WASHINGTON — Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) has demanded the Justice Department and Office of the Director of National Intelligence release a trove of documents that were apparently “misclassified” to “downgrade” alleged wrongdoing by former President Joe Biden’s family.
In a Monday letter, Grassley and Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) revealed that records obtained by Grassley’s office indicated the FBI “misclassified information” to obstruct congressional inquiries into Operation Round River, a bureau task force that compiled derogatory information on Joe and Hunter Biden in the lead-up to the 2020 election.
“To-date, the available records cause serious concerns about how federal law enforcement and the Intelligence Community used its resources to downgrade allegations of criminality relating to the Biden family apparently without sufficient investigation,” Grassley and Johnson wrote to Attorney General Todd Blanche, FBI Director Kash Patel and Director of National Intelligence Jay Clayton.
“The records also cause concern about how federal records were stored and managed,” the lawmakers added.
The letter referenced an undated email from a FBI supervisory special agent that mentioned “classification caveats” requested by the agency’s Office of General Counsel “based on past experience with Crossfire Hurricane,” the 2016 investigation into whether the Trump campaign illegally colluded with Russian officials.
Under former Director Christopher Wray, the FBI apparently “intentionally misclassified information a certain way which would result in more obstacles to obtaining access, whether it be Congress or the American people who sought it,” the Republicans charged.

No one is going to jail.
And neither have done a gdamn thing to any of the crooks except send them sternly worded letters.
Pffft...spineless. /SPIT
Prosecute them. If they are not going to jail then DOX them and let citizens fix the problem.
But of course it did.
Please hush Grassley until anyone is convicted and sentenced.
A Senate Committee in a divided Senate can only do so much especially when trying to investigate a corrupt , powerful agency such as the FBI. Its entirely up to the executive branch ostensibly controlled by a righteous President and Attorney General. Suspect Kash Patel by now has been effectively blackmailed and neutralized. Corruption of these once stout Federal agencies will ruin the country.
We used to call these types of acts: “Overt Acts in furtherance of a Criminal Conspiracy” and those doing this are just as Guilty UNDER THE LAW, sounds like a bunch of lawyers should go to PRISON.
In other breaking news, water may be wet, fire may be hot, and a bear may crap in the woods.
They accidentally put it in the “swept under the rug” file.
Can we resurrect Gorilla Monsoon to announce the Kayfabe?
I think it was the "save for future blackmail" file.
Jail?
I’m not holding my breathe.
But I would dearly enjoy seeing a few of them swinging from a rope.
“May have”
Omfg, “may have”
“a bureau task force that compiled derogatory information...”
Why was the FBI operating a “bureau task force” that sought derogatory (note: not criminal evidence) on a presidential candidate? That’s an abuse of authority, no matter who the subject of the investigation may be.
You must be new to what the Senators Can Do! SMARTEN UP ! ALL THEY CAN DO IS WHAT THEY ARE DOING!
Been quite a long time since we’ve heard anything positive about the FBI.
lot of criminal activity.
And…?
