NEW RECORDS: BIDEN UKRAINE CORRUPTION ALLEGATIONS Newly declassified emails and intelligence reports suggest a high priority witness for a GOP Senate investigation @ChuckGrassley @SenRonJohnson  into Biden corruption allegations was blocked from entering the US. Two weeks before the 2020 election, State DEPT email reads:  “..to follow up on the Telezhinko (sic) visa, we revoked it earlier this month because he was imminently getting on a plane and needed to move quickly…” - FBI and Intelligence Community “weren’t checking if allegations were true, they were suffocating anti-Biden Ukraine narrative, " says administration official CONTEXT: Visa revocation and reported sanctions on Andrii Telizhenko appear to fit a broader pattern: •IRS agents assigned to Hunter Biden laptop probe, including Burisma, say they were blocked from investigating leads into the “Big Guy” •51 former intelligence official claim laptop had “classic earmarks” of a Russia information operation. Months earlier FBI had authenticated laptop •FBI HQ appears to slow roll other Biden probes •Senators Grassley and Johnson get FBI suspect "offensive briefing" about Russian disinformation, allegedly designed to thwart Hunter Biden probe NOTE: Declassified records also raise prospect of circular reporting.   Here’s how it works: Government officials (or their proxies) plant information with a reporter, who publishes it. The same officials then cite the resulting media story to justify further investigative steps.  Exposing “circular reporting” undermines the credibility of some journalists who built their reputations on Russia collusion scoops New records via @WhiteHouse transparency task force
