(Congress Report) – The plot surrounding the whole influence peddling/bribery scheme featuring Hunter Biden and possibly President Joe “The Big Guy” Biden continues to develop more twists and turns as time moves forward. It’s like what would happen if filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan teamed up with Christopher Nolan to adapt a John Grisham thriller. It’s convoluted and shocking.
The latest development comes from a report by Margot Cleveland, published by The Federalist, which revealed that the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Pittsburgh office gave a briefing to the Delaware U.S. attorney’s office concerning evidence that implicated the Biden family in a bribery scheme. When the agents spoke with the team in Delaware they had already put in the work to corroborate several claims made by confidential human sources, according to a person who is familiar with the briefing.
“On Thursday, Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, released the FD-1023 summary of a confidential human source’s reporting that the Ukrainian oil and gas company Burisma paid Hunter and Joe Biden each $5 million in bribes so the then-Vice President would ‘protect’ Burisma ‘from all kinds of problems.’ Those bribes were in addition to the more than $4 million in total paid to Hunter Biden and his business partner Devon Archer for sitting on Burisma’s board of directors,” Cleveland wrote.
They continued, “The Federalist has now learned that the Pittsburgh FBI office had corroborated several details contained in the FD-1023 as part of the intake process that former Attorney General William Barr established before the election under the leadership of the Western District of Pennsylvania’s then-U.S. Attorney Scott Brady. Significantly, in briefing the Delaware U.S. attorney on the results of their office’s screening of evidence related to Ukraine, the Pittsburgh FBI agents told the Delaware office they had corroborated multiple facts included in the FD-1023, an individual with knowledge of the briefing told The Federalist.”
Not long after the interview with the CHS in the later part of June 2020, the Pittsburgh FBI office got their hands on a set of travel records for the agency and then confirmed the CHS had taken a trip to various locales that were mentioned in the FD-1023 form during the relevant period of time. The trips included one for 2015 or early 2016 to Kiev, Ukraine, another a few months later to Vienna, Austria, and an excursion to London in 2019.
The Federalist reported previously during the FBI’s briefing of the Delaware U.S. attorney’s office that agents within the Pittsburgh office remarked that the FD-1023 had some credibility, which meant it was worth looking into further. The individual familiar with the briefing has now confirmed the agents also told the office that the FBI in Pittsburgh corroborated the CHS’s presence in the various cities noted at the times claimed.
“The Federalist has also learned that the CHS’s handler corroborated the CHS’s claim that he had met with Oleksandr Ostapenko. According to the source with knowledge of the matter, the CHS’s handler told Pittsburgh’s FBI agents that the CHS told his handler he had an upcoming meeting with Ostapenko. The CHS’s contemporaneous claim of the planned rendezvous with Ostapenko tracked the timing of one of the visits the CHS claimed in the FD-1023 to have had with Ostapenko,” Cleveland penned for The Federalist. “Significantly, the Pittsburgh office briefed the Delaware office on that piece of corroborating evidence that came from the CHS’s handler.”
Cleveland then observes that open-source reporting concerning Burisma buying an interest in an oil and gas company located in North America also perfectly aligned with talks the CHS relayed back to the FBI, which is summaried in the FD-1023 document, the individual familiar with the briefing said to The Federalist.
“That the Pittsburgh FBI office not only provided the Delaware office with a summary of the damning FD-1023 and its conclusion that it bore indicia of credibility but also identified several pieces of corroborating evidence is huge because, to date, it appears the Delaware office did nothing to investigate the allegations contained in the FD-1023,” she added.
Barr pointed out previously that the role of the FBI office in Pittsburgh was restricted to providing a “clearing-house function” for information that was connected to Ukraine in order to sift out “any potential disinformation.” He then stressed that the whole idea behind the intake process was “check[] out the source and credibility of evidence before assigning it to one of the ongoing investigations already pending in the Department,” like the Delaware investigation into President Joe Biden’s troubled younger son, Hunter.
“As such, the Pittsburgh office lacked the authority to subpoena witnesses or records or to use grand jury proceedings to further corroborate the FD-1023. That responsibility fell with the Delaware office,” The Federalist reported. “But not only did the Delaware office apparently ignore the allegations contained in the FD-1023, as well as the corroborating evidence already allegedly accumulated by the Pittsburgh FBI office, but U.S. Attorney David Weiss’s office allegedly secreted the very existence of the FD-1023 from the whistleblowers. Both IRS whistleblowers testified last week that they did not even learn of the existence of the FD-1023 until Barr publicly confirmed he had sent the information to Delaware for further investigation.”
Cleveland went on to explain that even with these particular circumstances, if the Delaware U.S. attorney’s office were to come forward and declare it did indeed investigate the FD-1023, the late claim would basically mean nothing due to the fact that those with the know-how and information to conduct a probe into the complex international money laundering, bribery, and tax fraud scheme were removed from the process and prevented from interviewing necessary witnesses.
“The Delaware office remains mum, however, not even pretending to have investigated the FD-1023’s allegations. That failure is even more scandalous now that we know Pittsburgh had already corroborated several aspects of the CHS’s reporting and briefed Weiss’s office on the corroborating evidence,” the author stated.

For those who are Left leaning, who still think this is all a ‘right wing plot’ – think again. We as a nation, have never had such a thoroughly and publicly corrupt party as the Democrat party. Biden is certainly not the first – Obama was well aware and participated in the corruption; the Clintons were also very much aware, and had their own corruption patterns, and no doubt we can go back generations and find more. With each successive D presidency, the corruption has escalated. Now to say that the R party is free of corruption is yet to be confirmed, but certainly nothing at the level of depravity as the D party.
