Joe Biden Was Allegedly Paid $5 Million By... The Burisma Board, Document Hidden by FBI Claims
President Joe Biden was allegedly paid $5 million by an executive of the Ukrainian natural gas firm Burisma Holdings, where his son Hunter Biden sat on the board, a confidential human source told the FBI during a June 2020 interview, sources familiar told Fox News Digital. The sources briefed Fox News Digital on the contents of the FBI-generated FD-1023 form alleging a criminal bribery scheme between then-Vice President Joe Biden and a foreign national that involved influence over U.S. policy decisions. The FD-1023 form, dated June 30, 2020, is the FBI's interview with a "highly credible" confidential source who detailed multiple meetings and conversations he or she had with a top Burisma executive over the course of several years, starting in 2015. Fox News Digital has not seen the form, but it was described by several sources who are aware of its contents.
The Burisma executive sought the advice of the confidential source, a business professional, on gaining U.S. oil rights and getting involved with a U.S. oil company, the sources familiar with the documdnt said. The Burisma executive was speaking with the confidential source to "get advice on the best way to go forward" in 2015 and 2016. According to the FD-1023 form, the confidential human source said the Burisma executive discussed Hunter's role on the board. The confidential human source questioned why the Burisma executive needed his or her advice in acquiring access to U.S. oil if he had Hunter Biden on the board. The Burisma executive answered by referring to Hunter Biden as "dumb." The Burisma executive explained to the confidential source that Burisma had to "pay the Bidens" because Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin was investigating Burisma, and explained how difficult it would be to enter the U.S. market in the midst of that investigation. The confidential source further detailed that conversation, suggesting to the Burisma executive that he "pay the Bidens $50,000 each," to which the Burisma executive replied, it is "not $50,000," it is "$5 million." "$5 million for one Biden, $5 million for the other Biden," the Burisma executive told the confidential human source, according to a source familiar with the document.
Remember when Hunter Biden complained to one of his family members that "at least dad doesn't take half of your salary"? $5 million is half of the $10 million total, I notice.
A source familiar said according to the document, the $5 million payments appeared to reference a kind of "retainer" Burisma intended to pay the Bidens to deal with a number of issues, including the investigation led by Shokin. Another source referred to the arrangement as a "pay-to-play" scheme. Sources familiar told Fox News Digital that the confidential human source believes that the $5 million payment to Joe Biden and the $5 million payment to Hunter Biden occurred, based on his or her conversations with the Burisma executive.
So this source uses the same "Big Guy" codeword as we know the Biden family used internally.
The confidential source said the Burisma executive told him he "paid" the Bidens in such a manner "through so many different bank accounts" that investigators would not be able to "unravel this for at least 10 years." The document then makes reference to "the Big Guy," which, has been said to be a reference to Joe Biden. The Burisma executive told the confidential source that he "didn't pay the Big Guy directly."
Fox News Digital has learned that the confidential human source has been used by the FBI as a regular, reliable source of information since 2010 and has been paid approximately $200,000 by the bureau. Sources said the Burisma executive appears to be at a "very, very high level" of the company. One source familiar suggested the confidential source could be referring to the head of Burisma, Mykola Zlochevsky, but said the name of the Burisma executive is redacted in the document. Biden has acknowledged that when he was vice president, he successfully pressured Ukraine to fire prosecutor Viktor Shokin. At the time, Shokin was investigating Burisma Holdings, and at the time, Hunter had a highly-lucrative role on the board receiving thousands of dollars per month. The then-vice president threatened to withhold $1 billion of critical U.S. aid if Shokin was not fired. "I said, 'You're not getting the billion. I'm going to be leaving here in,' I think it was about six hours. I looked at them and said: 'I'm leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you're not getting the money,'" Biden recalled telling then-Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko. Biden recollected the conversation during an event for the Council on Foreign Relations in 2018. "Well, son of a bitch, he got fired," Biden said during the event. "And they put in place someone who was solid at the time.
Five flaming skulls, one for each of the million dollars that Joe Biden took as a bribe from a foreign country. The FBI hid these allegations and sat on them from 2017 through today. Obviously they remained hidden during the 2020 election, when the FBI claimed that Hunter Biden's laptop was "Russian misinformation."
If House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer's sleuthing turns out to be right, the FBI harbored a deep, dark secret through the first Trump impeachment, the Hunter Biden laptop saga and the 2020 election fury. The secret: that a validated and well-paid informant raised concerns all the way back in 2017 that Joe Biden was involved in a $5 million bribery scheme involving Ukraine. The question emerging now is did America's most famous crime-fighting agency deep-six the allegation or dismiss it as "Russian disinformation" without thoroughly probing it. Comer made the bombshell revelation Tuesday night in an interview with Just the News, just a day after reviewing an FBI FD-1023 form that memorialized the informant's allegations, and two days before he plans to hold a vote in Congress to hold FBI Director Christopher Wray in contempt for failing to provide a copy to his committee as demanded by a subpoena. He said the version of the informant report he was allowed to review by Wray had about 10% of information redacted and made clear the allegations were first reported to the Federal Bureau of Investigations back in 2017 as Donald Trump was beginning his term as president. "Yes, it is Ukraine," Comer told the Just the News, No Noise television show when asked what country the alleged bribery involved. "This form 1023 involves a business person from Ukraine, who allegedly sent a bribe, a substantial bribe to then-Vice President Joe Biden."No special counsel for Hunter and Joe, though! Merrick Garland assigned one for Trump -- someone who is about to indict him -- but kept the Hunter Biden investigation under his own control, and resists any efforts to even start one for Joe Biden. And Bill Barr lamely forwarded this explosive allegation to the Democrat fake-investigating Hunter Biden in Delaware.
Remember that a whistleblower has come forward to allege that Merrick Garland perjured himself to Congress when he claimed he was giving that Delaware prosecutor all the authorizations and resources that he needed. The whistleblower reports that Merrick Garland is in fact refusing to allow the prosecutor to investigate anything outside of Delaware, and anything not involving Hunter Biden. Like, for example: Allegations of a $5 million bribe paid to Joe Biden, then living in Washington, DC.
Former Attorney General Bill Barr disputed the account of Maryland Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin, who has insisted that the former Trump cabinet member and his "handpicked" prosecutor shut down an investigation into allegations that Joe Biden engaged in a bribery scheme while vice president. "It's not true. It wasn't closed down," Barr told The Federalist on Tuesday. "On the contrary, it was sent to Delaware for further investigation." House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer and Raskin were permitted to view a form FD-1023 in possession of the FBI that details the alleged scheme earlier this week. The form includes allegations from a confidential human source asserting that Biden agreed to help change U.S. policy in exchange for a $5 million bribe sent to his family business. After viewing the document, Comer insisted that there was an active investigation involving the allegations on the form. Raskin contradicted Comer's account in a presser following the viewing. "I must have missed that because I've not heard that this is part of any ongoing investigation," he said, asserting further that "The FBI and the Department of Justice team, under [then-Attorney General] William Barr and Scott Brady, in the Western District of Pennsylvania terminated the investigation. They said there were no grounds for further investigative steps. So, they ended that." Raskin has since pushed the narrative that Barr shut down the investigation in a press release, saying "Attorney General Barr and his hand-picked U.S. Attorney signed off on closing the assessment."

