Joe Biden allegedly directed $1.8 billion in aid money to Ukraine as Vice President while his son Hunter received millions of dollars from Ukrainian energy giant Burisma Holdings, according to Peter Schweizer, president of the Government Accountability Institute and senior Breitbart editor-at-large.
As The Hill‘s John Solomon reported Monday, Hunter Biden was paid upwards of $166,000 per month to sit on the board of Burisma from spring 2014 through fall 2015.
“We’ve talked before about the deals he procured with the government for China, Schweizer said Tuesday night on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Tonight. “The other place [Joe Biden’s] son, Hunter Biden, procured a big deal was in Ukraine. In Ukraine, it involved an energy company called Burisma, which is a very corrupt organization headed by an oligarch named Mykola Zlochevsky who is very close to Viktor Yanukovich, the pro-Russian leader.”
“There’s all kinds of questions and implications. Is there a Russian component to this, because Burisma is such a corrupt company?” Schweizer added.
“The bottom line is Joe Biden was the Obama administration’s point-person on policy towards Ukraine,” said Schweizer. “He steered $1.8 billion in aid to that government and while he was doing so, his son got a sweetheart deal with this energy company – that we’ve been able to trace over just a 14-month period – paid $3.1 million into an account where Hunter Biden was getting paid.”
Schweizer highlighted Hunter Biden’s lack of professional or experiential bona fides in terms of his board position at Burisma Holdings.
“Suffice to say, Hunter Biden has no background in Ukraine,” stated Schweizer. “He has no background in energy policy. There’s really no legitimate explanation as to why he got this deal with this energy company, other than the fact his father was responsible for doling out money in Ukraine itself.”
Schweizer went on, “It’s a huge problem, and it goes to this question of corruption and potential payoffs and bribes that these foreign entities were making to the Bidens in exchange for hopefully getting favorable treatment.”
Despite the Robert Mueller-led operation’s ostensible pursuit of “collusion” between President Donald Trump and the Russian state, Schweizer noted actual financial dealings between the Biden family and foreign interests. -Breitbart
“One of the phrases that has been tossed around as it relates to the Russian collusion hoax was ‘obstruction of justice’ by Trump, and there’s been no — at least in my mind — evidence that that ever happened, and it doesn’t seem that Mueller felt any charges should be brought on that count. But in this case, you would have a pretty clear-cut case of obstruction of justice, where Joe Biden is saying to Ukrainian officials, ‘We are not going to give you this billion-dollar loan guarantee unless you fire this guy.’” added Schweizer.
He's not just creepy uncle Joe, he's Crooked Joe.https://t.co/nyNuceh2F1

On Wednesday we reported that Biden bragged last year to an audience of foreign policy experts how he threatened to hurl Ukraine into bankruptcy if their top prosecutor, General Viktor Shokin, wasn’t immediately fired, according to The Hill‘s John Solomon. Shokin was investigating Burisma.
In his own words, with video cameras rolling, Biden described how he threatened Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko in March 2016 that the Obama administration would pull $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees, sending the former Soviet republic toward insolvency, if it didn’t immediately fire Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin. -The Hill
“I said, ‘You’re not getting the billion.’ I’m going to be leaving here in, I think it was about six hours. I looked at them and said: ‘I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money,’” bragged Biden, recalling the conversation with Poroshenko.
“Well, son of a bitch, he got fired. And they put in place someone who was solid at the time,” Biden said at the Council on Foreign Relations event - while insisting that former president Obama was complicit in the threat.
Shokin was leading a wide-ranging corruption investigation into Burisma while Hunter Biden sat on the board.
The prosecutor he got fired was leading a wide-ranging corruption probe into the natural gas firm Burisma Holdings that employed Biden’s younger son, Hunter, as a board member.
U.S. banking records show Hunter Biden’s American-based firm, Rosemont Seneca Partners LLC, received regular transfers into one of its accounts — usually more than $166,000 a month — from Burisma from spring 2014 through fall 2015,during a period when Vice President Biden was the main U.S. official dealing with Ukraine and its tense relations with Russia. -The Hill
We wonder if Biden will grope for an excuse to explain this apparent Ukrainian “enrichment” scheme.

Corruption is the third pillar of the leftist it is one they all strive to perfect. The other three pillars are lies deceit and molestation. It is been that way since the very beginning now that they have merged Islam they have become a danger not only to America but to the whole of mankind
The Democrats, primarily, continue to practice corruption because they are never held accountable nor accused of corruption by their pals in the media, who just sweep it under the rug to protect their “access”. And, others in Washington never investigate because it is so widespread and one hand washes the other. What do we NOT know of the games people play in Washington? We just recently learned that Congress had an appropriated “slush fund” of over $17 million for those members accused of sexual improprieties to access for “hush money” payments to accusers. What OTHER similar types of funds does Congress maintain - with OUR MONEY - for various nefarious needs?
I agree with you. All of these wicked, vile STRATEGIES, PLOTS, CONSPIRACIES, SCHEMES, UNSEEN SNARES, TRAPS, LIES cover ups, money laundering, Socialism Communism, MUSLIMISM, will be CONSUMED by A RIVER OF FIRE THAT LEAPS FROM GOD’ PRESENCE, QUICKLY. “THE MOUTH OF THE LORD HAS SPOKEN” IN JESUS NAME FOREVER I DECREE AND DECLARE.
THere is not one long term democrat who has not been corrupted. Sad.
This is how politicians become millionaires.
I believe Unc needs a rope!! This criminal is beyond rehabilitation.
They ALL are beyond rehab. Is there any wonder why they fight so hard to destroy the party that is seeking to expose them?? I want to see some indictments !! I cannot wait to see them in prison.. While Trump is cleaning up the judicial system to get a fair trial, they are operating in a panic.
If a Republican did this they would be impeached and in jail. Sad how worthless CNN never talks about Democrats in their natural habitat.
The media is interrelated with the DNC Socialists party. They will have to be sued and prosecuted. You cannot listen to the media anymore and expect the truth. Hope Trump gets the Judicial System cleaned up soon so we can see them go to prison.
Joe Biden’s past will be plastered all over the internet once he declares his desire to run for POTUS. He is the “gaffe” king, he slithers like a snake and downright creepy. He has had many face lifts and looks like a freak IMO so much so that one of his eyes stays halfway closed. What a creep.
Bernie Sanders will fall flat on his face again. Can you imagine his frumpy wife as our First Lady? LOL!
