A subpoenaed FBI informant file links President Joe Biden to a bribery scheme worth five million dollars, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) publicly disclosed.
Comer revealed the size of the alleged bribe Wednesday in a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray, who continues to stonewall Comer’s subpoena to obtain the unclassified document from the bureau. In the letter threatening action, Comer pledged to hold the FBI in contempt of Congress if Wray does not provide the file.
The two men scheduled a meeting next week to discuss the dispute.
In addition to the sum of the alleged bribe, Comer’s letter revealed the date of the whistleblower’s tip to be June 30, 2020. Comer issued the subpoena following legally protected disclosures by a whistleblower to Sen. Chuck Grassley’s (R-IA) office.
Based on the timing of a cash bribe allegedly offered in Ukraine, the New York Post speculated a link between the Biden family’s deals in Ukraine and the alleged bribe:
In a remarkable coincidence, Ukrainian officials held a press conference in Kyiv on June 13, 2020 — 17 days before the FBI tipoff — where they showed off $5 million in cash allegedly offered as a bribe to end an investigation of natural gas company Burisma’s founder Mykola Zlochevsky.
Burisma employed first son Hunter Biden from 2014 to 2019 and an executive from the firm met Vice President Biden at an April 16, 2015, dinner in Washington.
The cash seized by Ukrainian officials in 2020 was paid in American $100 bills that were put on display — and matches the amount that Joe Biden allegedly received years earlier.
If the alleged bribe involves Burisma, speculation leaves unclear what, if any, U.S. policies were altered because of it.
Joe Biden allegedly promoted U.S. support for Ukraine’s natural gas industry only days after Hunter Biden joined Bursima’s board in 2014, according to former Obama White House stenographer Mike McCormick. Then-Vice President Joe Biden left office in 2017.
Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss refused to allow McCormick to testify before his tax probe into Hunter Biden, McCormick told New York Post.
In May, two IRS agent whistleblowers alleged the Justice Department politically interfered in a tax probe. Joe Biden’s appointed Attorney General, Merrick Garland, denied appointing a special prosecutor in the case to provide a degree of separation between the probe and Joe Biden.
The DOJ’s alleged political interference in the tax probe mirrors the FBI’s resistance to provide the bureau’s informant file to Congress.

“As previously stated, the whistleblower disclosures indicated that the FBI and Department of Justice (DOJ) are in possession of an FD-1023 form describing an alleged criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Biden and a foreign national relating to the exchange of money for policy decisions,” Comer wrote Wray.
“The FBI’s refusal to produce this single document is obstructionist. Nevertheless, to narrow the breadth of the subpoena, we are providing additional terms based on unclassified and legally protected whistleblower disclosures that may be referenced in the FD-1023 form: ‘June 30, 2020’ and ‘five million,’” he continued.
Comer added if he does not receive the informant’s file, he will begin the process to hold the FBI in contempt of Congress, a step that would put significant pressure on the FBI to disclose the form.
Mike Davis, founder and president of the pro-Trump Article III Project and former Chief Counsel for Nominations to Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, told Breitbart News holding the FBI in contempt of Congress “will pave the way to serious reforms, ensuring the FBI understands it’s not above the law.”
“For too long, the FBI leadership’s arrogance led them to believe they are unaccountable to the American people,” he said. “Their obstruction and contempt of Congress will further erode Americans’ confidence the FBI is fair and impartial.”
“The FBI’s mission is to protect the American people,” the FBI issued a statement to reporters. “Releasing confidential source information could potentially jeopardize investigations and put lives at risk. The FBI remains committed to cooperating with Congress’s oversight requests.”

A donor with deep ties to Ukraine loaned Joe Biden’s younger brother half-a-million dollars at the same time the then-vice president oversaw U.S. policy toward the country, according to public records reviewed by POLITICO.
The 2015 loan came as Biden’s brother faced financial difficulties related to his acquisition of a multimillion-dollar vacation home, nicknamed “the Biden Bungalow,” in South Florida.
There is no indication that the loan influenced Joe Biden’s official actions, but it furthers a decades-long pattern, detailed in a POLITICO investigation earlier this month, by which relatives of the former vice president have leaned on his political allies for money and otherwise benefited financially from the Biden name.