2. Resign over the threat of impeachment
3. Sacrafice the FBI Director somhow by having Wray fall on his sword?
4. The actual document disappears into a black hole
5. Say that the FBI lied about the document
6. Say Trump produced the document
7. Biden and Harris resign and Hillary is appointed VP and then becomes POTUS. Newsome becomes VP

Strange light videoed falling from the sky in Las Vegas. Minutes later a family calls police to report 10-foot-tall creatures with big, shiny eyes in their backyard. This really happened.
Caller: There's like an 8-foot person beside it and another one is inside us and it has big eyes and it's looking at us — and it's still there.
Dispatcher: OK, where is this on your property?
Caller: In my backyard. I swear to God this is not a joke, this is actually — we're terrified.
Dispatcher: So, there's two people, there's two subjects in your backyard?
Caller: Correct and they're very large. They're like 8 foot, 9 feet, 10 foot. They look like aliens to us. Big eyes. They have big eyes. Like, I can't explain it, and big mouth. They're shiny eyes and they're human. They're 100% not human.

And then throwing this in the faces of every Democrat candidate for Congress - why did you let Biden get away with this while you cracked down on the single moms out there?

If the bribe was from Mykola Zlochevsky, it was probably on behalf of.... Vladimir Putin.
Who was more or less Zlochevsky's Patron, and used him to help control Ukraine back when he was doing so.
Putin used Burisma and similar companies to control Ukraine the way China uses Disney/Nike/CNN/Amazon/etc. to control the US.
Zlochevsky was Yanukovitch's environmental minister who basically gave Burisma (which he owned) the only available drilling permits to be able to drill for oil in Ukraine, which they mysteriously avoided using all the while being a big contractor for Russian companies Rosneft and Gazprom in places like Khazakstan.
That's what they were under investigation for after 2014. At least until Biden showed up, "Son of a Bitch..."

