Let me break down the Hunter Biden situation for you a bit.

1/ Background: Joe Biden said his son had never spoken to him about his crazily lucrative job with Burisma—which was very unlikely, since Biden was Obama's Ukraine point man.

2/ Now we have a copy of an April 2015 email from Burisma adviser, a Vadym Pozharskyi, to Hunter Biden, saying, "thank you for inviting me to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your father..."

3/ A May 2014 mail from Pozharskyi to Hunter requested the younger Biden's "advice on how you could use your influence."

So not only did Biden meet Pozharski, it seems to have been in response to an earlier request for Hunter to use his "influence."

4/ And wouldn't you know it, but when Burisma came under investigation by the Ukrainian government, the prosecutor was summarily fired at the elder Biden's request. We have that admission (that *brag*) on video. That's the now-infamous "Well, son of a bitch. He got fired" line.

5/ Put it together. Hunter, who joined Burisma's board for $50K/month in April 2014 (nationalreview.com/2019/09/hunter…) seems to have been tapped for his "influence" with his father. A Board rep met Joe in 2015. Joe had a prosecutor fired in 2016, which fact Joe bragged about in 2018.

There's a lot more to it than that, but as far as I can tell, that's the basic. It looks like plain old quid-pro-quo corruption, which of course is where Joe's nickname, #QuidQuoJoe comes from.
