    It’s disappointing how the selective omission of information can make something innocuous seem so damning.

      Hunter Biden’s whole life was turned inside and out in 2014 when he joined the board of Burisma. The Republicans tried to make it a scandal then but he was cleared of any wrongdoing or nepotism by the Office of Government Ethics in 2012. I literally cannot even find those stories anymore because of how the media resurrected the story and saturated the public record to create a fake scandal. Like yeah, he probably got the job because of his last name, but the only reason Burisma wanted his last name is because this was a company dedicated to the sole goal of getting Ukraine off of dependence on Russian oil and for that it needed credibility in the West, who cares about that?
