What Went Down On Day 1 Of The Impeachment Hearings

Kent said in his closed-door testimony that he tried to raise the alarm about Hunter Biden’s appointment to Burisma’s board back in 2015, because it could create the impression of a conflict of interest. This was an obvious breadcrumb for Republicans, so it’s not surprising to see Castor starting to seize on it.

Aha, now we are getting Castor saying “Hunter Biden” and “Burisma” a lot. That’s the ticket! (For Castor.)

It looks like the direction we are now going in is: What did Burisma do and (possibly) what was Hunter Biden’s role there? Just laying that out in clear terms might help the GOP case a little if they can make the whole thing look dirty. To be clear, while we don’t have evidence of wrongdoing, Hunter Biden’s role at least seems like an opportunity that came about because he has a powerful father and potentially not because of his qualifications per se.
