Senator Grassley Confirms FBI Labeled Evidence as ‘Russian Disinfo’ to Protect Bidens

Senator Chuck Grassley from Iowa has confirmed that the FBI falsely labeled evidence of potential criminal conduct by members of the Biden family as ‘Russian disinformation.’ This supports whistleblower allegations and was revealed in a floor speech on Tuesday. Grassley had previously discussed the allegations, but this confirmation adds weight to the claims.

Senator Chuck Grassley has criticized Democrats for ignoring the weaponization of the FBI and pushing to defund the police while violence against law enforcement officers is on the rise. Grassley also called out Democrats for offering a political resolution that ignored the FBI’s abuses. Grassley revealed that the FBI falsely labeled evidence of potential criminal conduct by members of the Biden family as Russian disinformation to bury it. Grassley’s staff independently reviewed records that support the whistleblower allegations. Grassley’s comments come six months after he revealed that the FBI had possession of documents relating to information on Mykola Zlochevsky, the owner of Burisma, and his business and financial associations with Hunter Biden. Grassley’s revelations highlight the corruption within the FBI and the need for accountability.

Whistleblower Claims FBI Buried Evidence Derogatory to Biden Family

A whistleblower has claimed that the FBI buried evidence derogatory to the Biden family by framing it as Russian disinformation. Senator Chuck Grassley requested all records from the DOJ and FBI that reference Mykola Zlochevsky, Hunter Biden, James Biden, and Joe Biden. Grassley’s letter sought several forms, including FD-209a, FD-794b, FD-1023, and FD-1040a, which suggest that the FBI had a source that provided information on the Burisma owner and the Biden family. The documents in the FBI’s possession include specific details with respect to conversations by non-government individuals relevant to potential criminal conduct by Hunter Biden. These documents also indicate that Joe Biden was aware of Hunter Biden’s business arrangements and may have been involved in some of them.

Did the FBI Follow Normal Investigative Procedure?

Senator Grassley expressed concern over whether Weiss had independently evaluated the evidence and whether the FBI followed normal investigative procedure to determine the truth and accuracy of the information or shut down investigative activity based on improper disinformation claims in advance of the 2020 election. While it is unclear whether the DOJ and FBI provided the documents, Grassley’s floor statement on Tuesday shows his office had access to records corroborating the whistleblower claims.

Request for Records

Grassley concluded his October 2022 letter by requesting all records from Jan. 1, 2014, forward that reference Mykola Zlochevsky, Hunter Biden, James Biden, and Joe Biden. Grassley explicitly highlighted several forms, including FD-209a, FD-794b, FD-1023, and FD-1040a, which are used to record an “asset contract,” request a payment, report a source, and close a source, respectively.

Access to Records

This latest revelation follows last week’s news that Grassley’s office had access to records corroborating the whistleblower claims that the FBI buried evidence derogatory to the Biden family by framing it as Russian disinformation. While it is unclear whether the DOJ and FBI provided the documents, Grassley’s floor statement on Tuesday shows his office had access to records corroborating the whistleblower claims.

Is the FBI Giving Hunter Biden a “Get Out of Jail Free Card”?

An IRS whistleblower has claimed that the FBI headquarters interfered in the investigation into Hunter Biden, and two Biden-appointed U.S. attorneys declined to file tax charges against the president’s son, against the recommendation of career prosecutors. Despite this, Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray have remained silent. If it weren’t for Senator Chuck Grassley’s efforts to expose the scandal, Americans would know little about the FBI’s political favoritism towards Hunter Biden.

But now that evidence, including a confidential human source, was buried under the guise of Russian disinformation, will anything change? Unfortunately, the last seven years suggest not, despite Grassley’s tireless efforts to uncover the truth.

Is the FBI Giving Hunter Biden a “Get Out of Jail Free Card”?

Last week, an Internal Revenue Service whistleblower claimed that the FBI headquarters interfered in the investigation into Hunter Biden, and two Biden-appointed U.S. attorneys declined to file tax charges against the president’s son, against the recommendation of career prosecutors. Now, it has been revealed that evidence, likely including a confidential human source, was buried under the guise that it was Russian disinformation. Despite Senator Grassley’s efforts to expose the scandal, the FBI seems to be handing out a “get out of jail free card” to Hunter Biden at every opportunity.

Why is the FBI Silent?

Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray have remained silent on the matter. If it weren’t for Senator Grassley’s various letters and floor statements, Americans would know little about the FBI’s political favoritism. Will anything change now that this evidence has come to light? Sadly, the last seven years suggest not.

Despite all of this, the FBI remains silent. It’s time for them to be held accountable for their actions.
