GRASSLEY: ‘Highly Credible’ FBI Whistleblowers Say Efforts Were Made to Protect Hunter Biden
https://www.thefirsttv.com ^ | JULY 26, 2022 | Staff

Grassley just dropped a bombshell.

According to a report from CBS News, Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) says several “highly credible” sources from within the FBI have contacted him suggesting Hunter Biden was strategically protected from negative media attention.

There was a concerted effort to bury negative stories.

“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.”

“NEW: Multiple “highly credible” FBI whistleblowers have come forward to senior Senate Republican @ChuckGrassley alleging widespread effort to downplay or discredit negative information about the President’s son Hunter Biden, according to letters,” Herridge tweeted.

From CBS NEWS:

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.

Grassley cited a 2020 FBI intelligence assessment that was “used by an FBI headquarters team to improperly discredit negative Hunter Biden information as disinformation.” He continued, “Based on allegations, verified and verifiable derogatory information on Hunter Biden was falsely labeled as disinformation.”

Grassley is worrying about things that happened years ago. This guy needs to retire from Congress.

Coverup of a crime is also a crime.

Joe Biden must be resisting the demand he not seek a second term. The communists will weaponize the Hunter story to push Joe out so the primary field for 2024 is wide open (which crushes Kamala’s chances as well).

Duh.

Pulling punches. “Highly credible whistleblower”? Weak.

How about “So obvious Stevie Wonder saw it coming”

Yup. I can see the negotiations now: Hey Mummy, this is the perfect time to bow out gracefully. You got the virus. You got long term effects. Get it, you can make it look like you are doing it for the Country. You will be a hero Bidet but if you dig in your heals, the fallout from the Hunter stuff will gobble you up and you will go down worse then we did to that guy Nixon who won 49 states but we got him anyway.

And now we have bought and paid for CCP agents in the White House.

All that participated in this should be fired, at the least. Some must be prosecuted for such malfeasance.

Timing of this on the heels of articles saying DOJ was working out some sort of plea deal with Hunter suggests Grassley knows it’s going to be a big joke that doesn’t even raise to the level of a slap on the wrist and Grassley is getting in front of it with preemptive strike saying “it’s fixed, it’s always been fixed.”

They didn’t have to bother. The news media already take it upon themselves to protect Hunter by not reporting on it and sending the stories down the memory hole.

Just TRY to look for stories on the most recent hack on Hunter’s iCloud account from only 2 weeks ago. The only stories from mainstream sources I can find are ones that mention the fact that the secret service is aware of the hack. Won’t find any stories on what was found through the hack.

I do appreciate Senator Grassley, but really? “Hey look, there’s somebody’s life being destroyed. I think I’ll write a letter”.
