    Even though all things Biden are moving at a snail’s pace, they are, in fact, moving.

    If this source is credible and the FBI and DOJ did nothing about the information he provided, then that would just add more to the idea that our government is weaponized in one direction and protective in the other.
    …………………..

    The individual behind the information that then-Vice President Joe Biden was involved in a criminal bribery scheme with a foreign national is a "highly credible" FBI confidential human source who has been used by the bureau in multiple investigative matters dating back to the Obama administration, Fox News Digital has learned.

    House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer and GOP Sen. Chuck Grassley were approached by a whistleblower alleging that the FBI was in possession of a document—an FD-1023 form, dated June 30, 2020—which explicitly detailed information provided by a confidential human source alleging Biden, while serving as vice president, was involved in a $5 million criminal bribery scheme with a foreign national in exchange for influence over policy decisions.

    A source familiar told Fox News Digital on Friday that the confidential human source who provided the Biden information to the FBI was a "pre-existing" FBI source who has been used in multiple investigative matters separate from the Biden information.

    The source told Fox News Digital that the confidential human source was used by the FBI for "at least several years" before the generation of the June 2020 FD-1023 form detailing the Biden allegations.

    The source also told Fox News Digital that the confidential human source has been "consistently reviewed by the FBI" and has been "found to be highly credible."

    The source said the individual participated in investigative matters during the Obama administration.

    The whistleblower and the form he submitted are real. Don’t you think going to the FBI and lying about Biden is pretty risky?

    Do you believe the whistleblower who told Schiff about Trump's Ukraine phone call was legit?

    Ah, that sweet sweet anonymous source with evidence that remains undisclosed.


    I smell far right wing conspiracy happy fruitcases being overjoyed with nothing. To end up disappointed that it's again just fake news.

    I believe so. Regardless, he was obviously correct. You are asking if we should believe him . . . and he was proven to be correct . . . so ****ing yes. This ain't rocket surgery.

    well, I don’t believe anything coming out of Schiff’s mouth but I did find all the witnesses, Vidman, Yovanovich etc in the hearings very credible…

    Well, if it was recorded on the US side, that audio has never been released. The "transcript" we all read was a joint recollection effort from those on the call.

    On this topic, I just read this blurb in another link

    SNIP
    Citing anonymous sources, CNN reported Wednesday that the tip came from a batch of material that former Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani obtained from Ukraine and provided to the Justice Department in 2020, noting that the department said at the time that it didn’t take anything from Ukraine at face value.
    ENDSNIP

    More Giuliani BS.... figures...

    Probably Zelensky. But, regardless, the whistleblower was factually correct. Why are you unwilling to discuss facts?

    The facts are there’s a whistleblower and a document in the FBI’s possession alleging Biden took bribes. Are you in or out?

    There's a rumor. So far, nothing more. Even Fox news has called out how flaccid this is. But don't worry, you "got 'em" this time!

    If you are still talking about the Ukraine extortion call, it was Vindman... a Lt. Col in the US Army...

    A more credible whistleblower you will rarely find...

    How do you know this whistleblower isn't factually correct?

    I don't. I just have no reason to think he's an actual "whistleblower" rather than just a rumor monger and I have no evidence he's correct. So I will wait for evidence. Let me know when the far right is capable of speaking in that language, which seems alien to them.

    Vindman said under oath that he wasn't the whistleblower and he didn't know who the whistleblower was.

    I always wait for evidence. I don't ever go with uncorroborated anonymous sources. That's your game. Not mine.

    No, the fact is that there are a few Republicans claiming such things, while providing no evidence.

    Given how often they've said such things before and never provided any evidence, no one with any sense believes they're telling the truth.

    But hey, maybe this time is different from the previous hundred times where the Republicans claimed that Biden/Obama/Clinton/Fauci/Schiff/etc were going to jail. This time, it's totally real!
