In October 2020, Tony Bobulinski made a splash around media circles when he accused Joe Biden of lying about his involvement with his family’s overseas business dealings and claimed he was the “big guy.” Ever since then, Bobulinski, much like House Republicans, has failed to provide any evidence corroborating his claims. Multiple independent media outlets could not verify Bobulinski’s claims even after he provided them with a portion of his records. James Gillar, the author of the “big guy” email, also went on to deny President Biden’s involvement in any business deal. Now House Republicans are expected to hear from Bobulinski as they are desperate to find literally anyone to hang their impeachment claims on.
Unfortunately, Bobulinski is far from credible, just ask his family. In a lawsuit between Bobulinski and his own parents, it was uncovered that Bobulinski had donated $25,000 to his father’s charity, shortly after his father was diagnosed with brain cancer. Bobulinski had even texted his father, “enjoy!” following his unsolicited donation. Then, Bobulinski attempted to claw the money back from his parents in a lawsuit, even threatening to take their home and car. Bobulinski’s volatility reached new heights after he reportedly barged into his parents’ home and shook his sick father’s head forcibly, which resulted in his stepmother filing a protective order against him. Bobulinski’s father passed away two months after he initially filed his complaint and his stepmother alleged that Bobulinski “was responsible for the death of my husband.” Great choice, House Republicans. Though unsurprising considering their other “very credible” witness has been indicted on charges of arms trafficking, among other things. We wonder who they’ll pick next.
Much Like House Republicans, Tony Bobulinski Has Failed To Provide Any Actual Evidence Of Wrongdoing By President Biden
OCTOBER 2020: FORMER HUNTER BIDEN BUSINESS ASSOCIATE, TONY BOBULINSKI, ACCUSED JOE BIDEN OF LYING ABOUT HIS INVOLVEMENT WITH HIS FAMILY OVERSEAS BUSINESS DEALS
New York Post Reported That Hunter Biden’s Ex-Business Associate Tony Bobulinski Accused Joe Biden Of Lying About His Involvement In His Family’s Overseas Business Deals And Claimed To Have First Hand Knowledge Of Joe Biden Discussing Business With Hunter Biden. “Hunter Biden’s ex-business associate Tony Bobulinski accused Democratic nominee Joe Biden of lying about his involvement in his family’s overseas dealings in a stunning appearance just 90 minutes before Thursday evening’s presidential debate. ‘I have heard Joe Biden say he has never discussed his dealings with Hunter. That is false. I have firsthand knowledge about this because I directly dealt with the Biden family, including Joe Biden,’ Bobulinski said following The Post’s bombshell reporting on Hunter Biden’s private emails” [New York Post, 10/22/20]
THE 2017 “BIG GUY” EMAIL DESCRIBED A PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT BETWEEN CEFC HOLDINGS AND ONEIDA HOLDINGS – THE LATTER WAS THE ENTITY THAT INCLUDED HUNTER AND JIM BIDEN
Bobulinski Referenced A May 13, 2017 Email That Showed Each Partner Receiving A 20% Share In The CEFC Business Venture – The Email Included Mention Of A Remaining 10% “Held By H For The Big Guy.” “Bobulinski came forward earlier Thursday to corroborate emails revealed exclusively by The Post last week about the Biden family’s murky overseas dealings in China involving both Hunter Biden and uncle Jim Biden. The US Navy veteran accused former Vice President Joe Biden of being directly involved in a plot to make millions of dollars, identifying to him as ‘the big guy’ named in the May 13, 2017, email. That email showed the four partners each getting 20 percent shares in the business, with 10 percent going to ‘Jim’ and the remaining 10 percent ‘held by H for the big guy?’” [New York Post, 10/22/20]
The 2017 Email Described Possible Ownership Stakes For Five Partners, Including Hunter And Jim Biden In A Planned Venture With CEFC China And An Entity Oneida Holdings LLC. “The 2017 email described possible ownership stakes for five partners, including Hunter Biden and his uncle Jim Biden, in a planned venture with CEFC, the Chinese company. The entity was to be called Oneida Holdings LLC.” [Fact Checker, Washington Post, 11/23/22]
RECORDS FOUND ONEIDA HOLDINGS LLC SHOWED A PARTNER BUSINESS STRUCTURE, WHICH DID NOT INCLUDE JOE BIDEN
A Draft Agreement Setting Up Oneida Was Circulated Showing Each Partner Receiving A 20% Stake, Not Including Joe Biden – A Signed Company Agreement Contained The Same Allocation – Oneida Was To Hold 50% Of A Corporate Entity Called SinoHawk. “Three days after the email was sent, a draft agreement setting up Oneida was circulated. It shows each partner would receive 20 percent, including Jim Biden. No mention is made of Joe Biden. The company agreement signed on May 22, 2017, had the same allocation. Oneida was to hold 50 percent of another corporate entity called SinoHawk.” [Fact Checker, Washington Post, 11/23/22]
A Draft Of Oneida Holdings LLC Summary Terms Found No Membership Units Allocated To Then-Former Vice President Joe Biden.
