FBI source: Hunter Biden was ‘stupid’ but Burisma paid him to keep Joe Biden involved
Washington Times ^ | Thursday, July 20, 2023 | By Stephen Dinan

Burisma executives thought Hunter Biden was “stupid” but felt they had to keep paying him in order to continue political protection from his father, Joe Biden, an FBI confidential source reported to the bureau in 2020.

The unverified allegations were captured on an FBI form that has been the source of fierce debate in Washington in recent months. Republicans released the four-page document Thursday.

The source, whose identity was redacted, said Burisma officials admitted they hired Hunter Biden to “protect us, through his dad, from all kinds of problems.” In a subsequent meeting, the officials expressed confidence the Bidens would clear obstacles to Burisma getting listed on an American stock exchange.

“Don’t worry, Hunter will take care of all of those issues through his dad,” one executive said, according to the FBI’s summary of the source’s information.

The source also said one of the Burisma figures had 17 recordings involving the Bidens. Two included President Biden himself, the source said.

The document, known as an FD-1023, is the form the FBI uses to collect raw, unverified information from human sources. Republicans had obtained closed-door access but demanded the administration make the document public.

After that didn’t happen, Iowa Sen. Charles E. Grassley, the Senate’s longest-serving Republican and a champion of whistleblowers, released the FBI document with minimal redactions, saying he obtained it through legal means.

He said it implicates the president 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,” Mr. Grassley said. “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....

This is all very important, but my concern is this has been known for years.

All the agencies and Congress have known this for years.

We need to continue to post the Articles. Some of this has been published and forgotten with all the Corruption.

“Burisma executives thought Hunter Biden was “stupid”..”

They sized him up correctly after the first 30 seconds.

What is amazing, is that this level of criminality which puts our nation in danger is treated as if Hunter was caught stealing a pack of cigarettes when he was 15.

People who watch MSNBC, NPR, ABCNNBCBS or NYT have no clue as to any of this. It is not even mentioned on those outlets.

So, 100 million are in the dark.................

Exactly. Everyone's known this forever and nothing has been done about it. It's obvious to anyone with eyeballs that this was a pay for access scheme. The political establishment, including republicans, and law enforcement in the U.S. have decided that this is OK, kickbacks are one of the perks of holding political office similar to Hillary Clinton and the Obama's multimillion dollar "book deals". They all do it so it's become the accepted practice.

Does anyone honestly believe that a Ukrainian energy company needs to import a crack addict from the U.S. to sit on their board because he's the best they can find for the job? Do they have a shortage of crack addicts in Ukraine? I doubt that to this day Hunter Biden could find Ukraine on a map.

“If Obama gives the green light to Democrats to take Biden out, there will be ample evidence that Biden has lied about his knowledge his family was selling his name and office with his permission, and if that’s in fact the case, then there’s likely unreported money that will be found.”

How could Hunter Biden be stupid? He graduated from Yale and his older daughter got into Columbia. A Chinese American student who scores 1590 on his SAT test could not get into those Ivy League schools. I guess that Hunter and his daughter got perfect scores on their SAT tests. /s

Obama knew about this all the way back in 2010. He ordered it stopped repeatedly. He banned Joey's bagman Hunter from the Whitehouse. As soon as Obama was traveling or out of Washington they were right back at it. None of this is new information at all. Pathetic.

"Get Trump and guard Obama's legacy" are the standing orders in every hall, nook, and office, in Washington DC. Murder and arson are just fine if it means stopping Trump. That's the DOJ standing order.

I liked the part where one exec chimed in: “Hunter’s dog is smarter than Hunter.”
