The Bidens are so dirty, so corrupt, that it makes my skin crawl as an American. Our Constitutional Republic is broken owed largely to state-run media.

Joe Biden pushed for Ukraine to frack gas during his 2014 vice presidential visit – just days after his son Hunter joined the board of a firm set to profit from it.

The first son joined the board of allegedly corrupt Ukrainian gas firm Burisma on April 18, 2014, the company announced in a press release at the time.

Three days later, Joe was aboard Air Force 2 for an official visit to the East European country.

One of his senior officials briefed reporters on the plane that the VP was pushing ‘medium- and long-term strategies to boost conventional gas production, and also to begin to take advantage of the unconventional gas reserves that are in Ukraine.’

The ‘unconventional’ reserves were a reference to fracking, a gas extraction method for which Burisma was one of the few firms in Ukraine to have a license at the time.

The official said Joe was also promising help for Ukrainian energy firms from US experts.

Biden’s push for greater energy production was politically significant – making Ukraine more economically independent from Russia. But the move also led to millions of dollars for the company his son was then working for.

According to Burisma’s website, it ramped up production from 100million cubic meters in 2010 to 1.3 billion cubic meters in 2018 – when it generated revenues of at least $400million, according to a Reuters estimate.

In 2019 Burisma held 35 licenses for hydrocarbon production in Ukraine’s main oil and gas basins.

According to energy industry publication KeyFactsEnergy.com it began using hydraulic fracturing, known as fracking, in 2016 and by May 2019 used the technology in 10% of its wells.

A Burisma executive explained how the company benefited from the help of US expertise in Ukraine, in a 2017 interview with Ukrainian trade publication Nefterynok.

Head of country operations Taras Burdeinyi said Burisma partnered with US firms ​​Schlumberger and ProPetro Services for fracking in Ukraine, allowing it to grow the ‘largest modern rig fleet’ in the country, three years after Biden’s intervention.

Mike McCormick, a White House stenographer who was on board the April 2014 Air Force 2 flight, told DailyMail.com that the anonymous ‘senior official’ who gave the briefing was Jake Sullivan, who now serves as President Biden’s National Security Advisor.

‘Our job basically was to record everything that was said to the press, or public facing, and very quickly make transcripts that the White House could release,’ McCormick said.
