An interesting series of updates to the FBI whistleblower case of Joe Biden taking a $5 million bribe payment which now looks to have originated in Ukraine.
The background claim is pretty basic. A whistleblower approached congress stating the FBI had a report, an unclassified FD-1023, detailing a conversation with a ‘confidential human source’ (CHS) that outlined Vice President Joe Biden taking a $5 million payment from a foreign national to affect a U.S. policy decision. The FBI agent responsible for investigating the CHS claim was FBI Supervisory Intelligence Analyst Brian Auten, a sketchy character from the Trump-Russia probe.
The investigative events took place in June and July 2020 during the presidential election year. The claim is that FBI Supervisory Intelligence Analyst Auten reportedly buried the CHS allegation saying it could not be corroborated, and then wrote an assessment that it was Russian disinformation. However, the FBI investigative team didn’t see any effort by any FBI member to substantiate it. Hence a whistleblower, with specific knowledge of the details in the allegation, surfaces and tells congress the FBI is hiding the FD-1023 that outlines the confidential human source allegation of bribery.
Congress requested the FD-1023, the FBI refused to provide it. House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer then set a compliance deadline while he coordinated with Senator Chuck Grassley. The FBI still refused to turn it over, saying they would neither confirm nor deny the FD-1023 existence, and said releasing any information like that would potentially compromise Confidential Human Sources (CHS’s). The proverbial sources and methods excuse.
Yesterday, James Comer told FBI Director Chris Wray he would be held in contempt of congress for refusing the provide the letter to oversight.
Today, Christopher Wray admitted the existence of the FD-1023 and told Rep Comer and Senator Grassley he would let them come to FBI headquarters to look at it.
The FBI is still claiming the allegations have no way to be substantiated or corroborated. However, there is a very strong possibility, based on records that Comer and Grassley have received from subpoenas for Biden banking information, the substantiation documents are already in the hands of congress.
WASHINGTON—House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) and Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) today issued the following statements after their discussion with FBI Director Christopher Wray about producing to Congress the unclassified, FBI-generated record alleging a criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Joe Biden and a foreign national.
“Today, FBI Director Wray confirmed the existence of the FD-1023 form alleging then-Vice President Biden engaged in a criminal bribery scheme with a foreign national. However, Director Wray did not commit to producing the documents subpoenaed by the House Oversight Committee. While Director Wray – after a month of refusing to even acknowledge that the form existed – has offered to allow us to see the documents in person at FBI headquarters, we have been clear that anything short of producing these documents to the House Oversight Committee is not in compliance with the subpoena. If the FBI fails to hand over the FD-1023 form as required by the subpoena, the House Oversight Committee will begin contempt of Congress proceedings,” said Chairman Comer.
“While the FBI has apparently leaked classified information to the news media in recent weeks, jeopardizing its own human sources, it continues to treat Congress like second class citizens by refusing to provide a specific unclassified record. Director Wray confirmed what my whistleblowers have told me pursuant to legally protected disclosures: the FBI-generated document is real, but the bureau has yet to provide it to Congress in defiance of a legitimate congressional subpoena. This failure comes with consequences,” Senator Grassley said. (read more)
But yet they leak anything and everything about
President Trump..
Well, that’s different. /s
Well as Comey is saying, Trump is an existential threat, to the Deep State that is.
They leak lies.
Ha! Yeah…fake leaks.
The standard is there is not standard. What goes around, comes around.
Anything and nothing.
Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
All power-grubbing politicians seek to stay in power through control, not selfless service of those they govern. There is always the stark contrast between what they say and what they do.
Selfless service wedded with authority involves loving sacrifice. Authority without sacrificial love is brutish and self-serving.
Let’s hope this isn’t a wild goose chase..
Well, either Biden (or his family) received $5 million from a foreign source or he didn’t. Seems that a wire transfer or payment would have to be deposited into a bank or brokerage account. The Federal Reserve has a record of every wire transfer especially from foreign sources and the Citibank Wire Room in Long Island City processes them. It really isn’t that hard to track down and verify. Things like that are what the FBI does for a living!
Unless they are ordered not to.
Or unless it goes to a Cayman Islands bank account.
or into an LLC account under a different name.
