Secret tapes and coerced payments: Top 10 Biden-Burisma bombshells from FBI informant memo
justthenews ^ | 7/21/2023 | John Solomon and Ben Whedon

The House Oversight Committee previously issued a subpoena to obtain the document, with which FBI Director Christopher Wray did not comply.

Iowa Republican 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 Though he ultimately permitted the committee members to view the FD-1023 in a secure location, the contents remained unpublished until Grassley's Thursday release.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."

Top ten?

Just one tenth of one of those, applied to Trump, would have had the MSM and democrats (although I repeat myself) stroking out and screamng for impeachment and removal.

There would have been a call for a nation wide, general strike, the kind that used to topple European governments.

it is past time for McCarthy to combine his investigations into one impeachment committee. Wray, Garland, Mayorkis and Biden to be the subjects.

Worth repeating.

“it is past time for McCarthy to combine his investigations into one impeachment committee. Wray, Garland, Mayorkis and Biden to be the subjects.”

Add Pelosi, Schiff, ...

I understand why informants are generally given anonymity, but in this case, knowing who the CHS is, and their willingness to come forward would make a lot of difference.

This veil of secrecy gives the FBI an opportunity to say it's false information, and they really aren't pressed any further on it.

Don’t hold your breath. McCarthy is part of the problem and none of the solution.

No wrongdoing whatsoever will persuade the media that this is a story that needs to be reported. Nor is the media likely to ever stop piling on Trump 24/7. Every story about Trump is an in-kind contribution to the Democrats that they should be billed for.

Under similar circumstances and evidence any Republican president would have been long gone by now.

Just imagine the media onslaught and saturation coverage a Republican would have been subjected to. The intensity of effort to impeach and remove him would have been fierce.

Biden and the leftist cabal cling to the argument that these FD-1023 are not proof of anything, only written records of statements made by informants.

But why does the FBI have so many statements? Clearly, all of these people had to be contacted and interviewed, so there is obviously an active investigation going on.

Anyone here remember when the FBI actually went after dirty, corrupt, greedy, politicians? Remember “Abscam?”

The tapes were to stop the Bidens from extorting any further? Perhaps he will release them now that the cat is out of the bag and Biden no longer has any leverage over him.

The FBI is itself a criminal organization, not likely they will turn themselves in.

The FBI from its own website, bragging about snagging politicians in pay to play business deals for $50K. Wow how the worm has turned.
