Tony Bobulinski did not appear before Hunter Biden grand jury.
The Infamous “Big Guy” Email and Hunter Biden’s Former Business Partner
The former business partner of Hunter Biden, who has claimed that the “big guy” email refers to President Joe Biden, was never asked to testify before the federal grand jury in Delaware, according to a representative for the partner.
Tony Bobulinski, a former Navy veteran and business partner of Hunter and James Biden, repeatedly reached out to U.S. Attorney David Weiss through his lawyer, expressing his willingness to speak to the grand jury. However, Weiss did not return their calls or request his appearance.
IRS Whistleblower Sheds Light on Joe Biden’s Potential Links to Chinese Business Pursuits
The latest revelation, initially reported by CBS News, follows the statements of IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley, who claimed that federal prosecutors limited investigators in exploring Joe Biden’s potential connections to the Chinese business endeavors of Hunter and James Biden. Shapley’s interview transcript also included a recorded conversation between an FBI agent and Hunter Biden’s business associate Rob Walker, where Walker mentioned Joe Biden’s appearance at a meeting regarding a lucrative deal with the Chinese energy conglomerate CEFC.
Walker told the FBI, “We were at the Four Seasons and we were having lunch and he [Joe Biden] stopped in, just said hello to everybody. I don’t even think he drank water. I think Hunter Biden said, ‘I may be trying to start a company or try to do something with these guys and could you?’ And I think he [Joe Biden] was like, ‘if I’m around,’ and he’d show up.”
The FBI agent then asked if the meeting was orchestrated by Hunter Biden to bolster their chances at making a deal work out, to which Walker replied, “Sure.”
Shapley revealed that Delaware assistant U.S. attorney Lesley Wolf did not want to ask about the “big guy” or Joe Biden during the interview with Walker, despite the obvious questions surrounding their involvement.
The “Big Guy” Email and the Business Deal with CEFC
Bobulinski collaborated with Hunter Biden in 2017 to establish a business called SinoHawk, aiming to form a joint venture with CEFC. However, instead of the intended partnership, millions of dollars were sent to accounts linked to Hunter Biden by CEFC.
The infamous “big guy” email, which became public in October 2020, outlined a business deal between the Chinese company and Hunter Biden. The email mentioned “10 held by [Hunter Biden] for the big guy.”
The email, sent by businessman James Gilliar to Hunter Biden and others on May 13, 2017, discussed the “expectations” of the potential deal and its remuneration packages. It stated that “Hunter” would receive $850,000 and be listed as “Chair/Vice Chair depending on agreement with CEFC.” The email also mentioned “20” for “H” (Hunter Biden) and “10” for “Jim” (James Biden).
Bobulinski, one of the recipients of the email, confirmed in October 2020 that “the big guy” referred to Joe Biden. He stated that Hunter Biden often referred to his father as “the Big Guy” or “my chairman” and sought his approval or advice on various deals.
Bobulinski disputed Joe Biden’s claim that he never discussed his son’s business, asserting that the Biden family name was at stake in these ventures.
Joe Biden’s spokesman, Andrew Bates, denied any involvement, stating that the president has never held stock in such business arrangements.
CEFC, Hunter Biden, and James Biden
CEFC, a now-defunct Chinese company founded by Ye Jianming, was the focus of Hunter and James Biden’s attempts to secure various deals. Text messages provided by Bobulinski indicated that Joe Biden met with him, Hunter, and James Biden as they pursued a potentially lucrative deal with CEFC.
Timothy Thibault, a former FBI assistant special agent, allegedly ordered the closure of additional derogatory reporting on Hunter Biden in October 2020, despite the information being verified or verifiable through search warrants.
Bobulinski expressed concern that Thibault worked to bury the information he provided to the FBI.
Senator Chuck Grassley informed U.S. Attorney David Weiss, Attorney General Merrick Garland, and FBI Director Christopher Wray in October 2020 that the FBI possessed significant evidence of potential criminal conduct by Hunter Biden and James Biden. This evidence was summarized from Bobulinski’s interview with FBI agents.
Grassley stated that the arrangement between Hunter Biden, James Biden, and foreign nationals connected to the Chinese government involved assisting them with business deals and investments while Joe Biden was Vice President. However, the work remained uncompensated during Joe Biden’s tenure. After leaving the Vice Presidency, Hunter and James Biden worked with CEFC to receive compensation for their past efforts.
Grassley’s summary revealed that a joint venture was created to facilitate this financial compensation, with 10% of Hunter Biden’s interest held for Joe Biden.
Republicans have scrutinized Hunter Biden’s partnership with Ye and Patrick Ho, a top lieutenant of CEFC who was convicted of violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Some evidence in Ho’s case was obtained through the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
Hunter Biden’s threatening messages invoking “my father” in 2017 resulted in a swift agreement with a Chinese Communist Party-linked company, leading to millions of dollars flowing into Biden family accounts.
Recently released WhatsApp messages between Hunter Biden and CEFC intermediaries revealed the leveraging of his father’s name and threats to secure a lucrative deal. These messages provide context to previous foreign bank transactions involving Hunter Biden, which showed significant payments from CEFC in 2017 and 2018.
Joe Biden denied being in the room when the threatening message was sent.
Conclusion
Hunter Biden reached a plea deal on federal charges related to tax crimes and the illegal purchase of a handgun. The IRS whistleblower’s claims about the politicization and slow-walking of the Justice Department investigation were made public, including allegations that U.S. Attorney David Weiss sought special counsel status and attempted to file charges in California and Washington, D.C., but was repeatedly denied.