If the FBI knows the source or the particulars (date, amount, remitter etc) they would be able to trace the wire regardless of the destination even to the Cayman Islands or LLC account.
Flown in to Bidinh compounds … like pallets of cash flown into Iran. If Obama can airlift cash to the Ayatollah … he can drop ship a few $million to the Bidinh crime family
Large amounts of cash are not all that easy to dispose of, unless, of course, the powers that be are told to turn a blind eye.
Yes, and thats what the “suspiscious activity reports” that CONgress has, show.
So, CONgress has the confirmation that Auten said doesn’t exist.
There are ways to make tracking the flow of money very difficult, and one would think those involved are clued up about them. Nevertheless…yes, the funds should be traceable. I would be surprised the money was sent in only one transfer to one source, though. How dumb would that be?
Or #PedoPeter has a nice little box of diamonds in his safe.
If it was exculpatory the FBI would release it therefore it isn’t. So simple.
It WILL BE exculpatory when they release it. It will not be the original document that is released.
Clinesmith is working up the official version now.
ROFL
The boy who cried, “Wolf, wolf!” – If the FBI had been more honest in the past, I’d be more likely to accept their “sources and methods” reason for not releasing the FD-1023 form.
Why even have CHSs if you can’t use any of their info because, meh, national security. They don’t even try to make their lies sound reasonable.
Mims,
Conflating two different excuses, I think.
Natl. security is one.
Exposing a CI, is anothet.
They did NOT Classify the document, that seems to have been confirmed.
WHY didn’t they?
“if the FBI had been more honest in the past” makes me think of Louis Freeh’s letter to hunter saying he could be of help and give his best to joe. maybe somebody can bring up that letter.
Well, Freeh did give Biden’s grandkids $100k for their trust account. Needed a cover letter with the check.

Interesting if it is Ukraine. Trump was impeached for caling Ukraine about Biden corruption. Turns out he was spot on. There needed to be an investigation.
Let’s just use Occam’s Razor and build some gallows….
And if we add in Franklin Templeton via Ukraine, we might be able to catch 99% of the Senate and most of the House.
Hi Adam!
https://www.libertynation.com/ukraine-officials-allege-major-corruption-scandal-with-dnc-linked-company/
The Trump fake-peachment was always about covering up Biden Family criminal enterprises in Ukraine…as well as the various Government Party money laundering operations run out of CIA and State Dept.
it’s all kabuki theater…
This stuff is easy to see now. Should be a degree program on deep state fundamentals in college.
I would love to see that douche try and run. Don’t forget he already suffered from and and is likely still working to recover from his bell’s palsy post vaccination. One can only hope he’s gotten further boosters since then…
Guy behind him looks like he is thinking about renting a u-haul, and wondering where he can get a nazi flag.
Lol
Christopher Wray bears an uncanny resemblance to Cliff Barnes. Can it be so?
From Dallas? Yessssss!!!!
Pam’s brother?
😂🤣👍
Wray and FBI in general – POS!
Call me when he gets perp-walked.
Yep. So I’m just gonna keep on living my best life.
And that’s getting increasingly difficult to do.
… To the gallows.
Subverting evidence of treason is treason.
and yet absolutely nothing will happen to anyone. wash, rinse, repeat!!
“Things” keep working, right up until they don’t.
“Things” like stonewalling, investigate to exhonerate, limited hang outs, etc. just like light bulbs, will keep working (for THEM) right up until they don’t.
It’s like lies for a liar. Lie often enough and it quits benefiting the liar because nobody believes them.
I think we are THERE with the GOP at this point, every single time they have the goods, they spill them.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the Whistleblower made a copy.
This is last opportunity for DOJ to demonstrate that no one is above the law.
That is what they have to fear the most…a good lawyer always know the answer to the question and never asks about a document unless they already have a copy!
I watched one show this morning, can’t remember which one, that said Rep Comer has already seen the item. He knows what it says. Sorry that I can’t remember what show it was on. Maybe Varney?
Eric Holder is saying “Ditto”.
