President Biden and his son Hunter Biden reportedly engaged in a $10 million bribery scheme, coercing Burisma CEO Mykola Zlochevsky to pay them millions so he could get rid of the Ukrainian prosecutor investigating his company.

The allegations against the father and son duo were made in an unclassified FBI document released Thursday by Sen. Chuck Grassley. The senator says he released it so that Americans can “read this document for themselves without the filter of politicians or bureaucrats.” The unclassified document is dated June 30, 2020, and says the source was “telephonic.”

Joe Biden and Hunter Biden allegedly received $5 million apiece.

The FBI-generated FD-1023 form was obtained by Grassley after disclosures by Justice Department whistleblowers according to his office.

@ChuckGrassley just released the unclassified FBI FD-1023 form alleging VP Joe Biden was involved in a $5,000,000 bribery scheme.

IRS whistleblower Ziegler never received this form & under oath yesterday told @GOPoversight they potentially had corroborating evidence. https://t.co/GxCxm0NXTn

Fox News reported, “That FD-1023—a confidential human source (CHS) reporting document—reflects the FBI’s interview with a ‘highly credible’ confidential source who detailed multiple meetings and conversations he or she had with a top executive of Ukrainian natural gas firm Burisma Holdings over the course of several years starting in 2015. Hunter Biden, at the time, sat on the board of Burisma.”

Via the form, Zlochevsky tells his source that he has “many text messages and ‘recordings’ to “show he was coerced to make such payments” to the Bidens.

Biden took full credit for pressuring Ukraine to fire prosecutor Viktor Shokin when he was vice president. The part that he allegedly left out was that he was paid millions to do so. During that time, Hunter Biden was sitting on the company’s board making big bucks. The then vice-president threatened to withhold $1 billion in US aid if Shokin wasn’t fired.

“The source reported to the FBI that ‘in late 2015 or 2016, during the Obama/Biden Administration, CHS was first introduced to officials at Ukraine natural gas business Burisma Holdings through [redacted] Oleksandr Ostapenko.’ The form reflects that there is an additional FD-1023 detailing information brought by the source dated Jan. 2, 2018,” according to Fox News.

“CHS and Ostapenko traveled to Ukraine and went to Burisma’s office…the purpose of the meeting was to discuss Burisma’s interest in purchasing a US-based oil and gas business, for purposes of merging it with Burisma for purposes of conducting an IPO in the US,” the form reveals. “Burisma was willing to purchase a US-based entity for $20-$30 million.”

CHS reportedly attended that meeting, as did Burisma’s CFO Vadim Pojarski and Karina Zlochevsky, the daughter of the CEO and founder Mykola Zlochevsky.

The form details a couple of meetings where sources laid out what transpired.

“CHS recalled this meeting took place around the time Joe Biden made a public statement about (former) Ukraine Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin being corrupt, and that he should be fired/removed from office,” the form states concerning one meeting. “CHS told Zlochevsky that due to Shokin’s investigation into Burisma, which was made public at this time, it would have a substantial negative impact on Burisma’s prospective IPO in the United States.”

“Zlochevsky replied something to the effect of, ‘Don’t worry Hunter will take care of those issues through his dad,” the form recounts, adding “did not ask any further questions about what that specifically meant.”

Zlochevksy went on to state that “Hunter Biden advised Burisma it could raise much more capital if Burisma purchased a larger US-based business that already had a history in the US oil and gas sector.”

“CHS advised Zlochevsky it would be problematic to raise capital in the US given Shokin’s investigation into Burisma as nobody in the US would invest in a company that was the subject of a criminal investigation,” the form continued according to Fox News.

“CHS suggested it would be best if Burisma simply litigate the matter in Ukraine, and pay some attorney $50,000,” the form goes on to explain, but Zlochevsky said Burisma “would likely lose the trial because he could not show that Burisma was innocent.”

NOW American ppl can see what I saw/For yr Ive worked 2expose FBI doc alleging criminal bribe btwn then VP Biden &foreign natl 2day thx to brave whistleblowers U can see 4yourself what FBI tried to hide. What did FBI do to investigate serious claims from FBIs own trusted source??

“Zlochevsky also laughed at CHS’s number of $50,000 (not because of the small amounts but because the number contained a ‘5’) and said that ‘it costs 5 (million) to pay one Biden, and 5 (million) to another Biden,” the form shockingly alleged. “CHS noted that at this time, it was unclear to CHS whether these alleged payments were already made.”

“Zlochevsky made some comment that although Hunter Biden ‘was stupid, and his [Zlochevsky’s] dog was smarter,’ Zlochevsky needed to keep Hunter Biden [on the board] ‘so everything will be okay,’” the form contended.

The source involved evidently felt it was a “mistake” to hire Hunter Biden and that Zlochevksy “should fire Hunter Biden and deal with Shokin’s investigation directly so that the matter” stayed an issue in Ukraine and so that it did not “turn into some international matter.”

Zlochevsky said not to worry and “this thing will go away anyway.” When CHS said he should back out, Zlochevksy said that “it’s too late to change his decision.”

The form also covered a “2016/2017 telephone call.” The source spoke with Zlochevsky after the 2016 presidential election and he was “not happy Trump won the election.”

Good job @RepDanGoldman !! You confirmed @POTUS was helping his son with his Chinese business deals. https://t.co/2QURTihPHe

According to the form, Zlochevsky didn’t want to pay the Bidens but felt he was “pushed to pay” them.

After Shokin was fired, he said, “Nobody would find out about his financial dealings with the Bidens.” As insurance, Zlochevsky said he had “a total of 17 recordings” involving the Bidens… “two of the recordings included Joe Biden and the remaining 15 recordings only included Hunter Biden.”

He also claimed to have “two documents (which CHS understood to be wire transfer statements, bank records, etc.), that evidence some payment(s) to the Bidens were made, presumably in exchange for Shokin’s firing.”

“For the better part of a year, I’ve been pushing the Justice Department and FBI to provide details on its handling of very significant allegations from a trusted FBI informant implicating then-Vice President Biden in a criminal bribery scheme. While the FBI sought to obfuscate and redact, the American people can now read this document for themselves, without the filter of politicians or bureaucrats, thanks to brave and heroic whistleblowers,” Grassley claimed, according to Fox News.

.@GOPoversight found the Bidens received over $10M from Ukraine, Romania & China.

Today, independent criminal tax evasion investigators from IRS confirmed our numbers.

This investigation was slow walked & we’re to expect Joe knew nothing?

“What did the Justice Department and FBI do with the detailed information in the document? And why have they tried to conceal it from Congress and the American people for so long? The Justice Department and FBI have failed to come clean, but Chairman Comer and I intend to find out,” the senator vowed.

“The FBI’s Biden Bribery Record tracks closely with the evidence uncovered by the Oversight Committee’s Biden family influence-peddling investigation. In the FBI’s record, the Burisma executive claims that he didn’t pay the ‘big guy’ directly but that he used several bank accounts to conceal the money. That sounds an awful lot like how the Bidens conduct business: using multiple bank accounts to hide the source and total amount of the money,” House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer charged, according to Fox News.

If you think the Biden family’s business dealings are complicated, that’s because it was by design.

The Bidens intentionally sought to hide payments from China, Romania, & others and created 20 fake companies.

“At our hearing with IRS whistleblowers, they testified that they had never seen or heard of this record during the Biden criminal investigation, despite having potentially corroborating evidence. Given the misconduct and politicization at the Department of Justice, the American people must be able to read this record for themselves. I thank Senator Grassley for providing much-needed transparency to the American people. We must hold the Department of Justice accountable for seeking to bury this record to protect the Bidens,” he declared.
