According to a recent book by Mike McCormick, a former White House stenographer, President Joe Biden’s actions regarding Bursima Holdings, a Ukrainian energy company that employed Hunter Biden, warrant impeachment and imprisonment. Townhall’s Rachel Alexander, referencing excerpts from McCormick’s book titled “The Case to Impeach and Imprison Joe Biden: The Family’s Foreign Influence-Poaching Conspiracy in Ukraine,” highlighted Biden’s alleged involvement:
“McCormick became aware of the criminal nature of the activity after poring over the emails on Hunter Biden’s laptop, which allowed him to put it all together.
“When I worked for him, I thought Joe was harmless — egotistical, buffoonish, and unpresidential, but harmless,” he said. “Now I think of him as an evil criminal who should be impeached and imprisoned.”
“McCormick served as Biden’s stenographer when he was vice president from 2011 to 2017, transcribing every speech and interview. He said he personally witnessed Biden negotiate the Burisma kickback scheme — U.S. funding to Ukrainian energy, primarily Burisma, in exchange for putting Hunter Biden on Burisma’s board of directors — on a trip to Poland in 2014. He came to a lot of conclusions that other reporters haven’t figured out, due to his unique position and intensive study of this issue.”
Jake Sullivan, the ex-national security advisor to President Biden, has been identified as a central figure in the recent controversy, as per a report by Breitbart News. McCormick remembered that back on April 21, 2014, Sullivan, posing as an unnamed “senior administration official,” disclosed to journalists on Air Force Two that the U.S. had intentions to assist the natural gas industry in Ukraine.
Townhall’s Alexander reported:
“McCormick said the “evidence of the crime” was right there in the briefing, “right when Sullivan declares that Joe’s U.S. taxpayer-supported energy assistance for all of Ukraine will be directed to ‘extract unconventional gas resources’ and support ‘energy efficiency.’” He pointed out how Sullivan cleverly altered the wording from “shale gas” to “unconventional gas resources” to disguise it. Burisma was only one of a handful of Ukrainian companies with a license for fracking at that time.”
Hunter Biden served as a member of the Burisma board prior to his public disclosure during that period. The company only disclosed his position on the board on May 12, 2014, which was nearly a month after Sullivan’s statement to reporters.
McCormick recounted Sullivan’s statement: “The U.S. would specifically offer “technical assistance relating to a regulatory framework, and also the technology that would be required to extract unconventional gas resources, and Ukraine has meaningful reserves of unconventional gas according to the latest estimates.”
Hunter joined the board of Burisma in April 2014, two years prior to Joe Biden’s claim that he influenced the firing of Ukraine prosecutor Viktor Shokin, who was investigating the company. Despite Hunter’s lack of experience in Ukraine or the energy sector, Burisma paid him $83,000 per month, totaling $1 million per year. This payment came shortly after the Obama administration announced Joe Biden as the “point person” for U.S. foreign policy on Ukraine.
In 2015, Joe Biden threatened to withhold $1 billion in aid from Ukraine unless they fired the prosecutor who was investigating Burisma. Hunter became a board member of Burisma in April 2014, two years before Joe Biden’s assertion that he played a role in the removal of Viktor Shokin, the Ukrainian prosecutor who was looking into Burisma.
Shortly after Joe Biden was designated as the primary figure in U.S. foreign policy towards Ukraine, Burisma started paying Hunter $83,000 per month, amounting to $1 million annually, despite his lack of experience in Ukraine or the energy industry.
In 2015, Joe Biden issued a threat to withhold $1 billion in aid from Ukraine unless they dismissed the prosecutor leading the investigation into Burisma. After making six visits to Ukraine during his tenure as vice president, Joe Biden left the White House in 2017, resulting in a 50% reduction in Hunter’s salary. A recent Gallup poll brings more negative news for Biden’s reelection campaign and the White House, as officials struggle to improve his declining approval rating.
“Americans are less likely now than they were in 2020 to believe several positive personal qualities and characteristics apply to President Joe Biden,” the polling firm noted.
“The biggest decline has come in the percentage believing Biden can manage the government effectively, but his scores are down at least six percentage points on each characteristic,” the pollster added.
