An interesting series of updates to the FBI whistleblower case of Joe Biden taking a $5 million bribe payment which now looks to have originated in Ukraine.
The background claim is pretty basic. A whistleblower approached congress stating the FBI had a report, an unclassified FD-1023, detailing a conversation with a ‘confidential human source’ (CHS) that outlined Vice President Joe Biden taking a $5 million payment from a foreign national to affect a U.S. policy decision. The FBI agent responsible for investigating the CHS claim was FBI Supervisory Intelligence Analyst Brian Auten, a sketchy character from the Trump-Russia probe.
The investigative events took place in June and July 2020 during the presidential election year. The claim is that FBI Supervisory Intelligence Analyst Auten reportedly buried the CHS allegation saying it could not be corroborated, and then wrote an assessment that it was Russian disinformation. However, the FBI investigative team didn’t see any effort by any FBI member to substantiate it. Hence a whistleblower, with specific knowledge of the details in the allegation, surfaces and tells congress the FBI is hiding the FD-1023 that outlines the confidential human source allegation of bribery.
Congress requested the FD-1023, the FBI refused to provide it. House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer then set a compliance deadline while he coordinated with Senator Chuck Grassley. The FBI still refused to turn it over, saying they would neither confirm nor deny the FD-1023 existence, and said releasing any information like that would potentially compromise Confidential Human Sources (CHS’s). The proverbial sources and methods excuse.
Yesterday, James Comer told FBI Director Chris Wray he would be held in contempt of congress for refusing the provide the letter to oversight.
Today, Christopher Wray admitted the existence of the FD-1023 and told Rep Comer and Senator Grassley he would let them come to FBI headquarters to look at it.
The FBI is still claiming the allegations have no way to be substantiated or corroborated. However, there is a very strong possibility, based on records that Comer and Grassley have received from subpoenas for Biden banking information, the substantiation documents are already in the hands of congress.

If the parties were reversed, the House would announce that it was withholding all future funding for the FBI, starting immediately. The MSM would cheer, and say that the FBI was to blame for any crime wave that may occur while they’re shut down.
So produce it, dingbat.
He blinked?
Too bad, it would have been amusing to have him in the same dungeon as the J6 non-persons...
Wray, like James Comey is a corrupt hack.
If parties were reversed...Trump would already be impeached, convicted, removed from office. Tried in a federal court and convicted and sitting in prison serving his time.
The problem for the FIB is it is a very credible source and the allegation checks out.
this interaction could have demonstrated the
US Constitution and Congress were in charge.
Wray has shown that HE is in charge, and can murder
and traffic any child, American, weapon, or treasonous info,
and then cover it all up — even to Congress.
The result of this interaction is that the
FIB is now allowed to scheme against the Constitution,
and even take out US Presidents — as they
unelectedly decide.
If it’s unclassified, why is there a redacted version?
The $5 million dollar bribe oriented in Ukraine you say? It’s no wonder the half-dozen Ukie flacks are fighting like hell on the forum. It’s one big money laundering scam and they know it.
The FBI is not just protecting Biden, they are protecting the entire Democrat caucus in the Senate from having to either vote to remove Biden from office or nullify the Bribery clause of the Constitution.

The Ukrainian $**thole again... the same $**thole Trump was impeached over, and we're now sending hundreds of billions to.
These people, seriously, need hanging, and Ukraine needs to be turned into a SKIDMARK.
Turn Ukraine to glass.
LOL did you do that on purpose or was it a Freudian slip?
What they should do, is demand he show up with it before congress, then when he doesn’t, throw in in a cell in the capital basement.
Won’t happen though. The FBI knows good and well that is above the law.
This is just the tip of the iceberg.
Me: The inability for Constitutionally-authorized Congressional oversight to avail itself of evidence ostensibly substantiating potentially treasonous national security threats risks extremely serious harms.
He turned it over because they are getting ready to dump Biden from the 24 run, I bet. Saw a video today where he fell handing out diplomas.
