Yatsenyuk in Kiev on December 9, 2015. As he bragged on camera at the Council on Foreign Relations: “I looked at them and said: ‘I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money.’ Well, son of a bitch. He got fired.”
“I think Burisma would have gone out of business if it didn’t have the brand attached to it,” Archer told House investigators on July 30. He elaborated that “the brand” terminology arose “In the context of the Biden family.” Archer added that he meant “No one else in the Biden family. It was Hunter Biden and him.” – Joe Biden.
As if pitching new business, Hunter once boasted that “the Bidens are the best” at delivering results for their high-dollar clients. Who could disagree? Even the president’s critics must admire the Bidens’ world-class customer service.
