Burisma boss in alleged Biden bribe scheme claims to have 15 taped conversations with Hunter, 2 with Joe: Grassley

By

Steven Nelson

WASHINGTON — The FBI source who reported President Biden’s alleged role in a bribery scheme said that a Ukrainian businessman claimed to keep as “insurance” 15 audio recordings of first son Hunter Biden and two of Joe Biden, a Republican senator revealed Monday.

Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) made the staggering claim in a Senate floor speech after FBI Director Christopher Wray last week allowed House Oversight Committee members to see a redacted informant file about the claim that Hunter and then-Vice President Joe Biden received $5 million apiece to serve the interests of Burisma Holdings owner Mykola Zlochevsky.

“Congress still lacks a full and complete picture with respect to what that document really says. That’s why it’s important that the document be made public without unnecessary redactions for the American people to see,” said Grassley, accusing the bureau of needlessly redacting information about the recordings from the file shared with House lawmakers.

“Let me assist for purposes of transparency,” the 89-year-old went on. “The 1023 [form] produced to that House committee redacted reference that the foreign national who allegedly bribed Joe and Hunter Biden allegedly has audio recordings of his conversations with them. Seventeen total recordings.

“According to the 1023, the foreign national possesses 15 audio recordings of phone calls between him and Hunter Biden,” Grassley continued. “According to the 1023, the foreign national possesses two audio recordings of phone calls between him and then-Vice President Joe Biden. These recordings were allegedly kept as a sort of insurance policy for the foreign national in case he got into a tight spot. The 1023 also indicates that then-Vice President Joe Biden may have been involved in Burisma employing Hunter Biden.”

The senator concluded: “So, as I’ve repeatedly asked since going public with the existence of the 1023, what, if anything, has the Justice Department and FBI done to investigate? The Justice Department and FBI must show their work. They no longer deserve the benefit of the doubt.”

It’s unclear if the FBI has possession of any of the purported tapes.

The Constitution shields members of Congress from prosecution for anything they say during congressional speeches or debate, meaning Grassley cannot be prosecuted for revealing sensitive information.

Grassley learned of the informant file this year from a whistleblower and told House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.), who issued a subpoena to the FBI. The informant is a longtime paid FBI source.

Grassley said the FBI’s alleged disinterest in the Biden bribery allegation contrasts with its treatment of former President Donald Trump, who on Tuesday will become the first former president arraigned on federal charges for allegedly mishandling classified information after he left office.

“It’s clear that the Justice Department and FBI will use every resource to investigate candidate Trump, President Trump and former President Trump,” Grassley said. “Based on the facts known to Congress and the public, it’s clear that the Justice Department and FBI haven’t nearly had the same laser focus on the Biden family.”

Trump was indicted in the classified documents case by special counsel Jack Smith.

A different special counsel, Robert Hur, is investigating Biden’s handling of classified documents from his Senate years and vice presidency that were found in his Delaware home and post-vice presidency DC office.

Biden on Thursday attempted to laugh off the bribery allegation against him, telling a Post reporter, “Where’s the money?” before adding, “I’m joking. It’s a bunch of malarkey” at the conclusion of a White House press conference with British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.

The bribery allegation against Biden was first made in 2017, but the informant file read by House lawmakers last week was created by the FBI in June 2020 after that tip received fresh attention.

Several Republicans said the document accuses the Bidens of getting paid a total of $10 million in 2015 and 2016 in exchange for the then-vice president advocating the ouster of Ukrainian prosecutor general Viktor Shokin.

Joe Biden has publicly boasted of using $1 billion in US loan guarantees as leverage to get Shokin fired, though Democrats produced evidence during Trump’s 2020 impeachment trial that other US allies also wanted Shokin fired for his own corruption.

Lawmakers also said the document refers to Burisma attempting to partner with an American company. It’s unclear which company is cited, but the Ukrainian firm bought into a joint venture with US company Cub Energy in 2016 by acquiring a Canadian company’s shares.

Hunter Biden earned up to $1 million per year from 2014 to 2019 to serve on the board of Burisma, despite having no relevant energy industry experience.

Then-VP Joe Biden met with a Burisma executive at a DC dinner in April 2015, which featured in The Post’s explosive first report on Hunter’s abandoned laptop.

As vice president, Joe Biden also allegedly pushed US support for Ukraine’s natural gas industry during a trip to Kyiv just days after Hunter quietly joined Burisma in April 2014.

Obama administration visitor logs indicate he met the same month with Hunter’s partner Devon Archer, who was in the process of joining Burisma’s board alongside the then-second son.

