Am I right in thinking there's always been something to this? As VP, Biden got his failson a cushy job (that AFAIK he wasn't at all qualified for) at a natural gas company in Ukraine, one of the most corrupt countries in Europe.

Is it just American lib tribalism that prevents them from saying this was not completely on the level, since it's mostly Trumpers going on about Hunter Biden? Obviously they've made up some bullshit too, but the Burisma thing to me is undeniable. I'm assuming there's an element of "Ukraine can't be criticized" at this point too.

I don't think there is that much more to it than nepotism.

America does industrial corruption, this kind of shit is too low level.

Ukraine literally has a privatisation online store for selling state assets to the west at a huge discount.