Details of the loan are laid out in property records in Collier County, Florida, where Biden’s younger brother, James, and James’ wife Sara, owned until recently a home on Keewaydin Island. The luxurious, six-bed, seven-bath home comes with a guest house and sits on five acres along a pristine, miles-long stretch of sandy beach.
In May 2015, James and Sara Biden took out a second mortgage against the home. The mortgage secured a $500,000 loan they had received from a corporate entity, 1018 PL LLC, that had been registered in Delaware two months earlier.


Joe Biden's resume is unmatched, but his past positions make him a target on the left.

The documents gave no hint who was behind 1018 PL, but last February, as James and Sara were selling the house, the lender filed a release of the mortgage, a document that discharges a lien in the public land records. The release revealed that 1018 PL LLC was controlled by John Hynansky, a Ukrainian-American businessman and longtime donor to Joe Biden’s campaigns.
“John Hynansky is a longtime friend of the Bidens,” said a spokesman for James and Sara Biden. “He did provide a series of loans during a two-year period while the Bidens were undergoing major renovations of the island home.” The spokesman said that the debt was also secured by James’ and Sara’s primary residence, and that the 6 percent interest they paid was above prevailing market rates. He did not address a question about why they sought financing from Hynansky rather than a financial institution.

The former vice president’s ties to Hynansky date back to at least 1987, when Hynansky and his then-wife, Deanna, cut campaign checks for $1,000 each to support Biden’s first presidential run. A spokesman for the Biden campaign, Andrew Bates, declined to comment for this story.
Hynansky, born in Germany after his parents fled Ukraine during World War II, came to the U.S. as a child in 1949, settling in Delaware. He became a successful car dealer, first in the U.S., then in Post-Cold War Ukraine, earning a reputation as a hard-nosed negotiator who was well-liked by his employees. He also became a major philanthropist of Ukrainian causes in the U.S. and Ukraine, underwriting sports, culture, orphanages and hospitals.
In the early 1990s, when the government of Ukraine lacked the funds to buy the property for a consulate in New York, Hynansky financed the purchase himself.
Over the years, Hynansky and his relatives donated generously to both Republican and Democratic causes. Biden’s campaign coffers have been the largest recipients of their largesse, taking in roughly $100,000, including a $30,800 contribution to the Obama Victory Fund in 2008, according to FEC records.
As a senator, Biden’s campaign occasionally paid, in accordance with Senate ethics rules, for him to make use of a private jet owned by Hynansky’s son, Michael, who has succeeded his father as president of Winner Automotive Group. Michael Hynansky has donated thousands of dollars to Biden, and more recently, to both Donald Trump and the Republican National Committee.
Neither John nor Michael Hynansky responded to emails requesting comment. A person answering the phone at Michael Hynansky’s office said Michael Hynansky would not be commenting.
The Hynanskys and the Bidens also overlapped in the small world of Delaware’s upper crust, where Hynansky’s daughter, Alexandra, grew up as a close friend of the senator’s sons, according to a person who knows both families. Joe Biden was prominently seated at Alexandra Hynansky’s wedding, according to the person, who also attended. “John made a point of noting that Biden was present, and thanked him,” the person said.

Paradigm: Fraud allegations against Biden family

The entrepreneur’s style could be flamboyant — he used a cigarette holder and occasionally wore a cape — but he made for a soft-spoken presence on the Wilmington social scene, especially in contrast to the gregarious senator, according to the person. “If Joe Biden was there, you knew Joe Biden was there,” the person said. “You could be blind and only have ears, but you knew Joe Biden was there. That wasn’t true of John at all.”

