Sen. Charles Grassley's and Rep. James Comer's subpoena to the FBI to release an unclassified document it holds about a whistleblower allegation of a "criminal scheme" involving Joe Biden, is nominally about whether the FBI ever bothers to investigate allegations of crime involving Democrats.
And that's a well and worthy aim, given that Comer is the chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability, and Republicans are casting a spotlight on the illegal politicization seen in that law enforcement agency.
"We believe the FBI possesses an unclassified internal document that includes very serious and detailed allegations implicating the current President of the United States. What we don't know is what, if anything, the FBI has done to verify these claims or investigate further. The FBI's recent history of botching politically charged investigations demands close congressional oversight," Grassley said.
Did they do anything? Bribery, which is what Comer suggested the matter involved, is an explicitly impeachable offense. Did the bureau act on an actual bribery allegation by a whistleblower? Or did they kick back and yawn, focusing on pro-life activists, angry parents at school board meetings, Latin mass enthusiasts, and President Trump's disputes with the National Archives instead?
That's their job.
But the bribery allegation itself is worth looking at.
After all, many Americans want to know how Joe Biden accumulated a fortune worth tens of millions of dollars or perhaps hundreds of millions while in public office. The phenomenon of public officials getting rich while in office been going on for awhile, but under Joe Biden, the fortunes are getting bigger and the impunity is more shameless. The kind of money seen now is what used to be seen in public officials from places like Mexico, Brazil, Ecuador, Argentina,

Jonathan Turley comments on all this, and throws a bit of cold water on my hopeful speculation. He strongly suspects that the Zhou regime[Biden] will attempt some legal hanky panky:

Sen. Grassley just confirmed that a subpoena has been issued that alleges a criminal scheme involving then Vice President Joe Biden based on "very credible" information from a whistleblower. They are seeking a specific document detailing the alleged scheme.
Chairman Comer has confirmed that the whistleblower is alleging a specific "bribery scheme with a foreign national." The document appears to lay out the alleged allegations and Grassley confirmed that he has not seen the document.
Grassley just told Fox that he is concerned that this unclassified document could be "suddenly classified." The Congress is also likely to face claims of privilege over ongoing investigations.
Now the Washington Post is … reporting that Weiss is close to a "charging decision" on Hunter Biden. The Justice Department is likely to use that ongoing investigation as a basis to withhold this document and other information.
The thing about the way we live now is this. While it’s apparent that there are highly placed people who want Zhou gone yesterday, no scandal seems to be able to gain the degree of traction necessary to bring about that result. The American people no longer seem to care about corruption in high places, and the MSM certainly doesn’t evince any concern about corruption—no matter how grotesque—when its “their guys”. The “What if Trump” standard just doesn’t apply.
Which is perfectly true. But the matter will be out there for the public, weighing its voting choices, provided the Bidenites are unsuccessful in suppressing this news.
In third world countries like the US the “leaders” steal everything they can get their hands on...and get away with it.
This is a big yawn.
This is a Democrat effort to get rid of Biden while making Republicans look mean.
Why the bombshell Joe Biden bribery allegation Don’t Matter (fixed it!)
Read the header again. DOH-j....😴😴😴😴😴
Republicans need to grow a spine and pay back these criminal, communist democRATs... good and hard.
With no law enforcement, there is no law.
With no law, only politics prevails.
When politics prevails as the only solution, elections must be fair and accurate.
When elections are not fair, and law enforcement promotes the fraud, there is no longer any freedom.
In that event, the people have a right to change their government.
Laws aren’t worth the paper they’re written on if there is no equal enforcement
Agree, Garland only protects Biden. End of story.
And Democrats will cheat again and reelect Biden.
The country is doomed to 3rd world banana republic status.

Means nothing. Smoke&mirrors, until such time as an impeachment starts.
BeijingBiden was criminal when he withheld funds from Ukraine until they fired the prosecutor. He had no authority to do that and did it to enrich his family.
But what am I thinking, it seems that the tough guys in congress like to ask tough questions and are happy to get 'buzz off' as an answer because now they can say they tried without really trying.
Wray will hide it until after the election.
Hide it? That document hit the shredder days ago. No way will Grassley or Comer ever see it.
How many bank accounts does the Biden family have in Switzerland, Panama, and the Virgin Islands? Inquiring minds want to know.
They own property in the Virgin Islands. Of course they launder bribes down there.
