Hunter Biden's former business partner was willing to go before a grand jury. He never got the chance.
CBS News ^ | June 29, 2023 | BY CATHERINE HERRIDGE, GRAHAM KATES

A former business partner of Hunter and James Biden, who worked directly with them on a 2017 China energy deal, was never asked to testify to a Delaware grand jury investigating Hunter Biden, two sources familiar with the discussions tell CBS News.

Tony Bobulinski, the former business partner, was open to testifying, and his attorney reached out to the office of Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss. Weiss did not return their calls, the sources said. Weiss' decision not to bring Bobulinski is the latest indication that prosecutors investigating Hunter Biden may have avoided investigating allegations about his father, President Joe Biden.

In October 2020, Bobulinski was invited by the Trump campaign to attend a presidential debate after he released business records about his dealings with Hunter and James Biden. At a press conference before the debate, he claimed to have met with Joe Biden in May 2017, as part of discussions over a potential business deal with a Chinese energy firm, CEFC.

"I've heard Joe Biden say that he's never discussed business with Hunter. That is false. I have firsthand knowledge about this because I directly dealt with the Biden family, including Joe Biden," Bobulinski said at the press conference. Contacted this week by CBS News, Bobulinski said he stands behind those statements.

Bobulinski's claims have garnered new interest among GOP congressional investigators after IRS whistleblowers gave closed-door testimony to the House Ways and Means Committee. In those transcripts, released last week, the whistleblower alleges the president's son received preferential treatment that allegedly stymied federal investigators. The whistleblower, Gary Shapley, testified that investigative leads that might have led to Joe Biden were not pursued in the late summer and fall of 2020. At the time, Donald Trump was president and the attorney general was Bill Barr.

This was the brave man who went on the air with Tucker. How this interview didn’t explode into a full-blown scandal the next day is a stunning and sickening indictment of the corruption.

CBS wrote this story? That ain’t right. Something smells if CBS did this.

I’m expecting Bobulinski to die in an untimely submarine accident. Or something.

If CBS is reporting it, then the mockingbirds have sent the memo.

Make dopey joe resign with very little time left on the clock for heels up to establish her historical-hysterical self as POTUS and presumptive front runner and coronate newsome to be the 2024 demoncrap candidate.

His press conference was sparsely attended, and nothing he said made it on the air anywhere other than Fox News and C-SPAN.

C-SPAN video of his press conference:

Never a good idea for a still living enemy of the Bidens or Clintons to boast about all they knew and could testify about someday.

Sounds like a crime was committed by the DOJ. It all should be overthrown and re-tried in a different venue, judicial panel, etc. All in cahoots, lawyers, judges, law enforcement, media personalities snd owners, tried for High Treason after a 30 year hold in Gitmo. F the Fourth Reich.

The real news is that the corrupt lame stream media is reporting this. I guess the order has been given that Biden is out and will not be reelected. Hunter will probably be suicided soon. Maybe Hillary’s suicide hotline is still taking orders.

Are they?

Because if this was Trump, it would be promoted as the news of the century by EVERY news outlet and Leftist troll on social media.

It got one story on CBS...

Let me know if this goes anywhere, or just dies on the puny vine that was allowed to fruit this one time.

No offense to you, but I don't trust them.

This is from CBS? Really? Oh, it’s by Catherine Herridge. I guess I didn’t realize she had moved to CBS.

Well probably because he was seen on Tucker Carlson's show exposing the felony actions of the Biden family taking hundreds of millions from the CCP!!....

Biden will not go gentle into that good night. He will burn the house down.

The Goldwater walk will be a waste of time. You can’t reason with the delusional.