[Draft of Summary of Terms, Oneida Holdings LLC, drafted 5/16/17]
The Signature Page Of Oneida Holding LLC’s Company Agreement Did Not Include Joe Biden.
[Limited Liability Company Agreement, Oneida Holdings LLC, drafted 5/22/17]
JAMES GILLAR, AUTHOR OF THE “BIG GUY” EMAIL SAID HE WAS “UNAWARE” OF ANY INVOLVEMENT OF THE FORMER VICE PRESIDENT IN THE BUSINESS STRUCTURE – GILLAR ALSO SAID THE VENTURE NEVER RECEIVED ANY “PROJECT REVENUE”
James Gillar Told The Wall Street Journal In 2020 That He Was “Unaware” Of Any Involvement Of The Former Vice President In The Business Structure, And Said The Venture “Never Delivered Any Project Revenue.” “But Gilliar told the Wall Street Journal in 2020: ‘I would like to clear up any speculation that former Vice President Biden was involved with the 2017 discussions about our potential business structure. I am unaware of any involvement at anytime of the former vice president. The activity in question never delivered any project revenue.’” [Washington Post, 11/23/22]
James Gillar Was The Author Of The “Big Guy” Email. “James Gilliar, a business associate summarizing the allocation of the equity in Oneida Holdings LLC., in the email, wrote how four partners would get 20 percent each, except for Jim Biden, who would get 10 percent. He added a question: ‘10 held by H for the big guy?’ One of the recipients of the mail, Anthony Bobulinski, has said that the ‘big guy’ referred to Joe Biden and that ‘H’ referred to Hunter. Bobulinski was a guest of Trump at one of the 2020 presidential debates.” [Washington Post, 11/23/22]
BOBULINSKI REPEATEDLY MET WITH REPORTERS AND ASSURED THEM HE HAD EVIDENCE THAT WOULD CORROBORATE HIS ALLEGATIONS
Bobulinski Met With Fox News’ Tucker Carlson, To Provide Details On A Business Venture Involving Hunter, Jim, And Allegedly Joe Biden With Conglomerate CEFC China Energy Which Had Ties To The Chinese Government. “Tony Bobulinski on Tuesday sat with Fox News’ Tucker Carlson to provide details of a 2016-17 business venture involving Hunter, Jim Biden (Joe’s brother), and CEFC China Energy, a conglomerate tied to the Chinese government. Mr. Bobulinski, a Navy veteran and financier, was recruited by Hunter and associates to serve as CEO, and the interview shed more light on hundreds of emails and documents he recently made public.” [Editorial Board, Wall Street Journal, 10/28/20]
Politifact Reported That Bobulinski Told Reporters Everything He Said Would Be Corroborated By Emails, WhatsApp Chats, And Documents, Which He Claimed Held Incriminating Evidence That Would Be Handed Over To Authorities.“‘Everything I’m saying is corroborated by emails, WhatsApp chats, agreements, documents and other evidence,’ [Bobulinski] told reporters gathered Oct. 22, before gesturing to three phones that he claimed contained incriminating evidence and said he would hand over to authorities.” [Politifact, 10/29/20]
BOBULINSKI PROVIDED MULTIPLE REPUTABLE MEDIA OUTLETS A PORTION OF HIS RECORDS – NONE OF THEM COULD INDEPENDENTLY VERIFY HIS CLAIMS
Bobulinski’s Records To Fox News And Wall Street Journal Do Not Show Joe Biden Had Business Dealings With SinoHawk Holdings Or Took Money From The Chinese Company.“Bobulinski provided some of his records to outlets like Fox News and the Wall Street Journal. Both reported that they do not show Joe Biden had business dealings with SinoHawk Holdings or took money from the Chinese company. The Wall Street Journal reviewed his documents and found no evidence of wrongdoing by Joe Biden — or that he was active in his family’s foreign business endeavors, as Bobulinski claimed.” [Politifact, 10/29/20]
