“In theory, both parties compete to make your life better than the other, so you’ll vote for them. In practice, both parties openly oppress and impoverish you while focusing on murdering foreigners, and compete for your vote based on your feelings about made-up wedge issues” – Caitlin Johnstone.
BREAKING: Senator Chuck Grassley released the FD-1023 form, alleging that Mykola Zlochevsky, Burisma’s founder, paid a $5,000,000 bribe each to Vice President Joe Biden and Hunter Biden to have Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin fired.
While certain details from the FBI FD-1023 form related to an alleged $10 million in bribes being paid to Hunter and Joe Biden by Burisma founder Mykola Zlochevsky had already been made public over the last six weeks or so, the forms themselves, released Thursday, provide additional details.
“We believe the FBI possesses an unclassified internal document that includes very serious and detailed allegations implicating the current President of the United States. What we don’t know is what, if anything, the FBI has done to verify these claims or investigate further. The FBI’s recent history of botching politically charged investigations demands close congressional oversight” – Sen. Grassley.
Typical FBI and DOJ shenanigans ensued, with FBI Director Christopher Wray first claiming that the form didn’t exist, then stonewalled, and even refused to schedule a phone call with Grassley and Comer. The subpoena deadline was extended a few times, and on May 31 Wray said he’d allow committee members to view – and not have copies of – the document at a SCIF (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility), even though the document is and has been unclassified.
During the first two weeks of June, as Comer and Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-NY) and then additional committee members viewed the FD-1023 and were briefed by the FBI, details started spilling out: We learned that the foreign national who allegedly bribed Hunter and Joe Biden was the Ukrainian (and corrupt) co-founder of Burisma, Mykola Zlochevsky, that the bribe was $10 million ($5 million for each Biden), that it related to the firing of Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor Shokin, that Zlochevsky said the bank account and paper trail was so complex that it would take 10 years for investigators to unravel it all, and that Zlochevsky retained 17 recordings with Hunter and Joe Biden detailing the deal. We also learned that the CHS was a “highly credible” trusted source who’d been used by the FBI in multiple investigations dating back to the Obama administration and that the allegations in that FD-1023 had nothing to do with anything Rudy Giuliani had put forward in 2020.
From this form we’ve learned:
• The CHS was introduced to Burisma executives by Oleksander Ostapenko in late 2015/early 2016 at an in-person meeting in Ukraine.
• The meeting was attended by Ostapenko, Burisma CFO Vadim Pojarskii, Zlochevsky’s daughter Karina, and Karina’s husband regarding Burisma potentially purchasing a U.S. gas and oil company so they could conduct an IPO in the U.S.
• Per Pojarskii, Burisma “hired” Hunter Biden to “protect us, through his dad, from all kinds or problems.”
• Hunter Biden couldn’t help Burisma with the purchase/merger of a U.S. company because he’s “not smart,” Pojarskii said.
• CHS met with Ostapenko and Mykola Zlochevsky in Vienna, Austria, two months later, around the time Joe Biden publicly stated that Viktor Shokin had a corruption problem.
• When CHS expressed concern about the effect an investigation into Burisma would have on an IPO, Zlochevsky replied, “Don’t worry Hunter will take care of all of those issues through his dad.”
Zlochevsky said that Hunter Biden “was stupid, and his (Zlochevsky’s) dog was smarter,” but that he “needed to keep Hunter Biden (on the board) so everything will be okay.”
• When asked whether Hunter or Joe Biden told Zlochevsky he had to keep Hunter on Burisma’s board, Zlochevsky said, “They both did.”
• After CHS advised Zlochevsky multiple times in that meeting to fire Hunter Biden and deal with Burisma’s issues within Ukraine and not turn it into an international matter, Zlochevsky said “something to the effect of, ‘Don’t worry, this thing will go away anyway’ and that ‘it’s too late to change his decision.’”
• On a conference call after the 2016 election, Zlochevsky said that he didn’t want to pay the Bidens and that he was “pushed to pay them,” using the Russian term “poluchili.”
• In addition to the 17 recordings Zlochevsky possessed, he told the CHS he had multiple text messages detailing the agreement with Hunter and Joe Biden.
• “Zlochevsky asked [CHS] whether it would make any (legal) difference whether he voluntarily made such payments, or if he was forced to make them.”
• CHS had previously reported the information about the conference call, including the discussion about Hunter Biden, in March 2017 to the FBI.
CHS had a meeting with Ostapenko in London in 2019 at a Russian coffee house near Harrods, and the two had a phone call with Zlochevsky from that coffee house. CHS believed Zlochevsky was living somewhere in Europe at that time.
• Zlochevsky stated he has two “documents (which CHS understood to be wire transfer statements, bank records, etc.), that evidence some payment(s) to the Bidens were made, presumably in exchange for Shokin’s firing.
• As of June 2020, Ostapenko worked in some office for the administration of President Zelensky and also worked for Valery Vavilov, who is the founder/CEO of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology business BitFury.

This is no longer the Republic of America.
It is now the Kingdom of Moronica.
Its imperial capital is in a place known as Idiotica.
The Ruler of Moronica who resides in Idiotica, has as his title, the Dope.
Paul Plante says
In additi0n to the Dope, who rules Moronica from Idiotica, Moronica also has a bicameral legislative body.
The upper chamber, which represents the interest of the Lords of Moronica, has members known as Assaholics.
The lower chamber, which represents the commons of Moronica, has members known as the Stupidos.
Together, the Dope, the Assaholics and Stupidos comprise the government of Moronica.

This is a feeble presidency at every level, enveloped in woke left-wing ideology while pursuing short-sighted policies of appeasement towards some of the most wicked regimes on Earth.
The Biden presidency represents American retreat, decline and despair, headed by a president regarded by the enemies of the free world as a soft and easy opponent.

“How can the weary and befuddled people notionally look themselves in the mirror next year and reelect a senescent, sticky-fingered, ill-tempered, spavined, pocket-borough political wheelhorse who in his prime had trouble with the truth, elemental elocution, and complex issues, to four more years as president?”

And going back to the now-famous Biden “face plant” episode at the Air Force Academy, where Joe tripped over a sandbag that was quite visible in the videos of the incident https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGkaft6nS2I
thanks to the Brits at The Daily Mail, we now know that a senior Biden aide told NBC that the sandbag had been camouflaged, making it hard to see, which explains why Joe didn’t see it.
Paul Plante says
I’m thinking this Biden aide who told NBC the plainly visible sandbag Joe Biden tripped at the Air Force Academy over was camouflaged, perhaps in his mind to look like a sleeping cat, or maybe a rhinocerous, is the dude who left his cocaine in the white house, camouflaged to look like a stack of books.

In this video of American dictator Joseph Robinette Biden, Junior meeting with the Italian prime minister, our Joe, who is the leader of the free world and the solar system, as well, is seen leaning over and touching her hand, which she then snatches back as if it got some horrible type of disease germs on it from Joe, not knowing what our Joe might have been touching beforehand, while he whispers something to her, which has engendered a lot of speculation as to whether Joe was asking her if he could smell her hair, or lick her, and either way, the look on her face after makes it clear it was something creepy:
