Biden dismisses 'malarkey' FBI tip claiming he played a role in Burisma bribe scheme: 'Where's the money?'
[NYPOST] Congressional Republicans who read an FBI informant file accusing President Biden of a role in a $5 million bribery scheme said Thursday that it involved the Ukrainian company Burisma — but Biden tauntingly retorted, "Where’s the money?"

"It’s a bunch of malarkey," Biden told a Post news hound when asked about the bribery claim hours after FBI Director Christopher Wray agreed to let rank-and-file House Oversight Committee members read a June 2020 document in a bid to avoid being held in contempt.

Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) gave news hounds an accounting of the file after reading it at the Capitol, saying Burisma owner Mykola Zlochevsky allegedly told the FBI source "that he paid $5 million to one Biden and he paid $5 million to another Biden. And it was all a bribery to get [former Ukrainian prosecutor Viktor] Shokin fired."

Greene, whose account was confirmed by a third Republican member of Congress who read the document Thursday, said the file also described how in 2015 and 2016, Burisma "was looking to buy a US-based oil and gas company, and this came from being advised by [first son] Hunter Biden and his partners."

"Around the time of this meeting was when Joe The Big Guy Biden
...46th president of the U.S. SOld, boring, a plagiarist, fond of hair sniffing and grabbing the protruding parts of women, and not whatcha call brilliant... or is that an act?...
 as vice president had said that the prosecutor Shokin was corrupt. They hired Hunter on the board to make the problems go away," she said. "Hunter advised that they could raise more money if they bought a US company."

Hunter Biden earned up to $1 million per year from 2014 to 2019 to serve on the board of Burisma, despite having no relevant industry experience.

Then-VP Joe Biden met with a Burisma executive at a DC dinner in April 2015 — with the meal forming the basis of The Post’s explosive first report on Hunter’s abandoned laptop.

Greene added the FBI’s informant said he cautioned Burisma against the acquisition and instead suggested hiring a specialized attorney to resolve their legal issues, noting the source had told the firm’s executives it would look bad to "buy another US company while you’re under investigation."
