Comer says alleged Biden bribe was $5M, threatens FBI with contempt
NY Post ^ | May 25, 2023 | Steven Nelson

WASHINGTON — House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer says an informant file that he’s seeking from the FBI links President Biden to a $5 million bribery scheme while he was vice president.

Comer (R-Ky.) revealed the size of the alleged bribe for the first time Wednesday in a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray, threatening him with contempt proceedings if he doesn’t share the file pursuant to a May 3 subpoena.

The informant tip is dated June 30, 2020, Comer wrote — an additional clue in the mysterious allegation that triggered a guessing game due to the Biden family’s extensive consulting work in countries where the then-VP held sway.

In a remarkable coincidence, Ukrainian officials held a press conference in Kyiv on June 13, 2020 — 17 days before the FBI tipoff — where they showed off $5 million in cash allegedly offered as a bribe to end an investigation of natural gas company Burisma’s founder Mykola Zlochevsky.

Burisma employed first son Hunter Biden from 2014 to 2019 and an executive from the firm met Vice President Biden at an April 16, 2015, dinner in Washington.

The cash seized by Ukrainian officials in 2020 was paid in American $100 bills that were put on display — and matches the amount that Joe Biden allegedly received years earlier.

The National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine said at the time that three Kyiv bureaucrats, including a current and a former tax official, were arrested and that an additional $1 million was offered to an office-holder working as a middleman.

Note that it was the Ukrainian government that presented the evidence vs H Biden.

Quit name calling!

Please explain how you expect the Republicans to place anyone in jail. All they can do is request action by the DOJ. Do you really think that would do any good?

Have a good feeling for this one.

Suspect that the whistle blower obtained a hard copy or screen capture of the relevant documentation and Comer has it in his possession. The doc was not classified so it was available.

There has been a lot of play about the fact that the doc was not classified and Comer is making the point for several reasons. .

Hopefully, Comer is playing the FBI and Wray to get them to bite on charges of a cover up and obstruction of justice.

This case will never see a court of law so it will be tried in the court of public opinion

IMHO, Comer is setting this up for trial of public opinion to make Biden, the DOJ, the FBI and Wray look as bad as possible.

Dear House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer :

The FBI is now conducting surveillance operations on you, your family and friends.

Act accordingly.

Ooooooo, threatens with contempt of Congress charge. Erie Holder, the Obozo’s A G; was charged by the House for contempt over their Fast and Furious gun running program. And what was the legal consequence paid by Holder? Nothing nada zilch, not one damned thing! Go get ‘em Comer!

I’m not going to bet against that statement because you are correct. It’s Trey Gowdy all over again.

The day Joe Biden met with the Burisma executive, April 16, 2015, was the same day a bunch of rats including Mook and Marc Elias were texting each other about taking donations from foreign agents for Hillary... (mostly Middle Eastern and North African.)

That dinner meeting had more than Ukrainian guests...

Biden business associate, former Kazakh PM arrested on suspicion of treason

Hunter Biden referred to Massimov in a 2016 email as a “close friend.”

Former Kazakh Prime Minister Karim Massimov, a known Biden family business associate, was detained Saturday on suspicion of treason, according to an announcement from the Kazakhstan National Security Committee, a body he chaired until this past week.

Local media report at least 164 people have died as a result of riots that broke out Jan. 2 following an increase in fuel prices.

An unverified photo shows then-Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden flanked by then-Prime Minister Massimov and Kazakh oligarch Kenes Rakishev in the swanky D.C. restaurant Cafe Milano, The New York Post reports.

The photo first surfaced in 2019 on the Kazakhstani Initiative on Asset Recovery, an anti-corruption website. The photo appears to have been taken when Biden met with Ukrainian, Russian and Kazakhstani business associates at Cafe Milano on April 16, 2015, according to the Post.

Journalist Miranda Devine tweeted a link to the photo of the four and included the caption: “Joe and Hunter’s buddy Karim Massimov has met the fate of many Biden business associates.”
