Gaetz did, however, offer us with a little preview of Hunter Biden’s justification for joining the board of the Ukrainian startup Burisma.
In an interview with the media just after the deposition, Gaetz noted that there had been several noteworthy instances. “but perhaps none more interesting than when Hunter Biden told us that he joined the Burisma board ‘to counter Russian aggression.”
“I hadn’t heard that one before!” Gaetz said scoffingly.
“Thank goodness we had Hunter Biden on the Burisma board because that was essential to his strategy to stand up to Vladimir Putin,” Gaetz added.
Gaetz grinned in answer to a query on Hunter Biden’s contributions to these businesses.
“Yeah we’ve asked those questions, and there is an illusory value,” he said.
“It’s a mirage to believe that Hunter Biden was engaged in international business,” Gaetz said.
“This was a bribe masquerading as an international business transaction. Nothing more, nothing less,” he added.
Gaetz was asked what he thought of Hunter Biden’s opening remarks. “I thought it was a pretty strange statement — perhaps it jumps off the page when he says it in his own words.”
CNN reports that Hunter Biden said Republicans “hounded” him in their opening remarks. “partisan political pursuit of my dad.”
“You have trafficked in innuendo, distortion, and sensationalism — all the while ignoring the clear and convincing evidence staring you in the face. You do not have evidence to support the baseless and MAGA-motivated conspiracies about my father because there isn’t any,” he added.
Hunter Biden’s exact comments cannot be confirmed until the tape is made public, but if Gaetz’s account of his reasoning for being on the Burisma board is accurate, this is yet another exciting development in the Biden narrative.
The stories of Joe Biden are always, to quote Gaetz, “interesting.” Whether it’s about being arrested en route to meet Nelson Mandela, having a cute run-in with a long-dead Amtrak conductor, or being forced to sit on the board of a dishonest Ukrainian energy company in order to “counter Russian aggression.”
It would also be “interesting” to learn how Russian aggression is seen to have been avoided by Hunter Biden’s appointment to the board.
As per the House Oversight and Accountability Committee’s “influence peddling timeline,” Biden became a member of the Burisma board in the spring of 2014.
It’s logical to question if Hunter Biden actually received the energy company’s alleged $83,000 monthly wage given that Russia invaded Crimea in 2014. Reuters thinks that Biden may have received compensation for his efforts to stop Russian action.
In the end, Gaetz’s narrative is ridiculous and funny.
All we have to do is add them to the collection of absurd Biden family anecdotes.
