Hunter Biden's former business partner was willing to go before a grand jury. He never got the chance.

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.

I am wondering why Camel has no been induced yet to resign for health reasons. Then again she may well be just what the CCP doctor ordered.

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

It means the national security state has determined that Biden needs to be off the 2024 ticket and has given the old media permission to start this off.

Republicans will be allowed to do the deep state’s work.

“Republicans will be allowed to do the deep state’s work.”

Partly, but don’t ignore RFK Jr., who’ll probably beat Biden in Iowa and NH, setting off the feeding frenzy that will end Biden’s candidacy but keep him on as the puppet he is until the election.

Tucker had him on, and then a day or two later he said he wasn’t going to go after Hunter, and pulled his punches on the story. He called Hunter a friend, and said Hunter wrote a recommendation for one of Tucker’s kids to get into college.

I posted this a couple of weeks ago:

In case you were wondering what happened to Tony Bobulinski, a business partner of Hunter's, Wikipedia seems to have somewhat canceled him.

He has no Wikipedia entry. A search for “Bobulinski” on Wikipedia now redirects to "Biden–Ukraine conspiracy theory":

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biden%E2%80%93Ukraine_conspiracy_theory

Talk about leftist bias.

“Partly, but don’t ignore RFK Jr., who’ll probably beat Biden in Iowa and NH, setting off the feeding frenzy that will end Biden’s candidacy but keep him on as the puppet he is until the election.”

RFK is putting huge pressure on the D’s now. He’s polling at 20% and I remember 1968 when McCarthy knocked LBJ off the ticket.

The D’s need to put a Hubert Humphrey out fairly soon to make sure RFK doesn’t walk with the nomination or put up such a serious fight that he cripples whatever national security state candidate the D Establishment wants. And that means letting ol’ Joe know soon that he is not welcome on the 2024 ticket and making him accept that.

It’ll be interesting to watch. R’s in Congress will play right into the D plan if they make this Biden Biden Biden. Biden is gone. Where R’s in Congress can actually do something good is to focus on weaponization of DOJ, FBI, CIA instead of making it all about Biden. But it’s far more important to let the public know in their bones what horribly corrupt pieces of crap our formerly trusted federal agencies have become.
