Explosive FD-1023 reveals more Biden bribery evidence, with more to come.

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.

Explosive​ Details Revealed

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.

Unanswered Questions

• 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?
• 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.

During Wednesday’s hours-long ​hearing, ‌IRS whistleblowers Gary⁢ Shapley ​and‌ Joseph Ziegler both‍ told lawmakers⁢ they had never⁣ seen the FD-1023. ‍Significantly, Ziegler then stated: “There’s things that are contained on that⁢ document that could further corroborate other information that we‌ might be having an ⁣issue corroborating ⁢because it could be regarding a​ foreign ⁣official. So if we have information regarding that in a document or a witness, we can further ⁢corroborate‌ later‍ evidence.”

But ⁢because federal ‍law prohibits the discussion of confidential taxpayers’ information, other than‌ through specific procedures,‍ Ziegler did not detail what, if any, information they may have discovered during their investigation into Hunter Biden. Instead, Ziegler said, “if ⁢that’s something that we have, we can⁢ turn that over to the House Ways and Means Committee.”

This testimony suggests that the IRS’s ⁤investigation likely uncovered evidence the ‌FD-1023 corroborated. With that⁣ form now ‍public, both Ziegler and Shapley can study it‌ and assess ​what documentary ‌material, such ‍as wire transfer reports,⁢ they uncovered ⁢that is now corroborated.‍ However, that evidence will have ⁤to go to the House Ways and Means Committee before it ⁤is made ‌public.

So much for Democrats’ claim that there is no evidence of Joe Biden’s complicity and corruption.
