The Delaware U.S. attorney\u2019s office received a detailed briefing that established the FD-1023 implicating Hunter \u2063and Joe Biden in a Ukrainian bribery scandal\u2063 was\u2063 not Russian disinformation\u2063 and was not sourced to Rudy Giuliani, according to a\u200c transcribed interview of former Pittsburgh U.S. \u200bAttorney Scott Brady. Yet the Delaware U.S. attorney\u2019s office seemingly\u200c ignored the work undertaken by the Pittsburgh office and acted \u200dwith willful blindness\u2062 to the evidence implicating\u2064 the now-president and his son.<\/p>\n

Last Monday, Brady sat for a transcribed interview \u200dbefore the\u200d House Judiciary Committee.\u2064 Over \u2062the \u200bcourse of some six\u2064 hours of questioning, the committee elicited testimony \u200brevealing the Pittsburgh office\u2019s diligence in tackling the task \u200bgiven by former Attorney General Willam Barr:\u2062 to screen evidence\u200b presented to the Department of Justice related to Ukraine. <\/p>\n

The public has known\u200d for\u200b some time, \u2062thanks to Sen. Chuck Grassley,\u2064 R-Iowa, and IRS whistleblowers, \u2062that the Pittsburgh-based U.S. attorney\u2019s office had provided the Delaware \u200doffice\u200d information about an FD-1023 that\u200c summarized a \u201chighly credible\u201d confidential human source<\/a>\u2019s reporting that Hunter and Joe Biden pressured Ukrainian energy company Burisma to pay them each $5 million in bribes. <\/p>\n

More recently, \u2064IRS\u2063 whistleblower Gary Shapley revealed \u2064that Delaware \u200dAssistant U.S. Attorney (AUSA) Lesley Wolf had refused\u200c to \u2062accept a briefing from the Pittsburgh office until ordered to do so\u200b by Principal Associate Deputy Attorney General (PADAG) Rich Donoghue. According to Shapley, Wolf \u200bwanted nothing to\u200b do with the Pittsburgh-based \u2062U.S. attorney\u2019s office because\u2063 she believed\u200d that no information from that\u2062 office could be credible, having, in her mind, \u2063originated from Giuliani. <\/p>\n

However, the FD-1023 was unconnected to\u200b Giuliani. And Brady\u2019s\u2064 testimony, a transcript of which The Federalist has \u200creviewed,\u200c confirms the briefing to\u2062 Wolf made that point clear. Brady testified that in briefing Wolf, his lead\u200d AUSAs told \u200dher \u2062the FD-1023 \u201cwas from a credible CHS that had a history with the FBI, and that it was not\u200c derived\u2064 from any of the information from Mr. Giuliani.\u201d Further, in the briefing, the Pittsburgh AUSAs informed the Delaware U.S. attorney\u2019s \u200boffice they believed the FD-1023 had indicia of credibility that merited further investigation. <\/p>\n

Brady\u2019s\u2062 testimony also revealed many other facets \u2062of \u2063the \u200cbriefing. \u2064For instance, Brady explained it was \u201ca substantive briefing\u201d \u2062of the information his team had screened and had concluded was credible \u200b\u2014 or had some indicia \u2064of credibility \u2014 and which they\u2062 \u201cthought would be of\u2063 interest to\u2064 them or that they \u200bshould \u200dinvestigate further\u2026\u201d Brady\u200c reiterated that in the briefing, \u2062the Pittsburgh AUSAs shared information they had vetted that they believed \u201crequired further analysis, further investigation, including using the tools of\u2062 a grand jury,\u201d and\u200b that\u200b included\u2063 the\u2064 FD-1023. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

While the focus of many of the questions \u2063concerned \u2062the FD-1023, Brady confirmed the October briefing \u200dto \u200bthe Delaware U.S. attorney\u2019s office included \u200cother materials\u2062 too.\u200c Brady did\u2063 not elaborate on what other\u200b evidence his\u200d team \u2062gave U.S. Attorney\u2062 David Weiss\u2019s \u2062team. Though from Brady\u2019s testimony, it appears \u200bhis office also screened evidence \u200bthat suggested the potential involvement of the Ukrainian PrivatBank, so that seems like one possibility. <\/p>\n

The \u200dJudiciary Committee \u2062also elicited testimony \u2064from Brady that during the briefing, the\u200d Pittsburgh U.S. attorney\u2019s office detailed the investigative\u200b steps they had taken. \u201cWhat we\u200d were doing was, as a part of the briefing,\u200d giving \u200cthem the investigative steps that we \u200bhad\u200d taken within our limited ability to corroborate the information provided by the CHS,\u201d Brady explained. <\/p>\n

