FBI Document Indicates Joe Biden Is A Corruptocrat

Joe Biden is a liar. Joe Biden is corrupt. And, Joe Biden is really, really stupid. So, what else is new? Anyone awake since 2020 has already assessed that the man who currently occupies the White House and claims the title of “president” is an imposter — an obvious decrepit who makes everyone nervous when he walks. 

Despite the orthopedic slipper shoes, Biden’s gait is brittle, his diminishing mental capacity reduces the elegant fluidity of ambulation to a painfully mechanical process. He’s a slouching figure who mumbles into his tie, while heads of state stare unbelievingly and grin like sharks.  

We all see it, yet he remains comfortably ensconced behind a usurped Resolute Desk, a gift from Queen Victoria to President Rutherford B. Hayes. Like everything else about the Biden “presidency,” the storied Resolute Desk is made common by his proximity. 

Biden has proven time and again the veracity of the only wise thing to ever escape the lips of Barack Hussein Obama — “don’t underestimate Joe’s ability to [expletive] things up.” Ukraine is a prime example of the perpetual foreign policy neophyte’s failure. Biden signaled weakness  and indecision, so Putin rolled in with tanks and troops. It was a Neville Chamberlain moment which has the world teetering on the edge of WWIII, but this time hydrogen bombs are in play. 

But, I think even Obama is taken aback by the breadth and scope of Joe Biden’s inability to cover up his multitudinous ineptitudes. I don’t believe Obama, or the Democrat party, cares one whit about the existence of wide spread corruption or the regular demonstrations of ineptitude, they’re just bent because so many people know about it. 

And this is where Hunter Biden enters the political shark tank. 

Hunter is, by all accounts, a train wreck of a human. If you can imagine a taboo or indecent act, Hunter has been there, done that, and made a video about it. He may be more of a buffoon than his father. If Burisma CEO Mykola Zlochevsky is to be believed, Hunter isn’t as smart as his dog. I doubt Zlochevsky’s dog appreciates the comparison. Still, a seven figure payout for being dumber than a Russian oligarch’s k-9 is an enviable gig — if you’re connected enough to get it. 

But that’s just it, isn’t it? We all know it. Who, in your circle of family or friends, could swing a preposterous deal like Hunter’s without direct access to something of great value? This isn’t rocket science. Burisma paid Hunter preposterous amounts of money, because “the big guy,” a.k.a Joe Biden (then Vice President) was part and parcel of the deal. The FBI’s recently released FD-1023 anecdotally documents what we all knew to be the truth, through sheer force of common sense. 

Hunter is a force of nature. An F5 cyclone that obliterates everything in its path. But somehow, despite having sex with his dead brother’s wife, huffing mile long lines of coke, and running a non-stop train on countless prostitutes, Hunter manages to bask in the accolades of the inside the beltway glitterati. He’s even managed to become the darling of the gallery class, selling his canvases of spasmodically applied oil paint for up to a quarter of a million dollars. It really sounds more like thinly veiled campaign donations.

Hunter Biden’s laptop has been a treasure trove of, at times comedic, and tragic material. It’s a vast digital record of a broken man’s descent into the seven circles of hell, driven by addictions and seething debauchery.  He’s a resource of second amendment anecdotes, having possessed a pistol, wielded it with reckless abandon, finally tossing it into a dumpster. You’d think Democrats would have lost any stomach for denouncing “gun violence” with the president’s son involved in felonious activity with a handgun. 

All of this is bad. Horribly bad. Space doesn’t allow for a full recounting of the Biden family’s indecencies. We’re getting more and more pieces to the puzzle, drips that portend the end of the establishment’s infliction of a death by a thousand cuts. Soon, the longs knives will be out and the Bidens will end like Caesar, Brutus’ dagger buried in his guts. The part of Brutus may well be played by Michelle Obama, with a 2024 presidential campaign bid.  

The recent release of an FBI FD-1023 document, though in itself anecdotal, is a bombshell. In it, an unnamed Confidential Human Source (CHS) claims to have had several conversations with the CEO of Burisma, Mykola Zlochevsky. Both Hunter and Joe Biden are alleged to have received five million dollars each to provide influence favorable to Burisma. Zlochevsky is said to be in possession of 17 recorded conversations with Hunter and Joe Biden, which directly implicate both of them in influence peddling in Ukraine and abroad. 

The FBI has been criticized for failing to produce the document in a timely manner. Though Senator Grassley was right in publicizing the FD-1023, the exposure may have a chilling effect on other CHS operations. But in this case, the public’s need to know, regarding the scope and seriousness of Biden family corruption, must override other concerns. The document has been redacted where prudent. 

The FD-1023 is a type of FBI document that contains raw reporting, meaning that the information has not been verified. However, the document indicates that the CHS had been reporting since 2017. That’s a strong indication the CHS is considered to be reliable and credible.  

This week, the country will hear from Devon Archer, Hunter Biden’s one-time best friend. Archer claims to be able to verify everything we’ve seen thus far from the FD-1023, and more. As evidence combines in mountainous proportions, the question becomes — what of it all? Former President Donald Trump has a track record of getting things done. I’m hoping it’ll be up to him and his new appointees at DOJ and the FBI to make things right.
