You truly are the absolute worst, Mac. There is no lie you will not tell. Common sense would tell you ā10% for the big guyā was his father. The entire
world knew it at that very moment. But Hunter Biden has since corroborated it under oath.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene says Hunter Biden didnāt deny his dad Joe was āthe big guyā in a Chinese state-linked entity that yielded $5 million for first family-linked accounts.

no he didn't but yiou keep on pushing your lies its all ya go
These claims are problematic for several reasons. First, Zlochevsky has explicitly denied that such a conversation ever occurred. In 2020, Politico asked Zlochevsky to detail any contacts he had with Joe Biden from 2013 to 2019. He
replied that, "No one from Burisma ever had any contacts with VP Biden or people working for him during Hunter Biden's engagement."
Second, several individuals, including
Shokin's former aide, said Shokin was not actually pursuing any Burisma investigation at the time of the alleged bribe. The Washington Post also
reported that the investigation was dormant:
"Shokin was not investigating. He didn't want to investigate Burisma," Daria Kaleniuk, of the Ukrainian Anti-Corruption Action Center, told The Washington Post in July. "And Shokin was fired not because he wanted to do that investigation, but quite to the contrary, because he failed that investigation."
As for the alleged tapes, no organization or agency has confirmed they exist. Speaking on Newsmax, Comer
said of the alleged tapes that, "We don't know if they're legit or not."
In sum, the FD-1023 form detailed by GOP investigators is unverified hearsay that rehashes old allegations that still make little to no sense when one considers that there was no investigation to halt with a bribe in the first place.
As mentioned above, however, the former Burisma founder who is now dead can only be Mykola Lisin. While
observers have asserted that no public documentation supports the existence of a Lisin wife in the first place, Snopes has identified local Ukrainian reporting that names Lisin's now ex-wife as Maryna Lisina.
Lisin's son Mykyta was kidnapped for several days in 2014 ā an event that made national news in Ukraine. A
report discussing that story identified the mother of Burisma founder Lisin's son (translated via Google, emphasis ours):
According to Serhiy Nenashev, the lawyer of the mother of the kidnapped Maryna Lisina, on the same day she turned to the police with a statement about the kidnapping of her son, despite the demands of the criminals not to do so. [...] They demanded that Maryna Lisina bring money in a bag, which she had to leave at a designated place near the highway in the Kyiv region. Maryna Lisina brought the money, and the kidnappers took it from the designated place. After that, on December 12, Mykyta Lisin was released, leaving him with his eyes tied with tape not far from the Vasylkovo river, just on the road.
By email, Snopes reached out to Giuliani to ask if he had any evidence that Maryna Lisina had ever been an accountant for any company. We also asked if he had evidence that Chief Accountant Volodarskaya had ever been married to Lisin. We have not received a response.
Because Giuliani appeared to be describing, at minimum, two separate individuals as if they were one person, it is hard to take these allegations seriously. In this case, like that of the FBI informant, there is no actual evidence ā merely the suggestion that there could be evidence if the FBI wasn't corrupt.
The Bottom Line
There is no evidence to suggest that Joe Biden, or the Biden family, received money in exchange for political actions. That fact remains unchanged despite the inconsistent and logically incongruous assertions of evidence presented by both Grassley and Comer, as well as Giuliani.
