What did Hunter Biden put into the partnership except his father's name?

As conservative author Peter Schweizer details in his book "Secret Empires,” Biden and Archer, along with James Bulger of the consultancy firm the Thornton Group, took several meetings in 2010 with high-profile business and government interests in China. As Rudy Giuliani has pointed out, James Bulger is the nephew of mobster Whitey Bulger and the son of former Massachusetts state Sen. Billy Bulger.

Schweizer came across an account of the meetings posted by the Thornton Group — in Chinese — in which Chinese executives expressed their "warm welcome” to the "Thornton Group, with its US partner Rosemont Seneca chairman Hunter Biden (second son of the now Vice President Joe Biden).” According to the Thornton Group’s account — a copy of which Schweizer emailed to FactCheck.org — the purpose of the meetings was to "explore the possibility of commercial cooperation and opportunity.”

It is a documented fact that Hunter Biden did serve on BHR’s original board of directors while his father was vice president, but his attorney told the Washington Post that Biden was on the board of the advisory firm that did not directly invest, but instead advised those who did. The younger Biden, through his attorney, also denied doing any business when he accompanied his father to China, even though he set-up a photo with his father and one of his Chinese associates.

So, Joe Biden becomes Obama’s "point man” on Ukraine and suddenly Hunter gets a $50,000 a month seat on the board of a controversial Ukrainian energy company. Then Biden takes his son Hunter to China and Hunter’s company later inks a billion-dollar deal with China, but there’s nothing illegal going on say, Biden and his attorneys.
