| Another Informant Gave the FBI Information About Joe Biden's Bribery Operations -- And the FBI Responded by Shutting That Informant DownA retired FBI supervisor has revealed to Congress that the bureau's Washington field office had a second "politically connected" informant providing information relevant to the Biden family investigation, but was asked to shut down the source in the fall of 2020 shortly before Joe Biden was elected president, Just the News has learned. Retired Special Agent Timothy Thibault, the former No. 2 supervisor in the FBI's Washington field office, told the House Judiciary Committee last week in a transcribed interview he was somewhat taken aback when he received the request from the lead agent in the Hunter Biden tax case in October 2020 to shut down the confidential human source (CHS). "It shocked me a bit because I'm, like, the purpose of -- a confidential informant is to support a case," Thibault told investigators in portions of a transcript reviewed by Just the News. Thibault did not further identify the source in his testimony, but best-selling author Peter Schweizer told Just the News Sunday that he believes he is the person described in the transcript based on past comments from Thibault and after The New York Times recently suggested the FBI had received information in the Hunter Biden case from a "right-wing author." Schweizer said the FBI approached him and he provided to agents evidence about possible criminality in fall 2020. He said there was no politics involved, just facts and he pushed back on the narrative of the Times, noting its journalists reported on the Hillary Clinton-funded Steele dossier submitted to the FBI in 2016. "There are no 'right wing facts' or 'left wing facts.' There are only facts," he said. "And of course they happily accepted the unsubstantiated and unsourced dossier from Hillary Clinton's lawyer without reservation." House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan summoned Thibault for the interview as he investigates allegations that U. S. Attorney, David Weiss and is team did not follow normal investigative procedures when probing Hunter Biden and his family's overseas business dealings. ... Two IRS whistleblowers have already delivered blockbuster testimony to House investigators earlier this summer that they and FBI agents were blocked from asking questions about Joe Biden, and from acquiring a search warrant for Hunter Biden's storage locker or Joe Biden's guest house where evidence was suspected to be located. The IRS agents said they were thwarted from questioning Hunter Biden when the Biden transition team was tipped off to their plan to interview the first son. In addition, Grassley has disclosed an FD-1023 informant report showing that the FBI was alerted to bribery allegations by a confidential human source. That source alleged that Joe and Hunter Biden may have received $10 million in payments for helping to deal with a Ukrainian prosecutor probing the Burisma Holdings gas firm that paid Hunter Biden millions. ... Thibault's testimony raises the prospect that a second informant also brought information to the FBI before the 2020 presidential election and was also walled off.Meanwhile, Kevin McCarthy says that the House will subpoena nine Biden Crime Family figures. "Are there plans to subpoena any other family members? Because according to the Republicans, family members accepted money from --" Bartiromo asked. "Well, it looks to me like nine Biden family members got money. I want to see bank statements. I think they'd have to come before us to answer the questions," McCarthy said. The Speaker said the inquiry gives Congress the legal ability to get bank and credit card statements and force Biden family members to answer questions. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

Got my morning laugh reading about Hunter Biden suing the IRS. The whistleblowers reporting on the sham of an investigation targeted and humiliated him by reporting the truth. I wonder what kind of legal counsel he has that thought that this was a good idea as it will only highlight his lawlessness and remind people again of the millions he never paid taxes on. Targeted = Don't you know who I am!?

Posted by: huerfano It is more than that. By and large, the bureaucrats believe they are 'special' people and they actively dislike the people they are 'serving' and paying their salaries.

Yeah, good luck with that. Sure you can get Donald Trumps financial information, easy peasy, lemon squeezy, because reasons, but I find it hard to believe that that the IRS or banks are going to give that information up without being forced to by SCOTUS.

