Hunter Biden corruption (hexbear.net)

Am I right in thinking there's always been something to this? As VP, Biden got his failson a cushy job (that AFAIK he wasn't at all qualified for) at a natural gas company in Ukraine, one of the most corrupt countries in Europe.

Is it just American lib tribalism that prevents them from saying this was not completely on the level, since it's mostly Trumpers going on about Hunter Biden? Obviously they've made up some bullshit too, but the Burisma thing to me is undeniable. I'm assuming there's an element of "Ukraine can't be criticized" at this point too.

it’s extremely obvious that there’s corruption, but libs will say that it’s legal so it’s okay. it’s only bad if it’s illegal corruption.

I don't think there is that much more to it than nepotism.

America does industrial corruption, this kind of shit is too low level.

Ukraine literally has a privatisation online store for selling state assets to the west at a huge discount.

Hey! Stop looking at the President's crack-addled son's previous 80K/mo gig on the board of directors at a foreign fossil fuel conglomerate, whose owner at the time is currently wanted by the Ukkkrainian police for bribing prosecutors. Cheeto!

Yeah but it doesn't seem worse than any other given president so the hysterics are just funny

It's not a coincidence that Biden is backing this Ukraine travesty and used his influence when he was VP to meddle with Ukraine's legal system while his fuckup son was mysteriously on the board of Burisma. I don't know what the details are but there's definitely some kind of corruption going on.

Apparently George W. Bush appointed Hunter to be on the board of directors of Amtrak.
