Law professor Jonathan Turley of George Washington University slammed the FBI as “The place evidence goes to die. Of course, he is talking about the investigations into the Biden family. The legal expert appeared on “Fox News Sunday” and reacted to a clip of Internal Revenue Service (IRS) whistleblower Joseph Ziegler. Ziegler claims that he never saw the FD-1023 that reveals the $10 million dollar bribe Joe allegedly got from the owner of Burisma to get a prosecutor fired who was investigating him.
Turley said, adding that any evidence with the Biden name “dies a very rapid death.”:
“It increasingly seems like the FBI is the place where evidence goes to die.”
Turley is a lifelong liberal who respects the Constitution anyway. He is known for calling out both sides when they try to pull anything that violates the Constitution. His comments underscore a feeling of trepidation among conservatives who have warned of politicization in the FBI. This was evident during the Russia Collusion Hoax. The FBI knew that it was BS, but they ran with it in an effort to drive Trump from office.

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) released a lightly redacted copy of the FD-1023 form last week. That was the day after Ziegler and a fellow IRS agent testified before Congress last week. They testified that the FBI and the IRS slow-walked the investigation, before firing all of the investigators who pressed for charges against Huter Biden. Both Whistleblowers are Democrats. Then they gave Hunter a sweetheart deal that would not give him any prison time. Imagine that. They don’t even pretend to be honest anymore.
The document contains notes from 2020 about a confidential human source’s claims to the FBI regarding an alleged bribery scheme worth millions of dollars involving Joe Biden at a time when he was vice president and a Ukrainian business executive at Burisma Holdings, the gas company where Hunter Biden served on the board for several years.
Both Ziegler and Shapley have attested that they were not provided the notes before they were removed from the Biden probe. Former Attorney General William Barr has said he sent that information to be vetted by a prosecutor in Pennsylvania, and after it was determined that there was “no basis to believe this was disinformation,” the claims were relayed to Delaware, where U.S. Attorney David Weiss has been leading the Hunter Biden inquiry.
GOP lawmakers, including Grassley, have raised questions about what, if anything, was done to corroborate or dismiss the informant’s claims. Weiss, in a recent statement that sought to push back on the idea that he had ever been denied the authority to bring charges in the Hunter Biden matter, said he could not respond to questions about allegations regarding a bribery scheme contained in the FBI FD-1023 form because they related to “an ongoing investigation.”
Turley said the “key” takeaway from the FD-1023 form was that it “mirrors perfectly” the trove of financial records being scrutinized by GOP congressional investigators concerned about a pattern of millions of dollars flowing to Biden and his relatives from foreign nationals under suspicious circumstances.
Democrats in Congress have dismissed the inquiries into the Biden as politically motivated while President Biden has called allegations of corruption “a bunch of malarkey.” The FBI released a statement lamenting how its efforts to “protect the physical safety of confidential human sources and the integrity of sensitive investigations” were squandered by the FD-1023 form’s release.
