Hunter Biden’s Ukraine gas firm pressed Obama administration to end corruption allegations

Put a Fork in Ol Joe because he is officially done
Hunter Biden and his Ukrainian gas firm colleagues had multiple contacts with the Obama State Department during the 2016 election cycle, including one just a month before Vice President Joe Biden forced Ukraine to fire the prosecutor investigating his son’s company for corruption, newly released memos show.
During that February 2016 contact, a U.S. representative for Burisma Holdings sought a meeting with Undersecretary of State Catherine A. Novelli to discuss ending the corruption allegations against the Ukrainian firm where Hunter Biden worked as a board member, according to memos obtained under a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit. (I filed that suit this summer with the help of the public interest law firm the Southeastern Legal Foundation.)
Just three weeks before Burisma’s overture to State, Ukrainian authorities raided the home of the oligarch who owned the gas firm and employed Hunter Biden, a signal the long-running corruption probe was escalating in the middle of the U.S. presidential election.
Hunter Biden’s name, in fact, was specifically invoked by the Burisma representative as a reason the State Department should help, according to a series of email exchanges among U.S. officials trying to arrange the meeting. The subject line for the email exchanges read simply “Burisma.”

“Per our conversation, Karen Tramontano of Blue Star Strategies requested a meeting to discuss with U/S Novelli USG remarks alleging Burisma (Ukrainian energy company) of corruption,” a Feb. 24, 2016, email between State officials read. “She noted that two high profile U.S. citizens are affiliated with the company (including Hunter Biden as a board member).
“Tramontano would like to talk with U/S Novelli about getting a better understanding of how the U.S. came to the determination that the company is corrupt,” the email added. “According to Tramontano there is no evidence of corruption, has been no hearing or process, and evidence to the contrary has not been considered.”

And less than 5% of the US voting populace will hear a word about this.

This is a fricking scandal of epic proportions and most of our media is pretending it's nothing but a fringe story that only has to do with Trump seemingly doing something nefarious by trying to have it investigated.
Bizarro world.
Bizarro world.

Everyone knows this and that Biden actually got that done.
How do we know? (Joe) Biden (you know? Obama's VP) bragged about getting the prosecutor fired.

I cannot wait to hear about this on the evening news.

Is Hunter Biden and Burisma immune from investigation? Do they get away with this scott free?

Joe Biden's campaign is in shock at how much harder it is to extort campaign funds from American voters than it is to extort cash from Ukrainian energy concerns.

Steve Hilton will tell you and Marie Harf about it.

Nice to watch the only Dem candidate with any chance to win go down in flames.

Keep in mind, these dims were carrying on their corruption and slime believing that there was no way clinton would lose the election and none of their actions would be investigated. oops.

No wonder Marie Harf got so pissed when Steve Hilton blasted her on this earlier today.