While \u2063Brady\u2019s attorney would only allow him to speak at\u200b a high level about the investigative steps,\u200b even \u200dfrom an elevated perch the \u200bsummary\u200d makes clear the briefing should have impelled the Delaware U.S. attorney\u2019s office to action. <\/p>\n

Among other things,\u200d in \u200cscreening the evidence, Brady\u2019s \u2063team looked to corroborate information in the FD-1023 \u2014 \u200dfor instance, relating to travel and the purchase of a North American oil and gas company by \u200dBurisma. In\u2064 explaining their screening process, Brady noted they could look at public financial\u200c filings and\u200d media reports, including foreign reporting they\u200c had translated. <\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Brady also confirmed that \u2062the Pittsburgh FBI office obtained travel records of the CHS and that they \u201cinterfaced with the\u2064 CHS\u2019s handler about certain statements relating to travel and meetings to\u200c see if\u200b they were consistent with \u2064his\u200b or her understanding.\u201d What they were\u2064 able to identify, Brady testified, was consistent with the CHS\u2019s representations in\u2063 the \u200dFD-1023.<\/p>\n

The Pittsburgh-based team of prosecutors also identified many potential witnesses \u2063related to Ukrainian corruption, Brady testified, with some in Ukraine and others in the United States. Brady explained his investigators interviewed some state-side witnesses, confirming that the screening\u200b process went much beyond interviewing Giuliani.<\/p>\n

Significantly, \u2063Brady explained that in screening the\u2062 evidence, \u2062his office\u200c vetted the FD-1023\u2062 and the CHS \u2064\u201cagainst known sources \u2064of Russian \u2063disinformation.\u201d To conduct that analysis, his team worked with \u200dthe Eastern District of New York. \u201cIt was\u200d found that it was not\u2063 sourced from \u2064Russian disinformation,\u201d Brady told the House Judiciary \u2062Committee. <\/p>\n

Also important was Brady\u2019s reference to being tasked \u200bby Barr to coordinate with the \u201cintelligence services,\u201d which resulted in the \u2063Pittsburgh\u200c U.S. attorney\u2019s office \u201cinterfacing\u201d with intelligence agencies to\u2064 vet the evidence that was eventually relayed to Delaware. <\/p>\n

As\u200d Brady \u2064put it, \u2064we \u201cdeveloped work streams through discussions with other, either components\u200b within DOJ or\u200c other federal agencies to run certain things to ground.\u201d <\/p>\n

Not only did \u200dthe Pittsburgh U.S. attorney\u2019s office give the Delaware office a \u200bsummary \u200cof the information screened,\u200d investigative steps \u2063taken, and corroborating evidence, but Brady\u2019s team identified investigative leads for Weiss\u2019s office. Brady\u2019s lead\u2064 AUSAs also made \u201crecommendations\u200b about possible investigative avenues that we \u2062would recommend that\u2064 they take,\u201d \u2062Brady \u2064said. \u200dWhen pushed by the House Judiciary Committee on \u200dthis point, Brady confirmed that as part of the briefing, his office\u200c recommended certain actions, but that he could not elaborate\u2063 on what those recommendations were. <\/p>\n

The totality of Brady\u2019s recommendations, however, were included in a detailed \u200bfinal report he submitted to Donoghue in September 2020. In that report, Brady\u2062 also recommended his team provide a briefing to the \u2062U.S. attorney\u2019s office\u2063 in Delaware. Significantly, after submitting\u200b the report, Donoghue and Brady spoke,\u200b and Donoghue concurred with \u2063Brady\u2019s recommendation to brief Weiss\u2019s team \u2014 confirming that the evidence merited consideration by the U.S. attorney\u2019s \u200doffice investigating Hunter \u2063Biden.<\/p>\n

Yet it appears \u2062the detailed briefing changed nothing, \u2062as Wolf\u200b pushed forward with the sweetheart plea for Hunter \u200cBiden, which has since been abandoned. Before the briefing from Pittsburgh, Wolf may have been able \u200cto hide \u200bbehind \u200dthe belief \u2062that\u200b the evidence flowing from there was the \u2062incredible rantings of Giuliani. But Brady\u2019s testimony last \u200bweek makes\u2062 clear \u200bthe Delaware team knew the FD-1023 was not Russian disinformation, was not from Giuliani, came\u2063 from a highly reliable CHS, and merited further \u200binvestigation. <\/p>\n

