In rare move, Grassley releases unverified FBI source report alleging Biden involvement in bribe

Sen. Chuck Grassley on Thursday released a confidential FBI informant's unverified claim that, years ago, the Biden family "pushed" a Ukrainian oligarch to pay them $10 million.

The exceedingly rare step by Grassley, R-Iowa, further promulgates an allegation that Democratic critics warned against accepting at face value and which the White House continues to deny, saying it has been investigated under the Trump administration and "debunked."

Details of the unclassified document, known as an FD-1023, have emerged in recent months as Republicans search for any evidence that President Joe Biden engaged in the controversial overseas business dealings of his son Hunter Biden, which the president and his aides have repeatedly said he didn't do.

Democrats pounced on Grassley for publishing the FD-1023, accusing him of selectively highlighting uncorroborated information to hurt a political opponent.

"It is remarkable that congressional Republicans, in their eagerness to go after President Biden regardless of the truth, continue to push claims that have been debunked for years," White House spokesperson Ian Sams said in a statement responding to the release. "It's clear that congressional Republicans are dead-set on playing shameless, dishonest politics and refuse to let truth get in the way," Sams said.

If the FD-1023 is a FBI FORM, is the Lap Dog Media “suggesting” that the FBI DIDN’T VERIFY the information on that form? Are they saying that the agents who drafted that form, “Just Made Crap Up?”

If the FBI DIDN’T VERIFY the information on the FBI FORM, isn’t the FBI guilty of Dereliction of Duty?

If the FBI can’t verify information on a simple form, WHY does the FBI still exist?

Maybe the FBI will “claim” the verification of the FD-1023 is “classified” and will never see the light of day. That would smell like a FBI sanctioned COVER-UP.

Gee. Isn’t this EXACTLY what the Communists in our Federal Government have been doing to President Trump for the past 7 years?

What's remarkable is the lengths the corrupt media will go to protect Biden, it borders on being unbelievable.

The media duplicity is vomit inducting.

If the name was “Trump” -> SMOKING GUN!! IMPEACH!! IMPRISON!!

As the name is “Biden” -> Debunked! Unverified!

The media always comes up with a way to frame bad stuff on a Dim in a way that just causes low info drones to shrug it off as not true.

“Debunked under the Trump Administration” ???? The next lie will be “by Trumps handpicked FBI director Christopher Wray”

Same gaslighting Democrats are pulling about the prosecutorial discretion of “Trumps hand picked DA in Delaware” giving a pass to Hunter Biden’s crime spree.

The bias in the article is not as foul-smelling as usual. They quote Raskin and Comer, but they give Raskin’s strongly worded weaselly denial and the comment from Comer is just “The American people deserve to know”, rather than what Comer has actually been saying which is basically the Joe Biden and his family have been extorting bribes from Ukraine, are rotten to the core, and have sold out the US government. I love the quote about the “high ranking European official” who supposedly wanted Shokin fired - Jan Tombisky. The EU has 131 ambassadors to other nations, Tombinski was one of them. Who ever heard of Jan Tombinsky?
The fact is the prosecutor appointed after Shokin was fired dropped all charges against Zhlochevsky. Good work Hunter!
