  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Note: See previous CHS report dated 3/1/2017 wherein CHS reported the foregoing, and stated the call took place during i :.· I . At that time, CHS stated that Zlochevsky briefly discussed Hunter Biden, but the topic was not relevant to Burisma's interest in acquiring a US-based petroleum business for $50·$100 million.

I guess 3 years later with an election approaching, the informant's memory improved.

It’s evidence. It’s just not proof. That’s for someone else to decide.
If the only "evidence" they have of the Biden's being involved in illegal activities is secondhand unverified information, then it's not going to take long for someone, including most Americans, to decide this whole thing is a waste of time.

“Today, FBI officials confirmed that the unclassified, FBI-generated record has not been disproven and stated several times the information contained within it is currently being used in an ongoing investigation. The confidential human source who provided information about then-Vice President Biden being involved in a criminal bribery scheme is a trusted, highly credible informant who has been used by the FBI for years. These are facts and no amount of spin, and frankly lies, from the White House or Congressional Democrats can change this information."

Maybe. But that doesn’t change the fact that it’s evidence.

For years, now, it is astounding the things in which the "establishment" finds no reason for concern, compared to what they DO find important.

You mean the form submitted by Giuliani to the FBI containing unverified information?

has not been disproven
LOL!! WOW. Even in politics the right doesn't understand burden of proof. I had enough of this in the science forums. No one has to disprove the allegations. They must be proven by those who are alleging them.

The confidential human source who provided information about then-Vice President Biden being involved in a criminal bribery scheme is a trusted, highly credible informant who has been used by the FBI for years.
Who? Giuliani? LOL! Or is it the Chinese spy guy? Or do they mean the woman who died before Hunter was even employed by Burisma? Or her husband who has the alleged tapes that no one has heard a single second of?

These are facts and no amount of spin, and frankly lies, from the White House or Congressional Democrats can change this information."
My irony meter just broke. Dang it!

Message from the FBI on the FD-1023 Request from Congress

"The FD-1023 is the form our special agents use to record raw, unverified reporting from confidential human sources (CHSs). FD-1023s merely document that information; they do not reflect the conclusions of investigators based on a fuller context or understanding. Recording this information does not validate it, establish its credibility, or weigh it against other information known or developed by the FBI in our investigations...

Today, June 5, the FBI produced to the chairman, ranking member, and limited staff members an FD-1023 containing minimal redactions that was responsive to the committee’s subpoena. The minimally redacted document was produced on a read-and-return basis, which means the document was not left with the committee at the conclusion of the briefing. In addition, two FBI senior executives provided a contextual briefing on the document, the importance of protecting the safety of CHSs, and the integrity and effectiveness of the FBI’s CHS program. The safeguards the FBI placed on the production of this information are important, not only for the integrity of FBI investigations but also the protection and safety of our sources. Moreover, these safeguards are routinely employed in response to congressional requests and in court proceedings."

This obviously calls for more investigation.

If you read the FD-1023, you will find that the information isn't coming directly from the informant, it's secondhand information provided by the informant. The informant says he can't confirm the accuracy of what he was told.

It is probable cause for an investigation. An investigation that never occurred.
No, the investigation did occur -- twice. This was all while Trump was President, "In news articles, former AG William Barr is cited in saying that this Form 1023 was reviewed by the Western District of Pennsylvania and was ultimately shared with David Weiss, U.S. Attorney overseeing the subject Investigation."

And before we get more talk of how Weiss was corrupt or whatever, remember that AG Barr specifically had him investigating and said that he fully trusted Weiss -- to the point that when he left office he did not believe a Special Prosecutor was necessary: "I think it's being handled responsibly and professionally currently within the department, and to this point I have seen no reason to appoint a special counsel, and I have no plan to do so before I leave." Weiss was not removed, as typically happens with political DoJ positions, and was allowed to investigate Hunter without any interference -- per statements Weiss himself has made to Congress.

Now, it is true that the IRS never investigated but why would they, when it was a report made to the FBI, that the FBI investigated (two separate investigations) and never found evidence to support?

Who is this "CHS" supposed to be. I don't see any names on this report.
I don't know, but the FBI says the release of this document may put the source in jeopardy.

In response, the FBI said in a statement that "at a minimum" the disclosure risks the confidential source's safety.

“Throughout the FBI’s engagements with Congress, we have been guided by our obligation to protect the physical safety of confidential human sources and the integrity of sensitive investigations," the statement said. "We have repeatedly explained to Congress, in correspondence and in briefings, how critical it is to keep this source information confidential. In the face of these significant concerns, the FBI negotiated a resolution with Chairman Comer to provide the information requested in a manner that protects the safety of confidential sources and integrity of investigations. The safeguards the FBI placed on the production of this information are necessary to protect the safety of confidential sources and the integrity of sensitive investigations."

Did you have any objection to the salacious second hand information being used to cripple Trump for pretty much his entire presidency?
Second Hand false information made up by Hillary Clinton and the fake Russian Steele dossier, that held president Trump and America hostage for years in the Russia Hoax Robert Mueller investigation, costing taxpayers $Millions$, A direct act of treason by Hillary and the DNC IMHO
