The FBI and the DoJ are as corrupt as hell. Both need major overhauls and downsizing, starting at the top.
The U.S. attorney assigned to look into the Biden family’s deals in Ukraine, including allegations they pocketed a $10 million bribe, told House lawmakers his investigation was significantly hobbled by the Justice Department and FBI headquarters.
Scott Brady, who was the U.S. attorney for the Western District of Pennsylvania, described to lawmakers in a closed-door interview this week that the top brass at the FBI showed an intense interest in his investigation of the Bidens’ ties to a Ukraine energy company. The bureau, he said, tried to slow down or halt his investigation at every turn.
According to a transcript reviewed by The Washington Times, Mr. Brady said the FBI special agents he assigned to work on the investigation were frequently stalled or blocked from pursuing the case by top officials at FBI headquarters.
At one point his team was blocked for five months from advancing the investigation.
“It was incredibly challenging and we did not make much progress at all,” said Mr. Brady, who resigned as U.S. attorney in February 2021.
Mr. Brady was tasked in 2020 by Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen with determining the credibility of evidence and claims related to the Bidens and their business dealings in Ukraine.
A key piece of evidence under Mr. Brady’s review was the transcript of an interview with one of the FBI’s most credible confidential human sources who said he was told then-Vice President Biden and his son Hunter Biden each accepted a $5 million bribe from the owner of a Ukrainian energy firm, Burisma.
Mr. Brady determined the allegation was credible enough to warrant further investigation and alerted three U.S. attorney’s offices, including the Delaware office investigating Hunter Biden on tax fraud charges.
None of them followed up.
