Former President of Poland says Hunter Biden DID get on the board of Ukrainian energy firm thanks to dad - but he 'never abused his position'

[Daily Mail,

Where America Gets Its News] Former Polish president Aleksander Kwasniewski says Hunter Biden got a seat on the board of Ukrainian gas company Burisma because of his father

Hunter joined Burisma in 2014 - while Joe Foreign Policy Whiz Kid Biden
...Failed seeker of the Democratic presidential nomination on multiple occasions, vice president under Barack Obama, giving it a last try in his dotage for 2020...
was Vice President

Kwasniewski, who was president from 1995 to 2005, says that Hunter didn't abuse his political connections to father to further the company's interests

He said Hunter rarely spoke about his own family, only when asked

'He was a normal member of this group,' Kwasniewski said

His time on the board has come under scrutiny in the presidential impeachment inquiry after Trump asked Ukraine's president to investigate Hunter's work there

#11 Corporate board members are not picked for what they do but for who they know.

#10 As I said, look at the subsidiaries

#9 Compare and contrast the information available about Burisma (besides the scandal) and "Ukrnafta," found here:

https://www.ukrnafta.com/en/pro-kompaniyu

Which says they have 28 drilling rigs but are mainly focused on oil and condensates and just a little natural gas.

When you look at Burisma, you can find news articles about the Drilling Rig They Just Bought, but no real details on anything else.

I think it's a fake company.

#8 Just between you and me, I hate that article. For instance, it says "Burisma explores and produces at eight locations in five regions" which doesn't give you any solid information such as "how many rigs do they have operating." It also says "See also Trump-Ukraine Scandal" as if Captain Alzheimers isn't on tape bragging about getting people in Ukraine fired for daring to investigate the con.

#7 #5 But I don't have a Cyrillic keyboard - so I can't search any better than you. Start here with Burisma subsidiaries.

#6 Burisma's purpose in existance was to tie up all the permits and drill them very slowly so that Ukraine would stay dependent on Russia

Very interesting hypothesis. Wondered why Ukraine wasn't producing a lot more gas, other than corruption, when they have large shale and coal seam formations.

#5 Hey Grom, you know slavic languages, I suspect.

Can you do a web search and find out how many drilling rigs Burisma has in Ukraine? I can't find that info in English language sources.

#4 Part of the reason Biden wanted the prosecutor fired was to protect himself and his son, but also to protect the con itself and keep the new government from unwinding the con, where Burisma had most of the drilling permits in the country via government fiat.

#3 I found some interesting links re: Burisma a couple weeks ago. The owner, Nikolai Zlochevsky, used to be Yanukovych's minister of Ecology, and would write drilling permits for his own company while he was in that position.

I've come to the conclusion that Burisma's purpose in existance was to tie up all the permits and drill them very slowly so that Ukraine would stay dependent on Russia, and that the Democrats are in on the con, and guilty of everything they accuse Trump of.

#2 Former President of Poland didn't wet his beak in Ukraine?

#1 No, certainly not! In fact he did nothing, including showing up, for a cool $1 million/year + a cut of of the $15 million Rosemont Seneca money transferred by Burisma.
