All it takes is to figure out that Project Ukraine started back in 2008, not just 2014. However, on paper, it seems that Huntie went in boots 'n all in 2014.hence daddy's CYA pardon.

So we need to look at irreguarities that happened before 2014.

There is the China angle:

From 2013 to 2020, Biden served as a member of the board of the China-based private equity fund BHR Partners, The founders of BHR Partners included Biden's Rosemont Seneca Partners investment firm (20% equity), along with US-based Thornton Group LLC (10% equity) and two asset managers registered in China.[30][2][21]

And the other bits:

In 2006, Biden and his uncle James Biden purchased international hedge fund Paradigm Global Advisors with an $8 million promissory note.[15] The joint promotion of the fund by an entity of the troubled Stanford Financial Group hastened the unwinding of the company in 2010.[20] In September 2008, Hunter Biden founded a consultancy company named Seneca Global Advisors that offered to help companies expand into foreign markets.[21] Biden was a partner in investment vehicles that included the name "Seneca" to denote his participation.[22] In 2009, Biden, Devon Archer, and Christopher Heinz founded the investment and advisory firm Rosemont Seneca Partners.[15] Biden also co-founded venture capital firm Eudora Global.[10] Biden held the position of counsel in the law firm Boies Schiller Flexner LLP in 2014.[2] From 2011 to 2017, Biden was on the board of directors of World Food Program USA, a 501(c)(3) charity based in Washington, D.C., that supports the work of the UN World Food Programme; he served as board chairman from 2011 to 2015
