So much for Democrats’ claim that there is no evidence of Joe Biden’s complicity and corruption.
Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, just released a minimally redacted copy of the FBI’s FD-1023 detailing a confidential human source’s reporting of a criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Joe Biden and the Ukrainian business Burisma. According to the FD-1023 summary, Burisma’s owner specifically referenced the firing of Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin — the same man Biden bragged about Ukraine firing after his threat to withhold aid from the country while he was vice president.
After months of pushing the Justice Department and FBI to explain what investigative procedures they had undertaken in response to evidence implicating then-Vice President Biden in a criminal bribery scheme, Grassley released the unclassified copy of the FD-1023, which documented claims made by the “highly credible” confidential human source (CHS). Grassley had acquired the FD-1023 via legally protected disclosures by Justice Department whistleblowers.
While some of the information included in the FD-1023 has already been revealed by members of the House who previously reviewed the summary of the CHS’s reporting, the public release provides new explosive details related to the firing of Ukrainian prosecutor Shokin.
Among the CHS’s conversations with Burisma’s owner Mykola Zlochevsky, one took place shortly after Joe Biden made his first public statement about Shokin “being corrupt.” At the time, according to the CHS, Shokin was investigating Burisma, and Zlochevsky told the CHS that “Hunter will take care of all of those issues through his dad.”
Then, following Trump’s election in 2016, the CHS spoke again with Zlochevsky, who expressed dissatisfaction with Trump’s victory but noted that “Shokin had already been fired, and no investigation was currently going on…” Zlochevsky’s statement proves significant because Joe Biden had long claimed he pushed for Shokin’s firing because Shokin was not investigating Burisma — which is the exact opposite of the details summarized in the FD-1023.
Beyond putting the already known details in black-and-white for the public to read, such as Zlochevsky’s representation that he had 17 recordings of the Bidens and had never paid the “Big Guy” directly, the release of the FD-1023 is significant for another reason: The American public now knows the many details the FBI could have and should have investigated.
For instance, did Burisma or any other related entity purchase a Texas-based oil and gas company for approximately $20-$30 million during the relevant time period? Were the CHS and his business partner in Kiev in the 2015 and 2016 time period? Did the CHS’s U.S. business partner confirm the details of the meeting? Was the CHS in London during the relevant time in 2019? And did the FBI ever ask the CHS to record his conversations with Zlochevsky or attempt to turn Zlochevsky into an asset?
According to the FD-1023 report, in 2019, the CHS had offered to assist Zlochevsky if he wanted to speak to the U.S. government about the Bidens and what Zlochevsky claimed was their coercion of Burisma to pay the bribes. Did anyone ever ask the CHS to contact Zlochevsky? If not, why not?
The public release of the FD-1023 is significant now for a third reason: It comes on the heels of the IRS whistleblowers’ testimony Wednesday before the House Oversight Committee that suggested the CHS’s reporting corroborates other evidence.
Grassly’s document is only evidence that SOMEBODY MADE ALLEGATIONS. There’s NO EVIDENCE THAT THEY’RE TRUE. Motive? The claims were made less than 5 months before the 2020 election, while Putin was staging troops to invade Ukraine. Figure it out, Sherlock. It’s not that hard.
Yup just all brand new stuff …Naive and clueless.
Book Alleging Biden Corruption in Ukraine Lifted Passages From Wikipedia
Nothing you imagine to be true is “new”. Once it’s introduced into the right-wing echo chamber, it’s endlessly repeated. That doesn’t make it true.
Grassly’s document is only a record of somebody’s allegations—like all of Trump’s stolen election bullshit, there’s no credible evidence supporting the claims.
Those entries may have come from his previous book Clinton Cash, go to dickopedia and find the source.
Again from 2018 ignorant one https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2018/03/20/cinton_cash_author_peter_schweizer.html#!
So, should it be thoroughly investigated or swept under the rug and witnesses forbidden to be interviewed, like with the Hunter investigation? How about an honest answer?
If you want honest answers you should ask honest questions.
