Comer Puts Dollar Amount On Alleged Biden ‘Bribery’ Scheme

A top congressional investigator is offering new clues about a suspected criminal “bribery” scheme involving President Joe Biden.

In a letter sent Wednesday to FBI Director Christopher Wray, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) revealed more specific terms for the bureau to find a record he demanded in a subpoena with a deadline that passed two weeks ago.

A particular FD-1023 form, according to Comer, may reference some variant of “five million” and “June 30, 2020.” “These terms relate to the date on the FD-1023 form and its reference to the amount of money the foreign national allegedly paid to receive the desired policy outcome,” he wrote.

The newly revealed date lands on the calendar about two weeks after Ukrainian officials announced there had been a $5 million bribe aimed at ending an investigation into the founder of Burisma Holdings, the same Ukrainian gas company at which Biden’s son, Hunter, served on the board for several years.

At the time, Ukrainian anti-corruption prosecutor Nazar Kholodnytsky said a handful of suspects had been detained but stressed that “Biden Jr. and Biden Sr. do not appear in this particular proceeding,” according to Reuters.

No reference to Ukraine nor any other country appears in Comer’s letter to Wray, but the chairman explained that he was providing more information because the FBI had failed to acknowledge the existence of the document and bureau staff “indicated” the search terms in his subpoena were too broad.

“To the extent there are numerous documents referencing ‘Biden’ and ‘five million’ dollar payments, please let us know promptly,” Comer wrote.

Comer said whistleblower disclosures have led him and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) to believe the Department of Justice (DOJ) and FBI have an unclassified FD-1023 form describing the alleged scheme involving the elder Biden, dating back to his time as vice president, and a foreign national.

The FBI, which says such a form is used to record claims from confidential human sources, has cautioned against the disclosure of unverified information from informants.

“The FBI’s mission is to protect the American people,” the FBI told the New York Post on Thursday. “Releasing confidential source information could potentially jeopardize investigations and put lives at risk. The FBI remains committed to cooperating with Congress’s oversight requests on this matter and others as we always have.”

Comer insisted the oversight panel does not seek the identity of the confidential human source who may have provided the Biden-related allegations. “Furthermore, there are reasonable accommodations that would alleviate the FBI’s concerns about exposing CHS (confidential human source) information, including appropriate redactions,” he wrote.

Offering some leniency, Comer told Wray the deadline for a response to his subpoena had been extended to May 30. “If the FD-1023 form is not produced by that date, the Committee will initiate contempt of Congress proceedings,” he warned.

‘Please Tell Me That’s Not True’: Dems Can’t Believe Biden Is Ditching Town Amid Debt Talks, Report Claims

Welp, it looks like Democrats in Congress are starting to regret having a president who was praised by many and supported by none for nearly 50 years in the Oval Office.

According to a new report, multiple Congressional Democrats are in complete disbelief that President Joe Biden is going to ditch Washington, D.C., for Memorial Day Weekend — even as the U.S. is just days away from defaulting on its debt.

Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) has been showing up to work every day this week with a pretty sharp message and explicit demands in order to draft a deal that would stave off a national debt default on June 1 — but after months of Biden saying that he won’t negotiate, his party is now starting to wonder what the end game-plan is here.

“It’s time to bring the president off the bench, or bring somebody off the bench,” one anonymous elected Democrat told POLITICO. “No one’s responding to anything. Kevin’s consistently on message. We have the Oval Office. I’ve never seen anything like it.”

But Biden has no interest in getting in the game. He’s content to go to Camp David.

“Please tell me that’s not true,” said another lawmaker to POLITICO. “You’re going to see a caucus that’s so pissed if he’s stupid enough to do that.”

Sorry to break it to you, toots, or dude, or whomever you are — it is true. He’s getting out of town like a bat of Wuhan.

The guy who billed himself as the key leader who could sit down with those “across the aisle” and make a deal isn’t capable of doing that. Polls show that most Americans agree with McCarthy’s demands for budget cuts, as well as work requirements for welfare.

Per POLITICO, Democrats are so desperate to get the White House to take any sort of action that they are openly calling on the press to put pressure on the Biden administration to make a deal. Otherwise, they just might have to accept the Republicans’ plan in order to avoid a default.

“The scale of the cuts is staggering, which really the public knows very little about,” Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) said. “The president should be out there.”

“Help us,” DeLauro begged reporters. “I don’t want you to feel that you’re being co-opted, but you have a responsibility as well.”
