EXCLUSIVE: Bill Barr Confirms Rep. Jamie Raskin Lied About Biden Family Corruption Investigation
BY: MARGOT CLEVELAND
JUNE 07, 2023
It’s not true. It wasn’t closed down,” William Barr told The Federalist on Tuesday in response to Democrat Rep. Jamie Raskin’s claim that the former attorney general and his “handpicked prosecutor” had ended an investigation into a confidential human source’s allegation that Joe Biden had agreed to a $5 million bribe. “On the contrary,” Barr stressed, “it was sent to Delaware for further investigation.”
Former Attorney General Barr went on the record with The Federalist following statements Raskin made to the press Monday afternoon. Soon after attending a closed-door meeting with House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer and the FBI — at which lawmakers reviewed the FD-1023 form summarizing a CHS’s detailed allegations that then-Vice President Joe Biden agreed to accept money from a foreign national to affect policy decisions — Raskin spoke to the media.
“What I learned,” Raskin claimed, “was that Attorney General Barr named Scott Brady, who was the U.S. attorney for Western Pennsylvania, to head up a group of prosecutors who would look into all the allegations related to Ukraine.”
“After Rudy Giuliani surfaced these allegations,” Raskin continued, Brady’s team looked into the FD-1023 and “in August determined that there was no grounds to escalate from an initial assessment to a preliminary investigation,” and so “they called an end to the investigation.”
The Maryland Democrat then reiterated his claim that this was “under Attorney General William Barr and his handpicked prosecutor Mr. Brady, who was a Trump appointee.” “They were the ones who decided” there were no further grounds for investigation, Raskin’s claimed, adding: “If there is a complaint, it is with Attorney General William Barr, the Trump Justice Department, and the team that the Trump administration appointed to look into it.”
Raskin would then double down on his claim that it was Barr and Brady who closed down the investigation, issuing a press release saying that in August 2020, Barr and his “hand-picked U.S. Attorney” signed off on closing an assessment into the FD-1023 form that memorialized the CHS’s claims.
But that’s just not true, according to the former attorney general. Instead, the confidential human source’s claims detailed in the FD-1023 were sent to the Delaware U.S. attorney’s office for further investigation, according to Barr.
That, however, was just one of Raskin’s deceptions: The ranking member of the House Oversight Committee also falsely suggested the CHS’s allegations were related to the investigation of information Rudy Giuliani had unearthed of the Biden family corruption in Ukraine.
Not so, according to an individual familiar with the investigation who told The Federalist that the CHS and the FD-1023 summary of his statement were both “unrelated to Rudy Giuliani” and “not derived” from any information Giuliani provided. This corroborates the House Oversight Committee’s representation that the June 30, 2020, FD-1023 “stands on its own” and was not part of the documents Giuliani provided the FBI in January 2020.
In fact, according to the House Oversight Committee, the FD-1023 in question “contains information from the FBI’s confidential human source dating back to another FD-1023 generated in 2017,” which completely removes Giuliani from the mix.
Raskin’s office did not respond to a request for comment.

Journalists Are Asking Ukrainian Soldiers To Hide Their Nazi Patches, NYT Admits
The New York Times has been forced to very, very belatedly deal with something which had long been obvious and known to many independent analysts and media outlets, but which has been carefully shielded from the mainstream masses in the West for obvious reasons.
The surprising Monday Times headline said that “Nazi Symbols on Ukraine’s Front Lines Highlight Thorny Issues of History.” This acknowledgement comes after literally years of primarily indy journalists and geopolitical commentators pointing out that yes indeed... Ukraine’s military and paramilitary groups, especially those operating in the east since at least 2014, have a serious Nazi ideology problem. This has been exhaustively documented, again, going back years. But the report, which merely tries to downplay it as a “thorny issue” of Ukraine’s “unique” “History” - suggests that the real problem for Western PR is fundamentally that it’s being displayed so openly. Ukrainian troops are being asked to cover those Nazi symbols please!—as Matt Taibbi sarcastically quipped in commenting on the report.
To be expected, the Times still tries to run cover while desperately seeking to ‘reassure’ its audience by writing that “In the short term, that threatens to reinforce Putin’s propaganda and giving fuel to his false claims that Ukraine must be ‘de-Nazified’ — a position that ignores the fact that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is Jewish.”
New levels of cope indeed..
Worldwide There is just so much evil and so much historical falsehood everywhere one turns. Governments, intelligence agencies, business - all types and every level
Disappointment after disappointment.
There is something very appealing about adapting a hermit life in a far away rural location..
Liars.
Who does he think he is, Adam Schiff?
Flat Stanley was a hoot! I Had forgotten about him. Never heard of the elf -except the one on the shelf. 😊
I thought the Schiff mini-me was Dan Goldman (D-NY) but Raskin is sure a close 2nd.
However, considering that all Demonrats are notorious liars they are all Adam Shitt clones.
We need to enlist this Grandma in our Posse.

