there's always tension between investigators and prosecutors, and that's true. but it's a fair question to learn whether this was that norm or the result of political influence. a day after the whistleblower testimony came senator chuck grassley's release of the fbi's so-called 1023 form, which memorializes claims from an fbi informant, doesn't provide proof that the allegations are true. cnn reported thebi document says an informant described a meeting where the ceo of ukrainian energy company claimed that he had made two $5 million payments to the bidens, though he dn't specify who received the alleged bribes. it cost $5 million to pay e biden and $5 million to pay another biden, he told the fbi informant at the 2016 meeting, in vienna, according to the document. the informant whom the fbi described as highly credible, has not been able to provide any further opinion as to the
i read the letters he sent to congress. he's not in sync with what you have offered. >> i have no idea what his motivation is. but what i can tell you is that his letter is changing. our account is not. his letter stated that his most recent let stated to the house committee that he has the u ultimate authority in his jurisdiction of delaware, and if he needs to go to the central district of california or the district of d.c. this he needs some special counsel authority or special attorney authority. that only came out after our whistleblower testimony came out. that recount of what happened only came out after that. so at the end of the day, i
his letter stated -- his most recent letter to the house committee stated that he has the ultimate author in his venue, his jurisdiction of the district of delaware. and if he needs to go outside of that, if he needs to go to the central district of california or the district of d.c., that he needs some special attorney authority. that only came out after our whistleblower testimony came out. that recount of what happened only came out after that. so what is it? at the end of the day, i honestly thought that david was going to do the right thing for the right reason. we met with him so many times. he said you have proven this, absolutely, 2017, 2018, 2019, i agree with those charges. that felony and misdemeanor charges. i don't know how we came to where we charged only the misdemeanor in this case. >> final question.
federally for much, much longer. i have never seen anything like this. they basically, both sides basically buried a key provision within the diversion, the pre-trial diversion. there is the pre-trial diversion which usually the judge has nothing to do with. there is a very broad provision in the pre-trial diversion agreement is basically what gave him, hunter biden broad immunity. and the judge figured it out and wouldn't let it happen. and, by the way, this is paragraph 15 of the pre-trial diversion agreement. she didn't even get that apparently until a few minutes before the actual plea hearing. very, very hinky. >> steve: no kidding. and the day before the judge received, i think, 400 pages from the house ways and means committee chairman jason smith who is going to be on our program in a little bit which included the whistleblower testimony. and we heard them live last week.
laid over the legal proceedings here. >> well, politics are undeniable here. a lot of what the judge is being asked to consider also deals with what happened during the investigation into hunter biden 's conduct. there has been whistleblower testimony that suggests that there were decisions made that were contrary to the evidence and contrary to even what some prosecutors, namely david weiss, had originally wanted to do with the case. and so to the extent that the judge in the plea bargain can consider in the interests of justice whether this deal encompasses all considerations of what the original charges might have been and what other misconduct member out there, there is certainly no way to avoid the politics here in terms of some of the other allegations involving hunter biden's foreign business dealings that span outside of the kind of crimes that were included in the deal. but which were out there and maybe still are out there in terms of the investigation. and so it seems like this is not
as they do, what do you think? >> well, what else can they do, really. it's the evidence of wrongdoing is piling up every single day and the republicans in the oversight and other committees having whistleblower testimony and bank statements, it's -- it's pointing in a very strong direction towards that influence peddling scheme that the biden family was running when joe biden was vice president and the reason that's really important now is because he's the president and have those millions of dollars compromised, his ability to deal with the same foreign countries that were paying his family. >> john: where do you think this is all headed? >> look, kevin mccarthy opened the door to impeachment the other day, the speaker of the house. there are republicans who are pushing for it.
the clerk, oops, you know what? we didn't really mea n to filethat all that whistleblower stuff. >> can you guys just strike that w from the record? >> seriously, hunter biden's lawyer made a phony phone call to the court and tried to remove the whistleblower testimony. he calle and trd and impersonatedhe the opposing lawyer, hey, this e is a republican attorney, chris clark. >> never mind that amicus brief. just forgek -- nevt about it. that was an accident. good day, young lady. was this hunter's sugar brother's idea? >> you know,s this the one who s ripping bong hits off his balcony in malibu thiss idee sounds like the kind of caper c you cook up when you're on cocaine. hey, guy cook up s. you know what we should do? the we should just call the courthouse and pretend we're the other lawyer cou hous >> democrats just called this lanle investigation a clow show. and hunter biden's lawyers are and eg prank calls to the judg on the eve of the plea deal.nk c you can get disbarred for thatas
president, who was so corrupt and crude and base and engaged in such criminal activity, now we're going to try to deflect. >> laura: that was congresswoman dean responding to james comer about the case against joe biden. she is a liar like joe biden. here is what we know. confidential human source brought information to the fbi that ties joe to the bribery scheme when he was vice president. as congressman just eshg lewded to, the what's app message when he was sitting with his father. and hunter biden's former business partner devin archer will reportedly claim joe was on two dozen calls directly tied to foreign business dealings when he was vice president. that doesn't even get to the whistleblower testimony,
