Some of the details:
It was two payments of five million each by Burisma to two different Bidens. Burisma wanted to buy a U.S. based oil company at the advice of Hunter Biden and associates. The current prosecutor investigating Burisma was corrupt. Burisma had hired Hunter to make the problem go away. The informant advised Burisma to simply hire an attorney and work out their problems with the prosecutor.
The owner of Burisma said that Hunter was stupid, but that his business partner was smart. He specifically hired Hunter to get the prosecutor fired. This was common practice in Ukraine. The owner kept records of the bribes, also common practice to have leverage over the bribed person.
The FBI knew full well that Republican politicians would tell us what they saw. They hid no information with their "we'll only show it to you in the SCIF" maneuver.
What they wanted was for the American people not to see it in black and white from an informant that the FBI has shown $200K worth of confidence in over the past two years. They hoped it would be less damaging if the information came to the American people through politicians instead of directly.
It will probably work. As a political strategy, it is sound. If we paid the FBI to be political operatives for the Demcrats, we would be getting our money's worth.
