EXCLUSIVE: FBI Stonewalling Congressional Oversight On Hunter Biden
The FBI is refusing to provide answers to a congressional inquiry pertaining to Hunter Biden's potentially criminal overseas business activity.

The FBI is refusing to provide answers to a congressional inquiry pertaining to Hunter Biden’s potentially criminal overseas business activity revealed in a Senate report last month that chronicles the Biden family’s conflicts of interest abroad.
Last week, Ohio Republican Rep. Jim Jordan, who serves as the ranking member on the House Judiciary Committee, demanded the federal law enforcement agency provide answers on what actions it took, if any, upon reports from the Justice Department in 2015 that the owner of the Ukrainian energy firm Burisma paid a $7 million bribe to Ukraine officials to shut down an investigation. Hunter Biden is on Burisma’s board despite no prior experience in the industry.
The existence of such reports from the DOJ became public in the long-anticipated findings released by a three-year Senate investigation spearheaded by Republican Sens. Chuck Grassley of Iowa and Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, who lead the Finance Committee and Homeland Security Committee, respectively.
“The report by Chairman Johnson and Chairman Grassley shows that the FBI has been aware of some alleged misconduct for years,” wrote Jordan upon the Senate probe’s conclusion.

Meanwhile, CIA Director Gina Haspel has come under fire from congressional lawmakers for stonewalling requests critical to the institution’s duty of effective oversight. Senior U.S. intelligence officials told The Federalist this week that Haspel is deliberately blocking the release of key Russiagate documents in hopes that Trump loses in November.
Johnson and Grassley demanded in a Wednesday letter Haspel comply with their summer request for records after two months of no response.
“The American people have a right to know the full extent of official action taken by federal officials during the 2016 campaign, the presidential transition, and into the Trump administration,” Grassley and Johnson wrote. “The information that has already been made public reveals what might be the most outrageous abuse of power in U.S. history against a presidential candidate and sitting president. Unfortunately, many of the puzzle pieces remain hidden, and some of that information rests within your agency.”
Comment:
Democrats and the "Deep State" are hoping to cover it up should Biden get elected.
Indeed, Wray as FBI director has been stonewalling Congress and it's investigation . They’re trying to run out the clock until the election.
Same with the FBI ignoring Trump’s declassification order on the Russia Collusion documents. That, too, will be ignored until after the election.
In a better and honest world, a Constitution-respecting Congress would impeach and remove corrupt elite bureaucrats of the constitutionally undefined FBI.
The FBI has been corupted and used by the Progressive Marxist Socialist/DSA Democrat Left.
Lest we forget. the FIB has imprisoned and burn alive the innocent and gotten away with it.
They believe they are above Congress and the People's elected president.
