The Biden Bribery Scandal: What Does the FBI Actually Know?

In a sea of coverage on former President Donald Trump’s arraignment in Miami, the Biden bribery scandal keeps growing and evolving while the media do their best to ignore it.

It has long been established that the family of President Joe Biden, including his brother Jim, and son Hunter, have been involved in a web of foreign business entanglements siphoning money from foreign entities and governments for more than a decade.

One of the individuals involved in the scheme, Tony Bobulinski, confirmed the authenticity of emails contained on a laptop belonging to Hunter Biden which explains how the money would be divided up including holding back 10 percent for “the bug guy,” which Bobulinski contends is a reference to Joe Biden.

That all happened back in 2020 through 2022, as the so-called investigation into Biden corruption has languished within a Department of Justice intent on protecting the Biden family.

More recently, a new bombshell emerged from the office of Sen. Chuck Grassley that not only did Joe Biden accept a $5 million bribe from Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company, but now there may be recordings of phone conversations to prove it.

No surprise here, the FBI has “no idea” if those tapes exist or not, and it likely doesn’t care:

FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate on Tuesday denied having any knowledge about the purported existence of audio recordings of President Biden and a Ukrainian businessman who allegedly bribed him while he was vice president.

“I have no idea if there are voice recordings or not,” Abbate told Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) on Tuesday during questioning before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) on Monday accused the FBI of redacting information about the recordings from an informant file alleging a $5 million bribery scheme that the bureau allowed House Oversight Committee members to read last week.

Grassley alleges that there are 15 tapes of first son Hunter Biden and two of Joe Biden being bribed from 2015 and 2016 that the Ukrainian businessman said he kept as “insurance.”

The bribe money bombshell comes on the heels of news that the FBI has had a document in its possession literally for years from a credible source accusing Joe Biden of accepting money from Ukraine in exchange for a change of policy.

FBI Director Christopher Wray has been hiding the document and had been, up until recently, refusing to let the House Oversight Committee have access to it despite the reports’ unclassified status:

The Republican chairman of the House Oversight Committee on Wednesday called off a vote on a contempt of Congress charge against FBI Director Christopher Wray, accepting a last-minute offer by the bureau to allow the full committee access to a confidential document of an unverified tip about President Joe Biden.

Rep. James Comer said in a statement that the committee is removing a contempt resolution against Wray from Thursday’s schedule after receiving an accommodation that would give the full committee access to the document.

“Allowing all Oversight Committee members to review this record is an important step toward conducting oversight of the FBI and holding it accountable to the American people,” the Kentucky Republican said.

What does the FD-1023 report contain from the source accusing Joe Biden of accepting bribe money? Unfortunately, for the public, we don’t yet know.

According to Comer, the original hidden report from the FBI contains references to several other “suspicious activity” reports surrounding various Biden family members including Hunter Biden:

According to Comer, the allegations related to form 1023 may extend beyond a single document. He suggests that there are likely more forms containing additional evidence of bribery linked to the Biden family.

“Once the FBI allowed me and Jamie Raskin, my counterpart on the House Oversight Committee, to go in and look at it, I read it again and then realized that there were two footnotes in there that referenced other 1023s,” he said.

“This is going to turn out, I think, a lot like the suspicious activity reports that the Treasury Cabinet had on the Bidens,” Comer said. “There are a lot more of these than what the federal government wants to admit, and the question is, why hasn’t the federal government done anything about it?”

As it stands now, the appearance of a two-tiered justice system in this country is impossible to ignore. The FBI has had credible and expanding evidence of a bribery scheme engulfing President Joe Biden and his family and they’ve sat on it and ignored it for years. This is the same Biden family that received help from the Secret Service, while Joe Biden was Vice President, to cover up an incident where Hunter Biden abandoned an illegal firearm behind a Delaware convenience store.

Joe Biden, in response, called the bribery allegations a “bunch of malarky” which has been his standard operating procedure when it comes to allegations of corruption within the Biden family. The veneer of a selfless public servant has long ago faded away from Joe Biden revealing a swamp creature trading on his influence and enjoying protection because he’s a member of the correct party.

It’s still unknown just how much evidence and data the FBI and Justice Department have on the Biden bribery scandal that continues to be hidden from public view.
