Joe Biden bribery allegations were brought to DOJ in 2018 -- two years before similar claims by whistleblower

By Miranda Devine

Explosive bribery allegations involving Joe Biden and foreign nationals were brought to the Department of Justice as early as 2018, two years before similar allegations against the president were made by the whistleblower now talking to the House Oversight Committee.

Bud Cummins, a former federal prosecutor, first reported the bribery allegations to then-New York US Attorney Geoff Berman on Oct. 4, 2018, in an email claiming he had evidence that Joe Biden had "exercised influence to protect" his son's Ukrainian employer "in exchange for payments to Hunter Biden, Devon Archer, and Joe Biden."

In the email obtained by John Solomon's Just The News, Cummins said that Ukraine's then-Prosecutor General Yuriy Lutsenko wanted to travel to the United States to meet Berman, and could produce two "John Doe" witnesses to corroborate his claims about the Bidens.

But Berman never responded to the email.

Instead, in a move Cummins says seemed like "retaliation," on Dec. 9, 2019, in the middle of impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump, federal prosecutors secretly obtained data from Cummins' iPhone with a grand jury subpoena to Apple.

"I can't really imagine a legitimate reason for the DOJ not to follow up on an offer like that. I felt like it was stonewalled," said Cummins, formerly Arkansas' chief federal prosecutor under President George W. Bush.

"It doesn't make much sense to investigate the guy who brings you the allegation rather than the allegation," he said.

Is an indictment of Hunter Biden coming? Probably, but it's all a ruse.

James Comer warns the non-special prosecutor to not indict Hunter Biden before tomorrow -- because he has a report coming that will add to the list of crimes committed by Hunter Biden.

And involving his father, and his whole corrupt crime family.

According to Comer, committee members have been meticulously studying bank records and consulting with former associates and whistleblowers, and this bombshell evidence will be released on Wednesday.

"My message to the Department of Justice is very loud and clear. Do not indict Hunter Biden before Wednesday," Comer told Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures.

"When you have the opportunity to see the evidence that the House Oversight Committee will produce with respect to the web of LLCs, with respect to the number of adversarial countries that this family influence peddled in, and this is not just about the president's son. This is about the entire Biden family, including the President of the United States. So we believe there are a whole lot of tips that the IRS and the DOJ don't know about because we don't believe they've done a whole lot of digging in this, and we have," he said.

"By all accounts from the media reports that we're getting, what they're looking at charging Hunter Biden on is a slap on the wrist. It's a drop in the bucket," he continued. "So Wednesday will be a very big day for the American people in getting the facts presented to them so that they can know the truth, and then the Department of Justice can finally do what they should have done years ago."

Jazz Shaw warns that any "indictment" will likely be for purposes of a cover-up: indict Hunter for a few minor crimes he's obviously guilty of, and then declare an end to any further investigation into his criminal enterprises.

Even Andrew McCarthy sees this "sham" coming:

This has led to speculation that the scam I've been predicting for a couple of years is imminent: The Justice Department could soon give Hunter a sweetheart plea deal in which he would admit guilt to the undeniable -- a minor tax charge or two, plus, perhaps, a false statement on a required federal firearms form, concealing his drug abuse. Swept under the rug would be the part of the investigation that really matters: The gross monetization of Joe Biden's political influence and what foreign adversaries like China believed they were buying.
