“Why’d you ask such a dumb question?”
This is the answer President Biden actually gave in response to a reporter’s question about why the FBI source in those “1023” notes referred to him as “The Big Guy.” His answer is right up there with “Where’s the money?” and “It’s a bunch of malarkey” in terms of specificity.
Why should anyone believe him, anyway, even if he were to respond in a smoother way? Still, is that the best he can come up with? Miranda Devine has an excellent recap.
She notes that key members of Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss’s team, the ones TRYING to investigate Hunter’s finances, were unaware of the bribery allegation in the “1023” until they read about it in the media last week. The report, from 2020, along with some earlier notes from 2017, were placed in a secure section of the FBI database when the case was transferred by then-Attorney General Bill Barr from Pittsburgh to Wilmington, ensuring that the new investigators wouldn’t see it.
As Devine points out, this withholding of evidence from investigators had to be done either by someone at the FBI/DOJ, or by David Weiss himself. Barr even suggested that there might be an innocent explanation, but it’s hard to imagine what that might be. From what two senior IRS whistleblowers have said, the interference came from “main Justice,” Washington DC.
Devine’s sources have told her the “1023” is a highly detailed document that refers to multiple meetings and phone calls Burisma founder Zlochevsky had with Joe and Hunter Biden, with other people also listening. “It details a bribery scheme in which Zlochevsky said he had to pay Joe and Hunter Biden $5 million each to make sure there were ‘no problems’ for Burisma, including in a potential acquisition of an American oil and gas company.”
Burisma had had a similar issue in 2014 and, according to George Kent at the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine, paid a $7 million cash bribe to Ukrainian prosecutors to “fix” it. The corruption there seems to know no bounds.
Devine made some other important points in a piece from a few days ago, saying that the special counsel looking into Biden’s mishandling of classified documents (I’m not going to bother saying “alleged” here), Robert Hur, should be looking at links between that and the allegations that he and Hunter took $5 million bribes in Ukraine. And he should certainly want to know what’s in those 17 recordings of phone calls with Hunter and Joe that Zlochevsky allegedly made as “insurance.”
Recall the story about that one particularly sophisticated-looking email from Hunter to then-business partner Devon Archer, the one that didn’t look at all like anything written by Hunter. It listed 22 points regarding Ukraine’s political situation and analyzed their upcoming election in detail, anticipating a Russian “destabilization campaign.” It reads like an official briefing, possibly a classified one.
Perhaps you’ve seen the story about the artificial-intelligence analysis performed on this email that shows it to have been written by someone with a far higher IQ than the writer of a dozen comparative writing samples on Hunter’s laptop. (President Biden has called Hunter the smartest man he knows, but that’s a bunch of malarkey.)
So the next question is whether or not the information in that email came out of the papers in Dad’s garage.

We’d also note that even though Joe Biden has bragged about releasing 22 years of tax returns, S-Corp filings are commonly not itemized as to the sources of funds. Biden claimed $15 million that appeared in one of those S-Corps came from speaking fees and book sales, but we have only his word on that. His word as a Biden.
As reported by the U.K. DAILY MAIL, Kentucky Rep. James Comer, chairman of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, says he’ll soon have bank records that show the Bidens accepted “upwards of $20 to $30 million” from foreign nationals. (Comer has explained that this amount might be higher because they haven’t yet factored in money paid to Joe’s brother Jim.)
If that’s the case, it would explain why 20 shell companies were created for the Biden family, structured in a very complicated way. They were started by Hunter and his business associates, with 15 of them being formed after Joe became VP. Details here…
Comer brought up a good question on Thursday’s HANNITY show: “You look back --- why would Joe Biden volunteer during the end of the Obama administration to fly around and hand out foreign aid checks and to talk about foreign policy?” They’ve tracked down the money, he said, in Romania, and know that “less than two weeks after Joe Biden left Romania on Air Force Two [after giving foreign aid], his family started getting wires through shell companies that were laundered back down to Biden’s…”
“Everything we found in Romania is consistent with what this FBI ‘1023’ form alleges...”
When asked if he’d had any contact with Zlochevsky about the recordings he allegedly made, Comer said, “Unfortunately, nobody’s had any contact with him for the last three years.”
“MSNBC makes fun of me when I said that there are a lot of people that were involved in the Biden shenanigans that are currently missing. But, with respect to this oligarch, we think we know where he is. He just hasn’t been seen in public for a long time…” (Aside: he’s probably hiding out in the secret underground lair he shares with his personal food taster and army of bodyguards.) Comer’s committee continues to follow the money.

Individuals familiar with the investigation of the FBI’s handling of the “1023” tell Margot Cleveland at THE FEDERALIST that the Bidens allegedly “coerced” foreign nationals to pay them $10 million in bribes. They also tell her the FBI continues to stonewall.
She says there’s other information in the “1023” providing context that supports what the CHS told the FBI.
According to the CHS --- a paid source whom the FBI (and likely CIA) considered “highly credible” --- Zlochevsky told him after Trump’s unexpected win in 2016 that he feared an investigation would reveal his payments to the Bidens, including $5 million to Hunter and $5 million to Joe. It was during that conversation that Zlochevsky said the Bidens had “coerced” him into paying the bribes.
(Note: this is consistent with information in our story from yesterday that came from other recordings leaked to OAN from another source in 2018.)
When the CHS said he hoped Zlochevsky had taken precautions to protect himself, Zlochevsky allegedly described the steps he’d taken, saying he’d never paid “The Big Guy” directly and that it would take some ten years to unravel the various money trails.
And that was when Zlochevsky allegedly told the CHS about the 17 recordings he’d made of their phone conversations, as a kind of “insurance policy.” Is it possible the FBI got hold of those recordings and destroyed them or hid them away? Are they trying to do that now? Who knows?
Also, Cleveland confirmed through her sources that, contrary to what Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin has been saying, this information was unrelated to information Rudy Giuliani had provided to U.S. Attorney Scott Brady in Western Pennsylvania. Recall that Raskin was also incorrect-or-lying-and-
The FBI still refuses to provide any information on what steps, if any, they took to investigate these detailed claims. I would guess NOTHING. After all, they were much too busy helping to construct and disseminate the Trump/Russia Hoax and anything else they could frame Trump for to bother with this.
