Hello troops! The below thread is a read out of the Senator Johnson’s ‘interim’ report into Hunter Biden and his involvement in a Ukrainian energy company Burisma. I’m keeping an open mind and hope you will too. This will be done in 2 threads.

A couple things as we begin the review of Senator Ron Johnson’s ‘interim’ report on Hunter Biden and Burisma. Every report I’ve read thus far has been the result of an FBI 302 (agent notes), deposition transcript of congressional investigation interviews or result of hearings.
This is not that. There have been no publicly available interview or deposition transcripts. There have been no public hearings held in the Senate to investigate any allegation made within this interim report, and any available report is one based on completion, never interim.
Also, it is important to understand Sen Ron Johnson spent 4th of July 2018 in Moscow as part of a Republican delegation sent to discuss meddling in the ‘18 midterm elections. The message was they knew what they did in 2016 and they were open to a dialogue. https://www.npr.org/2018/07/06/626664156/gop-senators-spend-july-4-in-moscow
Finally Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer & Senator Ron Wyden called out Sens Johnson, Grassley for accepting information from a known Russian agent (Andrei Dirkach) and furthering Russian propaganda to denigrate Joe Biden. CIA says it’s run by Putin. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2020-election/cia-assessed-putin-likely-directing-russian-effort-discredit-biden-say-n1240762
Let’s begin...the central thesis is Hunter Biden’s college roommate Devon Archer, was hired to the board of company called Burisma in Ukraine. Archer later hired Hunter Biden to become a member of the board as well. So far, Joe Biden has not committed a crime. We read on...
At the time Hunter and Archer joined the board, Burisma was under investigation but Johnson neglects to tell us why. He says British officials seized $23m from Burisma prior to Hunter joining. He does not say why.
Johnson introduces the Revolution of Dignity as being an anti corruption uprising. He states Ukraine was desperate for US support. He claims hiring Hunter Biden created an immediate potential conflict of interest that would prove to be problematic to implement US policy.
Me: ok, a couple of things. Is it possible Hunter Biden was hired to bring integrity to Burisma? They were corrupt, under investigation. And when Johnson says they were desperate for US support, like please don’t extort us in a quid pro quo defense for a WH meeting desperate or?
Me again, the 4th paragraph could have been written by Stretch Armstrong. I am reading this with an open mind, I truly am. But the guano is piling up quickly. I fear we are heading into a nepotism argument.
Johnson states An American company Henniges contracted with a Chinese company via a Chinese investment firm called BHR. BHR was formed by a merger between Bohai and Rosemont Seneca Partners. Hunter Biden created Rosemont Seneca with John Kerry’s stepson.
Me: I met Rae Dawn Chong at a concert one night. Rae Dawn Chong was in a movie called The Color Purple with Oprah Winfrey. Oprah Winfrey interviewed Kevin Bacon. Because I met Rae Dawn Chong, does not mean I met Kevin Bacon.
Me: If Senators Johnson & Grassley are against nepotism, as it seems toward Hunter Biden, they are going to be super pissed when they find out the Republican Party paid $100,000 to get Donald trump JUNIOR’S book on The NY Times bestseller list. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2019/nov/22/republicans-bulk-bought-donald-trump-jr-triggered-book
Johnson tries to wrestle back the narrative in paragraph 5. This was no doubt added recently as a response to the thrashing he took on the Senate floor by his colleagues last week. Says investigation was hampered by investigations(?) impeachment, covid-19, obstructive behavior.
Says the public needs to know. Says this is not Russian disinformation as claimed by the Democrats. What an odd thing to put in your interim report on an investigation that was hampered by...investigations.
Johnson says the potential conflict of interest concerns made it difficult for US officials to implement Obama’s Ukraine policy. Paging George Kent. You’ll remember him as the witness who was standoffy during the impeachment hearing he was alarmed at Giuliani’s involvement in 
And there’s the first mention of George Kent! Johnson says Kent reported it was awkward for Biden to be on the board. Says Kerry knew his step son was on the board then claimed he didn’t know. So far. For those keeping score, Joe Biden has not committed a crime.
We’ve established that Ukraine is wrought with corruption. Johnson says the owner of Burisma paid a $7m bribe while Hunter Biden was on the board. So not Hunter Biden. US officials were instructed not to name names publicly.
Seems a pretty standard foreign diplomacy practice to not embarrass your host. Like say Ambassador Hoekstra did. https://www.newsweek.com/ambassador-dutch-far-right-fundraiser-pete-hoekstra-1533482
Johnson drops a bombshell! I hope you’re sitting while reading this. Hunter Biden, the son of the Vice President had a secret service security detail! The horror! The corruption! The outrage! *I’m being told this is totally normal.
There are allegations about money transfers to Hunter Biden from the wife of the Mayor of Moscow (doesn’t say for what), he says Hunter paid women ‘who appear to be’ linked to prostitution and human trafficking. But has yet to provide evidence or context.