An FD-1023 isn’t a sworn statement or affidavit. It’s a form used to record unverified information. Anybody could say anything about anybody. Grassley is using it as a political propaganda prop.
Witnesses are only interviewed when there’s sufficient reason to do so. Providing media fodder to Trump’s republican stooges isn’t sufficient reason.
Yeah, honest answers are nice when someone bothers to answer instead of dancing around a simple question. Should these credible accusations, which are corroborated by Hunter’s laptop and other testimony and which corroborates other accusations, be thoroughly investigated? Are you honest and courageous enough to admit that it LOOKS like idiot Biden took a bribe from Burisma?
And, as we have seen, when the FBI is controlled by the DNC, no, they don’t pursue every lead and question every witness. It was expressly forbidden to investigate or question anyone about “dad” or “the big guy”. This is the level of “investigation” that pursued election fraud and, not surprising, why none was found.
Closing them all down is precisely what Trump supporters say should be done with the Trump investigations, isn’t it? Do you think no one notices the hypocrisy?
Truth is Trump’s enemy. It’s going to corner him in a courtroom.
So you are simply too gutless to answer yet another simple question. This tells me you are absolutely convinced idiot Biden, the pedophile, is 100% guilty and you are scared to death of an honest invitation.
biden is guilty of everything contained in the document. The laptop from hell corroborates the evidence in the FD-1023
None of the indictments have any merit.
You’ll doubtless say the same thing about his convictions.
What convictions?
There will be no convictions. The January 6 fiasco will fall flat on its face because of the impeachment clause. He was not convicted in the Senate so he cannot be criminally charged.
The Florida classified documents case will never get beyond may 20, 2024.
And, if the Fulton county morons go through with an indictment and trial, they will open an opportunity to litigate the 2020 stolen election through discovery.
FALSE. The rigged Senate impeachment trial affords him no legal protection of any kind. Nor does his candidacy.
So give it a thumbs down. It’s still true. Trump’s minions in Congress can’t stop the workings of the criminal justice system. We have checks and balances. The Constitution was written to prevent ass hats like Trump from taking total power, and there are still plenty of dedicate, honest people who will protect the Constitution.
What you have is CHS testimony that corroborates the laptop and whistleblower testimony that corroborates the CHS testimony. It is overlapping evidence that makes it a fact that idiot Biden is a totally corrupt piece of shit, compromised by the Ukrainians and Chinese… at least.
You are in over your head here, trying to defend idiot Biden in the face of overwhelming evidence of massive corruption and compromise. You better call in reinforcements.
The bidens have taken upwards of 40-50 million dollars in bribes and payoffs. They are the most corrupt political family in the history of America.
They are a disgrace.
And not exactly “paying their fair share” in taxes, but I guess that can be inconvenient when we’re talking about ill-gotten gains.
Ah, to be a connected Democrat. No work, all play and millions of dollars just falling into your lap. Now, is this Democrat privilege, white privilege or some combination of the two?
That in and of itself was election interference.
So? They’re Democrats. Rules, laws and the Constitution don’t apply to them. They get to run roughshod over all laws and illegally make millions of dollars selling out the United States taxpayers.

If you think our weapons development stopped in VN sir you are naive and clueless.
If you have evidence she is wrong or lying here, this would be a great place to present it, scooter. Idiot Biden is a massive liar that NEVER speaks the truth… NEVER. Yet you cling to his every word. You like lies.
Time tot totally put a total end to this fake trial and fake evidence against Trump and have all those involved should all be arrested and tried for Treason Biden The Clintons Obama, Sors Bragg Etc.
Well, Democrat’s are liars who lie constantly and about everything. They have ZERO credibility and will never restore it until the openly denounce their corruption and their corrupt members. And that ain’t likely
Look, Greg… you were LIED to and then you repeated the lie. Bad thing is, the facts were clear and right in front of us all. It’s just that some had the intelligence to face them while others were too gutless to see the truth.
Trump is the worst thing to happen to America since the Civil War. He has destroyed truth, divided families, alienate friends and neighbors, and diminished America in the eyes of the world. What a second term could bring is unthinkable.
