Hunter Biden was put on the board for political reasons.

Possibly.I don't have any information one way or another, though.

Joe Biden, weeks before this blew up, put his son on the BOD of telling the Ukrainians they needed American influence on the Board and weeks later Hunter Biden was installed.

I have no idea what you are saying here. It looks like 2 or 3 sentences got munged together. What little I can tease out seems to be wrong, though.

What do you mean "weeks before this blew up"? It blew up recently. Hunter was appointed to the BoD in 2014. So that doesn't match up at all. I have no idea of the validity of your statement that Biden told the Ukrainians they need American influence on the Board of that particular company. Given Biden's lead role in dealing with Ukraine, I could see him saying something like that in general, though.But I don't know if he did.

"Hunter Biden was put on the board for political reasons. You know that. You cannot be so stupid and dishonest as to not acknowledge that. Joe Biden, weeks before this blew up, put his son on the BOD of telling the Ukrainians they needed American influence on the Board and weeks later Hunter Biden was installed."

Fake news. :-)

It is plausible that Biden was put on the BoD because they thought it would help them with the US. But there is zero proof that it in fact did help them. Or that Joe actually did anything to get him put on the Board. Or that Biden did anything because Hunter was on the Board. Or that Joe got anything in return for Hunter being on the Board.

On the other hand, Ivanka did get profitable trademarks from the CCP. Hmm, wonder why...
