At least he's working in the White House and doesn't work for two foreign counties raking in millions per year......
Hunter Biden was on the board of Burisma, a private company, in the Ukraine, and his investment first did consulting work for Burisma in addition to his board position, and for a private investment company in China. He was not working for any government entity. Private company jobs pay better than the government work.
I know that Trump keep claiming that Hunter Biden was unqualified and a lout, but that's not true. He's a lawyer who has worked in business and investment all of his life. Yes, he's had drug poblems. Few families are immune to that stuff these days. It's not like he's Eric Trump, who ripped of St. Judes' children hospital and was investigated for fraud because of it! Trump's brother died of alcoholism so Trump has no room to speak.
Actually after the false investigation by the Russian they needed to repair there reputation so they hired not just Hunter but also the ex Polish President... This give investors confidence that there is a friendly face on the board and give them more trust.
People can complain about this or not but it is fairly standard business... GW Bush was a director of the The Carlyle Group and what did he know about financial services... I work in a Pharmaceutical company everyday and I know next to nothing about medical drugs, don't need work in that department.
Hunter was probably there to increase confidence and get investors..
And nothing attracts investors and gives confidence more than a drug addict kicked out of the military, and attended rehab three times.
Ray it is not you they are trying to impress you... He is a known name and they wanted that...
Or they wanted a favor. An email obtained using the FOIA displayed Berisma using Hunters name to curry favor with the State Department for meetings. That's just what we know about.
I have no doubt that Burisma thought that hiring Biden would get them favours in the US, but there is no evidence that it did. Biden fired the Ukrainian prosecutor because the guy refused to prosecute the money laundering case against Burisma, so it didn't stop Burisma from being prosecuted.
