The 1023, together with the explosive testimony yesterday of the IRS whistleblowers, allow us to fill in some blanks and add some meat to the timeline of govt corruption as bad or worse than anything this country has seen.

The scheme began in 2014 when Hunter went on the board of Burisma. According to what Zlochevsky told the FBI’s trusted CHS, Zlovesky put Hunter there for protection-not by Hunter, but by VP Joe Biden. The Bidens - both Hunter and Joe- twisted Zlochevsky’s arm in a shakedown.

Zlochevsky got his money’s worth in early 2016, when Joe got the prosecutor investigating Burisma fired by threatening to withhold a $1 billion loan guarantee by the US. Money had flowed to the Biden’s earlier than that- a fact no doubt used by Hillary to induce Joe not to run.

It’s not clear when the FBI and CIA first became aware of the millions of foreign money paid to the Bidens. But if Hillary knew, what are the odds the nation’s spies and LE officials were left in the dark?

During his campaign in 2016, Trump’s campaign came under investigation by the FBI - at the urging, and quite a bit of prodding by Hillary team, in the form of the Steele dossier and phony Alfa Bank hoax.

That investigation continued, without any evidence or legitimate predicate, into Trump’s presidency. The FBI even spied on Congressional staffers who were getting too close to the truth that the investigation was baseless.

Meanwhile, according to the 1023, evidence began trickling into the FBI of the Biden family corruption. A trusted informant got Zlochevsky to talk, explaining in detail what the deal with the Bidens was, the money that was laundered to them, and what Burisma got in return.

When Trump called the president of Ukraine to ask for assistance in investigating what happened in Ukraine with the prosecutor and Joe Biden, Trump was impeached. The 1023s and confidential informant never surfaced. They were buried.

Of course that’s the type of corruption that inevitably becomes fodder for any political opponent, and the 2020 election season was upon us. So what did the FBI do with the evidence? They buried it deeper. And they created an alternate narrative should anything come to light.

The alternate narrative, spread far and wide by the FBI among mainstream media and social media, was that it was all Russian disinformation. The evil Russians were at it again, trying to influence our election.

Of course, to pull off that narrative the 1023s of the CHS could never see the light of day. That included keeping it secret from investigators from another agency- the IRS- who were hot on Hunter’s trail because he didn’t pay taxes on millions of foreign money.

The 1023 was buried, the laptop was buried at first, then treated publicly as Russian disinformation, and all who espoused an alternate version of the facts were censored- with the help of the FBI.

Thanks to Sen Grassley, Sen Johnson, Rep Comer, Rep Jordan, and Rep Smith, we now have a far more complete picture of this sordid scheme.
