Two of the FBI agents most closely identified with the FBI’s politicized operation to smother the Hunter Biden corruption scandal are facing their first taste of accountability.
Nikki Floris and Bradley Benavides were charged Friday with allegedly lying to Congress about Hunter Biden’s laptop.
...
Floris had been the deputy assistant director of the FBI and “functional head” of the bureau’s Foreign Influence Task Force, which ran a covert operation before the 2020 election called “Round River,” specifically to collect all derogatory reports about Hunter Biden from FBI informants and falsely flag them as “Russian disinformation.”
Benavides was the Section Chief of FITF, and he and Floris were “active participants in regularly classified briefings they hosted for the FBI agents and prosecutors on the Hunter Biden case, prosecutors allege.
Yet Benavides also professed ignorance when he testified to the House Judiciary Committee, claiming he only became aware of the FBI’s possession and investigation of Hunter’s laptop because he read a “Wikipedia article” while preparing his testimony.
Prosecutors allege the pair requested frequent briefings from the Hunter Biden case team.
After The Post broke the story about the laptop in October 2020, they convened multiple meetings to handle the fallout, even writing talking points for FBI Director Chris Wray.
...
Benavides had known since as early as March 2019 about allegations that Hunter Biden had received millions of dollars from foreign entities when his father was vice president.
...
Floris left the FBI last May for a lucrative job at Microsoft, where she joined her former mentor Lisa Monaco, the deputy AG who directed most of the lawfare against Trump and his allies during the Biden years.
Benavides retired from the FBI in 2022 and was also parachuted into a plum job at Amazon as a senior risk manager.

They should be hung by their thumbs and repeatedly poked by a red hot poker. Treason should be punished with cruel torture.
Partisan influence on an election isn’t ‘treason’! It’s all justifiable if they are on the ‘other team’. All is fair in love and politics. As Obama warned: Elections have consequences. The only side that shouldn’t be allowed to weaponize the functions and duties of the FBI and DOJ are republicans! Silly silly goose. It’s all for a good cause if you can keep your team in power. /S
Charge them with espionage.....that’s a capital offense.
‘ang ‘em, along with Wray and Comey.
These bastards helped put that nation killing traitor in the White House. The damage will last for decades and some things will never recover. They should never know freedom again.
Dumb FBI agents following the orders of commissars should be severely punished. However the New York Times and the MSM that followed its lead, purposely never reported or investigated the Hunter Biden laptop and made the Biden election possible. They can never be forgiven or trusted again.

Of course those two landed sweet private sector jobs with leftist companies.

So this high-ranking FBI agent had the job of promoting pro-Biden propaganda. sounds highly political.
Also, who gave them this agent this task?
Why does Microsoft need ex government spooks?

Just d-mn.

Only two agents ? Sounds a bit odd don’t ya think ?
Well, you know why. So they can paid off discretely by the
Democrat Party for their treachery and
and their crimes against the Republic.
Lying to Congress will get them a slap on the wrist. They should get the death penalty.
