Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley on Thursday published an unclassified FBI document containing confidential human source information related to an alleged bribery scheme involving Joe and Hunter Biden in which a Ukrainian gas company hired Hunter Biden to secure access to his father to help the firm stifle an investigation into its dealings.
The House Oversight Committee previously issued a subpoena to obtain the document, with which FBI Director Christopher Wray did not comply. Though he ultimately permitted the committee members to view the FD-1023 in a secure location, the contents remained unpublished until Grassley's Thursday release.
The document shows that the bureau had a trusted source privy to Burisma's efforts to quash a probe from then-Ukrainian Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin and its plans to expand to the U.S. and secure a company for IPO purposes.

Here are the key takeaways from the CHS claims outlined in the document.
Burisma Holdings hired Hunter Biden to have his father "protect" the company
During CHS's first meeting with Burisma leaders, senior official Vadim Pojarskii reportedly stated that Burisma had hired Hunter Biden to "protect us, through his dad, from all kinds of problems," though Pojarskii declined to elaborate.
In another meeting, the CHS conversed with CEO Mykola Zlochevsky about President Joe Biden's recent declaration that Ukrainian Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin, who was investigating Burisma at the time, was corrupt and ought to be removed from office.
Zlochevsky, in that instance, told the CHS not to fret about the adverse impact such a declaration may have on Burisma's prospects, saying "[d]on't worry Hunter will take care of all of those issues through his dad."
Biden ultimately succeeded in getting Shokin fired after threatening Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko that he would withhold $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees if he did not remove him.

This paragraph caught my attention:
“During a phone call after the 2016 presidential election, Zlochevksy expressed disappointment in former President Donald Trump’s victory, prompting the CHS to press the Burisma CEO on whether he was worried about the company’s connection with the Bidens.”
Who came up with the plan to make an issue of any phone call by Trump regarding the Biden family’s corruption with Ukraine to the point they would file impeachment charges against Trump? That had to be planned prior to any phone call. If Trump got too close to the truth, an immediate outcry would be had by the State Department. Was it Biden himself. Victoria Nuland? Brennan? Was Nancy Pelosi in on it? Who instigated that plan? Because that trap was sprung very quickly.
Dear FReepers.
Nuttin’ gonna happen. No one sees a cell. Not Brennan, Biden, Stryzok, Barr... None.
DC does not turn on DC. Trump may do time. They have the crooked prosecutor, judge and grand jury. If it’s not Jack Smith, it will be GA, or NYC or even Michigan. They cannot have DJT on the ballot. They may even may to try to do more than jail him (I pray not).
Joe may pull out via his own 25th Amendment, but then McCarthy is VP. Kams is useless as a person and politically, so they may try to ride out Joe for another 1.5 years.
Kammy would nominate a new veep, wouldn’t she?
If the GOP were a real party, it would impeach. It likes to tantalize, but won’t follow through.
It likes to tantalize….
Better word, bloviate…
Joe has doubles, and they have been using AI video’s from the time of his Nomination Acceptance Speech.
Joe Biden’s speech? (Acceptance Speech) (Aug 31, 2020)
https://www.nytimes.com/video/us/100000007316521/biden-pittsburgh.html
Is this a body double? The speech and delivery is NOT Joe Biden.
Not even sure the photo is. Note the facial features below the nose. Much younger man?
We saw something similar during Hillary’s campaign. Remember?
The GOP is the controlled opposition. Only a handful in DC that haven’t been completely corrupted. That’s my opinion anyway. They’re like Fox News.
Corruption Behind Deep States Attacks On Trump!
2017 5 minute video. The Bidens weren’t even clever or smart enough use numbered accounts!

I don’t watch the news so do I assume not a word of these is reaching the news consumers at home?
I'm trying to find out exactly what CHS is, and if I hadn't looked at the document I might never have know what they were referring to with CHS.
Wasn’t the document, or its claims, already discredited?
It’s the uniparty.
Time to repeal the 17th Amendment and eliminate the Senior Executive Service
Our Founding Father’s were not stupid!
VINDMAN and ERIC CIAMELLA (sp?).....aka the Name that must NOT be spoken!!
I don’t trust anybody who works in DC. They are supposed to work FOR us, actually we work for them.
“Joe may pull out via his own 25th Amendment, but then McCarthy is VP. Kams is useless as a person and politically . . .”
Read the 25th Amendment to the Constitution. McCarthy will not be VP if Biden resigns or dies in office. If the office of VP is occupied, when the POTUS leaves office during his/her term of office, the VP becomes POTUS. The new POTUS nominates a new VP. The new VP is sworn in after approval of a majority of both houses of Congress.
In 1973, VP Spiro Agnew resigned. President Nixon nominated Congressman Gerald Ford to be VP. Ford was approved by both houses of Congress and became VP. In 1974 Nixon resigned as POTUS. Ford became POTUS and nominated Nelson Rockefeller as VP, Rockefeller became VP after approval by a majority vote of the House and Senate.
If Biden resigns or dies in office, and Kamala Harris occupies the office of VP, she will become President. She will appoint a new VP and that nominee will have to be approved by a majority vote of both houses of Congress. The Constitution prohibits the President and VP from being from the same state so Kamala cannot nominate someone who is a resident of California. McCarthy for example is from California so he is ineligible to be appointed by President Harris. Gavin Newsome is also ineligible.
The only way McCarthy, as Speaker of the House, steps into the office of POTUS is if the office of VP is vacant when the President resigns or dies in office. It is conceivable a President Harris VP nominee would not be approved by Congress. If she resigned or died before another nomination for VP was made and approved, then Speaker McCarthy would become President.
McCarthy does not become VP if 25th is invoked. Haris becomes President and she picks VP. Her pick must be okay Ed by Congress. ( Recall Nixon resigned Ford became President, Rockefeller selected as VP)
but then McCarthy is VP.
Not true, not going to happen. Kneemala ‘Heels Up’ Harris will appoint a VP, just like Nixon appointed Ford, and was approved by Congress.
CHS = Confidential Human Source
Basically, a whistleblower / HUMINT in the spy game.