In East Germany, nobody who had knowledge of Erich Honecker's criminality or corruption would ever have considered walking into the Stasi headquarters and offering his information to the cops working there. He would not have done this for two reasons:
1. He would have known that this was not the Stasi's purpose. It was not there as a legitimate police agency, it was there was there to enforce political objectives and directives and keep an eye on people who might not be totally with the program. Investigating or prosecuting actual crime was not the Stasi's job. Spying on and punishing the people and protecting the rulers was the Stasi's job. 2. If he did, the odds are very good that the Stasi would have imprisoned or murdered him instead of investigating Honecker. So why do people go to the FBI with information about or evidence of the corruption of top officials and those in their orbits? This is not the FBI's job any more than it was the Stasi's.

Posted by: The ARC of History! at September 18, 2023 12:17 pm ++++ Not taxable to the recipient. The recipient can receive as much as he'd like. The tax burden is on the giver of the gift. It comes out of the pool of the estate tax exemption. When you give a gift over IRS limits, you either pay the gift tax on it *or* reduce the tax-free exemption for your estate. If you have no more tax-free exemption (you already used it up and your estate is now fully taxable), then you owe the gift tax. The giver, not the recipient.

60 Whig, that big time lawyer bought Hunter's share in aChinese company that Hunter had to divest for zero dollars and then proceeded to loan him the money to pay off his taxes. Loans are not taxable income. So he screwed the IRS twice and got away with it.

#2 was probably a little more important than #1 on that list.
Posted by: Dr. T at September 18, 2023 12:25 PM (bhRsz) ++++ It surely was, yes. But even if it #2 weren't a factor at all, nobody would have bothered because #1 was still in play.

It is not gifts that this lawyer is giving Hunter, it is loans from a business that Hunter had to divest from. There is no record of this lawyer paying anything for Hunter;s share of the business. It is not costing him a dime. He is giving Hunter Hunter's own money in the form of a loan so no taxes due. Hunter is paying off his tax liens with his ill gotten Chinese gains.

Faced with the realities of the inner workings of the federal government and its private sector cohorts to consistently cover up the misdeeds of its political allies and invent false allegations against its political opponents, how does one view anything coming out of the government systems and its information wing?
I guess what I'm asking is "What all do you question, at this point, and how do you now ascertain truth?" In other words, do I believe the government-media complex is telling the truth when it says Russell Brand/Julian Assange/Trump/Andrew Tate grabbed women by the snatch? Do I believe Russian soldiers rape puppies and kittens before cutting their ears off and wearing them on a necklace? DonI believe COVID vaxxines are safe and effective? Do I believe aliens are in Mexican boxes? Like what is now my measure for validity and truth? It's been said before Falsus in uno, Falsus in omnibus.

And Martha Stewart because she misspoke to the FBI.
Posted by: BruceWayne Worse, her stockbroker who was insider trading himself was given the ultimatum to give up Martha or he went to PITA prison. They did not prosecute Martha on the alleged insider trading but claimed that the difference between Martha's statement and their stool pigeon star 'witness' on formal statements between her and that witness on trivial matters constituted her crime. Arguably under the statute, materiality matters but essentially the FBI has criminalized disagreement with their stool pigeons constitutes the offense. Don't like Martha much but that was bullshit and btw, Martha, way back when, was a stockbroker at one time and obviously to get a license had to know what constituted insider trading.

The bureaucracy is all about perpetuating the bureaucracy. They get much bigger budgets when dems are in charge.
Posted by: huerfano Pournelle's Iron Law of Bureaucracy: In any bureaucratic organization there will be two kinds of people": First, there will be those who are devoted to the goals of the organization. Examples are dedicated classroom teachers in an educational bureaucracy, many of the engineers and launch technicians and scientists at NASA, even some agricultural scientists and advisors in the former Soviet Union collective farming administration. Secondly, there will be those dedicated to the organization itself. Examples are many of the administrators in the education system, many professors of education, many teachers union officials, much of the NASA headquarters staff, etc. The Iron Law states that in every case the second group will gain and keep control of the organization.

Romney's dad was a POS politician as well and is responsible to some degree for Detroit becoming a shithole.