After Biden was sworn in as vice president, his office arranged for Alexandra and Deanna Hynansky to attend the annual White House Easter Egg Roll in 2009, according to a person familiar with the visit.
In July of that year, Biden name-checked Hynansky in a speech in the Ukrainian capital, Kiev. “My very good friend, John Hynansky, a very prominent businessman from Delaware, is here,” Biden remarked. “I had breakfast with him the other day.”
In March 2014, Russia annexed the Crimean peninsula in Eastern Ukraine, setting off an international crisis. As the administration’s point-man on Ukraine, Biden led the U.S. response.
The next month, Biden’s son Hunter was appointed to the board of Burisma, a Ukrainian natural gas company, receiving compensation that was reportedly as high as $50,000 a month at times. Two years later, Joe Biden successfully demanded the removal of Ukraine’s prosecutor general, Viktor Shokin, who was unpopular with Western leaders. At the time, Shokin’s office had an open probe of Burisma’s owner. The potential conflict of interest has drawn scrutiny. Spokespeople for Biden have said his son’s dealings did not influence his official actions, and no evidence has emerged of wrongdoing on his part in the matter, according to the New York Times.
In the meantime, James and Sara Biden were facing problems of their own. From the start, their $2.5 million purchase of the remote vacation home was, in many ways, more whimsical than practical.
“It’s more than just beautiful,” said Sherry Irvin, a real estate agent involved in James and Sara’s purchase of the house, which is only accessible by boat. “It has a spiritual quality, if that doesn’t sound too corny.”
Days after James and Sara acquired the house in late December 2013, Joe Biden arrived for a holiday visit. But the vice president’s entourage discovered a problem, according to a person familiar with the visit: a leaky cistern that left the house without running water.

A leaky cistern was only the beginning. While taking out a $2.1 million mortgage on the house, James and Sara missed federal tax payments of $589,000 in 2013 and $30,000 in 2014, according to IRS liens filed against the house. At the same time, they undertook expensive renovations, which they struggled to pay for. In December 2014, a contractor filed a lien against the house for $75,000 in unpaid bills for painting and other services.
As the problems mounted, James and Sara put the house up for sale in early 2015 with an asking price of $6 million. They also sought a new source of financing.
In Florida, a second mortgage can be harder to obtain, because the lender on a first mortgage gets preferential treatment in the event of a foreclosure, according to Alex Mestdagh, a real estate lawyer in central Florida. This makes a second mortgage riskier for a lender. “If there was a foreclosure, they would be wiped out,” he said.
But that May, James and Sara obtained the half-million dollar loan from Hynansky through a second mortgage, and they went about settling their debts.
The house sat on the market, and in September 2017 another setback arrived. Hurricane Irma hit south Florida, inflicting significant damage on the Biden Bungalow. The resulting insurance claim was in the seven figures, according to a person familiar with it.
Last February, the Biden Bungalow finally sold for $1.35 million to SC-Keewaydin LLC, a corporation controlled at the time by two Florida architects — Randall Stofft, a past donor to George W. Bush’s and Rudy Giuliani’s presidential bids, and his business partner, John Cooney. Cooney declined to comment. The next month, Cooney amendedSC-Keewaydin’s paperwork to add a new authorized member, FJP LLC, a Florida corporation controlled by Frederick J. Peruzzi, a Pennsylvania car dealer, who did not respond to emails requesting comment. The buyers appear to have no connection to Joe Biden.
Around the time that the sale closed, the holder of the first mortgage on the house filed a “satisfaction and release of mortgage” acknowledging “full payment and satisfaction” of the original $2.1 million loan. Meanwhile, Hynansky filed a “release of mortgage” on the second mortgage, identifying himself as the managing member, and acknowledging only “payment,” rather than full payment and satisfaction.

In general, a lender can file a simple release, rather than a “full satisfaction,” to release the lien on a house when a debt has not been fully paid back. In that case, the borrower still owes money to the lender, but the debt is no longer secured by the house.
Carlo Zampogna, the Florida lawyer who prepared both the satisfaction of the first mortgage and the release of second mortgage, the one from Hynansky, declined to comment.
The spokesman for James and Sara Biden said that they had settled the debt with Hynansky in full, paying more than $600,000, and that the Keewaydin house was sold for a loss.

Officials voiced frustration Wednesday at more questions about the first family

The questions had covered Ukraine, North Korea and Sudanese peace talks when one of the White House briefing room’s more robust questioners hijacked proceedings on Wednesday afternoon.
After citing a secret F.B.I. file, an anonymous I.R.S. whistleblower and a Harvard-Harris poll earlier this month that found 53 percent of the public were suspicious of the first family’s ties to foreign powers, The New York Post’s Steven Nelson got to his question.
‘So what do you say to the majority of Americans who believe that the president is himself corrupt?’ he asked.
‘Jesus,’ was White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre’s response, muttered off camera as she stared at her feet on the briefing room podium.

