So, if Burisma did not use their supposed hiring of Hunter Biden to be on their board as a way of passing bribes to Joe Biden's clan, along with joes brother as well, then what gave them the idea to have Hunter on their board? $600k a year is a lot of simoleans especially in the Ukraine. Why would Burisma hire him and what process was used?
Hunter is a history major with some classes in law school, so I guess that means he had a failed law career that was converted into lobbying, but was rescued with appointment to membership on the board of Amtrak by George W Bush. Wow, life as a Swamp creature is surely nice.
He quit that job as soon as his father became VP, and he set up an investment firm called "Rosemont Seneca Partners".
But what did Hunter bring to the table for $600k a year?
Was it Hunter Bidens skill speaking Ukrainian got him the job? Hmm, well he doesn't speak Ukrainian.
Was it Hunter Biden's stirling character? He is a crack head kicked out of the Navy for failing the drug tests, lol., so that does not sound likely.
Was it Hunter's knowledge of the gas drilling industry? Marketing? hardware skill with piping gas to customers in Europe? Um, well no, Hunter does not have any such knowledge.
Maybe they got his resume off Monster.com or some Kievan job staffing company?
Perhaps it was Hunter Bidens expertise with ethics and connections with the US government? I know that sounds like an oxymoron, but lets stretch our imaginations just a bit.
My Gawd, it is indeed sweet being a Democrat.

The small fund grew quickly. According to an email revealed as part of a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation, Rosemont described themselves as “a $2.4 billion private equity firm co-owned by Hunter Biden and Chris Heinz,” with Devon Archer as “Managing Partner.”
The partners attached several branches to the Rosemont Capital trunk, including Rosemont Seneca Partners, LLC, Rosemont Seneca Technology Partners, and Rosemont Realty.
Of the various deals in which these Rosemont entities were involved, one of the largest and most troubling concerns was Rosemont Seneca Partners.
Rather than set up shop in New York City, the financial capital of the world, Rosemont Seneca leased space in Washington, DC. They occupied an all-brick building on Wisconsin Avenue, the main thoroughfare of exclusive Georgetown. Their offices would be less than a mile from John and Teresa Kerry’s 23-room Georgetown mansion, and just two miles from both Joe Biden’s office in the White House and his residence at the Naval Observatory....
Some of their transactions are nevertheless traceable by investigating world capital markets. A troubling pattern emerges from this research, showing how profitable deals were struck with foreign governments on the heels of crucial diplomatic missions carried out by their powerful fathers. Often those foreign entities gained favorable policy actions from the United States government just as the sons were securing favorable financial deals from those same entities.
Nowhere is that more true than in their commercial dealings with Chinese government-backed enterprises.
Rosemont Seneca joined forces in doing business in China with another politically connected consultancy called the Thornton Group. The Massachusetts-based firm is headed by James Bulger, the nephew of the notorious mob hitman James “Whitey” Bulger. Whitey was the leader of the Winter Hill Gang, part of the South Boston mafia. Under indictment for 19 murders, he disappeared. He was later arrested, tried, and convicted.

For these and other reasons, the U.S. government placed Kolomoisky on its visa ban list, prohibiting him from entering the country legally. In 2015, however, after Hunter Biden and Devon Archer had joined Burisma's board, Kolomoisky was given admittance back into the U.S.
Archer and the younger Biden brought other benefits to Burisma, however. Archer represented the company at the Louisiana Gulf Coast Oil Exposition in 2015. Biden addressed the Energy Security for the Future conference in Monaco. The vice president's son brought much-needed legitimacy to the shoddy gas company.
Less than a month after Archer joined Burisma's board, the company hired another Kerry lackey, David Leiter, as a lobbyist in Washington, D.C. He successfully lobbied for more aid to the country.
Both Biden and Kerry championed $1.8 billion in taxpayer-backed loans to be given to Ukraine courtesy of the IMF. That money would go directly through Kolomoisky's PrivatBank, and then it would disappear.
According to the Ukrainian anticorruption watchdog Nashi Groshi, "This transaction of $1.8 billion ... with the help of fake contracts was simply an asset siphoning operation."
So when did this get investigated by the Ukrainian or US governments? Well, maybe that was Hunter's other little contribution; being a democrat he is above prosecution.Archer and the younger Biden brought other benefits to Burisma, however.
