Time (7/72014): [There is no legal barrier to prohibit Hunter Biden from working with a company that can be impacted by the policy decisions of his father, and the White House has maintained that the Vice President has not been influenced by his son’s employment. “The Vice President does not endorse any particular company and has no involvement with this company,” said his spokeswoman Kendra Barkoff.
But Hunter Biden’s new job, along with the association with Burisma of other politically-connected businessmen, has raised concerns among some Ukraine watchers. “It’s unhelpful when we are trying to get across to the Ukrainians to clean up corruption and special deals for special folks,” said Ed Chow, a senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, a U.S. think tank. “It maybe sends the wrong message that Westerners are just hypocritical.”]
Washington Post(7/22/2019): Yoshiko M. Herrera, a professor of political science at the University of Wisconsin at Madison who is an expert in Russia and Eurasian policy, said in an interview that Hunter Biden’s service with Burisma is a serious issue.
“I think there is a conflict of interest even if it doesn’t break any laws,” she said. “It’s a big deal. It’s the vice president, who is the point person of the Obama administration’s policy on Ukraine, and his son is suddenly hired to be a director on the board of Ukraine’s largest private gas producer.”
Our opinions: if there is no legal barrier to prohibit Hunter Biden from the working company that can be influenced by his father, then why do you(Joe Biden) allow him to work there? Joe, you are not a minor and you are his father! If your kid does something wrong, it is your responsibility to correct him! You definitely know his job conflicting with your role as VP! But, you ignored all the warnings and still decided to go ahead with it! As a senior senator for 40 years and a VP of USA, you can not say you do not know what you are doing! You deserve what you did! Now, you pay for your mistakes! Good luck! Dude.
