FBI Is Stonewalling Congressional Oversight On Hunter Biden
The Federalist ^ | 08/08/20 | Tristan Justice

Posted on 10/08/2020 6:37:32 AM PDT by Enlightened1

The FBI is refusing to provide answers to a congressional inquiry pertaining to Hunter Biden’s potentially criminal overseas business activity revealed in a Senate report last month that chronicles the Biden family’s conflicts of interest abroad.

Last week, Ohio Republican Rep. Jim Jordan, who serves as the ranking member on the House Judiciary Committee, demanded the federal law enforcement agency provide answers on what actions it took, if any, upon reports from the Justice Department in 2015 that the owner of the Ukrainian energy firm Burisma paid a $7 million bribe to Ukraine officials to shut down an investigation. Hunter Biden is on Burisma’s board despite no prior experience in the industry.

 

The existence of such reports from the DOJ became public in the long-anticipated findings released by a three-year Senate investigation spearheaded by Republican Sens. Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, who lead the Finance Committee and Homeland Security Committee, respectively.

“The report by Chairman Johnson and Chairman Grassley shows that the FBI has been aware of some alleged misconduct for years,” wrote Jordan upon the Senate probe’s conclusion.

Jordan also highlighted concerns raised within the Obama State Department regarding Biden’s lucrative board position with Burisma. He raked in upwards of $50,000 a month despite his lack of experience while his father, Joe Biden, served as the administration’s “public face” of White House policy towards the Eastern European ally.

“The report detailed widespread concern within the Obama-Biden Administration about Hunter Biden’s role on the board of Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian company founded by Mykola Zlochevsky,” Jordan wrote. “The Chairmen noted that they had asked the FBI about its actions in response to these allegations, but have received no answer from you.”

Gen. MacArthur, a certified American hero, was justifiably fired because he was insubordinate to POTUS just ONE time.

Here it is going on all over D.C. every day. Esper, Wray, FAUCI...

Trump really needs to channel his inner-Apprentice.

Wray needs not only to be fired, but arrested and charged with obstruction of justice.

The heads of these snakes need to be removed from the bodies. Rinse, repeat, as needed.

The politicized FBI needs an attitude adjustment. It acts as though it is an unaccountable branch of government. In the process, it has become a partisan tool.

If Trump wins another term he needs to do some serious house cleaning this time. No hesitation, excuses or delays — fire ‘em all.

We cannot afford to allow these agencies to continue to be weaponized for four more years.

The politicized FBI needs to be dismantled.
By all accounts it is way beyond reform.
The whole approach to Federal law enforcement needs
to be rethought.

REFERENCE---JUDICIAL WATCH FOUND Biden Corruption Runs Through Ukraine, Russia, and China

The Senate report exposes shocking corruption involving Hunter Biden, who made millions in Ukraine at the natural gas company, Burisma Holdings, when his father, Vice President Joe Biden, was President Obama’s Ukraine point man. We’ve long known some of this, but the sheer scope of the influence peddling and sums involved are stunning. The 87-page document also exposes Hunter’s Russian connections......

<><> Hunter’s lucrative money-making stake in China’s BHR Partners.
<><> Hunter visited China five separate times w/ SS protection.
<><> Hunter received a $3.5 million wire-transfer payment from the wealthy wife of a former Moscow mayor.

Won’t happen until after election, then I suspect the November 4th, he’ll make a list and by the end of the year will clean house big time.

If he fires Wray now then that will be the daily media message.

Better to focus on getting Senators and House members in tough races re-elected.

Get a copy of a new book “The Stakes, America at the point of no return,” by Michael Anton, and read it. Get past Chapter 1, which is all about CA and get to chapter 2. This guy has done his research and has written a very scholarly account of where we are in history. I warn you, it is bleak. The bureaucracies and the deep state almost have a lock grip on the country and the rest of us are quite neutralized, and any sign that we are not will be met with force. That is why we are reading articles like this one where nothing which is done by the Deep State can be looked into by the people who are supposed to keep those in authority in check. I know in my heart that this will not stop unless God acts, for those who lust for absolute power will use any means or any method to get it. COVID19 shows just how malleable the American population is and the would be tyrants are tightening the screws at every turn. Look at the ridiculous CA rules for eating while wearing your mask to see how crazy things are getting. I pray every day that God will spare this wonderful country of freedom for all, but, when I view the society, as a whole and how quickly affluence has corrupted us, I struggle to keep my hopes up.

Wray needs not only to be fired …

If Trump is elected to a second term Wray will be gone before the New Year.

It’s campaign season beltway theater. Johnson could have gotten the Hunter Biden FBI info if he really wanted it. He didn’t. Just had to pretend he did to reelect McConnell, Graham, etc..

Obama had 8 years to clear all agencies of conservatives, so even installing a new outside conservative, we’re faced with an opposing army.

This is outrageous. It makes my blood pressure go up.
I’m sick of Wray. And I am sick of others within the FBI.
When Trump wins, he must fire Wray and appoint Richard Greennel as FBI Director. Director Greenel will clean up that corrupt organization.

Send Marines in to clear out and to confiscate FBI HQ. Take control back for the people.
