James Comer Rejects FBI’s Offer To Show Him Documents He's Requesting In Biden Probe

The Oversight Committee chair doesn't just want to see the paperwork detailing a supposed bribery scheme — he wants to see it in his office. Why? Unclear.

"House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) has refused an offer from the FBI to view documents he’s requesting as part of an investigation into President Joe Biden. On Wednesday, bureau Director Christopher Wray spoke by phone with Comer and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) about the paperwork — a form reflecting a tip to the FBI that allegedly implicates Biden in some kind of bribery scheme from his time as vice president. Afterward, Comer said in a statement that Wray “offered to allow us to see the documents in person at FBI headquarters,” but that seeing the material isn’t good enough — he wants to have the paperwork in his office.

Comer asked for the tip form earlier this month with a congressional subpoena. “Recording the information does not validate the information, establish its credibility, or weigh it against other information known or developed by the FBI,” wrote Christopher Dunham, the FBI’s acting assistant director for congressional affairs. If Republicans don’t receive the form, Comer said, they will move forward with a resolution to hold Wray in contempt of Congress. Republicans could file a lawsuit asking a court to enforce the subpoena - though the fact that the FBI has already shown a willingness to provide access to the material would likely hurt Republicans’ case in such a suit."


This was a brilliant and gutsy move by Rep. Comer....Raise hell about the FBI not allowing you to see documents, then when the FBI grants you access to those documents, raise hell about having to see those documents at a secured location instead of having them sent to you so you can make up what is in those documents. It is also a brilliant move to file contempt of Congress on Wray for not complying with a Congressional subpoena...anyone who refuses to comply with Congress' subpoena power needs to be locked and made an example of...as long as that Congress is GOP controlled of course.


But I do find it funny that Grassley basically comes out and admits that they are not concerned with finding out whether or not Biden actually committed a crime.....it's almost like he is admitting all of this is bullshit performance art just to entertain their ill-informed base.

What's the point? It's a nothing op-ed by somebody named Arthur Delaney for Huffington. Congress issues subpoenas. You don't get to make a deal to cover your ass.

Political power will be making the legal decisions and that's why the system has been so slow on moving against Trump.

His political popularity will determine his future as a free man or a grifter and a jailed criminal.

Basically that is common to the justice system of all countries.

America's justice agencies are betting that Trump has become vulnerable. His supporter are betting that he's still powerful enough to survive.

In other words, you are a moron....got it..




I also like how you ignored the fact that Grassley himself admitted he doesn't care if the allegations are accurate or not....and on top of that, he has already read the documents in question, and he still has ZERO......









Do you understand that these folks love to insult your intelligence? And you love it when they do it.....

Hey. Stupid. Yeah, you Pointlessdexter. The point of a House subpoena is for the responding party to turn over the material as directed IN the subpoena.

If the fucking director of the FBI has some legal issue with doing so, that’s fine. Challenge the subpoena in Court. Otherwise, comply with the subpoena.

Nobody is asking him to make a counter “offer.”

If the committee wants the documents, they have to take the DoJ to court.

Not the other way around.

Why do you morons keep dodging the fact that Republicans have already seen the documents??






On top of that, this was already reviewed by Trump's own Attorney General, Bill Barr..even assigned a prosecutor to look at it....and still...nothing.....yall are clowns....that is why I mock you morons...

False. The House Committee issued a subpoena. Compliance with the subpoena is a legal obligation. The Director chooses not to comply. He is now to be held in contempt of Congress. That used to mean something.

Enforcement of the contempt citation would require a criminal referral by the Committee to our politicized and corrupted DOJ. In turn, the DOJ can be safely expected to trash-can the referral, at least in THIS case, because the AG’s attitude is obviously “fuck the House when it’s under GOP control.”

Why do ass munchers, like you, continue to pretend that some Member or Members being “allowed” to see the document(s) in question constitutes compliance with a lawful subpoena?

Then why did the previous AG find it to be bullshit too??

Bullshit. A congressional subpoena to the executive branch is a separation of powers issue. Trump’s administration famously refused to comply with many subpoenas and no one expected the DoJ to charge any of them. The only time the AG has prosecuted contempt is when there was literally NO response whatsoever. The DoJ has explained why they’re not complying and offered to negotiate how they will comply.

If the committee wants to compel them, they have to take them to court. This is the way it’s always worked.

You’re clueless.

Clarity of thought is lacking in your question.

First of all...you dic suckers applauded when Trump cabinet members and even sitting members of congress, ignored subpoenas....so spare me the pearl clutching over subpoenas....they have access to them.....just like many other times they had to review documents in secured locations......

No no. You’re simply being a mindless drone again. Well, pretty much always.

Separation of powers exists for a variety of reasons. One of the big reasons is to keep the power of government properly reined in pursuant to our Constitutional design.

Here, the House has a right and duty to oversee the actions of our Executive Branch. That’s why, when they issue a subpoena, it has the force of law.

As I already noted, it is certainly possible that the Executive Branch might see the issued subpoena as an overreach. At that point, the proper legal response isn’t to ignore the subpoena or simply refuse to comply. The proper course is to contest it in court. (The Judicial Branch is especially designed to resolve such dispute.)

The bottom line, once again, is that you are absolutely totally full of shit.

Why doesn't Grassley care if the accusations are true or not? Why did he say "I don't know" when he had read the same documents they are asking for now?? Because they know morons like you love performance art..make-believe shit....because the facts and reality are seldom on your side....so yall keep playing dress up and fantasy games
