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.

RE: Laptop from Hell....

If all we have to worry about in the afterlife is the amount of “hell” suffered up to today by Biden and Hunter from the Laptop From Hell punishment, then we can be at peace.
The Bidens are doing just fine about it.

Yes, of course they know. They are America’s KGB. Its their job to know everything that affects “the realm,” especially its top leaders and influencers.

But if you think they are about “enforcing the law,” or “justice” you are living in a fool’s paradise.

So to whom, if I may be so bold as to ask, do these Suspicious Activity Reports go?

And they just get sent to whatever receiving entity gets them and there’s no scrutiny of offshore LLCs controlled by, oh, I don’t know, sitting politicians? Even as lowly-stationed as (then) vice-presidents and now presidents? What’s the big deal?

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

I would imagine they knew when he was in Congress.

The video of Biden bragging about his call to Ukraine was out there for years. I was puzzled as to why the Trump 2020 campaign did not use it.

Bring in the FBI and question them under oath. When did they know? Did they investigate? What were their findings? Hold them in contempt and arrest them if they refuse.

Of course they knew 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.

It’s been known for a long ass time.

Comms to these countries and Oligarchs are monitored. They’re all monitored.

They knew in 2013 / 14 what Joe was setting up. The Dem Bill for Ukraine Aid was written to describe Burisma.

How many Elections are going to go by with our Elected Reps doing nothing. The Republican Senate protected Joe for 1,460 days to pull him across the finish line in 2020.

Another example of Wray and the FBI giving aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States.

The FBI spent five years hounding president Trump over a completely FAKE Steele Dossier. A document that they KNEW was fake from day one.

Contrast that with them knowing about Biden's shady dealings, his history of shady dealing, his idiot son who was quite obviously a bagman for Joe, a laptop (that they knew was authentic) that confirmed everything , and Joe brazenly bragging about getting a Ukraine prosecutor fired.

No raids, no wiretapping, no grand juries, investigations quashed. The FBI has ceded any moral high ground that they ever once claimed to have. The FBI's behavior here is more reprehensible than Joe Biden's alleged activities.

FBI Knew Hunter Laptop Was Authentic in 2019 But Lied to
Social Media Companies So Story Would be Censored During 2020 Election
in order to help candidate Biden win
FR posted 7/20/2023

The House Ways and Means Committee recently reported:
<><>In Oct 2019, the FBI became aware that a Delaware repair shop had a laptop allegedly belonging to Hunter Biden and that the laptop might contain evidence of a crime.

<><>The FBI verified its authenticity in Nov 2019 by matching the device number against Hunter Biden’s Apple iCloud ID.

<><>According to the Section Chief of the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force (FITF), the FBI deliberately lied to social media companies about the authenticity of Hunter’s laptop.......... to protect candidate Joe Biden.

<><>In the 9 months leading up to the Trump/Biden 2020 election, the FBI met over 30 times with social media platforms — all while in possession of Hunter Biden’s laptop.
