It's a tough job being on the board of directors of Ukraine's

"It's Totally Normal That Joe Biden's Son Works for a Ukrainian
Energy Company
Adam Chandler, Jun 7, 2014 3:14PM ET
The inauguration of Petro Poroshenko as Ukraine's new president was
Europe's biggest story today. The billionaire confectioner promised
to bring Ukraine closer to Europe and the West. He also had some
tough words about Crimea, which he delivered in the presence of
Mikhail Zurabov, the recently restored Russian ambassador to
Ukraine.
Russia occupied Crimea, which was, is and will be Ukrainian
soil. Yesterday in the course of the meeting in Normandy, I told
this to President Putin: Crimea is Ukraine soil. Period. There can
be no compromise on the issues of Crimea, European choice and state structure.”
Among the dignitaries in attendance was Vice President Joe Biden,
which is where the story gets interesting. It hardly seems
noteworthy that, given the scope of the crisis, Biden took his
second trip to Ukraine in the past six weeks.
However, Biden's trip also coincided with a story about his youngest
son. Hunter Biden was tapped last month to join the board of Burisma Holdings, Ukraine’s largest private gas producer. At the time, The
Guardian wryly explained the oddity of Biden-spawn's new gig.
Isn't that a bit fishy? Why do you say that?
Because he's the vice-president's son! That's a coincidence.
"This is totally based on merit," said Burisma's chairman, Alan
Apter.
He doesn't sound very Ukrainian. He's American, as is the other
new board member, Devon Archer.
Who? Devon Archer, who works with Hunter Biden at Rosemont
Seneca partners, which is half owned by Rosemont Capital, a private
equity firm founded by Archer and Christopher Heinz.
Who? Christopher Heinz … John Kerry's stepson.
As the Associated Press reports today, there is more fishiness yet.
While Hunter Biden's new company is said to be working to get
Ukraine off its dependence on Russia for energy, Burisma also
reportedly "leases natural gas fields in the breakaway
Russian-backed state of Crimea."
The company is also owned by Nikolai Zlochevskyi, whose "ties to
Ukraine's ousted pro-Russian president" include serving as a senior
minister in several government posts under Viktor Yanukovych.
At the time of the appointment, Hunter Biden said this:
As a new member of the Board, I believe that my assistance in
consulting the Company on matters of transparency, corporate
governance and responsibility, international expansion and other
priorities will contribute to the economy and benefit the people of
Ukraine.”
Said transparency seems to be elusive on the American side of this
deal. . . ."

Looks like the democrats all need to be lined up against a wall
and shot.
