I think people are tired of these "bombshell" reports about Joe and H****r B***n vis-a-vis "secret" business deals. Nobody cares.

Burisma Holdings has been thrust into the media limelight as the Democratic-controlled House presses forward with its impeachment inquiry into President Trump’s dealings in Ukraine.

But lost in much of the coverage of the dramatic hearings is what this Ukrainian natural gas firm actually does and the controversy it's generated in the past -- beyond the now well-known fact that H****r B***n served on its board, thus arousing the suspicion of the Trump White House and touching off the series of events leading to impeachment proceedings.

While both sides of the aisle fiercely debate the propriety of the younger Biden's role, the company itself has long been tied to controversy.

“Burisma’s reputation in Ukraine is low, and was dubious before (the impeachment inquiry) due to the scandals surrounding the owner,” Igor Egorov, the president of the Kiev-based nonprofit Anticorruption Entrepreneurial Front, told Fox News, underscoring that it hasn’t stopped the company from financial growth.

“Burisma is among the top five oil, drilling, and production companies and planned to drill 21 new wells in 2019, expanding its production capabilities," Egorov said. "Burisma Holdings controls many companies in the oil & gas industry – the group was successful due to relations with authorities.”

H****r B***n joined the board after being discharged from the Navy Reserve for drug use, at a time when Burisma was engulfed in corruption investigation woes, and at a time when his father Joe Biden as vice president was leading the Obama administration’s effort to curb Ukraine’s endemic corruption. He stepped down in April when Biden announced his 2020 p**********l aspirations.

Trump and his personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, have repeatedly made the accusation that Biden inappropriately leveraged his White House position to have Viktor Shokin, then Ukraine's leading prosecutor, fired in March 2016 to avoid implicating H****r in corruption investigations. Joe Biden's campaign has vigorously disputed this -- saying he urged the firing for the exact opposite reason: Shokin wasn’t doing enough.

Igor Egorov tied to Cyprian Greeks owned Burisma 2018, and is also President of Kiev based Nonprofit Anticorruption Front, according to Fox News still up there on the boards mostly he's been written out.

Trump went to Ukraine and pressured President Zelensky to investigate H****rs role, asking what was H****r's contribution to the Company, particularly about Prosecutor Viktor Shokin getting sacked for complaining about Burisma's corruption that H****r was a part of, had Trump kept out of it, Burisma could have been exposed as a shell company because there was a backlash against Burisma that benefited the new Zelensky Government but the full weight of EU came into effect protecting Burisma after that.

What I heard was that the gas from Russia was being siphoned so Russia banned sales to Ukraine after which the EU started selling Russian gas back to the Ukraine a very dubious business practice which was facilitated by the Nonprofit Anticorruption Front to a big extent, also lots of other projects would be targeted such as money being donated to to fight the breakaway regions used to grease the wheels of deals.

And yet the slightest hint of possible impropriety on Trump’s part makes front page news over every l*****t news outlet!

This is where the hypocrisy of the left, once again, is on full display! Your party went on full impeachment mode over less evidence, and even that was manufactured evidence paid for by Hillary.

Do you even understand the ramifications if this is true??? Or don’t you even care that the man on your b****t may be one of the biggest s**msters that ever lived? Of course, if the shoe were on the other foot you all’d be screaming to high heaven!

The fact that Twitter and Facebook are trying to cover this up proves beyond a shadow of a doubt their disdain for America’s Constitution which guarantees freedom of speech.

Now THAT is e******n meddling!

T***slation: because l*****ts, by their own admissions such as this, will never hold their own politicians accountable no matter how egregious their crimes against Americans, thereby empowering their politicians to grow extremely rich off their pay-to-play schemes.
