Having spent rather a lot of time looking at Ukraine’s gas industry over the years - it’s nearly impossible to find a company where shady things haven’t happened in the past. While of course there are still some actors who would like things to return to the pre-2014 situation, there are also a lot of people working hard to reform the system and stamp out corruption. But because you have to work within a web of pre-existing contracts and relationships, the reformers have little choice but to engage with entities that may in the past have been corrupt. That’s just how this kind of thing inevitably works.
So I don’t think that we can impugn Hunter Biden just because he worked at a Ukrainian gas company. I do remember thinking at the time that this would burn Joe Biden and was a politically naive move. It’s like everyone forgot Swiftboat Veterans for Freedom.
