FBI source: Hunter Biden was ‘stupid’ but Burisma paid him to keep Joe Biden involved

Burisma executives thought Hunter Biden was “stupid” but felt they had to keep paying him in order to continue political protection from his father, Joe Biden, an FBI confidential source reported to the bureau in 2020.

The unverified allegations were captured on an FBI form that has been the source of fierce debate in Washington in recent months. Republicans released the four-page document Thursday.

The source, whose identity was redacted, said Burisma officials admitted they hired Hunter Biden to “protect us, through his dad, from all kinds of problems.” In a subsequent meeting, the officials expressed confidence the Bidens would clear obstacles to Burisma getting listed on an American stock exchange.

“Don’t worry, Hunter will take care of all of those issues through his dad,” one executive said, according to the FBI’s summary of the source’s information.

The source also said one of the Burisma figures had 17 recordings involving the Bidens. Two included President Biden himself, the source said.

The document, known as an FD-1023, is the form the FBI uses to collect raw, unverified information from human sources. Republicans had obtained closed-door access but demanded the administration make the document public.

After that didn’t happen, Iowa Sen. Charles E. Grassley, the Senate’s longest-serving Republican and a champion of whistleblowers, released the FBI document with minimal redactions, saying he obtained it through legal means.

He said it implicates the president in a “criminal bribery scheme.”

“While the FBI sought to obfuscate and redact, the American people can now read this document for themselves, without the filter of politicians or bureaucrats, thanks to brave and heroic whistleblowers,” Mr. Grassley said. “What did the Justice Department and FBI do with the detailed information in the document? And why have they tried to conceal it from Congress and the American people....

... is treated as if Hunter was caught stealing a pack of cigarettes when he was 15.
Which he probably did.

“Burisma executives thought Hunter Biden was “stupid”

And they were correct.
But they were also stupid for trusting a Biden.

Is the FBI stupid enough to think this exonerates Joe “Blow.”

My favorite Left mother is so in the dark on all of this and she views her CNN/MSNBC/MSM outlets as completely objective purveyors of news. It’s insane and frankly my brother and I just ignore her ignorance and don’t even talk politics anymore because she’s actually a nice person.

I truly believe that Leftism is a secular cult and people like my dear mother literally glitch out with cognitive dissonance and willful ignorance when confronted with how corrupt the people they vote for truly are.

They have never learned critical thinking.

They are conditioned to accept what is spoon fed to them from the MSM and never question anything they say.

“... there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday […] it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it. [...] The eyeless creature at the other table swallowed it fanatically, passionately, with a furious desire to track down, denounce, and vaporize anyone who should suggest that last week the ration had been thirty grams.”
― Orwell George, 1984
