Joe Biden's crack whore of a son does not speak Russian or Ukrainian. He has no experience in the oil & gas industry. He has no connections, experience or expertise in working in the former Soviet Union in general, much less Ukraine in particular. Just a few months before landing a job that paid him between $50,000-$83,000 per month to do almost nothing (remember, this is a Board of Directors position - the board of any company meets, AT MOST, once per month, sometimes only once quarterly, and does absolutely nothing in between because the CEO runs the company on a daily basis), he had been dishonorably discharged from the Naval Reserve for failing a drug test (crack cocaine).

What company, in its right mind, would hire him for anything? When we take away the Gaffe Master Joe as his father, he has no appreciable skills, talents or abilities that would in any way recommend him for such a job. Not only that, but no one would even know about his existence, much less consider him for such a job.

The company that hired him was not just corrupt. Its owner, Nikolai Zlochevsky, actually fled Ukraine at the END of 2014 (when the retarded younger Biden was firmly ensconced on the Board of Burisma) due to his corrupt activities. He was being investigated by other corrupt people because of his ties to the previous administration (in corrupt countries like Ukraine, it's not a question of if you're corrupt, but who you were corrupt for, that determines guilt).

Whether or not Joe Biden actually did any favors for Zlochevsky, the very fact that they paid Hunter $50,000 to $83,000 per month, and KEPT PAYING HIM FOR YEARS, is prima facie evidence that something might be amiss.

CONCLUSION: FOR TRUMP TO ASK FOR AN INVESTIGATION WAS NOT IMPROPER. HE HAD A REASONABLE BASIS TO REQUEST AN INVESTIGATION, PARTICULARLY GIVEN THAT NO EXHAUSTIVE INVESTIGATION HAD EVER BEEN CONDUCTED.

If a thorough, real investigation (as opposed to something pro forma, which is what Poroshenko had done to make it look like the Bidens were in the clear) exonerated Hunter (who was at the time I believe fucking his dead brother's widow and getting strippers pregnant at the Hustler Club in New York), then the matter would be closed. If it uncovered wrongdoing, that would be a violation of Federal law. It is the President's purview to do this.

I understand that people have made a lot out of the fact that Giuliani was doing the investigating. While this is not perhaps the preferred route for doing things, we have to remember (1) Trump already had a bad experience with Sessions and Sessions's recusal of himself on the Mueller investigation, all because of a few innocuous fleeting contacts, so using an outside source is justified, and (2) other Presidents have similarly acted outside official channels from time to time to conduct foreign affairs. It's the prerogative of the President.
