what's laughable about it? Biden is on video bragging he forced out the Ukraine State Prosecutor with a direct threat to withhold aid. Biden's claim that there were no investigations into Burisma at the time is proven false. Biden's claim he wasn't aware of his son's business dealings with Ukraine are also proven false, by his own son's interview. seems Corn Pop Jr is s poor liar. at least Daddy Corn Pop can use the "I'm old and losing my mind" excuse. isn't at least a little bit suspicious that Hunter Biden gets these sweet deals with both Ukraine (Burisma) and China while Biden is the sitting VP? Hunter Biden is a lawyer so you can't say he's completely unqualified but he has no prior history of legal work in the Energy sector and international law. finally there is nothing illegal or improper about Trump using Giuliani as a personal envoy. we know that previous attempts by Ukrainians to provide information about potential corruption were rebuffed by State Dept. officials. so why would Trump trust them now? he certainly wouldn't be the first president not to trust the State Dept and use personal envoys. certainly not illegal or improper.

Hunter Biden's father is squeaky clean Joe Biden, who happens to be Vice President of the the United States of America. The people in power would love nothing better than to throw your ass in jail, but they're dependent on the USA for survival. (Although much to your good fortune they did pick a corrupt or inept prosecutor who pigeon holed your case.)
Anyway if the son of the Vice President of the USA is on your board, maybe that's a little insurance. Also Hunter Biden is a dashing figure whose photo looks good in an annual report. And he doesn't know much about your industry so he'll vote the way you want him to.
That's why I said Hunter Biden's directorship stinks to high heaven. Agreed. The conspiracy theorists who got from that to Joe Biden holding up a $1 billion loan guarantee to protect his son though have done way too much acid.
