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.”

They should close the FBI building down, move everyone to offices around the country, maybe like other agencies half will quit. There is no reason today for all of the government agencies to be concentrated in DC. Move them!

Don’t you think that CCP is paying off FBI?

These horribly corrupt fed agencies like FBI and DEA have to be getting payoffs from CCP.

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

Partner, agree on all points.

The so-called 95% of the good people at the FBI need to be arrested and sent to Gitmo.

FBI admission (my version)

We knew all along, and when it comes out we’ll be fired, prosecuted or both!
