00:00:06.100
It is Verdict with Senator Ted Cruz, Ben Ferguson with you.
00:00:09.160
And we have got a lot to cover on this episode.
00:00:12.340
On top of the fact that there is more breaking news coming out of the Biden crime family.
00:00:16.660
But we have a new FD1023 form that is alleging that the then Vice President Joe Biden was
00:00:24.080
involved in a $5 million bribery scheme with Burisma, Executive.
00:00:28.640
It's now been released by Senator Chuck Grassley.
00:00:32.920
Plus, we also have some new breaking news that deals with corruption with the President's
00:00:45.460
This comes on the heel of our two-part series that we did that went viral last week with
00:00:51.400
And thank you for everybody that shared this on social media.
00:00:53.880
It was in the top of the charts, both episodes at the same time, in the top 50 on Apple because
00:01:00.320
of great patriots like all of you that are listening that shared this on social media.
00:01:04.400
If you missed it, go back and listen to it because it was being downloaded by a lot of
00:01:11.580
People that may not have followed this story from the very beginning, Senator.
00:01:17.420
Explain what this is and why this is so significant that Chuck Grassley has put it out.
00:01:21.920
Well, let me first underscore what you just said about Thursday and Friday's episodes
00:01:28.360
What we did Thursday and Friday was a two-part series where we did an exclusive interview
00:01:32.840
with James Comer, the chairman of the House Oversight Committee.
00:01:36.580
And he came immediately after an entire day of conducting hearings with the two IRS whistleblowers.
00:01:46.760
And listen, anywhere else you get news about what's going on, you get it in a snippet.
00:01:58.240
You know, you go on with Sean, you get maybe six or eight minutes.
00:02:01.700
We sat down with James for an hour, walking through in detail.
00:02:11.480
And it is for anyone that really wants to know what's the state of play in the evidence
00:02:17.680
that has amassed against Joe Biden, against Hunter Biden, against Merrick Garland.
00:02:22.420
Listen to Thursday and Friday's podcast, that two-part series.
00:02:26.380
It was designed to really encapsulate all of it.
00:02:29.920
Today's podcast follows up on that with another major development that occurred late last week,
00:02:35.420
which is late last week, Chuck Grassley and Chairman Comer together, released the FD-1023.
00:02:45.160
That is the report the FBI made when a confidential human source made serious allegations of bribery
00:02:52.260
against Joe Biden from when he was the sitting vice president of the United States.
00:02:58.100
And you'll recall, I asked the deputy director of the FBI under oath, do you have the FD-1023?
00:03:09.560
Well, Grassley and Comer, they had a copy of it, and they essentially said, to hell with it.
00:03:16.600
I'm going to encourage everyone, go and read it.
00:03:19.600
And when you read it, if you're not horrified, if you're not immediately asking, why didn't
00:03:28.200
the FBI seriously, thoroughly investigate this?
00:03:31.580
If you're not asking, why didn't this lead the six o'clock news on every station, then
00:03:39.900
So I think what is valuable for this podcast to do is for us to walk through what the document
00:03:46.420
So as a document from the FBI, it says unclassified at the top of it.
00:03:50.640
And yet the FBI wanted to keep it secret, even though it was never classified.
00:03:55.260
An FD-1023 is a report from a confidential human source.
00:04:00.740
And it says at the top that it's a telephonic meeting that occurred on June 30th, 2020.
00:04:12.820
The confidential human source reported the following.
00:04:16.420
The first meeting with Burisma executives in Kiev, Ukraine in 2015 or 2016.
00:04:22.580
In late 2015 or 2016, during the Obama-Biden administration, the confidential human source
00:04:28.220
was first introduced to officials at Ukraine natural gas business Burisma Holdings.
00:04:38.020
Confidential human source and Ostapenko traveled to Ukraine and went to Burisma's office that was
00:04:46.300
The purpose of the meeting was to discuss Burisma's interest in purchasing a U.S.-based oil and gas
00:04:51.700
business for purposes of merging it with Burisma for purposes of conducting an IPO in the U.S.
00:04:58.740
Burisma was willing to purchase a U.S.-based entity for $20 to $30 million.
