January 1, Whistleblowers: Joe Biden Was Well Aware of Hunter’s Shady Business Dealings

ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY…
1929: “Black Thursday,” start of stock market crash, Dow Jones down 12.8%.

New documents from whistleblowers reveal that President Joe Biden “was aware of Hunter Biden’s business arrangements and may have been involved in some of them,” Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) said.

In a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland, FBI Director Christopher Wray, and U.S. Attorney for Delaware David Weiss, Grassley outlined the new whistleblower allegations that claim the FBI has “significant, impactful and voluminous evidence with respect to potential criminal conduct by Hunter Biden and James Biden,” Fox News reported.

The whistleblowers allege that the FBI possesses documents relating to information on Mykola Zlochevsky, owner of Burisma Holdings — where Hunter Biden sat on the board.

“The documents in the FBI’s possession include specific details with respect to conversations by non-government individuals relevant to potential criminal conduct by Hunter Biden,” Grassley wrote.

“These documents also indicate that Joe Biden was aware of Hunter Biden’s business arrangements and may have been involved in some of them,” he continued.

The lawmaker noted that it’s “unclear whether the FBI followed normal investigative procedure to determine the truth and accuracy of the information or shut down investigative activity based on improper disinformation claims in advance of the 2020 election.”

“It is also unclear whether U.S. Attorney Weiss has performed his own due diligence on these and related allegations,” Grassley wrote.

Grassley and Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) led an investigation into Hunter Biden starting in 2019, finding that officials within the Obama administration “knew” of Hunter’s “problematic” position on the board, saying that it interfered “in the efficient execution of policy with respect to Ukraine.”

Hunter Biden joined Burisma’s board in April 2014, while his father was serving as vice president under then-President Barack Obama, and running U.S.-Ukraine relations and policy for the administration.

Additionally, Grassley noted an Oct. 2020 FBI interview with Hunter Biden’s former business partner Tony Bobulinski, wherein he stated that Hunter and his uncle, James Biden, had created a business agreement with foreign nationals connected to the Chinese government during Joe’s tenure as VP.

The summary of Bobulinski’s interview states that work “remained intentionally uncompensated while Joe Biden was vice president,” Grassley said.

“After Joe Biden left the vice presidency, the summary makes clear that Hunter Biden and James Biden worked with CEFC and affiliated individuals to compensate them for that past work and benefits they procured for CEFC,” Grassley said.

Hunter Biden, James Biden, and CEFC Chairman Ye Jianming created SinoHawk Holdings, a joint venture that would be a “vehicle to accomplish that financial compensation.”

Bobulinski told the FBI that 10% of Hunter Biden’s SinoHawk interest was “to be held for Joe Biden.”

Grassley said the FBI “has a document within its possession that notes that then former Vice President Joe Biden met with Hunter Biden and his business associates at a conference in Los Angeles on May 2, 2017 and May 3, 2017.”

In his letter, Grassley said that those meetings “have been publicly disclosed; however, the fact that the FBI maintains documents referencing these data points has not been made public before.”

Based on the whistleblower allegations, Grassley said that Bobulinski’s interview established a “sufficient basis to open a full field investigation on pay-to-play grounds,” but added that it’s unclear whether the FBI has done so, or if the information is being used in an ongoing criminal investigation by U.S. Attorney for Delaware David Weiss.

Grassley said that both the Justice Department and FBI “have not disputed the accuracy of the allegations.”

“The Justice Department’s and FBI’s continued silence on these matters is deafening and further erodes their credibility,” he wrote. “Simply put, enough is enough – the Justice Department and FBI must come clean to Congress and the American people with respect to the steps they have taken, or failed to take, relating to the Hunter Biden investigation.”
