This was before the regime change and the people at home now if you listen to the entire leaked a the favored candidate mentioned in a ultimately is the one who when the regime change happened took over. In 2014 after what happens, victor fled to russia, invited them to invade ukraine to protect him and this was bipartisan. John mccain was a leading voice in ensuring that there would be competition and ultimately when he won the election.

What hes doing is pushing the Ukrainian Government to do something in his personal political interests and say american aid, you wont get to protect yourself until you give me what im asking for.

The focus is on a decision in 2014 to join the board of directors of the ukrainian natural gas company. At the time reporters asked the Obama Administration if it was a conflict of interest for Vice President biden. Hunter biden and other members of the family are private citizens. It does not reflect an endorsement. Hunter had some corporate experience, he served on the board of amtrak and launched his own consulting firm. We asked heaven wally if he could see why bidens work in ukraine could raise red flags for some people. Im first to say i dont think hunter would be on this board his last name or smith.

Joe biden was appointed by barack obama to be point person on us policy, china and ukraine. In both instances his son got lucrative deals where he had no qualifications. He was paid 83,000 a month by the Ukrainian Energy company, no background in ukraine or energy and he got involved in a private equity deal to the tune of 1. 5 billion even with no background in china and no background in private equity so the question is what was he paid to do .