00:05:03.400
At this meeting was the confidential human source, the confidential human source's business partner,
00:05:10.560
and there's a little bit redacted, Ostapenko, Burisma's CFO, Vadim Horjarski, a little bit more
00:05:21.180
is blocked out, and then Karina Zlochevsky, who's the daughter of Burisma's CEO and founder,
0.85
00:05:33.680
During the meeting, Pojarski asked the confidential human source whether the confidential human source
00:05:44.280
And Pojarski advised that the board members included, number one, the former president or
00:05:50.840
prime minister of Poland, and number two, Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden.
00:05:57.140
Pojarski said that Burisma hired the former president or prime minister of Poland to leverage
00:06:02.280
his contacts in Europe for prospective oil and gas deals.
00:06:08.640
protect us through his dad from all kinds of problems.
00:06:16.400
The confidential human source asked why they, Burisma, needed to get the confidential human
00:06:21.320
sources assistance regarding the purchase merger of a U.S.-based company when Biden was on their
00:06:28.400
Pojarski replied that Hunter Biden was not smart and they wanted to get additional counsel.
00:06:37.460
The group then had a general conversation about whether the purchase merger with a U.S.
00:06:49.960
Let's just let's just dissect that for a second, Senator.
00:06:53.140
You you basically have a confidential source saying here they're doing a massive deal.
00:06:59.140
The only thing that would involve the Biden crime family is influence peddling.
00:07:07.020
And you have this confidential source of saying, yeah, this is what they did.
00:07:13.700
They needed they need somebody to help them make this happen.
00:07:16.340
They had political clout and cover and it could make things happen and move things and get
00:07:32.760
They hired Hunter Biden to, quote, protect us through his dad.
00:07:44.480
That quote, if accurate, is what Hunter was selling is favors from daddy who was the sitting
00:07:54.940
You are not allowed to sell for profit favors from a sitting government official.
00:08:05.420
But but but it actually astonishingly gets worse.
00:08:07.680
So it goes on from there, says meeting with confidential human source, Ostopenko and Michael
00:08:14.260
Zlochevsky in Vienna, Vienna, Austria in 2016, approximately one or two months after the
00:08:20.700
aforementioned Burisma meeting in Ukraine, the confidential human source traveled to Vienna,
00:08:25.280
Austria with Ostopenko and met with Michael Zlochevsky at an outside coffee shop.
00:08:31.040
The trio continue to talk about the feasibility of Burisma acquiring a U.S.-based entity.
00:08:36.000
The confidential human source recalled this meeting took place around the time Joe Biden made
00:08:42.100
a statement, a public statement about former Ukraine prosecutor general Victor Shokin being
00:08:49.140
corrupt and that he should be fired, slashed, removed from office.
00:08:54.320
The confidential human source told Zlochevsky that due to Shokin's investigation into Burisma,
00:09:01.320
which was made public at this time, it would have a substantial negative effect on Burisma's
00:09:12.060
Zlochevsky replied something to the effect of, quote, don't worry.
00:09:18.060
Hunter will take care of all of those issues through his dad.
00:09:29.060
Confidential human source did not ask any further questions about what that specifically meant.
00:09:34.280
Confidential human source asked Zlochevsky why Burisma would pay 20 to 30 million dollars
00:09:39.640
to buy a U.S. company for IPO purposes when it would be cheaper to just form a new U.S.
00:09:44.860
entity or purchase a corporate shell that was already listed on an exchange.
00:09:49.180
Zlochevsky responded that Hunter Biden advised Burisma that it could raise much more capital
00:09:55.740
if Burisma purchased a larger U.S.-based business that already had a history in the U.S. oil
00:10:04.720
The confidential human source recalled Zlochevsky mentioned some U.S.-based gas businesses in
00:10:10.400
Texas, the names of which the confidential human source did not recall.
00:10:14.320
Zlochevsky mentioned the confidential human source advised Zlochevsky it would be problematic
00:10:24.100
to raise capital in the U.S. given Shokin's investigation into Burisma as nobody in the U.S.
00:10:31.560
would invest in a company that was the subject of a criminal investigation.
00:10:36.200
The confidential human source suggested it would be best if Burisma simply litigate the matter
00:10:46.360
Zlochevsky said he, Burisma, would likely lose the trial because he could not show that Burisma
00:10:55.860
Zlochevsky also laughed at the confidential human source's number of $50,000, not because of the
00:11:04.240
small amount, but because the number contained a five, and said that, quote, it cost $5 million
00:11:14.160
to pay one Biden and $5 million to another Biden.