Part of it is needing someone stupid who won't try to act out. Part of it is her connections to Silicon Valley money. Posted by: TheJamesMadison, searching for more with John Huston at September 18, 2023 12:51 PM (LvTSG) _____________ All that and Biden promised a black woman for VP. Who else was there? In a weird perverted way, she is the perfect VP for a drooling retard like Biden. She's stupid, she's lazy, she speaks almost as bad as Biden does, she'll do what she's told, and she won't rock any boats. Match made in heaven.

All I care about is faithful policy representation and not whether they play grabass or not. How many people here are upset that GHWB apparently had a long standing affair with one of his aides which the NYT reported close to the 92 election. Or that when asked what the Bushes talked about on the golf course, GWB said 'pussy'. Even now, after countless policy betrayals, I would wager that some people would still think that the "bushes' exemplified class in office and personally. I don't.

She was vaping and my guess is it was not tobacco. I don;t really care whether she stays or goes or whether it was a hit job or not but if I was in that theatre, I would have wanted her removed. No one made her do what she did.

Maybe? He certainly spun on a dime there and joined the Uniparty. But he already had fuck-you money. Would he really need more?
Either his mask fell off and he was always evil or he got turned through threat or incentive. Posted by: Mark Andrew Edwards, anti-Marxist, buy ammo Powerful, really powerful people move things. Romney, despite being wealthy by our commoner/kulak standards, is a piker compared to them. He was likely made an offer he couldn't refuse. Or else. And that's how things get done.

It's absolutely hilarious that Hunter Biden is suing someone for embarrassing him. How could anything possibly embarrass Hunter Biden?
His entire life is nothing but hookers and blow and shady business deals. He was screwing his dead brother's widow for crying out loud. He is about as slimy as a human can get. But someone embarrassed him by exposing his tax records? Poor poor Hunter. Posted by: Florida Peasant at September 18, 2023 01:13 PM (dr4Q1) 345

Because money is a proxy that can get you more money, sex, power, respect, or whatever, for most people like him, there is never enough. Mitt always let the mask slip whether as governor creating the forerunner of Obamacare or his run as a severely conservative candidate in 2008 or his 48 percent comment in 2012. False in part, false in whole. Posted by: whig at September 18, 2023 01:11 PM (5jVrT) Ah, I'd forgotten about Romenycare. Ok, so always crooked then. He was right about his 48% comment though.

Either graft or blackmail. Or maybe he thought the game was won and started playing prevent defense. Posted by: davidt at September 18, 2023 01:14 PM (SYTee) 353
The media saw how feeble Obama looked in that first debate, and made sure not to make the same mistake again. If I remember, in the second debate Romney bent the knee, but not to Obama. He bent it to the media (moderators). Obama was the same smug, impotent cocksucker from the first debate, but without Romney going after him, and the moderators finger-banging his asshole, he looked much better.

Posted by: sharon(willow's apprentice) ----------- MJ vaping is legal in Colorado btw. Boebert as a trainwreck in personal life is not the same as being a trainwreck in policy representation. From direct personal experience working on the House floor back in the day, I knew quite early on that you had the inside traders, druggies and alkies, the sex freaks, the snobs, and so on as our elected representatives. Only difference is today with cameras everywhere, the general public gets to see what I did. Twas always thus as people not willing to take risks don't ever run for office much.

Remember when Romney knocked Obama back on his keester in the first debate, and then he suddenly stopped fighting afterwards.
The common conception was blackmail, but what if it was a promise of a piece of the pie? At one point I read an article by an insider on Romney's campaign. In the article, they claimed the sudden about face was because one of Romney's advisors told him women and independents were turned off by his confrontational attitude.

Again, not getting too hung up on her behavior, she was being followed, the perp was using night vision recording equipment to record her in a place where recording is prohibited. That is not true. The recording was made on the theatre camera. It was supposed to move back and forth over the crowd but focused on her for longer than it should have. That could have been about the complaints or because she was being targeted but it doesn;t matter. Vaping may be legal in CO but doubt you can do it in a theatre. Like I said, I don;t really care, I just think it is juvenile behavior but if the people of CO want her as their rep, go for it.