Let’s have McCarthy sit down with Biden and negotiate terms of repayment of the $5m, in payments, over 10 years, starting in January 2025. Ways and Means will confirm the deal and Joe gets to keep his job. All of this in the spirit of protecting sources, avoiding a crisis, whatever.
Repayment on prison wages – that should be about 100 years of time for jo-biden.
Heard around the FBI water cooler, “It’s like an insurance policy in the unlikely event that Joe lives to be 90.”
Is Strzok back at the FIB issuing insurance policies again???
makes one think they are close to placing Joe in the ejection seat.
not that it means much..
Or that he might notice. “Sit here Joe, yes hold the ice cream cone while the nice man straps you in. Why yes you you are going somewhere, hold on tight!”
Make it pay per view please.
What will be done … jack shit
So many people have done so many thing over so mush time that it seems to me the best answer is to hang them all…. Blackstones law-It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer is outdated and “they” know it. I would rather see every single one of them swing and left to rot in the wind if only for the fact that the next person to take there place would know “this is what happens when you don’t keep the oath you gave to the people “
I remember pics from my grade school history book, of several men and one women, hanging from the gallows .
They were hung following Abes assasination, made an impression on me.
I later committed LOTS of crimes, but NEVER contemplated assasinating a POTUS.
*well put
*the GOP controls the house
*vote every one of those them OUT
Well, remove every one of them from Congress, certainly.
yep
Contempt of Congress sure another AG gave you the middle finger and nothing happened. Nothing happens unless arrested and moved to Gitmo or a black site run by patriots. Firing squad for treason is a better action not threat.
BFD
Now !that we know that most of House Pubs are really Commie Fellow Travelers, does it really matter? the Hunter thing is just Kabuki Theatre. Nothing will come of it.
Best bend over, the Commie Dems and their fellow traveling RINO friends are going to shove their Totalitarian Police State up your backside in short order.
Is this the big “fall” that they will use to take him out? He is so corrupt and there are so many traitorous things he has done to our country it must have been hard for them to settle on just one. Could this be it or do we continue with this game?
Color me skeptical, but they have had over 30 days to potentially alter that document.
If they did, then that would be their Watergate moment. It is very likely that Comer already has a copy of the document which the Whistleblower provided. So redactions aren’t going to help the FBI either.
There is a reason why the FIB use pencils to fill in their paper FD-1023 forms.
Actually, its all digitalised, like ballots.
Tara Reade has defected to Russia. She claims she no longer feels safe in the U.S. after publicly accusing Biden of sexually assaulting her.
At a press conference in Russia with Maria Butina, former Russian spook, (who was arrested after infiltrating the NRA).
Butina was released from prison and is currently working in Russia’s Parliament.
https://twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1nAJErZakvoxL
Maria Butina also had a relationship with Patrick Byrne.
FBLie covered up Clinton’s felonies, and now Joementia’s. When do we raze the FBLie building, and cover it up with a parking lot?
The Durham Report has breathed new life into the Clinton Foundation investigation.
U.S. Tax Court Judge David Gustafson denied an IRS request to dismiss the whistleblower case, first brought in 2017.
Three years ago, he ordered the tax agency to reveal whether it criminally investigated the foundation, citing a mysterious “gap” in its records.
The IRS filed a new motion to dismiss, and all parties filed arguments over the last year.
But on Monday, Gustafson postponed ruling on those motions, instead asking for new arguments in light of three recent precedent-setting court rulings, once again frustrating IRS efforts to make the case go away.
Ortel already investigated the CF, all the FBI had to do, was read the book.
These people live in their own fantasyland workshop, each one playing out a character of their choice, while their audience looks on in dismay. They believe nothing, they do nothing, they say nothing, they see nothing, and hear nothing. Like actors in a silent movie with no subtitles.
There are five groups that have ALL the dirt on the Biden’s.
China
Russia
Ukraine
FBI
Clintons
Add UK, NZ, AUS, CAN, Israel & Trump
Um, let’s not forget Obama. Joe was his Impeachment Insurance.
Then we, The people of the USA , need to send an open letter in all of our dirt bag Pravda papers demanding them to spill the beans.
BTW, didn’t PDJT already ask Russia to release HRC’s emails?
