Senator Chuck Grassley on Thursday released the FBI report that Republicans claim proves the Bidens accepted bribes from Ukraine. But there’s just one problem: there’s still no evidence.
House Republicans have accused the Biden family of corruption for months but have been unable to provide any actual evidence linking President Joe Biden or his son Hunter to any wrongdoing. The GOP has repeatedly insisted that the just-released FBI document, which House members were initially allowed to see in June, proves the two men accepted bribes.
But this is an unverified form, and it relies on a Rudy Giuliani conspiracy theory.
Donald Trump and Giuliani, his personal attorney at the time, first pushed the conspiracy that the Biden family accepted a $10 million bribe to remove former Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin in 2016 to stop a probe into Hunter Biden’s role at the oil company Burisma Holdings.
Grassley has now released the form, which does mention that Zlochevsky made the initial bribery allegations. Republicans are celebrating the move, insisting it proves that the Bidens are guilty of corruption.
But the thing is, FD 10-23s are used to record unverified information. All this document does is confirm that someone said that Zlochesvky made the accusation. It doesn’t actually provide concrete proof. This claim has been repeatedly debunked by multiple State Department officials and intelligence experts on Russia and Ukraine. This week, even former Giuliani associate Lev Parnas said the theory has no merit, calling it a “wild goose chase.”

IIRC-—UKRAINE COMPANY ackhowledged Hunter’s pay==$1 MILLION
A year——Also his “business partner”.
“Debunked” is a leftist synonym for “I say it ain’t true!”

$83,333.33 a month would cause the “Above $10,000” flag to go up at bank.
Talking points for sure, and a horsesh!t assessment. The document details conversations and meetings among execs who wondered whether Hunter was worth a damn at anything. Answer: “No, he’s actually stupider than his dog; but the influence of his old man can grease a lot of skids for us.”
Unfiltered? Yes, thank God! Debunked? Only to someone with manure for brains (who lives in another galaxy).
Yes. Straw man talking points.
thats what I was thinking. They were proven but not to the democrat standard (that is not achievable).
“Debunked “. Move along nothing to see here.
Lock them up! I mean it this time!!
All that money for debunked what, then? $10 million for things that aren’t? Somebody in foreign lands needs their money given to the Bidens returned right now! Since Joe has no knowledge of this, I’m sure he’ll be fine with that.
They have Biden on call discussing this with poroshenko as well as the foreign affairs blunder. There’s too many coincidences for it to be a mistake. I also think the recordings are out and will probably be released next week.
“This claim has been repeatedly debunked by multiple State Department officials and intelligence experts on Russia and Ukraine.”
There’s the proof. Haha! You can’t dispute what those guys say!
debunked by anonymous people
pretty sketchy
What a bunch of lies
Yeah but the whistleblower says they have 17 tapes proving it.
No bias there! These deep staters are completely trustworthy and honest- trust us!
I checked online NBC, ABC, CBS, MSNBC and CNN:
I never go there.
They do not have a single word about this bribery scandal.
Not one word.
The Demoncrats haven’t debunked anything. Liars all.
Everything is a conspiracy theory or racist.
There’s enough on Hunter’s laptop to convict them all.
Why won’t they use it?
Not like the DOJ will do anything about it.
