Charles Grassley: When the FBI Finally Produced the Document Alleging That a Burisma Executive Paid Off Joe and Hunter Biden $5 Million Each, They Redacted the Claim That the Executive Has Recordings of Calls With Both

Recordings made for "insurance purposes" -- in other words, for purposes of blackmailing the US "president."

A few days ago it was revealed that these recordings exist.

But that didn't come from the redacted version of the document that the FBI produced.

The FBI hid the fact that the "president" is now highly blackmailable by a Ukranian with ties to Russian intelligence.

That doesn't protect "sources and methods."

That just protects the Democrat the FBI worked so hard to "elect."

Grassley: FBI Redacted References to Recordings in Biden Allegation Shared with Congress

Last week, I came to the Senate Floor to give a speech about the Biden Justice Department and FBI playing games with the American people by hiding the FBI-generated 1023 document from Congress.

Director Wray was going to be held in contempt for refusing to produce the 1023 that I told Chairman Comer about. Then, instead of contempt, the FBI committed to showing the 1023 and related documents to Congress.

So, the FBI showed but didn't provide possession of that 1023 to the House Oversight Committee last week.

As the public knows that 1023 involves an alleged bribery scheme between then-Vice President Biden, Hunter Biden and a foreign national. The same allegations that Chairman Comer and I made public on May 3 of this year.

And on the same day that the FBI provided a redacted version of the 1023 to the House Oversight Committee, the Justice Department announced that former President Trump had been indicted and charged with 37 crimes relating to his alleged mishandling of classified records.

Attorney General Garland signed off on prosecuting Trump for conduct similar to what Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton engaged in. Two standards of justice in this country will turn our constitutional Republic upside down. Thanks to the political infection within the Biden Justice Department and FBI, we're well along the road for that to happen.

This senator will do all that he can to fight that political infection. And you fight it by bringing transparency to what the government does. The public's business ought to be public. Transparency brings accountability.

With respect to the 1023 shown to that House Committee, from what I've been told by folks who've reviewed it, it's filled with redactions. So, Director Wray placed redactions on a document that's already unclassified.

More than that, the FBI made Congress review a redacted unclassified document in a classified facility. That goes to show you the disrespect the FBI has for Congress. On a previous time on the Senate Floor, I asked my fellow senators what's so unusual about an unclassified document being given to the public, when on May 18 of this year, there was leaked to the New York Times a classified document and even the name of a confidential human source. So, we're kind of in a strange situation here. A classified document can be leaked to the New York Times, but an unclassified document can't be made public to 300 million Americans.

Accordingly, 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.

Let me assist for purposes of transparency.

The 1023 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 fifteen audio recordings of phone calls between him and Hunter Biden. 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.

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 clear that the Justice Department and FBI will use every resource to investigate candidate Trump, President Trump and former President Trump.

Based on the facts known to Congress and the public, it's clear that the Justice Department and FBI will use every resource to investigate candidate Trump, President Trump and former President Trump. 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.

Special Counsel Jack Smith has used a recording against former President Trump. Well, what's U.S. Attorney Weiss doing with respect to these alleged Joe and Hunter Biden recordings that are apparently relevant to a high-stakes bribery scheme?

Getting a full and complete 1023 is critical for the American people to know and understand the true nature of the document and to hold the Justice Department and FBI accountable.

It's also important for asserting constitutional congressional oversight powers against an out-of-control Executive Branch drunk with political infection. Remember, Congress has received 1023's in the past and they've been made public. So asking for this 1023 to be turned over to the American people to read is not unusual.

Congress owes it to the American people and the brave and heroic whistleblowers to continue to fight for transparency in this matter and make this document public without unnecessary redactions.

I want everyone to remember, that I have read the unredacted version.

I still think he’s GOPe, but something has his knickers in a bunch. I’d guess he’s primarily offended that his senatorial dignity has not been recognized by the FIB. I doubt he’s offended by the uniparty and 2 standards of justice…

It has to do with Poland and Taiwan. The global order rests on certain assumptions, such as the military and industrial might of the US and her western allies. If we don't have the economic or industrial capability, or the will, to keep Ukraine supplied, then why should Eastern European NATO members, or Pacific nations like Taiwan or the Philippines, assume that we'd be willing to engage in a protracted war in their defense?

And also its old news and people need to get past it and stop bringing it up and you'll get canceled if you do.

Joe Biden's response to this is perfect mobster response. He's not saying "that's nonsense" or "that's fake" or "that's taken out of context" or any of that.

He's saying "where's the money" which is basically saying "find the evidence" and that's not what an innocent person says. Its what someone who is guilty but thinks they are getting away with it says.

They put out in no uncertain terms, very publicly, that they were going to be digging up dirt on Charles Grassley.

