"2016: U.S. Diplomat Warned That Hunter Biden’s Burisma Job ‘Undercut’ U.S. Corruption Fight in Ukraine"
"CIA Director John Ratcliffe declassified records that show then-Vice President Joe Biden in 2015 told the CIA to suppress a report that expressed concerns over his family’s business dealings in Ukraine.
"The report is titled “Reactions of [blacked out] Ukrainian Officials to the Early December Visit of Senior United States Government Official.” . . .
"Biden visited Kyiv, Ukraine, in December 2015. Then-Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko hoped Biden would discuss “personnel matters” with the government as Ukraine faced Russian aggression.
"Russia had already stolen Crimea and threatened eastern Ukraine.
"Instead, Ukraine received “a generic public speech, and had no intention of discussing substantive matters with Poroshenko or other officials.”
"You can read the speech here: Remarks by Vice President Joe Biden to The Ukrainian Rada.
"Poroshenko’s officials “expressed bewilderment” over the visit.
“ 'Following the visit of the U.S. Vice President, [blacked out] officials within the Poroshenko administration privately mused at the U.S. media scrutiny of the alleged ties of the U.S. Vice President’s family to corruption in Ukraine as evidence of a double-standard within the United States Government towards matters of corruption and political power,” according to the report.
"What corruption? You mean Hunter Biden sitting on the board of Burisma?" .. . . .
