Republican Senator Chuck Grassley dropped a bombshell revelation on Monday indicating the foreign national at the heart of the burgeoning bribery scandal involving President Biden and his son, Hunter, made recordings of phone calls with the two as an “insurance policy.”
Congressional Republicans, after a battle with the FBI, were allowed to view a redacted FD-1023 informant file from June of 2020, which purportedly shows President Biden engaged in a “criminal bribery scheme” while serving as Vice-President, according to Grassley.
Grassley pointed out the dichotomy between the FBI’s efforts to conceal the document, something he called “playing games with the American people,” and their brazen, politically motivated efforts to do so while at the same time pursuing former President Trump on charges involving classified materials.
He vowed to make sure the Biden bribery scandal was not swept under the rug as the Justice Department had hoped.
As such, Grassley revealed in a speech on the Senate floor that the foreign national may have kept 15 audio recordings of conversations they had with Hunter Biden and an additional two recordings of conversations he had with Joe Biden concerning the bribery transactions.
“The 1023 produced to that House Committee redacted reference that the foreign national who allegedly bribed Joe and Hunter Biden allegedly has audio recordings of his conversations with them,” Grassley continued. “17 total recordings.”
“Special Counsel Jack Smith has used a recording against former President Trump. Well, what’s U.S. Attorney Weiss doing with respect to these alleged Joe and Hunter Biden recordings that are apparently relevant to a high-stakes bribery scheme?” https://t.co/YYjoV4LTfH

Biden Bribery Scheme Update: An Insurance Policy Against the Big Guy
House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) has described the FD-1023 informant file as evidence that “then-Vice President Biden engaged in a criminal bribery scheme with a foreign national” to the tune of $5 million.
The bribes allegedly influenced United States policy decisions.
Those lawmakers allowed to read the informant file said it involved the Ukrainian company Burisma, where Hunter served on the board despite having no relevant experience.
President Biden had famously bragged about getting a prosecutor fired for investigating potential corruption at Burisma, something the media has done their best to ignore despite the incident being recorded by C-SPAN of all outlets.
Now, Grassley reveals, that the complaint is so detailed in nature that the person at the center of the scandal was reportedly wise enough to make audio recordings of conversations with the Biden boys.
“These recordings were allegedly kept as a sort of insurance policy for the foreign national in case he got into a tight spot,” claims Grassley.
With such a bombshell revelation, one has to wonder what is hiding in the redacted portions of the file produced by the FBI.

Biden Says It’s a Bunch of Malarkey
President Biden, when confronted about the “damning evidence in the FBI file that (he) sold out the country” by a reporter, laughed and joked that he’d like to know where the money is.
“Where’s the money?” he scoffed. “I’m joking. It’s a bunch of malarkey.”
Reporter: “Bribery allegations. Congresswoman Nancy Mace says there’s damning evidence in an FBI file that you sold out the country. Do you have a response?”

‘Malarkey,’ it isn’t.
Fox News reports that the informant at the heart of the allegations is “highly credible” and has been used by the FBI “in multiple investigative matters dating back to the Obama administration.”
Did the informant personally hear those recordings? Do they have access to them? Does the FBI have access to them and unbelievably sat on them for years?
Grassley accused the FBI of once again not handling the investigations into Trump and Biden with the same fervor, noting that there is an audio recording at the center of the Trump indictment as well, but no comment by the bureau about the potential 17 audio recordings involving the Biden bribery scheme.
“Special Counsel Jack Smith has used a recording against former President Trump. Well, what’s U.S. Attorney Weiss doing with respect to these alleged Joe and Hunter Biden recordings that are apparently relevant to a high-stakes bribery scheme?” asked Grassley.
“Based on the facts known to Congress and the public, it’s clear that the Justice Department and FBI haven’t nearly had the same laser focus on the Biden family,” he added.
In addition to fleshing out the bribery scandal, the informant file also reportedly shows Biden as Vice-President may have been directly involved in Hunter’s hiring at Burisma.
“Two standards of justice in this country will turn our constitutional Republic upside down,” Grassley said in his speech on the Senate floor.
There are two standards of justice at play in this country, and that’s been the case for a long time. The FBI and the Justice Department are at the heart of a concerted effort to tear down our constitutional Republic.
Both entities need to be abolished and rebuilt from the bottom up.
