Five days later, on April 21, 2014, VP Biden travels to Ukraine and news reports describe him as the “public face of the administration’s handling of Ukraine” (2)

The very next day, Devon Archer joins the Board of Burisma, a Ukrainian gas company owned by Mykoloa Zlochevsky, a Ukrainian oligarch generally viewed as highly corrupt. A mere coincidence? (3)

Six days later, British officials seize the London bank accounts of Zlochevsky containing $23 million. I guess that might be a sign that Obama administration officials were correct to view him as highly corrupt. (4)

Fifteen days later, on May 13, 2014, guess who joins the board of Burisma? That’s right, Hunter Biden. Another sheer coincidence? (5)

BTW, don’t you think that Mykoloa Zlochevsky would have made sure Ukrainian officials desperate for U.S. support knew that Hunter Biden was on his board? I’ll bet he did. The obvious message to those Ukrainian officials: “If you want U.S. support, leave Burisma alone.” (6)

And how much did Zlochevsky pay Hunter and Devon for that protection? Public reports say Hunter and his firm were paid $3 million over the next 5 years - more than $600,000 per year - for doing what? (7)

BTW, the average American household works hard to earn 10% of what Hunter Biden and his firm were paid by Burisma. It’s nice to have the right last name, and friends in high places. (8)

An interesting article in @FDRLST quotes a study from Watchdog Research showing a similar sized US company typically pays board members $55,000 to $83,000 a year. Hunter was paid 7.2 to 10.9 times that amount. Again, great gig if you have the right name. (9)
