FBI Director Kash Patel announced earlier this month that the bureau located an intelligence report from August 2020 that detailed "alarming allegations" regarding an apparent Chinese communist plot to interfere in the presidential election for the benefit of then-candidate Joe Biden.
Such allegations, if brought to light at the time, would have vindicated the concerns about voter fraud and foreign election interference then expressed by President Donald Trump and former Attorney General Bill Barr, which were written off by election officials, Democrats, and the liberal media as "unfounded" and "preposterous."
Instead, elements of the intelligence community apparently covered up the alleged foreign election interference campaign.
"Former FBI leadership withheld the facts and misled the public on China's 2020 election interference," Patel stated on Thursday. "And they did so for political gain."
Patel noted in a separate message, "We're restoring trust — through transparency, not politics."
Mike Howell, president of the Oversight Project, sent a criminal referral for former FBI Director Christopher Wray to the Department of Justice on Thursday, seeking accountability not only for Wray's alleged role in the apparent cover-up but for his alleged false or misleading statements to Congress regarding the infamous FBI memo targeting traditional Catholics.
Election interference cover-up
The referral obtained by Blaze News, which was also sent to Director Patel's office on Thursday, alleges that Wray violated federal law by giving false and misleading testimony to Congress on the topic of known voter fraud efforts.
On Sept. 24, 2020, Wray told the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee that the FBI had "not seen, historically, any kind of coordinated national voter fraud effort in a major election, whether it's by mail or otherwise."
On March 2, 2021, Wray suggested to the Senate Judiciary Committee that the FBI was "not aware of any widespread evidence of voter fraud, much less that would have affected the outcome of the presidential election."
Hearings……..reports……..referrals………and nothing happens.
Wake me when someone is indicted.
It was a strongly worded referral.
Ditto
“Patel noted in a separate message, “We’re restoring trust — through transparency, not politics.””
Patel is confusing the present with the future tense.
It may be that he restores trust in the future—but for the present it has not happened.
(I am not even going to mention the Epstein files—lol.)
I remember the afternoon in January 2021 when a reporter sitting outside Mcconnell’s office watched Barr and then Haspel go in and and out with broad “mission accomplished” smiles.
Washington Kayfabe.
May have been Nov 2020
“Exclusive: Oversight Project refers former FBI Director Wray to DOJ for criminal charges”
headline is misleading clickbait nonsense: private groups “making referrals for prosecution” to the DoJ don’t mean jacksquat ... you or i could make such referrals, for example, as many as we wanted, actually ... you think that would mean anything?
Exactly, have grown tired of these hearings. Last time it was Gowdy and Chaffetz with the endless hearings and nothing got done.
They are all on the same side. We are on our own.
And Jim Jordan and Comer.
Sorry nothing has ever happened to bring Brennan, Wray, Comey and the many others close to them to justice.
I’ll check in once in a while and wake you if justice within the legal system ever becomes a reality.💤💤💤💤💤💤💤💤💤
But when the left wants “justice” they just steamroll people and toss them in the pokey right away.
Exactly
“ Hearings……..reports……..referrals………and nothing happens.

You cynicism is undeniably justified, to say the least.
Trust is earned.
*Your
Wray better steal himself because a stern letter is coming
Wake me when Wray is perp-walked in chains ⛓️

Nothing but clickbait nonsense. Criminal prosecutions require actual evidence, not mere speculation, and the full elements of the crime charged have to be proven beyond any reasonable doubt.
This isn’t that case.
The oversight project? I take it to be an organization with no actual political power?