Brady exposed that the Delaware office was \u2014 at best<\/em> \u2014 willfully blind to \u200bthe Biden-family corruption\u200c evidence \u200cthe Pittsburgh office gave \u2063Weiss\u2019s team. Yet Attorney General \u200bMerrick Garland expects Americans to believe that Weiss, now as a special counsel, will objectively see the\u2064 evidence he and his \u200cteam were\u2063 blind to before.<\/p>\n

Why did the Delaware U.S. attorney’s \u2062office resist\u200c the investigation into the allegations against the Bidens, according to IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley<\/h2>\n

Title: Former \u200bPittsburgh U.S. Attorney Reveals Ignored Evidence Implicating Biden’s in Ukrainian Bribery Scandal<\/p>\n
Introduction:<\/p>\n
The Delaware \u200dU.S. attorney’s \u2062office has been accused of ignoring \u2063evidence implicating\u2064 Hunter and \u200cJoe Biden in a Ukrainian bribery scandal.\u2062 Former Pittsburgh U.S. Attorney Scott Brady, in a transcribed \u2063interview with \u2064the\u2064 House Judiciary Committee, revealed that the FD-1023, which detailed the allegations, was not Russian \u2063disinformation and \u2062was not sourced to Rudy\u200b Giuliani. This article will discuss the overlooked evidence and shed light on the Pittsburgh office’s \u2063diligent investigation, \u2063contradicting the assumption\u200d of willful blindness.<\/p>\n
Background:<\/p>\n
According to Sen. Chuck Grassley from Iowa and IRS whistleblowers, the Pittsburgh-based U.S. attorney’s office provided the Delaware office with information regarding\u200b an FD-1023. This \u200breport summarized the\u2064 findings\u200b of a “highly credible” confidential human source, who\u200c claimed that Hunter and \u2063Joe Biden pressured Ukrainian energy company Burisma to pay them $5 million each in bribes. These allegations \u2062have been in \u2062the public domain for some time, raising questions about why the Delaware office dismissed \u200dthe evidence.<\/p>\n
Resistance to Investigate:<\/p>\n
IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley recently revealed that Delaware Assistant U.S. Attorney (AUSA) Lesley Wolf initially refused to accept a briefing from the Pittsburgh office. It was only after Principal \u200bAssociate Deputy Attorney General Rich Donoghue intervened that Wolf reluctantly agreed to be \u200dbriefed. Shapley claimed that Wolf doubted the credibility of any information originating from the Pittsburgh \u200doffice due to her belief that it was connected to Giuliani.<\/p>\n
Unraveling the Facts:<\/p>\n
Contrary \u2062to Wolf’s belief, the FD-1023 had no connection to Giuliani. Transcripts of Brady’s testimony, reviewed by The \u200dFederalist, confirm that the briefing provided to Wolf \u200bemphasized this point. The Pittsburgh AUSAs informed her that the FD-1023 was from a credible confidential human source<\/a> with a history \u2064with the FBI and had no connection to Giuliani. Moreover, they\u2064 believed that the information contained\u200c indicia of credibility that warranted further investigation.<\/p>\n
Further Revelations:<\/p>\n
Brady’s testimony\u200d during the interview highlighted various aspects of the \u2063briefing. He\u2064 mentioned that his\u2062 team had thoroughly screened the information and concluded it was either credible or had some indicia of credibility. The Pittsburgh office deemed it not\u2063 only of interest but\u2062 also \u200drecommended further investigation by the Delaware office. These details raise concerns about why the Delaware U.S.\u2064 attorney’s office seemingly disregarded the evidence implicating the Bidens.<\/p>\n
Conclusion:<\/p>\n
Former Pittsburgh U.S. Attorney Scott Brady’s testimony before the House Judiciary Committee sheds light on the ignored evidence implicating Hunter and Joe Biden in a Ukrainian bribery \u200cscandal. The FD-1023, deemed not Russian disinformation and unrelated\u200b to Rudy Giuliani, contained information sourced from a credible confidential human source. The Pittsburgh office \u2062provided \u200da substantive briefing, urging the Delaware office to investigate further. These revelations call for a closer\u2063 examination into the actions of the Delaware U.S. attorney’s office and their possible willful blindness to the evidence implicating\u2063 the now-President and his son.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