Russia was on record before the war that they wanted the Minsk Accords enforced and talks on the future status of Donbas discussed as ratified by the UN in 2015 and 2017. This might have left them as autonomous areas in Ukraine safe from legislations against Russian language and culture.
France and Germany had agreed to enforce those terms, and were lying about it. US and UK refused to allow any talks pre-war to restart negotiations.
So there were plenty of ways to delay, or avoid the war if the West had been interested. They wanted the war.

Check my posts from day-1 on this war, I said I could never trust Ukrainians and that the US must not send them money. DAY 1.
I also said they had good reason to want all Russians out of their country and God speed to them in their fight for independence. Just not on my dime. Further, I said that if they are corrupt, well, how much of that is our fault? We sent them corrupt money and asked for some back in vig. At this point the US is one of the top corrupting forces in the world Shame on us.

That wouldn't have to go up to Putin. That's just TCOB, Ukraine-style.
So a member of Putin's machine bribed Biden and you think that's going to be OK, and Putin isn't going to use that for blackmail?

If that Biden was Hunter, then by Hunter's personal correspondence, Joe really got $7.5 mil for extorting the firing of the prosecutor.

Putin invaded for the simplest reason. Because he could. What made him suddenly capable? High oil prices. The last time oil prices were as high as they were in the run up to the Russian invasion was when the Russians invaded Ukraine last time.
Domestic energy production defangs Russia and Iran. Not completely, but it eliminates many options for them and it's great for our economy. So naturally it must be prevented at all costs by our leaders.

This is another of those times where I simply depart from folks here, and folks on the other side.
Certain peeps here love the "gotcha' moment" - where the evidence is suddenly disclosed like an episode of Perry Mason. Certain folks on the other side work like Hell to prevent that moment.
As soon as I knew Hunter Biden was on the board at Burisma ? Or selling paintings for six figures ? I knew all I needed to know. Just like McConnell marrying a Chinese chic from a rich family. Or McCain telling his old lady that waited on him to get out of the camps to fuck off, while he married an heiress to a beer distributorship. And on and on.
To me, it's not a Flaming Skull moment. It's a "no shit" moment.

I still call them the KGB because the KGB are still in charge. They have split off the FSB, as a branch office but that is only a division of the old regime. The USSR had several factions but the KGB won and took over. The top leaders went into the oligarch business and now Putin is in charge, but they all had ties to the KGB and moved up. I guess calling the country The KGB Republic was a little too on the nose so they went with Russian Federation, but I think it is clear to all what it is - a country based on a crime syndicate based on a state intelligence office. (Hey, why does that sound familiar?)

I think a lot of that is the actual Pentagon faction versus the Neocons and others at State/WH.
They actually have something to lose if Russian anti-air starts dropping our planes and airmen out of the sky or if cheap Russian shells start landing on the Marines in some small village.
They may have some appreciation that our AF can't operate on airstrips carved out of a small highway and we have no answer to Russian missiles. They already looked pretty bad when the HIMARS launches became stoppable and the Patriot antimissiles were taken out.

If they need a myth and fake borders to create a strong country, fine. Problem is, the Holodomor is not a myth and Ukraine is a real country. The Russians in Ukraine are not a majority and they voted to leave USSR. If they want to live in Russia, then let them move back, as most of those families were moved there under Stalin, anyway.

For example, you can't name who truly is the Executive Authority in this kakistocracy. It sure as hell isn't Biden.
You can't also identify who the FBI is accountable to, or for that matter the State Department, which acts like a government independent of any other structure and is completely unaccountable to any formerly recognized branch of Government.

No. On this, I'm sure I'm right. Just as the idea of Left vs. Right is an outdated notion - so is the idea of this stupid pendulum.
It's not a pendulum, and it's not promised to swing. It's a swivel, pushed on by various teams, who are mostly watched by those who don't care until the swivel gets too tilted.
And even then, it really doesn't matter, because those who watch usually find themselves pushing back too late to matter. We call those moments Wars and Regimes and such.
One thing that will help kill the old version of Contemporary Conservatism is killing this idea that if you simply wait long enough, things are bound to correct themselves. That's not how it works.

