In major shift, RFK Jr. calls for corruption investigation of Joe Biden...Presidential candidate says release of FBI informant memo last week escalated his concern.

Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. changed tactics Sunday and demanded for the first time an investigation into possible corruption by President Joe Biden, his party’s standard bearer.

Kennedy’s request was prompted by the release last week of an FBI informant report that alleged that Biden was part of a $10 million bribery scheme involving an Ukraine company that hired his son Hunter.

The report released by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) alleges Burisma Holdings founder Mykola Zlochevsky told a the informant that he was “coerced” into paying the Bidens $10 million to get a Ukrainian investigation shut down.

“I have avoided criticizing the president because I’m trying to bring people together and end some of the vitriol, the poison that’s made politics so poisonous,” Kennedy told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo’s “Sunday Morning Futures.”

“I think though the issues that are now coming up are worrying enough that we really need a real investigation of what happened,” he said. “I mean, these revelations where you have Burisma — which is a notoriously corrupt company that paid out apparently $10 million to Hunter and his dad — if that’s true, then it is really troubling.”

Kennedy added Americans should also be worried about the politicization of federal law enforcement.

“I think that that’s something that every American needs to worry about and our federal agencies, which used to be above politics, and now become weaponized as political instruments, and that, again, is another really damaging trend for our democracy,” he said.

The media, no longer considers it newsworthy that they as a profession could be incorrect. Their model investigations, Watergate were incorrect more than half the time, but they are not intelligent enough to understand that. If we question Biden election, Biden laptop, the Trump Russia Hoax investigation, FBI administration, or the origins of Covid, they will be proven to fallible. Making mistakes and overcoming them in other industries is called progress, in newswriting they have fallen into a syndrome of groupthink and infallibly of thought.

“I think though the issues that are now coming up are worrying enough that we really need a real investigation of what happened,” he said.

In a non corrupt country, there would be a special counsel or special prosecutor appointed here, and not a political thug like this Jack what's his name.

“Troubling”?

That is a weak word for what is blatant, extensive bribery, corruption and selling out American interests.

He’s really kicking some Democrat butt...filling the leadership void created by the Democrats who caved to the Woke Movement.

IF he wasn’t public enemy #1 of the Democrats, he will be now, he could surpass Trump if he continues to campaign and potentially overtakes Biden in the primaries.

The level of cheating and smearing him will be off the charts.

He seems to be being polite. If pressed he might admit it’s more than just troubling. Even so, though, don’t you think this was a huge “get” for Maria Bartiromo? For her to draw this out of a donkey party POTUS candidate?

This language is being used by BOTH sides: “Troubling” “Raises Concern” “Should be investigated”.

It’s weak language designed to kick the can down the road so the public can forget about it.

Fair enough. Pretty big/heavy can to kick, though.

His voice is pretty shot; he can’t talk for long before sounding like Freddie the Frogman. I hope that improves for him.

She seemed to be pretty pleased to hear what Kennedy was saying. It’s not nothing!

We should be careful.

Like John Durham?

Zero Raids, gentle John?

Five years later and we found out he did absolutely nothing, as predicted.

That statute is so easy for them to beat. They have a list of 50 guys that would love to do nothing but golf for six years.

The entire MSM and pols on BOTH sides are covering this up, or slow-walking it.
