DOJ tells Jordan FBI subpoenas can't 'be enforced,' warns Hunter Biden inquiry 'ongoing'
Washington examiner ^ | 8/29/23 | Ashley Oliver

Posted on 08/29/2023 9:13:13 PM PDT by CFW

The Department of Justice informed the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday night that it would not cooperate with subpoenas for two FBI agents involved in the department's investigation of Hunter Biden because of the committee's stipulations for their depositions.

Carlos Uriarte, DOJ assistant attorney general, claimed in a letter obtained by the Washington Examiner to committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) that his subpoenas to the two agents "lack legal effect and cannot constitutionally be enforced" because Jordan had prohibited DOJ lawyers at their depositions.

"The subpoenas issued by the Committee prohibit the attendance of agency counsel at appearances by two FBI employees where the Committee has indicated it will ask questions regarding information they learned within the scope of their official duties, including regarding the ongoing criminal investigation," Uriarte wrote.

He also noted that compelling testimony from the pair of FBI officials, special agents Thomas Sobocinski and Ryeshia Holley of the FBI's Baltimore Field Office, "was premature."

“When Uriarte states in his smarmy fashion that the “most appropriate time” for Jordan’s witness questioning is “”after the matter is closed,” everyone knows that time will come long after the 2024 election is over.”


Which was the reason for the special counsel being appointed. Now, no information can be released since there is an “on-going” investigation(which has been “ongoing” for several years now). Just a few more statute of limitations need to expire, and the left needs to take back the House and win the Presidency next November, then all charges can quietly go away.

Send the House Sgt At Arms to arrest them. It’s been done before.

So, no Congressional oversight.

FBI = FSB = Stasi = Gestapo

No Congressional oversight should mean no Congressional approval for funding.

Will they have the stones to do what needs to be done?

The Dem's golden dream in a nutshell.

A dream to be rendered into nightmare by the Impeachment of Joe Biden--in all the months of gory detail.

If the subpoenas are not honored then congress should proceed with contempt and arrest. It is time they stopped listening to the DOJ.

The Humper Biden inquiry might end on the day he dies, but even that is not certain.

How do you say “cover-up” in legalese? Let’s try with “Garland and cronies”.

“All this bogus shucking & jiving will come to an abrupt halt once Biden’s Impeachment investigation gets underway. The investigatory powers of the Congressional Impeachment Committee is absolute. Uriarte and his ilk will have to cough-up every last iota of Biden’s criminal activity and watch helplessly as The Big Guy goes down in flames.”

Never gonna happen, McCarthy would have to grow some testicles.

Remember how the House voted Eric Holder guilty of Contempt of Congress, and then they arrested him? Oh, wait....

Uriarte was born on December 10, 1979, in San Leandro, California

Find a county DA anywhere in the US to indict them on RICO charges. Drag their butts in for arrest.

That’s fine. Send the Sergeant At Arms to arrest Garland and Wray.
