FBI refuses to give Congress informant file alleging Biden took bribes as vice president
NY Post ^ | 05/10/2023 | Steven Nelson

WASHINGTON — The FBI has refused to give Congress an informant file alleging that President Biden took bribes while he was vice president, The Post has learned — setting up a possible showdown over access to the information.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) issued a legally binding subpoena last week requiring the FBI to turn over the file by noon Wednesday, but the FBI responded instead with a six-page letter raising various objections.

“Information from confidential human sources is unverified and, by definition, incomplete,” wrote FBI acting assistant director for congressional affairs Christopher Dunham, who also argued that informant reports must also be kept private to protect the sources of allegations.

“God is going to have to intervene.”

I believe He’s had enough of this nonsense and has turned His back.

State Department. They are the coordinating party to most of them.

“Cut the fbi budget to $0. Why would you pay for crap like that?”

Easy prediction...congress will reward the FBI with billions of dollars in the next budget.

As if Congress would actually do anything about it if the FBI did give them the paperwork. It is all just Kabuki theater


The House can publicize what it finds out. Whether the MSM will let low-information voters, or if the l-i voters care is another matter. Don’t know if Biden can be impeached for what he did before becoming President, but no matter what they find, the dems in the Senate would never convict.

So, yes it is Kabuki theater. But Kabuki is fun to watch and there is a lot of action involved. In addition, men play the women’s roles, so it is a perfect metaphor for the Brandon administration

I believe there is a way that congress can cut the FBI off financially without anyone else’s cooperation. So lets do it already.

That’s exactly what they do.

Indicating Congress supports their Actions.

No other Conclusion.

Defund the FBI now. They are unaccountable and acting only in the interest of the corrupt.

The best thing to happen from this is exactly what it says in the headline. If the FBI is refusing to cooperate, that’s a sign of guilt and everyone understands that.

You are correct. Defund the State Department as well as the DOJ and FBI.

When is Congress going to get a pair of Gonads and seriously cut the Pay of these Senior managers at the FBI and the DOJ?

I’m tired of hearing that the Investigation is still ongoing after a Decade and that the Informants Info is Classified.

Congress do your Job.

Reduce the FBI budget to zero. If you don’t want to do your job, then why pay you?

“I believe He’s had enough of this nonsense and has turned His back.”

There is a good argument to be made that such is the case.

Defund it and dissolve it, and leave it to the fifty State police departments.

Are ANY Republicans even suggesting defunding or disbanding the FBI? I don’t even think Trump suggested that before and I wish he would.

“What they can’t do is arrest and prosecute.”

___________

You are so full of crap.

“In the U.S. and its territories, FBI special agents may make arrests for any federal offense committed in their presence or when they have reasonable grounds to believe that the person to be arrested has committed, or is committing, a felony violation of U.S. laws.”

“Federal law gives the FBI authority to investigate all federal crime not assigned exclusively to another federal agency (28, Section 533 of the U.S. Code). Title 28, U.S. Code, Section 533, authorizes the attorney general to appoint officials to detect and prosecute crimes against the United States.“
