GOP Sen. Chuck Grassley alleges widespread effort in FBI, Justice Dept to downplay negative information about Hunter Biden
cbs ^ | 7/25/22

Posted on 07/25/2022 6:16:59 PM PDT by Pollard

"Highly credible" whistleblowers have come forward to a senior Senate Republican alleging a widespread effort within the FBI to downplay or discredit negative information about President Joe Biden's son, Hunter Biden, according to letters reviewed by CBS News.

"The information provided to my office involves concerns about the FBI's receipt and use of derogatory information relating to Hunter Biden, and the FBI's false portrayal of acquired evidence as disinformation," GOP Sen. Chuck Grassley wrote FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland on July 25. "The volume and consistency of these allegations substantiate their credibility and necessitate this letter."

Grassley, the ranking member on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said the whistleblowers alleged that legitimate streams of information and intelligence about the president's son were characterized as likely disinformation or prematurely shut down leading up to the 2020 presidential election.

Peter Strok’s, or whatever his name is, testimony should have scared the crap out of anyone. The fact that an obviously mentally insane individual is installed at the upper levels of the FBI should have been apparent to anyone watching. WTF? The FBI needs to be cleaned out from the top down if not disbanded altogether. How can someone like that can actually be put in that position of authority amazes me.

Simplest threat...cut-off filling empty billets. Carry out a threat for an entire year that as retiring agents leave...no one fills the billets.

Maybe after the midterms we can use the effort being wasted on the “J6 committee” could be to look at, and maybe even fix, real abuses like this.

The Biden administration and the whole Justice Dept has been weaponized by the Deep State.

Hunter Biden crimes will be found to be on such a low level that he will be let off with a slap on the wrist.

No mention of Joe Biden having any knowledge of any wrong doing.

All before the midterm elections.

The’big guy’ will turn out to be Guy Benson.

Somebody should come up with a complete list in graphic form of all the politically based abuses by the F.BI. and DOJ in the last few years. All the Russia, Russia, Russia stuff - Mike Flynn —Roger Stone — FISA abuse — Whitmer entrapment — arrest of all the J6 defendants, Ashley Babbitt murder, Roseanne Boyland beating, Not investigating riots, not investigating clear election fraud, nor investigating Hunter Biden or the rest of the Biden family for money laundering and influence as revealed by laptop from Hell. Also, the child pornography, possible pedophilia from laptop and gun purchase violation. Sending feds to school board meetings, labelling parents as domestic terrorists. Serving a search warrant on reporter O’Keefes house to get back diary and seizing phones and checking calls. Arrest of Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro. etc..

As corrupt as Congress is right now, it’s hard to imagine it overseeing
the FBI, but the thought was a good one. Committees should be set up to
take out inside-traders like the Pelosi family and others.

The Justice department has gone rogue. The Jan 06 suspects have been
treated like a third world nation would be treat its political prisoners.

People who are defaming others like Schiff, Cheney, AOC, and others should
be impeached, removed.

The place stinks to high heavens.

Good piece! That letter is actually quite serious. Let’s see if Wray and Garland actually do something about it.

If they don’t, they need to be impeached. Right after Biden and Mayorkis.

We’ll find out if Mitch and McCarthy are completely compromised.

The FBI is the SS now. Merrick Garland and Christopher Wray are frauds.

The Demonnazis will not give up power without a deadly fight, IMHO…

I was under the impression that Grassley’s whistleblower org was highly regarded but on the other hand the FISA judges should be too but they were lied to and nothing happened. Supreme court leak, nothing’s happening so ...

Hardly surprising. J. Edgar Hoover used to blackmail politicians with the inside scoops that he had. So long as they played ball with him, he sat on the information. Same thing here, except with the stories out, they are doing damage control unless and until Foe Brandon stops playing ball.