A traffic stop of a Muslim youth who was shot dead in the driver’s seat has developed into Muslim rage. The evil has reared its ugly head across France. As had been written before, the Muslim community in France has not been integrated into French society, but continues to be and is a firestorm waiting to be ignited. And so, with this traffic stop, the Islamic State of France has gone Rage, destroying town after town, looting, burning and killing innocents. 

In the “Suicide of France” Eric Zemmour laments the loss of will by native Frenchmen and their displacement by mostly-Muslim immigrants.

As had been reported back in 2013, this is not the first time that the Muslim (a peacful religion) has gone rage. In 2016 Muslims of France took to the torch on New Years Eve celebrated by lighting the streets with burnt cars. This is nothing new, in 2013 the street jihadists lit 1200 on fire.   The interior minister said that 1,193 vehicles were burned overnight around the country.  Clashes between police and offenders in the New Year’s Eve took place in the Muslim majority districts in the city of Strasbourg and Mulhouse.  About seven police officers were attacked New Years eve night.

So the Little Punk drove with impunity, no license, stopped many times before, but never appeared. And where did he get the money to buy a Mercedes? To the Police, this guy was a two-bit punk, driving with stolen plates and no insurance. HE WAS A MENACE TO SOCIETY. GOT WHAT HE DESERVED.

The French-Algerian delivery driver was shot dead after being stopped by an officer for violating traffic laws at around 8.30am.  Nael M., 17, was gunned down at the wheel of a Mercedes after an officer threatened to “lodge a bullet in his head”.

His record of attendance of college was poor. Nahel had been in trouble before and was known to police, but family lawyers stressed he had no criminal record.

Videos purported to be of the incident were “extremely shocking,” Darmanin said, pledging a full investigation. The images show two police officers leaning into the driver-side window of a yellow car, before the vehicle pulls away as one officer fires into the window. The car is later seen crashed into a post nearby.

There is then a bang and the car lurches forward, with the officer allegedly firing at point blank range as the teen tried to steer away before crashing into a barricade.

Two other passengers were allegedly in the car with Nael. One fled, and the other was taken into custody.

The perpetrators to be sanctioned with the utmost severity – French PM

On her visit to L’Hay-les-Roses to show support for mayor Vincent Jeanbrun, French Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne said the attack on his home last night was “particularly shocking”.

Remember back a few years ago when Israel broke into an Iranian warehouse and stole top secret information regarding Iran’s nuclear program? This was a covert operation that not only the stuff legends are made of,  but this was real  “cloak and dagger.” In the middle of the night Israeli agents broke in, but also broke out with the evidence implicating Iran on their nuclear activities.

Today, the Israeli team, be it Mossad or the Shin Bet is tasked with uncovering Iran’s existential threat of destroying Israel via nuclear or ballistic means. Mossad has deep ties to Iran’s underworld including ex-patriots who have made contact with scientists that have deep knowledge of Iran’s present and future military plans.

According to insiders, Iran has accumulated hundreds of missiles to be utilized in a night time raid on Israel proper in the very near future. Tel Aviv is their prime target, but also Israel’s nuclear facilities at Dimona. 

One should not be mistaken about Israel’s capabilities. Their fight for survival is unencumbered by the naivety of war, meaning they will do anything to neutralize all threats, be they from Iran’s actors or Iran itself. The mullahs in Tehran only know one thing, that being to take Israel out, wipe them from the map. However, Israel will not be blind-sighted by this threat. They are working day and night, planning for the next phase of conflict.

One should not be alarmed if Israel strikes first, like the 6 Day War. Count on Iran’s mountain nuclear facility to be massacred, then onto Iran’s missile stores, then the Mullahs themselves.

As Ramses said, ‘LET IT BE WRITTEN, SO LET IT BE DONE.”

Biden has a broken record, cracked beyond repair, not even Gorilla glue can put it together. But for a moment, forget his dismal left wing green agenda , let’s concentrate on his criminal record, one with enough evidence to convict him for sedition, the penalty being the electric chair. Don’t think that this is impossible, he has done more to rationalize our defense traded secrets by his covert deals with China, Belarus, Romania and Ukraine. 

What do you think his son was doing? He took a trip on China’s Silk Road. Hit them hard for cash and in return China received various defense secrets, including new technology that has the ability to go supersonic. And the Russian shakedown was one in the same. This was, again cash for information, that being our ability to counter the Russian nuclear threat.

Countries don’t pay you for misinformation, they pay for verified information that has value. Some of this info came from boxes stored in Joe’s garage. One that Hunter had access to; Top Secret stuff, only available to the Big Man.

