It’s been known since at least 2019 that the president’s son received $83,000 a month to be on the board of Burisma. That money was paid to Hunter Biden despite him having no perceivable expertise in oil and gas and having never even worked in Ukraine.
So what exactly was he getting paid for? According to emails exchanged between Hunter Biden and his various business associates, the group was working to garner a U.S. visa for Mykola Zlochevsky, the founder of Burisma. Zlochevsky had previously been put on the U.S. State Department’s ban list after Ukraine’s 2014 revolution.
Was any of that criminal? It depends on how the DOJ chooses to enforce the law. The above report cites a FARA expert who says some lines may have been crossed. We have seen associates of Hunter Biden, seemingly doing the same things he was doing, get charged with FARA violations.
Are we really supposed to believe that almost everyone involved in these deals committed criminal acts except the president’s son? Per this latest email chain, they were all taking orders from him, yet he’s the one person not culpable?
