Bobulinski offered to testify about 2017 meeting with Biden; Weiss never called back

In a sane world, a U.S. attorney tasked with sorting out the deliberately tangled web of Hunter Biden’s overseas business dealings would likely start by interviewing those he had worked with. Of course, given their own complicity, most of those individuals would be reluctant to volunteer their testimony.

Retired Navy Lt. Tony Bobulinski, a Democratic donor and the former CEO of SinoHawk Holdings LLC, a joint venture between the CCP-tied Chinese energy giant CEFC and the Biden family, was perhaps the most credible – and uncompromised – witness U.S. Attorney David Weiss could have summoned. 

Shortly after the New York Post’s October 2020 Hunter Biden laptop story had exposed then-candidate Joe Biden’s alleged knowledge of and possible involvement in his son’s foreign business adventures, Bobulinski went on the record to confirm that the emails were real. He also claimed to have met Joe Biden on May 2, 2017, in the bar of the Beverly Hilton Hotel. Hunter had arranged the meeting to give his father the opportunity to “vet” Bobulinski. 

By confirming Biden’s alleged participation in his son’s activities, Bobulinski’s statement turned what was merely a Hunter Biden story into a Joe Biden story. If the information found on the laptop were true, then a future President Biden had been compromised and he represented a counterintelligence risk to the U.S. (Unfortunately, 51 former intelligence leaders went to work to contain the fallout.)

At any rate, last week, a source informed Fox News that Bobulinski and his lawyers had contacted Weiss to offer his testimony before the Hunter Biden grand jury, but they’d “never heard back.”

Strange, huh?

Democrats defend Weiss by pointing out that he was a Trump appointee. Moreover, they argue that Biden could have fired Weiss as it is customary for new presidents to replace the U.S. attorneys chosen by their predecessors. Both statements are true. But the backlash from firing the man in charge of his son’s investigation would have been political suicide for Biden. 

The reality is that Weiss’s actions, and those of Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf, are inconsistent with how criminal investigations are typically run. The most glaring example is IRS whistleblower Gary Shapley’s claim that Wolf tipped off Hunter Biden’s attorney ahead of a planned search of his northern Virginia storage locker. 

So, Weiss’s decision to exclude Bobulinski’s testimony from the grand jury makes perfect sense. Well aware of Bobulinski’s statement to the Post on the eve of then-President Donald Trump’s second and final debate with Biden, and his full cooperation with the Senate investigation into the Biden family’s influence peddling business, Weiss and Wolf prevented jurors from hearing from him.

In his pre-debate statement to the Post, Bobulinski confirmed that “the big guy” slated to receive a 10 percent share of future earnings in a deal with CEFC was indeed Joe Biden.

Bobulinski wrote that he had received a request from the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs and the Senate Committee on Finance to turn over related documents and said he intended “to produce those items to both Committees in the immediate future.” He did not disappoint.

Bobulinski’s statement said that Hunter Biden sometimes referred to his father as “my chairman and frequently referenced asking him for his sign-off or advice on various potential deals that we were discussing.”

“I’ve seen Vice President Biden saying he never talked to Hunter about his business,” Bobulinski wrote. “I’ve seen firsthand that that’s not true, because it wasn’t just Hunter’s business, they said they were putting the Biden family name and its legacy on the line.”

He continued: 

I realized the Chinese were not really focused on a healthy financial ROI. They were looking at this as a political or influence investment. Once I realized that Hunter wanted to use the company as his personal piggy bank by just taking money out of it as soon as it came from the Chinese, I took steps to prevent that from happening.

The Johnson Report connected some dots in a way that shocked me — it made me realize the Bidens had gone behind my back and gotten paid millions of dollars by the Chinese, even though they told me they hadn’t and wouldn’t do that to their partners.

I don’t have a political ax to grind; I just saw behind the Biden curtain and I grew concerned with what I saw. The Biden family aggressively leveraged the Biden family name to make millions of dollars from foreign entities even though some were from communist controlled China.

The most significant takeaway from these revelations is that Biden was not only aware of his son’s business activities, but that he was actively involved and was benefiting financially. 

Weiss’s unfathomable exclusion of Bobulinski from the Hunter Biden grand jury will surely be addressed when he is called before Congress to account for the growing number of inconsistencies in his prosecution of the case.