A Good Read just sent to me....
“Those police officers really looked kind of pathetic.”
I know for a fact here in my state they have been dumbing down the requirements in order to get more police. I would gander to say that is happening everywhere.
ty for the stats
“and I have never joined twitter. Did it count me.”
I didn’t even think of that, I wasn’t logged in either.
Just the thought of using a debit card makes me nervous. I have a couple because I had to get them to use the ATMs but I never use them for anything else. I’ll stick to credit cards for at least I get to check the transactions and dispute them if something is off.
By the way, watch out if you have a Citi card. They are awful about disputes, always siding with the merchant. I had returned a true tears device to an optometrist. I even had a receipt that said I returned it. I submitted all that and Citi still denied my dispute. Then the optometrist even told them I returned it and they didn’t change it. So the optometrist gave me my money back.
It was a quick outing. We only hit two thrift stores but it was fun. Now I’m back home with the kittens. I’m getting their carriers ready, putting in clean towels and putting on tags with names. Spay day is tomorrow and neuter day is friday. It can’t come fast enough for milky way! The poor thing has been in heat twice after weaning the kittens.
Got it thank you! No it’s never tmi. It’s just trying to remember where I put the information once I put it in a file!
I don’t know if this has been posted yet.
If any of you use Instagram I would say get off of it.

The explanation as to why Democrats today are fearless in proposing insane policies
Why? How did it become okay for Democrats and leftists to suddenly in less than a few years go from defending normal sex and marriage to supporting the genital mutilation of young children and to support cross-dressing men changing in women’s locker rooms? Why have inner city Democratic Party politicians gone from trying to arrest shoplifters in order to at least maintain a semblance of law to passing laws making illegal for any employees at a retail store from stopping shoplifting in any way, while simultaneously advocating “defunding the police” and routinely releasing murderers and criminals without charge?
The willingness of Democrats to suddenly in only the last five years to become so passionately in favor of the worst of the queer agenda, including cutting up little kids — against their parents’ wishes — is because they are now utterly confident they can rig any election in their favor. Since Trump’s election Democrats have been honing their election tampering techniques, first tested nationally in 2020 to defeat Trump, then refined significantly in 2022 to prevent Republicans from winning a number of state elections while reducing their victories in Congress.
Democrats now believe those techniques will guarantee them victories nationwide, no matter what crazy or radical policies they put forth or advocate. In places like California and New York it won’t take much manipulation to swing an election, because Democrats know that their opposition is relatively weak anyway. In swing states however they are now confident they can produce whatever result they need, especially in areas where they have long maintained control. There will be no revolt in formerly Democratic Party strongholds, no matter how many parents decide to take a red pill and become Republican voters. And in many regions that might be shifting to the right, the Democrats will manufacture whatever votes they need to guarantee victory.
This is why the politics of the Democratic Party shifted so radically in only the last five years. They can now be honest about their beliefs, because they hold power and do not intend under any condition to relinquish it.
Though we all must still go to the polls and vote, we must also recognize that we can no longer win our country back simply by voting. We will have to fight for our rights and our freedoms. A major effort must be made to clean up the election process, something Republicans have so far made little effort in doing.
And if that is not done, and soon, the fight will increasingly be on the streets, using pitchforks, bats, and guns. That is my sad but pessimistic prediction. Elections are no longer a trustworthy solution, because reliable elections no longer exist.
“The dumbing down of kids in government schools,.....”
We were so ignorant about what was happening in our schools and how many times did we say “Listen to your teacher?”
About 20-25 years ago I learned they played Al Gores video on Global Warming to my Grandkids. They are in their 30’s now and they still believe it no matter what we say.
“64 million, where are these people coming from?”
A lot of use picked it up from freerepublic. I imagine some from facebook etc.
