Joe Biden Claims He Was Not Aware of Son’s Service on Burisma’s Board

Oh, come on!!!

Breitbart:

Joe Biden claimed on Friday he was unaware his youngest son, Hunter, was serving on the board of directors of a Ukrainian oil and gas giant while Biden was responsible for Obama administration policy towards the country.

The former vice president made the claim during an interview with PBS News Hour in which he was asked why a recent campaign pledge to not have children “involved” with foreign countries did not apply to his eight year tenure in the Obama White House. Biden responded to the question by asserting “no one” had established either he or his son has done “anything wrong” in their professional and business dealings in Ukraine, before alleging he had no knowledge of his son’s position with Burisma Holdings.

“I did not know he was on the board of that company,” the former vice president said. “In fact, no one has asserted on the board that it was illegal for him to be on the board or that he did anything wrong.”

When asked if he would have interceded with his son had “he known” about the appointment, Biden again reiterated his son did “nothing wrong”

The former vice president’s claim to not have known about his son’s position with Burisma, however, has been undercut by numerous sources, including Hunter Biden himself. The younger Biden admitted during a series of candid interviews for a New Yorker profile published in June that he in fact had discussed his foreign business interests with his father on at least one occasion.

“Dad said, ‘I hope you know what you are doing,’ and I said, ‘I do’” Hunter Biden told the magazine.

The contradicting stories between father and son only underscore the multiple unanswered questions surrounding Hunter Biden’s work in Ukraine. At the center of controversy is how and why Hunter Biden secured an appointment to Burisma’s board of directors, which at times paid more than $83,000 a month. more here

  1. Joe, Joe Joe. Being clearly corrupt and lamely denying it with the ole standard, ” has not done anything wrong” [ aka didn’t dunuffin] . Relaying on the Bert Simpson defense, ” I didn’t do it. Nobody saw me do it. Can’t prove anything”. Doesn’t favorably impress anyone. Neither does being Capt. Oblivious. Both flaws confirm you are not presidential material.

    Go home. Stay there. Fire your shotgun out the back door a couple of times every evening if you want. But don’t come back. You lack the qualities, the talent, the good character, and the awareness needed for the job. A very low score resume.

  2. I am so sick of these crazy loonies, all of them.

    Please, Mr. Barr, Mr. Durham, please put them out of my misery — and let President Trump have a great 2nd term without them.

  3. Nobody believes Biden. The problem is that his supporters (and even other Dems who support other candidates) just don’t care. Nowadays a Democrat can be caught flat out in a lie or a questionable business deal and the Millenials and Gen X just don’t give a crap because far too few of them have had any moral values built in by their parents. Those that have, have had them steadily eroded by the education system. It’s a dangerous time we live in.
