KIEV (Reuters) - A Ukrainian investigation of gas company Burisma is focused solely on activity that took place before Hunter Biden, son of former U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, was hired to sit on its board, Ukraine’s anti-corruption investigation agency said.

The National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) said it was investigating permits granted by officials at the Ministry of Ecology for the use of natural resources to a string of companies managed by Burisma.

But it said the period under investigation was 2010-2012, and noted that this was before the company hired Hunter Biden.

“Changes to the board of Burisma Limited, which are currently the object of international attention, took place only in May 2014, and therefore are not and never were the subject of (the anti-corruption bureau’s) investigation,” the bureau’s statement said.

2. Good to know.

So MF45 and Ghouliani were cooking up sh*t pies to throw at Bidens (both)

This is a trump scandal not a Joe and Hunter Biden scandal.

4. On MSNBC, Richard Engel said that ..

.. Hunter Biden was investigated, worked as a
consultant for an energy company in the Ukraine,
and did nothing "illegal" but that it looked
awkward because of his association with Joe Biden.

That was extremely disappointing to see Engel
misrepresent the facts AND put a negative spin
on what is tantamount to nothing.
