Meh...seems like we've been hearing about these types of bombshells for three years but they never seem to be able to confirm the allegations. What ever happened to the laptop that we heard three years ago was going to take Joe down?
Get back to me when you have something factual.
Reality check: That is not the case, as even Grassley has acknowledged: "It is a very serious allegation. I wish I could say that I knew it was true or untrue," the senator told Newsmax on Thursday.
Between the lines: White House officials and the Oversight Committee's top Democrat, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), have raised concerns about the timing of the alleged FBI source interview.
The bottom line: Republicans have been searching for a Biden bribery bombshell since 2019. So far, nothing has stuck.
- In June 2020, Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani and his associates were seeking to revive debunked claims alleging Biden pressured Ukraine in 2016 to fire a prosecutor investigating his son, Hunter Biden, over his role on the board of the energy company Burisma.
- The FBI later assessed that Russia was promoting disinformation campaigns aimed at denigrating Biden in an effort to interfere in the 2020 election, including via a Russian agent who worked with Giuliani.
- Grassley and Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) released a report in September 2020 alleging that Hunter Biden had "cashed in" on his father's name to secure foreign business deals. But the investigation uncovered no evidence of wrongdoing by the future president.
Sure thing my beautiful sheep,
