The Federalist reported that "individuals familiar with the investigation" into the FBI's handling of an FD-1023 confidential human source report provided this information to them while the bureau continues to stonewall and stymie inquiries from the House and Senate Judiciary Committees.
As previously reported by DC Enquirer, Senator Chuck Grassley exposed on the floor of the Senate the shocking detail that Zlochevsky allegedly possesses 17 recordings of the Bidens that implicate the President and his son in a wildly illegal pay-to-play scheme. Fifteen of the alleged recordings are of phone calls with Hunter while two were calls with then-Vice President Joe Biden.
According to The Federalist, the FD-1023 cited by Grassley contains the vital detail that the Bidens' "coerced" Zlochevsky to pay the bribes in question in the context that the confidential human source advised him to "stay away from the Bidens." However, after 45th President Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton in the 2016 election, the source asked Zlochevsky if he was upset about the result, which is when the source learned the crucial information.
As Margot Cleveland wrote for The Federalist,
Zlochevsky reportedly told the source that he had taken "precautions" to protect himself from any investigation by Trump and the Republicans. He stressed that he had never paid the "Big Guy" by direct methods and that it would take about 10 years for investigators to unwind the money trail. At that point, Zlochevsky mentioned the alleged recordings of the Biden's in the context of providing insurance."Zlochevsky allegedly told the CHS he was dismayed by Trump’s victory, fearing an investigation would reveal his payments to the Biden family, which included a $5 million payment to Hunter Biden and a $5 million payment to Joe Biden. According to the CHS, the Burisma executive bemoaned the situation, claiming the Bidens had “coerced” him into paying the bribes."
The outlet further noted that through the investigations by Grassley and House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer, the FBI considered the confidential human source to be "highly credible."Senator Grassley just revealed that a highly credible FBI informant says the Burisma exec who allegedly bribed Joe Biden, has 17 audio recordings speaking with Joe and Hunter. This allegation should lead to the impeachment or resignation of Joe Biden, if true.

Much to the ire of Senators Grassley and Josh Hawley of Missouri, the FBI has proven recalcitrant and unwilling to give further information on what steps the bureau took, if any, to follow the investigation beyond the FD-1023. However, The Federalist's source maintains that between the form's receipt on June 30, 2020, and the bureau's decision to close the assessment of the matter in August that year, there was insufficient time to mount any serious investigation. “They couldn’t have done much,” the source said.
If the matter was indeed handed off to the Deleware field office agents, there very well "could have sat on it" as an individual familiar with the investigation and cited by The Federalist claimed.