- Wall Street Journal Reported That The 2017 Venture “Never Received Proposed Funds From The Chinese Company Or Completed Any Deals” And Corporate Records Showed No Role For Joe Biden. “The venture—set up in 2017 after Mr. Biden left the vice presidency and before his presidential campaign—never received proposed funds from the Chinese company or completed any deals, according to people familiar with the matter. Corporate records reviewed by The Wall Street Journal show no role for Joe Biden.” [Wall Street Journal, 10/23/20]
- Both Politifact And The Associated Press Reported They Could Not Independently Verify Bobulinski’s Claims. “There’s reason to be skeptical about Bobulinski’s allegations, which credible news organizations have not corroborated. The Associated Press, for example, reported that it could not independently verify Bobulinki’s claims. PolitiFact has not been able to, either” [Politifact, 10/29/20]
Bobulinski Has As Much Credibility As Indicted Arms Trafficker Gal Luft, Just Ask His Dad
TONY BOBULINSKI SUED HIS FAMILY AFTER SENDING THEM A $25,000 DONATION AFTER LEARNING HIS FATHER’S BRAIN CANCER HAD RETURNED
Daily Beast: “Star Impeachment Witness Sued Cancer-Stricken Dad’s Charity”
Tony Bobulinski Sued His Father’s Charity And Threatened To Take His Parents’ Home And Car After He Alleged They Defrauded Him Of $25,000 – Bobulinski Went On To Withdraw The Matter Years Later Without Offering Explanation. “The dispute—in which Bobulinski claimed without any clear evidence that his parents and the charity had defrauded him of $25,000, and allegedly threatened to take their home (and, later, their car)—sparked months of family turmoil. […] He pursued the lawsuit for months after his father died, trying to secure a settlement with his stepmother, the charity, and his father’s estate. Settlement negotiations went unresolved, and Tony ultimately withdrew the matter without offering explanation, according to court records obtained by The Daily Beast.” [Daily Beast, 10/6/23]
- The $25,000 In Question Was A Donation That Bobulinski Made To His Parents After Learning His Father’s Brain Cancer Had Returned, Bobulinski Even Texted His Father, “Enjoy!” “The lawsuit, which Tony Bobulinski filed in Virginia Beach Circuit Court in 2015, stemmed from an apparent misunderstanding between the son and his parents about how they were to spend his $25,000 contribution to their charity—a small, quite literally mom-and-pop operation called the ‘Making a Difference Foundation’ (MADF). Bobulinski had cut the check in December 2014, shortly after learning that his father’s brain cancer had returned. But whatever goodwill was kindled at the time went up in smoke about a month later, when Bobulinski erupted in a text message conversation with his stepmother, accusing his parents of fraud, spending the money on themselves without his authorization. […] His parents argued that they never had such an agreement and that Tony had sent them the ‘unsolicited and unexpected’ check without any directions or restrictions. One text from Alicia said that Robert had told her Tony had included the message, ‘Enjoy!’” [Daily Beast, 10/6/23]
BOBULINSKI WAS SO ENRAGED HE FORCIBLY SHOOK HIS FATHER’S HEAD DESPITE KNOWING HE WAS SICK WITH BRAIN CANCER
