Sounds like Joe Biden has some ‘splainin’ to do.
Just sayin’.
Senator Ron Johnson was good enough to put together a thread of questions the media SHOULD BE asking Joe Biden that he SHOULD be answering. Of course, we’re not holding our breath but this thread is a doozy.
Take a gander.
My investigations into multiple corruptions during the Obama administration have been ongoing for years. I didn’t target @JoeBiden, his actions and glaring conflict of interest yielding millions of dollars for Hunter from a corrupt Ukrainian gas business demanded scrutiny.

Right? Where the heck IS Hunter?!
Hrm.
Two months after Ukraine’s Revolution of Dignity – a revolution against corruption – Hunter seized a multimillion-dollar opportunity available to him because his last name was Biden.

Ukrainian officials, desperate for U.S. support, got the message: If you want U.S. support, don’t touch Burisma.
— Senator Ron Johnson (@SenRonJohnson) August 14, 2020
Gosh, this almost sounds like that whole quid pro quo thing they accused Trump of …
Even Secretary of State Kerry’s stepson knew Hunter’s involvement with Burisma was problematic, severing business ties with Hunter and making clear his reason why. https://t.co/YlSP79Atrr

And considering he’s John Kerry’s stepson, yikes.
Here are some important questions the mainstream media should be asking, and @JoeBiden should be answering:
— Senator Ron Johnson (@SenRonJohnson) August 14, 2020
1.Why did @JoeBiden meet with Hunter’s friend and fellow Burisma board member Devon Archer at the White House on April 16, 2014? Was anything related to Ukraine, Hunter Biden, or Burisma discussed?
— Senator Ron Johnson (@SenRonJohnson) August 14, 2020
2.Was @JoeBiden aware that Devon Archer joined the board of Burisma six days after his April 16, 2014 White House meeting with Archer?
— Senator Ron Johnson (@SenRonJohnson) August 14, 2020
Oof.
3.Was @JoeBiden aware that Burisma’s owner, Mykoloa Zlochevsky, was generally viewed as a corrupt oligarch and that his London bank account containing $23 million had been seized by British officials only 15 days before Hunter Biden joined the board of a company he owned?
— Senator Ron Johnson (@SenRonJohnson) August 14, 2020
Oof again.
4.Was Hunter Biden aware that British officials had seized the bank account of Burisma owner Mykoloa Zlochevsky?
— Senator Ron Johnson (@SenRonJohnson) August 14, 2020
5.When did @JoeBiden first become aware of the reputations for corruption of Burisma and its owner, Mykoloa Zlochevsky?
— Senator Ron Johnson (@SenRonJohnson) August 14, 2020
6.Does @JoeBiden believe Mykoloa Zlochevsky and his company, Burisma, are corrupt?
— Senator Ron Johnson (@SenRonJohnson) August 14, 2020
We’d be shocked if Joe remembers who or what any of these things are BUT definitely something he should be asked about.
7. Was @JoeBiden aware in April 2014 that Hunter Biden joined the board of Burisma?
— Senator Ron Johnson (@SenRonJohnson) August 14, 2020
Meep.
8. When did @JoeBiden first become aware that Hunter Biden joined the board of Burisma?
— Senator Ron Johnson (@SenRonJohnson) August 14, 2020
That. ^
9. When did @JoeBiden first become aware of how much Hunter Biden was being compensated by Burisma?
— Senator Ron Johnson (@SenRonJohnson) August 14, 2020
10. Why do you believe Burisma recruited and paid Devon Archer, whom @JoeBiden met at the White House in 2014, and Hunter Biden to be on its board?
— Senator Ron Johnson (@SenRonJohnson) August 14, 2020
11. What skills or knowledge did Hunter Biden possesses that qualified him to be on Burisma’s board and receive $50,000 to $166,000 per month for his and his partner’s services?
— Senator Ron Johnson (@SenRonJohnson) August 14, 2020
12. What does @JoeBiden know about Hunter Biden’s business dealings in China?
— Senator Ron Johnson (@SenRonJohnson) August 14, 2020
Most important of all. This. ^
More to come. Stay tuned…
— Senator Ron Johnson (@SenRonJohnson) August 14, 2020
Indeed we will.
