Joe Biden got some bad news.
Biden’s attempt at damage control went very poorly.
And now Joe Biden’s bribery scandal explodes as the FBI reveals one shocking document.
The FBI finally relented and allowed the members of the House Oversight Committee to view the FD-1023 form where a confidential human source informed the Bureau that Joe Biden allegedly accepted a $5 million bribe from a Burisma executive to influence U.S. policy towards the Ukrainian energy company.
Fox News reports:
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 FBI trusted the source of this information and paid the informant $200,000 for past reliable information.
In the form, the source said he told the Burisma executive that the company needed to pay Joe and Hunter Biden $5 million apiece so Biden would allegedly lean on the Ukrainian prosecutor not to investigate the company.
“$5 million for one Biden, $5 million for the other Biden,” the source reportedly told the Burisma official.
Reporters asked Biden about the fact that a trusted source brought forward credible allegations of bribery against him.
Biden tried to wave off the seriousness of the accusations by making a joke.
“Where is all the money?” Biden laughingly asked.
Texas Senator Ted Cruz was furious and hammered Biden and his weaponized Department of Justice during an interview on Fox Business.
Cruz explained the federal government hasn’t turned up the payments to Biden because the DOJ is corrupt and too busy protecting Biden to investigate credible allegations against the leader of the Democrat Party.
Cruz stated:
We just heard Joe Biden demonstrate the absolute smugness of being insulated by the most politically corrupt Department of Justice in history and the most politically corrupt corporate media in history.
The two together, they surround him, they protect him. Joe Biden says, where’s the money? How does he know that? That they’re not going to find the money? Well, because DOJ is not looking. They don’t want to know the money. It’s the opposite of Watergate.
Follow the money. DOJ’s approach is hide from the money. Run from the money. It is disgraceful.
Burisma paid Hunter Biden $50,000 a month to sit on the board of directors despite Hunter Biden having no experience in the energy industry.
At the time, Joe Biden was in charge of Ukraine policy for the Obama administration.
The deal smelled fishy from the start.
But it could just be the tip of the iceberg.
