What Hunter Biden did on the board of Ukrainian energy company Burisma.

.

.
"Interviews with more than a dozen people, including executives and former prosecutors in Ukraine, paint a picture of a director who provided advice on legal issues, corporate finance and strategy during a five-year term on the board, which ended in April of this year [2019].
.
"Biden never visited Ukraine for company business during that time, according to three of the people.
.
"They also said that his presence on the board didn’t protect the company from its most serious challenge: a series of criminal investigations launched by Ukrainian authorities against its owner, Mykola Zlochevsky, a multimillionaire former minister of ecology and natural resources. The allegations concern tax violations, money-laundering and licences given to Burisma during the period where Zlochevsky was a minister. ..."

Trump Scammed Supporters Out of $250 Million for Nonexistent Fraud Fund
"Supporters who thought they were donating to "election integrity" instead saw some of their money funneled to Trump hotels. ..."
.
"The Trump campaign sent “millions” of emails to Trump supporters about how they needed to “step up” to protect election integrity, according to the Jan. 6 committee. The money would go to the so-called the “Official Election Defense Fund” — which doesn’t appear to have actually existed, according to testimony.
.
"The fund — which, again, did not actually exist — raised $250 million, most of which did not go to election litigation, but to Trump’s newly created Save America PAC. The PAC then made contributions to Mark Meadows’ charity, to a conservative organization employing former Trump staffers, to the Trump Hotel Collection, and to the company that organized the rally that preceded the attack on the Capitol last Jan. 6. ..."

How Donald Trump Shifted Kids-Cancer Charity Money Into His Business.
.
"... The best part about all this, according to Eric Trump, is the charity's efficiency: Because he can get his family's golf course for free and have most of the other costs donated, virtually all the money contributed will go toward helping kids with cancer. "We get to use our assets 100% free of charge," Trump tells Forbes.
.
"That's not the case. In reviewing filings from the Eric Trump Foundation and other charities, it's clear that the course wasn't free--that the Trump Organization received payments for its use, part of more than $1.2 million that has no documented recipients past the Trump Organization. Golf charity experts say the listed expenses defy any reasonable cost justification for a one-day golf tournament.
.
Additionally, the Donald J. Trump Foundation, which has come under previous scrutiny for self-dealing and advancing the interests of its namesake rather than those of charity, apparently used the Eric Trump Foundation to funnel $100,000 in donations into revenue for the Trump Organization. ..." [The Donald J. Trump Foundation has since been shut down for fraud and fined $2 Million.]

Re: Sure. Because Hunter Biden sat on the board…
…of a Ukrainian oil company because he knows so damn much about oil and Ukraine. Gimmie a break, Nicky. Now if we found out that Hunter Biden sat as a member of a company that produced crack and crack pipes, then maybe that wouldn’t be so unusual. If he ran a lost and found for reuniting owners with their lost laptops, that would totally be believable. Even if I found out he ran a strip club and knocked up half the employees. Very believable. But a Ukrainian oil company? No fucking way something shady isn’t going on.
