(Daily Mail) Hunter Biden is the ‘ultimate white privilege guy’ and could potentially face up to 10 criminal referrals, vows the top Republican investigating President Biden and his son’s business dealings he says far exceeds $25 million in foreign payments.
‘You know, at the end of the day, when we wrap this report up, Hunter Biden’s gonna have between six and 10 criminal referrals,’ House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., said on Fox Business – referring to his ongoing investigation.
Comer discussed the hearing he led on Wednesday featuring testimony from two IRS whistleblowers claiming Hunter received ‘special treatment’ during the Justice Department’s criminal investigation. The chairman praised Greene for presenting hard ‘evidence,’ during the six-hour panel, despite Democrats‘ claims the Republicans have no concrete proof Hunter violated any laws.
‘She showed them evidence of the president’s son committing a crime, violating the Mann Act. She showed the plane tickets, she showed the pictures, she showed the evidence,’ said Comer.
‘He violated the Foreign Agent Registration Act, he was money laundering, he was racketeering, he committed wire fraud, he violated the Mann Act. The list goes on and on and on, but yet he gets a slap on the wrist, and the Democrats want to talk about ‘[how] the two-tiered system of justice is racist in America.’ Hunter Biden is the ultimate white privilege guy here,’ he added.
The FD-1023 form details a $10 million total ‘arrangement’ for an exchange of money for policy decisions between then-Vice President Joe Biden, Hunter Biden and a Ukrainian oil executive
Comer also said that the Biden family’s overseas deals likely ‘exceed $25 million
Comer also said that the Biden family’s overseas deals easily ‘exceed $25 million’ according to bank records he’s reviewed and expects to make public soon.
‘They can’t say one thing they did to receive this $25 million. And none of these are legitimate businesses that they got money from. They’re all from our adversaries around the world, foreign nationals.’
His remarks came after the release of an internal FBI document – obtained by DailyMail.com – that included bombshell claims that Joe Biden and Hunter forced a Ukrainian oil executive to pay them $10 million in exchange for the then-Vice President’s influence in getting a senior prosecutor fired.
According to the conversation between a confidential source and Burisma CFO Vadim Pojarski in 2015, Hunter Biden was hired onto the company’s board to ‘protect us, through his dad, from all kinds of problems.’
Burisma CEO Mykola Zlochevsky told the source: ‘It costs 5 (million) to pay one Biden, and 5 (million) to another Biden.’
Zlochevsky added that, although Hunter ‘was stupid,’ and his (Zlochevsky’s) dog was smarter, he was needed on the board ‘so everything will be okay.’
According to the blockbuster FD-1023 form – some of which is redacted – the Confidential Human Source (CHS) met with the high-ranking Burisma executives between 2015 and 2016.
Burisma was looking to spend up to $30 million on a U.S.-based oil and gas company. However, at the time, it was also the subject of a criminal investigation by Ukrainian Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin, which the company knew ‘would have a substantial negative impact on Burisma’s prospective IPO in the United States.’
When asked about the investigation, the form states that Zlochevsky replied: ‘Don’t worry Hunter will take care of all of those issues through his dad.’
Later, then-Vice President Joe Biden made a public statement that Shokin was ‘corrupt, and that he should be fired/removed from office.’
The damning form also reveals:
- ZIochevsky ‘didn’t want to pay the Bidens and says he was ‘pushed to pay’ them.’
- Asked whether Hunter or Joe told him to retain Hunter on the board, Zlochevsky replied: ‘They both did.’
- The source asked why Burisma didn’t just ‘pay some attorney $50,000’ to fight Shokin’s investigation in Ukraine, to which Zlochevsky replied that ‘he/Burisma would likely lose the trial because he could not show that Burisma was innocent.’
- When asked how he would ‘explain suspicious wire transfers’, he responded that he ‘did not send any funds directly to the ‘Big Guy’ (which CHS understood was a reference to Joe Biden).’
- He added that it would take ’10 years to find the records (ie illicit payments to Joe Biden).’
- In a follow-up call, Zlochevsky boasted that Shokin had been fired, there was no longer an investigation into Burisma, and ‘nobody would find out about his financial dealings with the Bidens.’
- He added that, as back-up to his claims, ‘he has many text messages and a total of 17 ‘recordings’ that show he was coerced to make the payments.’
DailyMail.com previously reported that the 17 audio recordings of phone calls – two of Joe Biden and 15 of Hunter Biden – were kept as an ‘insurance policy.’
The FBI FD-1023 form was created on June 30, 2020 based on information from a highly-paid informant and brought to the attention of Republicans by a whistleblower.
Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, obtained and published the document after a months-long back-and-forth between the top Republican and the FBI through ‘legally protected disclosures’ by Department of Justice (DOJ) whistleblowers.
The document contains a limited number of redactions to protect the confidential human source, the handling agents, DOJ whistleblower names and references to connect ongoing investigations, according to a Senate aide.
