[American Thinker] - It wasn’t 2012 Presidential loser Mitt Romney’s faith that caused him to vote to impeach President Trump, whom he once begged to rescue him from political oblivion. While Romney, who undoubtedly entertained visions of succeeding a President Trump after his vote helped remove from office, says it was his faith that caused him to believe Trump really did abuse his power to pressure the Ukrainians to dig up dirt on the Bidens, more likely it was because that Romney wanted to put an end to an administration that might expose his link to the Bidens and Burisma.

...Little notice has been paid to the fact that Joseph Cofer Black, a former CIA operative, served as Romney’s special adviser in his 2012 campaign for President.
Losing campaign - incidentally? Is there such a thing as "ex-CIA"?
...Black would wind up serving on the board of the Ukrainian gas company Burisma at the same time that Hunter, who had no special knowledge of Ukraine or the energy business, was being paid ungodly sums to curry influence with the Obama-Biden administration.

...There is no doubt that Burisma as was stockpiling people on its board who could provide it with cover from prying investigations, like the son of a vice president and a special adviser to a GOP presidential candidate. The nature of Hunter’s job is known -- his father, Vice President Joe Biden, would get a Ukrainian prosecutor fired, taking the heat off Burisma to protect his son. What Black’s role was, or why he was on the board other than providing potential access is unclear.
Burisma as CIA money laundering operation would explain some things. Neh, I'm becoming as bad as Besoeker - who sees CIA under every bed.

#1 But Besoeker is on point. The Klingons are everywhere.

#2 It really should not be necessary to again discuss Benghazi, The Foundation, 30,000 missing emails, the 'home brew' server, the amazingly successful Denver based Platte River Networks, the Woodbridge Va. Awan bros. and their Falls Church used car dealership, Nellie Ohr's HAM radio hobby, Jim Clapper, John Brennan, the Whistle blower, Christopher Steele, the Lolita Express, the late Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, 'night flights' on unmarked aircraft ferrying palletized millions of USD and Swiss francs to Iran, the fuzzy FISA approved clandestine monitoring of a presidential campaign, or more recently, the interesting military assignment history of LTC Sausage......or should it ?

#3 It is incredible that Black survived the CIA station screw-up in the Sudan in the nineteen nineties.

#4 Defecto is the only US presidential candidate - in history - to have offshore bank accounts.

Adds to this theory's plausibility. Opportunity as well as means & motive.

#5 "Burisma as CIA money laundering operation would explain some things..."

"Joseph Cofer Black, a former CIA operative, served as Romney’s special adviser in his 2012 campaign for President."

But Besoeker is on point. The Klingons are everywhere.

#6 #5 Connection between CIA & Mormons?
I doubt it. There are (or were 25 years ago) certain prohibitions. Religion and academia for example.

#7 From the memory hole. It was sort of a given that no one discussed the LDS faith around Army intelligence officers. They seemed to find a real comfort level in MI branch. Had one, a retired LTC (great American), who was used to kick around a little whenever he mentioned his wife.

Invariably someone would ask, "which wife Bob?"

#9 /\ No, don't recall reading the article, but thanks for sending. For your info however, operating a used car dealership is a classic cover for money laundering and nefarious intelligence activities in nearly any country.

Thanks again for forwarding :-)