He might sneak a little Cayenne on his popcorn when Margaret isn’t looking, but that’s about it. And I suspect this is why a lot of the corruption relevations are funneled through him. Most of the chuckleheads in DC are in on it. They can’t do anything, or they will get exposed.

It is valuable to understand that blackmail does not work any more. Nobody on the left is vulnerable to blackmail, because there are no consequences to anything being revealed. Look at what we know for sure to be a fact about so many alleged leaders on the left. Nothing happens. The press buries the story. The establishment embraces them. The law enforcement ignores the revelations.

Biden could be caught on camera turking a 5 year old girl with a fist full of scorpions and nothing would come of it. Who cares if you have something on one of these people, nothing would come of that being revealed to the public.

Conservatives would howl, leftists would claim its all fake and who cares because too much is at stake. The media would bury it. The FBI would bury it with a fake investigation. Congress would huff and rant and hold hearings and send a letter and nothing would come of any of it.

Only from the outside. The power system depends on a mutual blackmail network, to protect themselves from blackmail and to ensure they all have something on everyone. This makes blackmail extremely risky and expensive.

But - and it's a big but - that only applies in public. If the Party wants to take you down, *it* can still viably use blackmail and LE to do it. It's about intra-party control, not extra-party accountability or profit.

216 I think you have that backwards.

The voters obviously don't care about the race stuff being super important. The top two candidates last time were two white guys (Bernie and Biden), despite the activism and money from big dollar donors and the rhetoric of their leaders.


They not only don't care, they don't care so much that they were comfortable with a septigenarian white guy with a history of racial ugliness declaring that he's the arbiter of blackness and that you don't got rhythm if you don't vote for him.

All the race stuff is manipulative, instrumental. There are very few true believers.

222 The power system depends on a mutual blackmail network, to protect themselves from blackmail and to ensure they all have something on everyone.

There's no leverage if there's no consequence to anything being revealed. Its like blackmailing someone for being a great dad, if you tell the world nobody will care. Blackmail only works if there's a price to be paid for things being let out into the public. And there's not any, for those on the left.

If the left wants one of their members destroyed or stopped, they just destroy or stop them, they don't bust out something awful they did.

51 "former intelligence officials" - including the very worst - signed the now-discredited letter that claimed Hunter Biden's abandoned laptop had “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.” Do they still all hold their national security designations? Yeah, they do. That's what makes them valuable.

Congress needs to take action against intelligence agencies that AREN'T %/or are misdirected. In the f*#king meantime, go public and advertise for verifiable evidence of those calls and offer, say a million US dollars, drop other stipulations.

“It is my opinion that both S Corporation returns should be examined to find the actual amount of income and to obtain clues as to where the income may have originated,” he added. “The S Corporation returns might reveal other entities from which the income may have originated.”

I have been saying for months/years that *biden's taxes are FUBAR. The entire clan has been under reporting their actual incomes for decades.

One of the investigations into Hunter was about his under reporting/failing to pay taxes. That investigation has been swept under the proverbial rug likely because of what the IRS/DoJ found.

I think Trump knew all this. His phone call with Ukrainian officials was to flesh this out. It's why the leftist deep state is now going after Trump. I'd say it's personal.

397 DeSantis has no political need to be VP, so it no biggie he wouldn't be. EIther he surpasses Trump in 24 in the primary, which while closer than many believe, Trump has to be the favorite. Then, RDS can run in 28. Two more years of beating the leftists in FL and then on to the campaign trail.

If Trump wins in 24 general, and doesn't once again do the detail work necessary to reign in DC, he is completely gone in 28 and Trump's supporters will have to decide who they want to migrate to. If the dems win in 24, which I expect, RDS gets to play foil against them while in FL. ANd Trump is off stage in 28.

437 As a non-medical person, I understand the problem with the C19 "vaccines" is that they wrap the spike protein in a lipid nanoparticle and inject it. The LNP coating allows the contents to be easily taken in by they body's cells, at which time the mRNA kicks in and teaches the body's cell to produce and show spike on its surface.

That showing of the spike on the surface is what kicks off the immune system process and the generation of antibodies. The antibodies, then go and attack those cells and your body has learned to produce the correct antibodies should you ever come in contact with that virus again.

That would be all well and good if the vaxx stayed in your arm. But unfortunately, and contrary to what the public was told, the vax didn't stay in the arm. Instead the LNPs containing the spike got into the bloodstream and circulated around, being picked up by some people's hearts, reproductive organs etc...

Now the cells of those organs are producing spike on the surface and the body reacts by attacking those cells with antibodies doing damage.

Second problems is there is no way to predict how much spike a person's body would produce. Varied person to person.