I am not going to argue that we should retain NATO, or that it actually is in truth about its purported design, or that its a good idea.
Only that its a stupid and insane response to NATO to invade, thus proving the whole point. Its like punching someone in the face for trying to stop them from punching you in the face. Putin was an idiot for this.

It's a pretty common historical pattern in states with weak kings and a strong bureaucracy. Mandarins in China, Late Stage Rome and later Byzantine Empires. You get the factions, internal squabbling, puppet leaders for the executive position. Nothing new about this except usually it becomes better known who the contending factions are and who is in charge.

I don't think he has to. He's just the figurehead they trot out to beg for money, but all of them want to give money to protect the graft and the system in place. Ukraine is basically their restaurant.
Remember in Goodfellas when Hill describes how Paulie becomes a partner in the restaurant and they just ruin the place, eating for free, ordering and taking stuff out without paying for it, etc, until they have to burn the place down for insurance?
Ukraine is the organized crime of DC's Restaurant. The "owner" is Zelenskyyyy. They probably have a good half dozen of these places that they run and ruin just to enrich themselves. And let's not forget all those gorgeous, poor Ukranian girls to traffick.

The document was kept back for when they got ready to oust Biden, which may be now. All that talk recently about showing Kamala some respect? They will arrest Trump for doing absolutely nothing, Biden will leave office, and all will be good.

Impeachment means nothing and that is why the McGOP promises to never start an impeachment trial against Biden.
Impeaching Biden doesn't remove the tyrant that uses Biden as the frontman/puppet.

There are apparently documents showing the Biden family members - more than just Hunter and Uncle Joe - engaged in sex slavery.
Lots of moneymaking opportunities over there for the right people. By right people I mean horrible, low-moral people.

They will arrest Trump if necessary. And the old man is too fixated on his 1980s view of how things work to stop it. He'll fly himself to NYC to serve time if necessary.

I know you are not a NAP libertarian from things you have said in the past. How about laying someone out when you see them sneaking up on you with a hammer in his hand? Do you have to take a blow to the head before you can respond?

The same oligarch that owned Burisma owned PrivatBank until the bank was seized by the Ukrainian government for corruption. Most of the Biden money was paid through PrivatBank which went through Cyprus where Burisma was also HQ'ed.
Blue Star Strategies should be coming up soon.

The FBI never thought anyone who mattered would find out about it, plus its part of the kink to keep it.

Yea, he's so dumb he's leading the rest of the Republican field by 30 points despite being the only one of them actually fighting the deep state instead of talking about precious norms.

The years of withholding this info, you'd think they would have cleaned this all up so there would be no trace of it.
The FBI is incompetent in their competence.

WaPo, Biden's Son Sues Ex-Partner Lobbyist, With Senator's Brother, Alleges Fraud in Fund Buyout

And its following series: Advantage Series, Adviser Series
Institutional Series, Supplement dated November 21, 2006
Politico EU, August 3, 2019: The day the Bidens took over Paradigm Global Advisors was a memorable one. (In part) In the late summer of 2006 Joe Biden’s son Hunter and Joe’s younger brother, James, purchased the firm. On their first day on the job, they showed up with Joe’s other son, Beau, and two large men and ordered the hedge fund’s chief of compliance to fire its president, according to a Paradigm executive who was present.

Corruption holds the two wings together. The Obama purists want the Clinton cronies out. Biden stays as long as the Cronies have enough power.

If Joe received anything substantive--certainly $5mm would be--he'd be a fool not to report it (I know, he's a fool), so I imagine he lied and called it 'professional fees', and it should be easy enough for congressional Republicans to look into each payment.
Biden faces huge tax issues if true. If he didn't report it--like his crackhead son--that's felony tax evasion. Splitting it into LLCs controlled by family members who then kick back money doesn't change it being income to the Big Guy. If he did report it, but lied about what the money was from, it is also a tax crime.
Most FCPA violations aren't for bribery, but the books & records section of the FCPA and how the companies record the illicit payment.
Maybe the New York or Delaware Attorney General can look into this as they seem very concerned with violations of business records and how things are recorded.

trump is going to be charged and he will be convicted that part is inevitable. This is something different.

And Biden lead the field, it wasn't even close, amongst Democrats. Trump is the perfect example of exposing a blind spot amongst certain groups. As was Biden.
They're both lessons.

More than $15k can be earned online by performing straightforward tasks from home. In the previous month, I got $18376. Even a young child may do this job and make money because it is so simple to complete and has higher pay than typical office occupations. Everyone needs to try this task by using the information on this page. https://Easymoney520.blogspot.com/
