Burisma executive 'paid Joe and Hunter Biden $5million EACH to end corruption investigations': Republicans reveal contents of FBI document showing first family's alleged criminal scheme
Daily Mail ^ | 6/09/23 | Neirin Gray Desai, Rob Crilly, Nikki Schwab

House Republicans alleged on Thursday that President Joe Biden and his son Hunter each received a $5 million payment from the Ukrainian natural gas firm Burisma to shake off a corruption probe.

Reps. Anna Paulina Luna and Marjorie Taylor Greene were among those given access to an FBI document from June 2020 that detailed testimony given to agents from an informant who had spoken with Burisma owner Mykola Zlochevsky.

That informant claimed that Zlochevsky said he had doled out $5 million to each Biden to call off an ongoing investigation by the Ukrainian prosecutor general at the time, Viktor Shokin.

Ukrainian prosecutors first launched an investigation into Bursima - the company on which Hunter had a board position for five years - over allegations of money laundering, tax evasion, and corruption in 2012.

Greene has now alleged that the $5 million payments were a 'bribe' paid by Zlochevsky to have Shokin fired - thereby killing the investigation.

Shokin was eventually fired in April 2016, a month after Biden, then-vice president, threatened to withhold $1 billion in loan guarantees to Ukraine if he was not replaced as prosecutor general.

Biden has since claimed that he was pushing for Shokin to be fired because he was failing to properly curtail corruption in Ukraine.

'There's no doubt in my mind that Joe Biden is guilty of bribery,' Luna told Fox News correspondent Chad Pergram.

'There was two separate transactions, one that went to Joe Biden for $5million, one that went to Hunter Biden for $5 million.'

Zlochevsky is a multimillionaire Ukrainian oil and gas oligarch who founded Burisma in 2002. He also served in various positions in the Ukrainian government from 2010 until February 2014.

Burisma brought Hunter onto its board in 2014 as it was looking to expand overseas, even though...

So basically, the whistleblower says Trump got impeached because he told the truth.

You say: “So basically, the whistleblower says Trump got impeached because he told the truth.”
And I say, the FBI knew it all along; knew it before the Biden election and knows it now. And that is why they tried to hide it from Congress. The FBI has failed this Republic, and it is time for its honorable remnant (if such exists) to be absorbed by other entities.

The Criminal Media will not report it. They are too breathless over Trump’s library books.

Receipts are held by the ppl that wired the money.

There are paper and electronic trails.

We need a Conservative Group with the courage and incentive of the Revolutionary War warriors.

Our Goverment is worse than King George.

We fought him to create the USA.

They are begging for it.

...from this UK Daily Mail.

I’m wondering if our Network News channels and newspapers will cover any of this.

This is what the “emoluments clause” was written to prohibit.

Perhaps the Burisma bribes were routed through the chicom investment schemes that have already been exposed.

Millions were paid to the Biden crime family ostensibly as part of multiple “Chinese” deals. These payments were laundered through multiple layers of Biden shell corporations.

To date, no “pro quo” has been found for all this quid. Yet the Chinese investors aren’t suing for non-performance or seemingly concerned to have thrown away all this money for nothing. If the Chinese were simply passing along Burisma’s money for a fee, they wouldn’t expect anything from the Bidens and wouldn’t care. This needs to be researched by Comer, et al.

Biden has openly told everyone in the world in his own words.

Yes... but even then, Biden was lying. SHokin was fired a month later.

Too bad America isn’t a functioning republic anymore to do anything about this.

“Where is the money?”

Not loo long ago that would have been taken up as a challenge by people interested in the truth. These days, the “investigators” stand next to Biden and say, “Yeah...what he said.”

The lack of a sound media is a major cause of the demise of the trust in government. That, and a government that behaves badly.

“ Start Screeching “nothing will happen, nothing will ever happen,””

Past precedent makes this a very likely outcome.
However we need to keep the faith and believe truth will prevail.