What if we ask a few more favors before the natives get REALLY RESTLESS?
Wink.
Possibly someone in Ukraine giving Biden $5 million for a policy decision that Biden agrees to. Makes one think maybe that might be the reason Biden wanted a proxy war, has done nothing to curtail it and why he can’t stop sending Ukraine 10’s if not 100’s of billions of dollars because he would be outed and is compromised. Unfortunately we will likely never find out. Wray will not cave and it will be slow walked through the court system for the remainder of Biden’s term or life, whichever expires first. Separation of powers only works for dems.
No.
The seizure of Ukraine has been in the works for over a decade, with direct involvement of European NATO members. If anything., the grift of Biden and others is just an opportunistic byproduct of this project, not its cause.
Admits the oversight whistleblower does EXIST? But what are you going to do about it Wray??? The Democrats are totally totally corrupt.
Ewwww….
this is getting good….
the ship is sinking and….
the rats are in the water….!!!!
FJB! Let’s impeach the b**tard on GPs for lying to the citizens of the United States.
It has to be done. This is the only way to prosecute him. Next up, Kamala.
How is it even possible that we have a President who has demonstrably committed treason and sold us out to our enemies?
Maybe his own DemonRats are planning to take him out.
We are being ruled by a demonocracy.
and obama was not a natural born American. how did that come about? and he was only half black.
They don’t want to fall with him. It took a corrupt democatic village for biden to have done this all these years.
The Democrats really want the walking mummy to be re-elected. Why else would they threaten Tara Reade whom Biden sexually assaulted, when she is supposed to testify to Congress???
So she has defected to Russia!
Former Biden Accuser Tara Reade Defects to Russia
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2023/05/30/former-biden-accuser-tara-reade-defects-to-russia/
House Republicans had hoped to have Tara Reade testify in Congress. Earlier this month, she issued a cryptic statement saying her life could be in danger.
“I want to make something clear. If something happens to me, all roads lead to Joe Biden,” Reade wrote . “Joe Biden and DNC political machine threats, bullying and intimidation over the last three years will not work.”
“I am not suicidal,” she added.
Tara can testify from Russia.
Is it accurate to call leaving the country to avoid assassination “defection”?
It sounds like more like seeking asylum to me.
Everything is about perception….
Snowden went to Russia to escape false imprisonment just as Assange should have done. Tara Reade called bs on Joe Biden and DNC political machine threats, bullying and intimidation.
Ghislane Maxwell is having a “Doh!,..WHY didn’t I think of that!” moment.
Snowden, noe Tara. A few more they can start a club, have jackets made. “The whistleblowers that defected, so they wouldn’t be suicided” club.
So the POS Comer continues the charade of holding Biden accountable.
The same day he single-handedly allowed the Biden budget bill out of the House rules committee. No budget cap on whatever the Kenyan wants to push thru with his sock puppet.
It’s going to be another ugly couple of years… buckle up. I’ll be shocked if we don’t see another major manufactured “national emergency”.
Republicans Cry Foul as Biden DOJ Targets West Virginia Governor’s Family
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2023/05/31/republicans-cry-foul-as-biden-doj-targets-west-virginia-governors-family/
The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) was among the first to accuse the Biden DOJ of sheer abuse of power, connecting the announcement to Justice’s recent candidacy for Senate.
“Joe Biden’s Department of Justice has gone totally rogue. Democrats weaponizing the federal government to attack the family of a Republican Senate candidate is a complete abuse of power,” NRSC spokesman Tate Mitchell stated:
If they would do it to a former President and candidate for re-election to that office, why would anyone be surprised at this? Par for the course in an administration as corrupt as this one.
They want to destroy Trump: at that point, the DS will be able to run amok, Orwell-Style. There will be no top-down resistance, only scattered pockets of smashable opposition.
Preserve The Wetlands
Comey acknowledges that the FBI made some mistakes by “not communicating the status of certain sources” (Like the fact that HIllary Clinton paid for the Steele Dossier and they all knew it was fake) clearly but they won’t do it again so everything is fine now.
Comey says that two doors lead to hell but they chose the least painful one before the 2016 election as he doesn’t regret swaying public opinion before the election for Trump.
