As I reported on Wednesday night, the FBI caved and, at least temporarily, avoided a contempt charge for Director Christopher Wray by allowing all the members of the House Oversight Committee to view the FD-1023 “Biden bribery form.” The FBI also turned over a couple of other documents to further comply with the subpoena from the Committee.
Now, after having seen the document, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is sharing the unclassified details of what she said was referenced in the form. What she revealed is big, if true. She said there were financial records that showed two payments of $5 million — one to Hunter Biden and the other “specifically” to Joe Biden, to “fix” a situation.
“Back in 2015-2016, Burisma was looking to buy a U.S.-based oil and gas company,” Greene said. “This came from being advised by Hunter Biden and his partners.”
Around the time then-Vice President Biden called Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin corrupt, Burisma “hired Hunter on the board ‘to make the problems go away,’ that’s what they specifically said,” Greene explained.
“Hunter advised that they could raise more money if [Burisma] bought a U.S. company, so the informant was trying to do the right thing and trying to advise Burisma that they shouldn’t go this route, they should hire an attorney, work out their problems that they were being investigated for — because they were having other legal problems, and that’s why they were being investigated by this prosecutor, Shokin,” MTG continued.
MTG made clear, as I reported earlier, this has nothing to do with Rudy Giuliani or anything he’s claimed, that this came from an “extremely credible” paid informant whom the FBI had relied on in the past, who spoke directly with the person involved. Democrats had been trying to deflect, saying this was “Giuliani” stuff, to try to discredit it.
Greene said that the owner of Burisma said “Hunter was stupid, and that his other business partner was smart.”
“He also said that he paid $5 million to one Biden and he paid $5 million to another Biden. And it was all a bribery to get Shokin fired and end the investigation into Burisma,” MTG said. He told the informant this was common practice in Ukraine and Russia, that they even account for it in the budget. He told the informant that he had two pieces of evidence “showing proof of payment to Hunter and specifically Joe Biden.”
Greene said that’s how they make sure “you get people to follow through” on the bribes you pay them.
“What I read today is, again, shocking,” Greene said, and she said that the Oversight Committee would keep looking into it.
“What I’m upset about, though, is the FBI doesn’t think the American people are worthy of this unclassified information. I certainly do,” MTG said. “I think the American people deserve to see it and know every single bit of it.”
As I reported earlier, Joe Biden is already melting down and scrambling to deflect, as reporters are now starting to ask real questions about the bribery form.
If this is true and they can prove it, this is indeed a smoking gun that could take Joe Biden down.
