Vice President Biden was the Obama’s administration’s point man in Ukraine and told the government that the prosecutor was corrupt and that he must be fired or it would lose a billion-dollar loan promised by the United States. Ukraine is poor and has been fighting Russian separatists, and so the man was fired.
The action may have been justified, but consider that this lawyer-son had built his career on his daddy’s influence, representing foreign and domestic companies dependent on the U.S. government’s whims and deliberations, and was making $50,000 a month as a director doing what? It is unclear because, as others have noted, he had no background in energy or anything else that would matter, just an interesting last name.
So one of the most corrupt companies in one of the most corrupt countries hires a neophyte for its board of directors whose only apparent qualification is his last name. And his father, looking to protect his son, gets the prosecutor investigating his offspring fired.
