Here's a thing that amusingly has connections with our time-travel thread and the ongoing Hearings involving the Bidens.
Via a link kindly provided by The Mystic Wanderer in the 'Shout Box', I clicked onto a BBC link that was in the original
post.
We tend not to ferret about in old articles, but the BBC piece titled: 'Vice President Joe Biden's son joins Ukraine
gas company' from May 2014, paints a different picture from what we see today.
Check out this chunk of the article.
Who'd have thought that Hunter's dad would later go on and threaten the Ukraine Government to fire
a lawyer who was investigating corruption in the same company his son worked for -by holding back financial aid?
Time... it doesn't remind you of the past in the present!

Quote:'... All this could be explained simply as a foreign energy company looking to increase its visibility in the USBBC:
and spur investment, writes the Federalist's Mollie Hemingway. State-controlled companies currently account
for 90% of Ukraine's gas production, but this year Burisma became the nation's largest private producer.
Hemingway adds, however, that there may be another, less savoury possibility:
The most disturbing explanation is that the company is attempting to curry favour with the US government by
enlisting the services of the close family friend and campaign bundler of the secretary of state and the son of
the vice president.
After all, Archer notes on one of his company's web pages that his firm's "relationship network creates opportunities
for our portfolio companies which then compound to greater outcomes for all parties".
She concludes that this seems like a "cliched movie plot": "a shady foreign oil company co-opts the vice president's
son in order to capture lucrative foreign investment contracts".
The White House has emphasised that the vice president's son's new job will have no influence on US foreign policy.
"Hunter Biden is a private citizen and a lawyer," Kendra Barkoff, a spokeswoman for the vice president, told the Wall
Street Journal. "The vice president does not endorse any particular company and has no involvement with this company."