At One Point, After Learning His Father’s Brain Cancer Had Returned, Bobulinski Stormed Into His Parents’ Home And Forcibly Shook His Father’s Head. “The Virginia records are riven with emails, text messages, and other documents that paint Bobulinski as a volatile and self-serving manipulator with an explosive temper. At one point, Bobulinski stormed his parents’ home and forcibly shook his dad’s head, having learned in person only a few weeks earlier that his brain cancer had returned, according to his stepmother’s sworn affidavit in her application for a protective order.” [Daily Beast, 10/6/23]
Alicia Bobulinski, Tony’s Stepmother, Filed A Protective Order, Which Also Asked Tony To Stop Texting Her. “The case file obtained by The Daily Beast does not include a document granting the protective order, which had asked that Tony stop texting her. (Text conversations resumed a short while later.) However, a draft of a mutual release agreement included among its seven points a term a release from ‘in any manner to events that led Alicia to seek a protective order against Tony.’ It’s unclear whether the release took effect. The document, drawn up in February 2016 by Tony’s lawyer and sent to Alicia, does not bear Tony’s signature, and it is unclear whether he ever signed it. Alicia, who signed the release on Feb. 12, included it without Tony’s signature as documentation of ‘reasons’ in her motion to dismiss the case the next month.” [Daily Beast, 10/6/23]
Tony Bobulinski’s Stepmother Held Him Accountable For The Death Of Her Husband
Robert Bobulinski, Tony’s Father, Died Two Months After His Son Filed The Complaint, Alicia Bobulinski Alleged Tony Bobulinski “Was Responsible For The Death Of My Husband.” “The conflict appears to have dominated much of the final year his father and stepmother had together. Robert Bobulinski died two months after his son filed the complaint. His wife, Alicia Fernandez Bobulinski, blamed Tony. ‘If Tony thinks that he can bully me still even after he was responsible for the death of my husband he is mistaken,’ Alicia Bobulinski wrote in one email, sent to her son’s lawyer two months after the death. ‘He shot his own foot out of being mean spirited. Twenty days after we were in court my husband was in the hospital. Six days later my husband drew his last breath!!!’” [Daily Beast, 10/6/23]
AT THE TIME OF THE LAWSUIT, TONY BOBULINSKI HAD BURNED THROUGH HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN A CHINESE VENTURE IN THE CAYMAN ISLANDS
At The Time Of The $25,000 Lawsuit, Bobulinski Had Poured Hundreds Of Thousands Of Dollars Into A Failing Offshore U.S-Chinese Branding Operation In The Cayman Islands. “While Tony was trying to chisel money back from his dying father, and then his dad’s estate and widow, over what Virginia court records indicate was a misunderstanding about a $25,000 donation, he was simultaneously pouring hundreds of thousands of dollars of his own money—including in emergency loans—into a failing offshore U.S.-Chinese branding venture operating in the Cayman Islands.” [Daily Beast, 10/6/23]
- Bobulinski Had Made Three $50,000 Installment To The Chinese Venture At The Time He Was Trying To Take His Dead Father’s Van From His Stepmother. “At one point, Bobulinski forwarded that faltering business three $50,000 installments around the same time that he was trying to take his dead father’s van from his stepmother, according to court filings. That China venture soon imploded, and Bobulinski sued for his money back there too. That dispute, now in its seventh year, is ongoing, according to Cayman Islands court filings.” [Daily Beast, 10/6/23]
