FBI Knew About Joe Biden’s Shady Ukraine Business Dealing BEFORE “Laptop from Hell” Report
Daily Caller ^ | July 21, 2023 | By: Jason Walsh

Posted on 07/21/2023 12:00:03 PM PDT by Red Badger

The FBI knew about Joe Biden’s Ukraine business dealings before the “Laptop from Hell” reporting, according to an FBI informant document released by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA).

The FD-1023 form is dated June 20, 2020, but the source reporting was from June 26, 2020.

The form alleges that Joe Biden and Hunter Biden both received $5 million from the founder of Burisma Holdings, Mykola Zlochev after Joe Biden threatened to withhold aid to Ukraine until President Petro Poroshenko fired a prosecutor investigating Burisma.

As Brietbart reported:

The FBI’s informant document said that Hunter and Joe Biden allegedly “coerced” the Burisma executive into paying them $10 million in bribes, along with Grassley’s claim that the FBI informant said Zlochevsky kept 17 audio recordings of his conversations with Hunter and Joe Biden as an “insurance policy.”

The dates on the form predate the New York Post’s initial reporting about the “big guy” from “Laptop from Hell” in mid-October 2020.

The initial Post’s story on October 14 read in part:

Hunter Biden introduced his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, to a top executive at a Ukrainian energy firm less than a year before the elder Biden pressured government officials in Ukraine into firing a prosecutor who was investigating the company, according to emails obtained by The Post.

The never-before-revealed meeting is mentioned in a message of appreciation that Vadym Pozharskyi, an adviser to the board of Burisma, allegedly sent Hunter Biden on April 17, 2015, about a year after Hunter joined the Burisma board at a reported salary of up to $50,000 a month.

A second story published October 15 reported on the “big guy,” an alias whistleblowers say Biden business associates used to mean Joe Biden.

The “big guy” reference was used in relation to a business deal with CEFC China Energy Co. in which Joe Biden would receive “10 held by H for the big guy.”

Suspicious activity reports obtained by Comer show Hunter Biden’s business partner, Rob Walker, received a $3 million wire transfer from CEFC in 2017.

In turn, four Biden family members — Hunter, James, Hallie, and an unidentified “Biden” — received a collective $1.3 million cut from the $3 million wire transfer.

So did Obama, Schumer, McConnel, McCarthy, Schiff, Clintons, Barr, Sessions, Wray, Comey, and about 1000 other people, who should have done something about it.

Biden was Obama’s Secretary of State and Obama was using the FBI to keep tabs on everything. He already knew that he couldn’t trust Biden.

From what I understand, Obama's preferred candidate was Cory Booker. Obama didn't want Biden to run. But when he won the primaries, Obama had no choice but to support Biden.

Biden was Obama’s Secretary of State . . .

I thought Biden was Obama's VP.

But don't ask Biden; he doesn't remember things like that.

Obama weaponized all federal agencies to pave the way for Hillary to become the ruler. Trump (and us) screwed up their plans, so he had to be taken out. Biden was installed and barry’s fundamental transformation was started back up again.

Hannity is an annoying, repeat adnausem the same lines over and over, leprechaun, stooge. Corporate, as well as Government hierarchy set a company’s culture. Once that culture takes hold, those that stay agree with that culture, its purpose and its ethos. When the mighty midget bloviate s endlessly about the FBI line workers having no blame it’s utter BS. They are ALL culpable in the entity’s corrupt culture. Even the lowly clerk.

Sorry, you are right, Hillary was Secretary of State. Biden was VP, a usually worthless job and he turned it into a money maker. Do you think that other VP could have been as corrupt?

Re: "I sent a $10,000 wire transfer the other day and the bank teller told me she had to file a SAR."

Also, the ski mask and the opaque sun glasses?

She wasn’t wearing either of those. Go figure....

Could have. But they probably weren't.

There were a lot of factors in the Bidens' corruption: An enabling president, an enabling justice department, an enabling political party, an enabling media.

That continues to this day.

92.1% of D.C. are democrats and above the law.

It’s why things are like they are.

One of the ways the corrupt evil politicians get away with this is because they create this illusion of a "Two Party System"

It keeps the little people in the streets bickering and fighting and blaming each other instead of THEM.

Republican politicians are merely submissive versions of democrats with a different sales pitch to tickle your ears with as they do their evil "Republican" corruption and legalized racketeering

I was thinking about former VPs and it occurred to me that Al Gore was just as corrupt, just in different ways.

That’s funny, in a very cynical way. Kind of like watching the Kardashians ; )

I dont think they need to be re built Federally. If te built at all, have local FBI branches and State AGs.

Well, for some, their entire identity is tied up in what political party and ideology they follow. Without the cloaking of the group, they feel they are nothing. Rugged Individualism is not a concept to them. They are mediocre followers and not much more.

It’d be picked up on Netflix, and spinned as courageous leadership.

They’ll say they can’t discuss ongoing investigations.
