Burisma Owner Allegedly Recorded Biden Bribe Convos As 'Insurance
Policy' -- And FBI Covered Up: Grassley

Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) on Monday dropped yet another bombshell
in the recent spate of Biden corruption headlines - that the foreign
national who allegedly bribed then-VP Joe Biden kept seventeen secret
recordings of both Hunter and Joe Biden as an 'insurance' policy.

According to the Washington Examiner, that foreign national is Burisma
owner Mykola Zlochevsky.

Two of the recordings are allegedly between Joe Biden

"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," Grassley said during a speech on the Senate floor.

"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," he continued. "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."

So the FBI covered up the claim that Burisma's owner had secret
recordings between he and the Bidens as an 'insurance policy,'
according to Grassley.

More via the Examiner;

    The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Delaware is handling the ongoing
federal criminal investigation into Hunter Biden. It is allegedly up
to U.S. Attorney David Weiss, a Trump-appointed holdover, to decide
whether to indict the president’s son. In February 2021, Joe Biden
asked all Senate-confirmed U.S. attorneys appointed by Trump for their
resignations, with Weiss a rare exception.

    “What is U.S. Attorney Weiss doing with respect to these alleged
Joe and Hunter Biden recordings that are apparently relevant to the
high-stakes bribery scheme?” Grassley asked Monday.

    Sources previously told the Washington Examiner that the Burisma
owner discussed an alleged bribe of $5 million to Joe Biden and of $5
million to Hunter Biden, according to the paid FBI informant who said
he heard this from Zlochevsky. The sources said Zlochevsky said he
believed it would be difficult to unravel the alleged bribery scheme
for at least 10 years because of the number of bank accounts involved.

    Zlochevsky’s alleged reference to Joe Biden as the “big guy”
appears independent of the apparent reference to the now-president as
the “big guy” by a Hunter Biden business associate during negotiations
with Chinese intelligence-linked businessmen. The China-related
reference occurred in a May 2017 email not made public until October
2020.

And as Just the News notes;

    The FD-1023 includes allegations from a confidential human source
that the head of Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company, hired Hunter
Biden to serve on its board in order to use his father's influence to
stifle an investigation from then-Ukrainian Prosecutor General Viktor
Shokin into the firm. Shokin was removed from his post in 2016 and the
FD-1023 indicates that two Biden family members received $5 million
each for their trouble.

Also on Monday, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY)
subpoenaed Hunter Biden's former business partner, Devin Archer,
demanding he sit for a deposition this week according to CBS News.

In a letter to Archer's attorney, Comer wrote that Archer had "played
a significant role in the Biden family's business deals abroad,
including but not limited to China, Russia, and Ukraine."

"Additionally, while undertaking these ventures with the Biden family,
your client met with then-Vice President Biden on multiple occasions,
including in the White House," he continued.

    Archer's potential testimony to the GOP House Oversight Committee
is a significant milestone in the congressional probe. Archer served
alongside Hunter Biden on the board of Burisma, a Ukraine energy
company, beginning in 2014. During this period, then-Vice President
Joe Biden was deeply involved in Ukraine policy, an era when his
opponents say the energy firm was involved in corruption.

    An independent forensic review of Hunter Biden's laptop data by
CBS News confirmed hundreds of communications between Hunter Biden and
Archer, specifically, emails that suggest working meals were arranged
before or after Burisma board meetings.  Archer is widely believed to
have facilitated Hunter Biden's entry onto Burisma's board. -CBS News

Meanwhile, and we're sure it's unrelated, Biden had to cancel meetings
today to take care of a sudden 'root canal.'
