"Hunter Biden introduced his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, to a top executive at a Ukrainian energy firm less than a year before the elder Biden pressured government officials in Ukraine into firing a prosecutor who was investigating the company, according to emails obtained by The Post.
The never-before-revealed meeting is mentioned in a message of appreciation that Vadym Pozharskyi, an adviser to the board of Burisma, allegedly sent Hunter Biden on April 17, 2015, about a year after Hunter joined the Burisma board at a reported salary of up to $50,000 a month.
“Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent [sic] some time together. It’s realty [sic] an honor and pleasure,” the email reads.
An earlier email from May 2014 also shows Pozharskyi, reportedly Burisma’s No. 3 exec, asking Hunter for “advice on how you could use your influence” on the company’s behalf.
The blockbuster correspondence — which flies in the face of Joe Biden’s claim that he’s “never spoken to my son about his overseas business dealings” — is contained in a massive trove of data recovered from a laptop computer." NY Post

Sadly, the MSM will insist on covering this up for Biden. The NY Post is an exception that should be commended. pl

You can forget about any serious airing of Biden’ activities with Burisma,
Burisma is Ukraine’s biggest energy company, which makes it of strategic interest to the Deep State. The Biden’s’ activities and rewards must therefore remain covert.

It has been reported (The Hill, NBC News) that the FBI is now, and has been for some time (apparently before it allegedly obtained the hard drive from the computer purported to have belonged to Hunter Biden) investigating whether the emails are part of a foreign (Russian?) disinformation campaign involving Rudy Giuliani.

Although the FBI has not confirmed this, as far as I can tell, this reporting leads me to believe that it has received a computer hard drive, and that it is investigating Rudy Giuliani and whether the computer is linked to Giuliani as part of a disinformation campaign.
If so, it could be presumed that the emails may be false. I guess we will see sooner or later.

deap,
Technological advancements in the next 10-20 years are making it real a possibility unlike before.

Biden has pinned his presidential vision on these kind of initiatives:

I'm not trying to make a defense of the more lunatic ideals of the hard Left nor am I suggesting we are at risk of extinction if we don't make changes in the next 10 years, but renewable energy appears to be the way of the future and if the US doesn't lead the way on it, another country or union, like China or Europe (if they get their act together), will. The Democrats are taking the much bolder steps to do precisely that. Republicans are lagging on this front.

How can Chokan's very existence or why he was fired be of ANY interest to the VP of the US?

TV: Because interest in the pursuit of corruption in Ukraine was a policy of the Vice President's boss, President Obama. And the US was deeply disappointed in Shokin's (I think that is how his name is spelled) failure to vigorously pursue corruption. Shokin was also problematic for the International Monetary Fund and the European Union.
I can't access this article from the Financial Times because I don't pay for subscriptions, but the first time I accessed and read it, before it put a cookie on my computer, it provided an explanation of the entire episode much more completely than I can and with much greater detail. Try it and see whether you can get through to the article.

You could also just Google "Shokin fired explained" and you will find a lot of reports saying basically the same thing. There is an article in the Atlantic which attempts to explain why firing Shokin as a condition of a loan is different than the President demanding investigations into Biden and Burisma as a condition of appropriated military assistance, but I won't go there.
You may also find a letter from Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) strongly supporting US policy in Ukraine at that time. He has sort of done a 180 degree reversal recently, but in 2016 he was right there behind Biden.
What seems to be clear, except to the right of the political spectrum, is that Vice President Biden was acting as a representative of the US and advancing US policy. And that he did nothing that the US did not support.
