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.

Investigate, hearings, and threats. And then it magically goes away. I think we’ve seen this template before.

What is “alleged” ? The facts state loud and clear nothing is “alleged”. biden crime family continues unimpeded while the fbi and justice dept. laughs at the facts

The difference is that the leadership of the DOJ is (and was, even during Trump's presidency) on the dems' side, and the "J6 committee" uses them to force their political enemies to either

1) Comply with political sunpoenas and give testimony which one way or another will be twisted to make Trump and others appear guilty, or

2) Get real prison sentences (unlike Hillary, Clapper, Brennan)

Hunter’s contact list on his phone included members of the FBI.

FBI Whistleblowers - its about damn time. I’m thinking this time, it’s not merely politics. Hunter is a sick bastard and they probably couldn’t stomach what they saw being covered up. Walking around naked smoking crack in front of his underage niece.

This can't be true. Sean Hannity assured me that the rank and file FBI agents were hard-working loyal Americans who were just doing their jobs.

Hannity is the "Controlled Opposition", a partisan who fakes being on a political side to keep the damage low and revelations few.

You can’t fight leftists when you’re in bed by nine.>>>>>>>>>>>>

A Senator like Grassly has extraordinary powers of delegation. He can easily hand it over to the night shift staff and meet them for breakfast, bright eyed and bushy tailed.

The FBI needs to be shut down , reorganized and renamed with new leadership of apolitical law enforcement patriots. Same with the DOJ.

Im not so sure of Grassley’ s opinions.

Everytime he gets up to speak in the house, (God bless him) he reinvents
the wheel.

its like Grassley is a older brother

the turtle Mitch McConnell.

The fbi is hopelessly corrupt and has been since the hoover era. It really needs to end.
A real law enforcement plan needs to replace it.

As if we didn’t know that the FBI and Justice Department isn’t corrupt... that’s been the case since the Obama Adminstration.

It’s time for a Senate inquiry into the “media” RAT influencers in the “media” and the lies they are spreading to the American population.
