#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.

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

#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.

#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.

#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.

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.

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

#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.

#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.

#10 As I said, look at the subsidiaries

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