Are you fucking nuts!? The last Republican president has been charged twice so far since leaving office and if he weren’t president after the muller report came out he would have been charged then. Muller specifically stated a sitting president cannot be tried for these crimes but that in no way means he is innocent, he just can’t be charged because he’s a sitting president. Then when trump said he was exonerated and the whole thing was a hoax(on a side note he has no fucking idea what hoax means because he constantly uses it in instances where it is completely incorrect just like the muller probe). Muller went on tv to specifically say that NO trump is not exonerated and most of his staff were charged in the probe because he was colluding with the Russians to get elected president. There is tons of proof of this but calling the democrats dirty nobody seems to be able to come up with anything but rumors and made up lies by right wing outfits. You believe quotes coming from a news outlet called the federalist? Man you got some serious blinders on. Even Fox News said in court it lied to its viewers to tell them what they wanted to hear and you idiots STILL believe in it. A 5 year old could figure out how corrupt the GOP is and has been since at least bush was in office but bush 2 really pumped up the bullshit for cash game. Let me know when you find that 5 million isn’t legal. How about the over 100 million the taxpayers paid to trump so that secret service and his presidential escort had to stay in his hotels at jacked up rates(more than 4 times the regular rate and that’s 2 to a room with 80 or so people on a detail) violating the hatch act and emoluments clause when he would force visiting dignitaries to stay in his hotels…also at jacked up rates and throw parties with rediculous bills that don’t add up to what was served but still went right into Donnie’s pocket. You say the democrats are corrupt I could name 50 corrupt things trump did(with proof) for any one that you can provide proof for and newsmax and fox aren’t reputable sources they are “for entertainment purposes only” since they lost almost a billion dollars saying the election was rigged and even They knew it was bullshit. But you gotta feed the sheep right? Go back to doing whatever it is you do if you can make it there without drooling all over yourself first. The best thing trump did to make America great again was lose to Biden in a landslide. The country spoke and another imbecile that had to have his daily reports no more than 2 pages, loaded with pictures, and mention his name a lot because he only cared if it was about him. Good leader.
You mean proof that shows the entire Russian collusion scheme was created and paid for by the Clinton crime family? That’s the proof you’re alluding to right???
All of this information is GREAT! When is some action going to take place to IMPEACH PRESIDENT BIDEN and fire is whole cabinet? They are all a disgrace to The United States.
Jim Jordan said he would like to see the FBI moved out of D.C., but from this story, it appears there is just as much corruption inside the field office(s) as in D.C. Time to dismantle the FBI, and build a replacement. Where’s all the other brave whistleblowers within the FBLie? Get some balls and speak-out already.
Awww but you guys loved the fbi when they were investigating Clinton. It’s not the same when your guy is the one doing illegal shit is it? The law doesn’t pick sides and that’s how law should work. It’s worked since the country started and no orange wannabe dictator is going to change that. You’d be on his good side at first but soon as you did something he didn’t like you’d be shot dead or sent to a work camp. The Germans loved hitler til their friends and neighbors started disappearing, then their husbands went to war, then the war came to them and by then all those people cheering in those videos were gone or on the frontlines and it was too late to fight it. Staying silent while your country is attempting to be taken over by a wannabe dictator is just the same as treason. In any other country he would have hung for what he did and all the trumpers would start hiding their flags because they’d know they were next.
The Delaware u.s. attorney and the entire corrupt biden crime family must be immediately jailed.
After what we have also learned about the “Sweetheart Plea Deal” for Hunter Biden in the Delaware district, which is nothing but a scam for Hunter Biden to avoid any jail time, it seems that the DOJ as well as the FBI, are all corrupt in Delaware, but at least today we know we have an honest judge in Delaware, appointed by President Trump.
This is the reason why the Democrats don’t want to allow President Trump to run for the Presidency again, because the Democrats’ “Deep State” criminals can’t run their rackets in places that have honest judges, and maybe if the future, if the American people are lucky, maybe President Trump will appoint honest people to run the DOJ and FBI, then all these Democrat criminals will start being prosecuted and sent to prison, and then the American people will stop being victims of the Democrat Party all the time.
I am utterly disgusted at the blindness of those who refuse to give any credibility to this continueing Biden scandal. It doesn’t seem to matter to diehard Dems. To them, everything is a Republican plot. I was the manager at a pollsite and a Judge in Federal, State and City Agencies. As an immigration practitioner, I found it very difficult to learn that many of my Asylum clients from different countries had been so brainwashed by the dishonest education systems of Muslim and Communist countries, that many had no concept of historical fact, honesty and truth. Their education systems brainwashed their students. I have read some of the comments here and it is as if they attended school in these crooked places and had no ability to discern the truth. When I did the census in neighborhoods with people from the former Soviet Union, some of the older people, who lived under Communism, would cry at what they are seeing here in America. Some of them cried to me that our mainstream press has been no more honest than Izvestia and Pravda under the Communists. I could go on, but this will give the brainwashed, just so much grist for their crooked minds. As a Washingtonian, I studied American History in some of the best schools in the Country. I can truly say, that in the published History of the United States, we have never experienced corruption to the degree that we have now seen under Obama and Biden. But for the conscience of a few people, we would never have learned the extent of the corruption. Whenever it would come out, the Media would ignore it. Although an impeachment investigation will be vitally important to learn more details, only an impeachment will reach most Americans’, because they will not follow the Congressional hearings, as they have not been covered by the mainstream media. Only an actual impeachment proceeding, will force the Media to cover the explosive dishonesty and corruption, that is destroying the soul of the US. It really will not matter, that the Democrat Senators do not have the honesty to impeach their own President. But, it will be too late, as by that time, the vast majority of the American People will know the full extent of the tragic corruption of the Biden Family and those who helped them pull off the heist of America. Unfortunately, it will mean that some venerable agencies may go down the drain with the Bidens and their cohorts.