00:11:22.720
What this man is saying is, I straight up bribed the then Vice President of the United States
00:11:29.800
of America with $10 million that went into his family business that doesn't exist without
00:11:35.120
him and his position of power and laughed about the idea of paying $50,000 to a lawyer, but
00:11:43.260
it's normal to pay $10 million to the Biden family members to protect your interests.
00:11:53.140
Now, to be clear, in Ukraine and sadly in many of the former Soviet republics, bribery is a
00:12:07.780
That's how oligarchs get rich, is they bribe public officials.
1.00
00:12:10.960
The U.S. vice president, who is right now the sitting president of the United States,
00:12:16.120
is not supposed to be a corrupt Russian or Ukrainian oligarch.
00:12:21.140
Now, going back to the FD-1023, the confidential human source noted that at this time, it was
00:12:27.280
unclear to the confidential human source whether these alleged payments were already made.
00:12:32.700
The confidential human source told Zlochevsky that any such payments to the Bidens would
00:12:39.260
complicate matters, there's some understatement, and Burisma should hire, quote, some normal
00:12:46.560
U.S. oil and gas advisors because the Bidens have no experience with that business sector.
0.99
00:12:53.280
Zlochevsky made some comments that although Hunter Biden, quote, was stupid and his, Zlochevsky's
1.00
00:13:07.540
Zlochevsky needed to keep Hunter Biden on the board, quote, so everything will be okay.
1.00
00:13:14.180
So to be clear, they're admitting that Hunter Biden is dumb as a dog, and he's just the guy
0.99
00:13:23.280
And it's Joe Biden that, keep your eye on the ball here, that's the guy we're really hiring.
0.91
00:13:27.980
Hunter Biden is useless, gives him nothing on the board, gives him nothing as advice, doesn't
0.98
00:13:35.060
know the language, doesn't know the industry, and a dog can help them more.
0.99
00:13:39.240
Yet, it's because of his father that they pay the money and funnel it through to the Biden
00:13:47.620
Now, before I get into any more of this, I want to tell you about our friends at Chalk.

00:15:02.720
Now, Senator, let's get back to this, again.
1.00
00:15:05.820
Hunter Biden, they're saying, is an idiot.
1.00
00:15:08.420
There's dogs that are more useful than he is when it comes to IQ.
1.00
00:15:12.320
Yet, we got to give $10 million to Biden crime family.
00:15:24.040
We don't know if the confidential human source is telling the truth.
00:15:36.280
I don't know if that is because of daddy or not.
00:15:38.960
But I'm simply reading what the FBI form says, the confidential human source says that
00:15:50.400
But I'll tell you, every paragraph contains bombshells.
00:15:55.040
The next sentence, the confidential human source inquired whether Hunter Biden or Joe Biden
00:16:13.340
That's a straight up allegation that Joe Biden told this Ukrainian oligarch, hire my son and
00:16:21.460
Presumably, if you want favors from me, the vice president.
00:16:25.860
The confidential human source reiterated his opinion that Slochevsky was making a mistake
00:16:31.480
and that he should fire Hunter Biden and deal with Shokin's investigation directly so that
00:16:35.960
the matter will remain an issue in Ukraine and not turn into some international matter.
00:16:41.820
Slochevsky responded something to the effect of.
00:16:49.500
The confidential human source replied that notwithstanding Shokin's investigation, it was
00:16:54.580
still a bad decision for Burisma to spend 20 to 30 million dollars to buy a U.S.
00:16:59.400
business and that the confidential human source didn't want to be involved with the Biden
00:17:04.640
Slochevsky responded that he appreciated the confidential human source's advice, but that,
00:17:14.080
The confidential human source understood this to mean that Slochevsky had already paid the
00:17:20.780
Bidens, presumably to, quote, deal with Shokin.

00:17:53.880
Listen to the Honest Talk podcast on iHeartRadio or wherever you listen to your podcasts.
00:18:01.460
And I understand you said earlier these are allegations, and that's a fair point.
0.73
00:18:05.160
I think it's a great point that we should highlight.
00:18:07.240
But let's look also, Senator, at the evidence for a second.
00:18:10.540
We know from suspicious activity reports, yes or no, that $10 million came to the Bidens.
00:18:17.220
And we know that the president of the United States of America is on tape saying that he
00:18:23.720
got the prosecutor fired in Ukraine that that was going to go after the corruption within
00:18:32.420
And he bragged about holding up U.S. dollars, a billion dollars to get him fired.
