FBI told Hunter Biden investigator to Duck Committee questions, Bombshell letter shows
NY Post ^ | 7/18/23 | Steven Nelson and Josh Christenson

WASHINGTON — The FBI Warned a supervisory agent who investigated Hunter Biden that he was expected to “decline to respond” to House Oversight Committee questions about the “ongoing” case involving the first son, a bombshell letter obtained by The Post shows.

FBI general counsel Jason Jones sent the letter Sunday afternoon, just hours before the agent was set to testify — even though a source tells The Post that the FBI knew of a scheduled Monday deposition for several days.

“[T]he Department expects that you will decline to respond to questions seeking non-public information likely covered by one or more components of executive privilege or other significant confidentiality interests, in particular information about deliberations or ongoing investigative activity in law enforcement matters,” Jones wrote.

“You should instead refer such questions to the FBI’s Office of Congressional Affairs,” the FBI lawyer went on.

“This will afford the Department the full opportunity to consider particular questions and possible accommodations that may fulfill the Committee’s legitimate need for information while PROTECTING Executive Branch confidentiality interests.”

And justice will prevail?

Even if they’re obstructing justice will anyone lose their job or face prosecution? Think again.

Our people have a job to do and they’ll do it. The end results will come up short.

Confidentiality regarding extortion as vice president and then private citizen, is what the FBI claims it needs to maintain? Really?

UFB X 20!

That doesn’t matter. Just like if Obama were screwing little boys in public in Times square would not matter.
All that matters to Democrats is party doctrine and Dogma.

You Win the Internet!

And I want to remind everyone they can waive their riles whenever they please.

Comey spoke about an Open Investigation of Trump - citing the importance to respond outweighing their policy. He did it multiple times.

The issue here is the Republicans are slow walking things for a reason.

Republicans have never used Impeachment (of a President).

And Congress, currently under Republican majority, could have and should have defunded the corrupt FIB yet they do nothing but allow Wray to come speak and make them look like fools.

Efrem Zimbalist, Jr. would have said “Just tell the truth in court and testify what you know personally.”

Around the years Jimi Hendrix was playing at Monterey and the Graduate and Easy Rider were at the single screen local theaters.

But we know the truth is passe for the FBI now.

Now that’s just silly! Trump wasn’t even born when the Lindbergh baby was kidnapped. But he was alive during the attack on the White House and Congress in 1954 by Puerto Rican nationalists. Lots of Puerto Ricans lived in NYC at the time. I’m sure he was involved. We all know it’s just the kind of thing he would do.

I understand he made a choice different from the directives in the Letter.

I believe he’s retired.

We need to coin a new word for the now very common practice of obstructing justice by means of fake investigation.
