939 in 2018, and $160,207 in 2019,” the indictment said.
Hunter Biden’s closed-door testimony with House Republicans failed to produce any significant, new lines of inquiry into their impeachment effort against President Biden, though the first son did appear to continuously have lapses in his memory while often contradicting himself. The first son noted that he “could not recall” information about his meetings and business deals at least 29 times but was confident that his dad was not involved in any way.
Right. And I’m the Easter Bunny.
This guy really thinks the American people are foolish enough to believe the junk he’s spinning. I sincerely hope there is more evidence found that can be used to bring the Biden family down and hold them accountable for their crimes.