00:18:39.160
Yes, and to go back, to remember the first Trump impeachment, you remember the phrase
00:18:46.440
Quid pro quo is a Latin phrase that means this for that.
00:18:50.420
And it's right at the heart of an allegation for bribery.
00:18:54.020
The this for that, the this is some form of official favor.
00:19:00.120
However, in this instance, there is no disputing that Joe Biden committed the quid, which is
00:19:07.820
that he went to Ukraine, that he threatened to withhold a billion dollars in American military
00:19:13.240
aid unless the Ukrainian president fired Viktor Shokin, the same guy that this FD 1023 is
00:19:20.640
We know that Joe Biden said fire Shokin or else you're not getting the money.
00:19:26.000
And we know this because Joe Biden has confessed this in an interview with the Atlantic Council
00:19:43.720
That he as vice president of the United States got Viktor Shokin fired.
00:19:51.240
I was not I, but it just happened to be that was the assignment I got.
00:19:57.700
And so I got Ukraine and I remember going over convincing our team or others to convincing
00:20:06.600
us that we should be providing for loan guarantees.
00:20:10.060
And I went over, I guess, the 12th, 13th time to Kiev.
00:20:14.540
And and I was going supposed to announce that there was another billion dollar loan guarantee.
00:20:20.320
And I had gotten a commitment from Poroshenko and from Yatsenyuk that they would take action
00:20:29.660
So they said they had they were walking out to the press conference and I said, I'm not
00:20:33.000
going to we're not going to give you the billion dollars.
00:20:40.500
I said, I'm telling you, you're not getting a billion dollars.
00:20:50.140
If the prosecutor is not fired, you're not getting the money.
1.00
00:21:04.520
There is zero dispute that Joe Biden directly used his position as vice president to get
00:21:11.440
Victor Shokin fired, the prosecutor who was investigating Burisma.
00:21:16.600
The only question is, was the quid for the quo, for the 10 million dollars?
00:21:23.280
So if it is the case that the oligarch who owned Burisma paid Joe Biden and Hunter Biden
00:21:30.880
10 million dollars for that official act, then both are guilty of bribery, a felon, and
00:21:39.840
The only thing that is in question is, did Burisma pay for the quo that Joe Biden indisputedly
00:21:52.200
Now, you look at this document now, and again, if there wasn't so much supporting evidence,
00:21:59.540
you might just say, all right, well, this is just some random person making accusations.
00:22:04.480
But when you piece it all together now from what we have from suspicious activity reports,
00:22:09.040
what we have from whistleblowers, Senator, what we have from now the president and his
00:22:13.500
own admission, and now that we know the money came to the bank accounts and then was dispersed
00:22:18.000
to the Biden family, this may be the most damning connections that we've had, basically putting
00:22:38.260
Ask yourself, have you heard any of what I'm telling you now?
00:22:43.840
And if you haven't, look, you ought to be pissed off.
00:22:53.240
And every fake journalist that runs around who's not talking about it is not talking about
00:23:01.060
Yeah, they don't want to, you know, they don't want to cover it.
00:23:03.000
If they're not covering it, that means it doesn't happen, apparently.
00:23:05.500
And this is exactly why it was so important last week that both those episodes with James
00:23:11.280
So many of you patriots shared it because this is where we say, here's the info.

00:25:27.200
Subsequent Telephone Calls Between Confidential Human Source and Zlochevsky.
00:25:36.440
Shortly after the 2016 U.S. election and during President Trump's transition period,
00:25:43.360
the Confidential Human Source participated in a conference call with Ostapenko and Zlochevsky.
00:25:48.520
The Confidential Human Source inquired whether Zlochevsky was happy with the U.S. election results.
00:25:54.940
Zlochevsky replied that he was not happy Trump won the election.
00:26:00.860
The Confidential Human Source asked Zlochevsky whether he was concerned about Burisma's involvement with the Bidens.
00:26:09.500
Zlochevsky stated that he didn't want to pay the Bidens and he was, quote, pushed to pay them.
00:26:16.600
The Confidential Human Source explained the Russian term Zlochevsky used to explain the payments was poluchili,
00:26:29.080
which literally translates to got it or received it,
00:26:35.900
but is also used in Russian criminal slang for being forced or coerced to pay.
00:26:43.660
Zlochevsky stated Shokin had already been fired and no investigation was currently going on
00:26:52.640
and that nobody would find out about his financial dealings with the Bidens.