FBI director will let top Republican LOOK at Biden ‘criminal scheme’ document: Chris Wray offers compromise on ‘$5million bribery’ memo to avoid contempt charges
The internal unclassified FD-1023 form apparently details an ‘arrangement’ for an exchange of money for policy decisions, the Republicans have said
They issued a subpoena for the document last month and have threatened to hold FBI Director Chris Wray in contempt of congress

But Comer was left unsatisfied, and has said he will proceed with holding Wray in contempt if he does not hand over the document to the full committee.

Oversight Chair James Comer and Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, spoke with FBI Director Christopher Wray by phone on Wednesday

‘We have been clear that anything short of producing these documents to the House Oversight Committee is not in compliance with the subpoena,’ Comer said in a statement.

On Tuesday Speaker Kevin McCarthy backed up Comer’s contempt threat — telling Fox and Friends he was ‘prepared’ to move forward with the charge.

‘We have jurisdiction over the FBI, which they seem to act like we do not. I personally called Director Wray and told him he needs to send that document. Today is the deadline,’ McCarthy said.

A majority of voters believe FBI officials tried to cover up a bureau informant file that allegedly details a $5 million bribery scheme involving an exchange of money for policy decisions between now-President Joe Biden and a foreign national, a Rasmussen Reports poll found Wednesday.
The FBI’s informant file allegedly linked Joe Biden to the family’s business deals in Ukraine, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) revealed Tuesday. The FBI file originated from an interview the bureau conducted with an informant, who is reportedly a “highly credible” FBI source with a history dating back to the Barack Obama administration.
The FBI refused to comply with Comer’s subpoena for nearly a month. Eleven hours before the House Oversight Committee planned to assemble to vote on holding FBI Director Wray in Contempt of Congress, the FBI agreed to permit all members of the Oversight Committee to review an unclassified file.
The bureau’s capitulation came on the same day polling revealed that 60 percent of voters believe it is likely that top FBI officials helped cover up any alleged wrongdoing the document might detail by Joe Biden or his family, including 48 percent who believe it is “very likely.”
“Thirty-three percent (33%) don’t believe an FBI cover-up is likely, including 16% who say it is Not At All Likely,” the poll found.
The poll surveyed 999 likely voters from June 4-6 with a +/- three percent margin of error.
The committee stated Wednesday:
After weeks of refusing to even admit the FD-1023 record exists, the FBI has caved and is now allowing all members of the Oversight and Accountability Committee to review this unclassified record that memorializes a confidential human source’s conversations with a foreign national who claimed to have bribed then-Vice President Joe Biden.
“Allowing all Oversight Committee members to review this record is an important step toward conducting oversight of the FBI and holding it accountable to the American people,” the committee added.
 

71% of Americans and half of all Democrats say Biden, 80, is too old to be president​

most voters say they are worse off since he took power, according to damning DailyMail.com poll

A new poll for DailyMail.com lays bare the challenge facing President Joe Biden as he runs for reelection: Almost half of Democrats believe he is too old for the job, and 52 of all voters believe they are worse off since he became president.

Republicans have used both as attack lines in their campaigns to unseat Biden.


The president has always been gaffe-prone, but now any botched comment is seized on as evidence that the 80-year-old is no longer fit for office.

And after presiding over gas prices spikes and a year of rampant inflation, Republicans believe they can beat him on pocket book issues.

A new DailyMail.com/J.L. Partners poll shows how Biden is vulnerable on both issues

It found that 71 percent of likely general election voters believe he is too old to be president — let alone at the end of a second term, when he would be 86.

The numbers are skewed by political preference, but even 49 percent of Democrats agree.


Only 28 percent of them believe he is ‘about the right age.’

Biden has tried to laugh off concerns that he no longer has the energy or sharpness for the job, but those efforts have sometimes backfired.

On Friday he tried it in front of a friendly crowd at a gun control rally in Connecticut.

‘A lot of you are tired. You’re tired. No, I get it. Try being 110 and doing it again,’ he said to laughs.

But he left everyone confused at the end of the speech when his final words were: ‘God save the Queen.’

At 80, Biden is already the nation’s oldest president. Every day he extends the record.