WATCH
https://streamable.com/w5mi3f
James Comey on Donald Trump 2024:
“I think he poses a near existential threat to the rule of law. He will do everything he can in a new term to try to tear down the institutions that he sees as threats and dismantle them and the people who occupy them.”
Exactly. It’s called draining the swamp, Jim.
WATCH:
https://streamable.com/gkmr6d
So, THEY know thats his intention, and THEY seem to think he will be able to DO it, if he gets in again.
Thats actually good to know, thanks Jim.
Donald Trump did so much for America under torturous circumstances which he is still enduring. Stirring up and exposing the stinking filthy swamp filled with the worst crap imaginable might just rank close to the top as the best thing ,providing he can somehow regain office. Comey’s hell still awaits.
Gone by Thursday morning.
No, Bongiano (sp?) is talking about it right now on AM radio. (12:30 AST)
I could be wrong but the war in the Ukraine, all the death and destruction/billions of $$$$ wasted looks like a massive diversion to distract from creepy Joes criminal activity. I hope I’m wrong.
This could be a reason that diplomacy to settle the dispute was never seriously used.
Supported by the Pubs because they can get their grift on with the MIC.
Those who hold the dirt on O-bidens creepy criminal activity have called in all bets. The exfiltration of American wealth to Ukraine is O-biden paying off those who hold the dirt. Isn’t it obvious?
And to hide our bio-labs.
What you should be saying is I hope I am right
“I hope I’m wrong.”
Destroy evidence of the multiple corporations that funnel the monies to Biden Crime Inc.- and also their are those US bio-weapons labs out there.
The repubs are stunned because they might have to do something.
Quick! Pass the debt ceiling bill!
The House just did.
Actually Wray knows there hasn’t been for years and won’t be any consequences from a neutered and compromised legislative body.
Send in the U.S. Marshals.
Fire all FBI immediately. Confiscate all records including Seth Rich’s laptop, Weiner’s laptop, Hunter’s laptop, and the U.S. Capitol video surveilance from J6. Make them all public.
Try FBI for collusion.
OK, so if Brian Auten was grabbed and interrogated, we can get to the truth..
ROFL HAHAHA
Chas said nothing about WHO would be grabbing and interrogating..
Looks like the battle between Dr. Bill and the Obama faction is heating up…she wants to remain FLOTUS but her demented, pervert of a husband has now outlived his usefulness and TPTB want him gone!
Wray needs to be held in contempt. No ifs ands or buts. Anything less and Comer needs a primary removal candidate. I’m tired and bored already.. it’s all kayfabe. “Produce results or get primaried” should be our motto going forward.
Any day now Comer will write another strongly worded letter.
Yeah Biden gets 5 Million from Ukraine then gives Ukraine all our taxpayer money!
Okay, Comer has gotten this far. Wray has decided that he isn’t going to simply deny the document exists and let Comer run to the media and say “we’d get him but for that meddling FBI!”. I mean, Comer would be okay with that, he can fund raise and this whole thing gets covered up. So what’s Comer going to do now? Remember, chaff and countermeasures, it’s in everyone’s’ interest this gets buried. If he has the corroborating documents like SD speculates, how does he bury this?
If you can predict how he’ll bury this, can you force his hand?
Before the FBI existed, the Speaker would (after contempt charges were brought), would instruct the Sgt at Arms of the house to take 50 men to Wray’s house, arrest him, and keep him in jail until he complies.
I suppose we could do that now.
do not give a darn. I’m a voting democrat. I have gave time and effort to support republicans for over 60 years, all done being a sucker. republicans don’t deserve to take a breath. All elected republicans need to die a brutal death. SOON.
Huh?
Have the AI bots had a glitch? Are the shills at Media Matters and Shareblue having a strike by posting wacky progressive/conservative nonsense????
Quite humourous.
Carry on. Nobody knows what you are trying to get at.
Just blow it wide open on Joe Biden’s grift. Let citizens know the truth on this one disgusting old pol.
Send him to the garbage heap of has-been history and let us get one good bit of satisfaction before everything collapses.
Maybe we see some fortune and dementia Joey rats on others on his way out.
I can only hope.