00:26:58.720
The Confidential Human Source then stated, quote,
00:27:01.540
I hope you have some backup proof for your words, namely that Zlochevsky was, quote,
00:27:11.700
Zlochevsky replied that he has many text messages and, quote,
00:27:17.760
recordings that could show that he was forced to make such payments.
00:27:24.020
The Confidential Human Source told Zlochevsky he should make certain that he should retain those recordings.
00:27:33.160
Zlochevsky asked whether it would make any legal difference whether he voluntarily made such payments
00:27:42.880
Zlochevsky then asked the Confidential Human Source whether he could provide any assistance in Ukraine
00:27:48.220
with the Poroshenko regime if something were to happen to Zlochevsky in the future.
00:27:54.200
The Confidential Human Source replied that the Confidential Human Source
0.89
00:27:57.320
didn't want to get involved in any such matters.
00:28:00.600
Note, see the previous Confidential Human Source report dated March 1st, 2017.
00:28:09.260
We're in the Confidential Human Source reported the foregoing and stated the call took place
00:28:18.860
At that time, the Confidential Human Source stated that Zlochevsky briefly discussed Hunter Biden,
00:28:24.860
but the topic was not relevant to Burisma's interest in acquiring a U.S.-based petroleum business
00:28:33.140
At this time, the Confidential Human Source also reported
00:28:36.780
aforementioned Vadim Pazharski was assigned by Burisma to manage the acquisition,
00:28:45.180
and he was planning to travel to Washington, D.C. in March of 2017.
00:28:57.900
the Confidential Human Source had no interactions with Zlochevsky or Burisma whatsoever.
00:29:05.020
In 2019, the Confidential Human Source met with Ostropenko
00:29:11.900
which had nothing to do with Zlochevsky, Burisma, the oil and gas industry.
00:29:17.980
that his meeting with Ostropenko took place at a, quote,
00:29:36.240
Ostropenko advised the Confidential Human Source
1.00
00:29:41.180
At this time, the Confidential Human Source understood
00:29:47.260
During the call, Zlochevsky asked the Confidential Human Source
00:29:50.380
and or Ostropenko if they had read the recent news reports
00:29:55.140
about the investigations into the Bidens and Burisma.
00:29:59.780
And Zlochevsky jokingly asked the Confidential Human Source
00:30:02.760
if the Confidential Human Source was an, quote,
00:30:06.460
oracle due to the Confidential Human Source's prior advice
00:30:13.720
but instead hire an attorney to litigate the allegations
00:30:18.980
The Confidential Human Source mentions Zlochevsky
0.71
00:30:21.080
might have difficulty explaining suspicious wire transfers
00:30:24.680
that may evidence any illicit payments to the Bidens.
00:30:30.280
Zlochevsky responded that he did not send any funds
00:30:42.300
Parentheses, which the Confidential Human Source understood
00:30:47.840
The Confidential Human Source asked Zlochevsky,
0.94
00:30:50.660
how many companies slash bank accounts Zlochevsky controls?
00:30:55.540
Zlochevsky responded that it would take them, investigators,
00:31:13.240
and wanted somebody in the U.S. government to speak,
00:31:15.460
wanted to speak to somebody in the U.S. government
00:31:18.000
the Confidential Human Source could introduce him to someone.
00:31:25.980
This was just the arrogance of not only the Bidens,
00:31:31.240
They thought that they had perfected this scheme.
00:31:37.420
if Joe Biden wouldn't, or Hunter Biden, I should say,
00:31:58.800
I don't think the dog left a laptop at a repair shop
00:32:02.740
with all the incriminating information to be found.
00:32:08.820
and I want to read between the lines here for a second.
00:32:12.720
There was also one thing that James Comer said to us
00:32:22.720
And he also said there's more money in other places
00:32:26.360
And the dollar amount keeps getting bigger and bigger and bigger
00:32:29.220
that we think is coming out as well as we find more.
00:32:39.800
with the Bidens based on what we're witnessing now?
00:32:42.840
With criminal conduct, if someone has a pattern,
00:32:47.040
And actually, the next paragraph of the FD-1023
00:32:54.660
Regarding the seemingly open and unsolicited missions
00:33:04.620
and the forced payments Zlochevsky made to the Bidens,
00:33:22.320
to make bribe payments to various government officials.
00:34:12.740
did not perceive Pojarski or Zlochevsky's statements