So, we need Biden to run in 2024, for he will be an easy target, from not only Trump, but those individuals who have inside knowledge of his business dealings, such as Tony Bobulinski.

This time Branden can’t hide in the basement, he will have to face the music. Americans will see the real Biden, the head of a Crime Family that would put Big Al(Scar Face) to shame. The Mafia shook down individuals, Biden is shaking down Countries.

TRUMP WILL “BEAT HIM LIKE A DRUM” 2024, MARK THAT DOWN.

The Bid Guy is headed to the BIG HOUSE after Trump’s justice department gets a hold of him.

The Supreme Court ruled that Sleazy Joe Biden could not obliterate the debt owed by college students. In fact, Justice Roberts quoted the Pig in a Poke, Nancy Pelosi, in his opinion,

Republicans are calling out Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), the former House speaker, after Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts quoted her in his majority ruling striking down President Biden’s student loan forgiveness program.

The court ruled 6-3 that the program, which would have forgiven thousands of dollars in student loan debt for many borrowers, that the Biden administration had not received congressional authority to grant the forgiveness.

Roberts quoted in the majority opinion comments that Pelosi gave during a press conference in July 2021, in which she said Biden did not have the authority to cancel student loans by executive order, only delay it. 

“People think that the President of the United States has the power for debt forgiveness. He does not. He can postpone. He can delay. But he does not have that power. That has to be an act of Congress,” Pelosi said at the time.

Many GOP lawmakers chimed in after the ruling was handed down to call attention to her inclusion in Roberts’ opinion.

Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) tweeted that the court “called out” Pelosi with the reference. 

“I agree with her for once!” McCarthy said. 

Yesterday, the Supreme Court of the United States delivered two Big Wins for America. The best of which was to eliminate the accounting for color when deciding who will be eligible for college. The crux of the matter decided that quotas are wrong, they are illegal and not “just” according to the law. The decision caused the Liberal Tard Brigade to go BALLISTIC.

However, to the contrary, the Asian Community applauded the decision. Over the past decade, Asian Americans have been culled from Ivy League Colleges because they were Asian. But to simplify the equation of to many Asians be accepted for admission, the Universities decided to up the ante, by admitting people of color with lower scores on their Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) than a person of Asian descent. And we might add, back in the 20’s, Harvard for instance, set a percentage quota for those of the Jewish persuasion to 15%.

The Supreme Court says colleges and universities can no longer take race into consideration as a specific basis for granting admission, a landmark decision overturning long-standing precedent that has benefited Black and Latino students in higher education.

Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the opinion for the conservative majority, saying the Harvard and University of North Carolina admissions programs violated the Equal Protection Clause because they failed to offer “measurable” objectives to justify the use of race. He said the programs involve racial stereotyping and had no specific end point.

GOP celebrates as Democrats blast the court

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy hailed the affirmative action decision, saying that the justices “just ruled that no American should be denied educational opportunities because of race.” And Republican Sen. Ted Cruz, who sits on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said in a statement, “This is a great day for all Americans.”

Former President Donald Trump called Thursday a “great day for America.”

“People with extraordinary ability and everything else necessary for success, including future greatness for our country, are finally being rewarded,” Trump said on Truth Social. “This is the ruling everyone was waiting and hoping for and the result was amazing.”

Joe Biden has played the tax paying, hard working American like a giant fiddle. The Biden Crime family has been operating for decades using clandestine actors to create phantom corporations, set up secret bank accounts enabling them to shakedown individuals and governments around the world for a piece of the action. The Web of deceit has come to full light as the contents of the Cocaine Hunter’s PC become deciphered. Up until then this was Russian Disinformation according to the fake news propaganda owned by the democrats. But now we know first hand the WEB of criminality that this Crime Family has birthed.

Hunter Biden’s legal trouble swept deeper into storm as president’s son prepares to take hot seat

Hunter Biden set to be deposed in lawsuit brought by laptop repair shop owner. Delaware computer repair shop owner John Paul Mac Isaac filed defamation lawsuit against Hunter Biden in October 2022

As part of Thursday’s deposition, Hunter was asked to turn over his unredacted bank records from April 2019.

While repairing the computer, Mac Isaac discovered emails detailing influence-peddling involving then-Vice President Joe Biden and videos of his 53-year-old son smoking crack and having sex with prostitutes and his work subordinates — prompting him to alert the FBI.

Just ask your friends and neighbors how many of them think they could avoid prison after lying on a federal gun purchasing form (a felony) and then declining to pay more than $100,000 in taxes for two years in a row.

For that matter, ask rapper Kodak Black, who pleaded guilty to the same gun charge for which Hunter Biden got probation. In 2019, then-22-year-old Black was sentenced to more than three years in federal prison after pleading guilty to weapons charges.

Biden family defenders (and the elite media) have claimed this isn’t a fair comparison because Hunter Biden was a so-called first offender. To quote President Joe Biden “C’mon, man!” Hunter Biden has a long-documented history of illegal drug activity and questionable business dealings. He’s never been prosecuted because his father is a long-serving U.S. Senator-turned-Vice President-turned President. This flimsy defense only clarifies the bias.

Further, these so-called personal mistakes by Hunter Biden pale in comparison to the much more serious questions about his professional life. Why did the widow of the Mayor of Moscow send him $3.5 million? Why did Burisma put him on the board when he knows nothing about natural gas or Ukraine? What did he do to earn money from Kazakhstan and Romania? Why did a Chinese oligarch send him a diamond? Why did the Bidens set up so many shell companies if they aren’t trying to hide the flow of foreign money?

Looking at government operations tells us what was, is and could be. Democrats are in rage because Trump is on the Warpath. He not only believes the election was stolen from him, he believes that he is the rightful owner of the Presidency. And he is fully engaged to capture the White House in 2024. But in order for this to be done, planning stage has to be in motion today.

Democrats think that the Electoral College is outdated. They think that vote count should be the test of who sits in the White HOuse, not the Electoral College vote count. As it stands now, Republicans can capture the presidency with a lesser vote count than the Democrats. And for this very reason the Electoral College was created.

Democ-rats are scared shitless due to various laws and regulations that pertain to voting rights. A new Arizona law passed in March 2022 requires documented proof of citizenship in order to vote. Anyone who is not for that is a member of the criminal Democrat Party. In 2021, The party of Suicide Bombers.

Restrictions passed in Florida and Georgia add barriers to voting by mail, restrict the use of ballot drop boxes and more according to the criminal left when that is furthest from the truth. On a federal level, in 2018 the Supreme Court ruled in favor of an Ohio law that removes individuals from voter rolls if they haven’t voted in a two-year period, even if they remain eligible to vote. What is wrong with that? Dead is Dead. They just don’t get it because they want to steal another election.

Cruz’s remarks came during a new episode of the senator’s podcast, which is called Verdict with Ted Cruz.

HUNTER BIDEN-LINKED ACCOUNT RECEIVED $5 MILLION DAYS AFTER THREATENING MESSAGES: ‘SITTING HERE WITH MY FATHER’

Cruz discussed allegations from an IRS whistleblower released by House Republicans this week, where an investigator on the Hunter Biden probe claimed there had been unprecedented efforts to prevent investigations into Joe Biden during the 2020 campaign and into his presidency.

Whistleblower Gary Shapley Jr. — who oversaw the IRS probe into the president’s son — said the IRS had obtained a WhatsApp message dated July 30, 2017, from Hunter Biden to Henry Zhao, CEO of Harvest Fund Management, in which Hunter alleged that he was with his father and named him to put pressure on Zhao to fulfill a commitment.

“And, Z, if I get a call or text from anyone involved in this other than you, Zhang, or the chairman, I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge that you will regret not following my direction.”

“I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father,” Hunter Biden reportedly said.

“This WhatsApp directly ties Joe Biden to the millions of dollars coming from communist China,” Cruz said. “Now, it is possible Hunter Biden was lying, it’s possible Joe Biden wasn’t next to him. It’s possible Joe Biden was not going to inflict official damage on the Chinese if they didn’t pay him and his son millions of dollars. That’s possible, but you know what, we don’t know if it’s true or not. Why? Because, according to the whistleblower, they didn’t investigate, and they were prohibited from investigating. They were prevented from even asking the question.”

“Let me be clear: This, on the face of it, is obstruction of justice,” he said. “And if Merrick Garland issued that order, he is the one blocking the investigation, and I think there’s real evidence of Merrick Garland being guilty of obstruction of justice.”

Cruz, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee who has served in the Senate since 2013, said, “If you had a single Democrat who gave a flying flip about the rule of law, we would have a hearing right now with Merrick Garland in front of us, under oath, asking about this WhatsApp,” he said. “We would ask to see every document, we would ask to see every email, we’d ask to see every communication between DOJ and the investigators. We would put the IRS whistleblowers on the stand, under oath to testify about it, and we would confront Merrick Garland with that.”
