By The FirstA new report claims Senate Judiciary Committee boss Chuck Grassley believes the FBI and DOJ may have “buried dirt” on Hunter Biden to protect his father.
From the NY Post:
The FBI and Justice Department have been accused by “highly credible whistleblowers” of burying “verified and verifiable” dirt on President Biden’s troubled son Hunter by incorrectly dismissing the intelligence as “disinformation,” according to Sen. Chuck Grassley.
The ranking member on the Senate Judiciary Committee made the explosive claims Monday in an official Senate letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland.
He insisted the allegations were so serious, they would prove — if confirmed — that both offices were “institutionally corrupted to their very core.”
Read Grassley’s full letter below:
Dear Attorney General Garland and Director Wray:
On May 31, 2022, I wrote to you regarding likely violations of Federal laws, regulations
and Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI’) guidelines by Assistant Special Agent in Charge
(“‘ASAC”) Timothy Thibault of the Washington Field Office (“WFO”) based on a pattern of
active public partisanship in his then public social media content. In that letter, I noted that
Congress has a constitutional responsibility to ensure that the Executive Branch executes the law
and uses taxpayer money appropriated to it in accordance with congressional intent. In
furtherance of that constitutional responsibility, Congress has an obligation to investigate the
Executive Branch for fraud, waste, abuse and gross mismanagement – acts which undermine
faith in the American people’s governmental institutions. Those constitutional and legislative
responsibilities apply to this letter to you. My letter also invited individuals, including current
and former government employees, to contact me and my office to confidentially report
allegations of fraud, waste, abuse and gross mismanagement by FBI and Justice Department
(“Department”) officials including, but not limited to, ASAC Thibault. In response, my office
has received a significant number of protected communications from highly credible
whistleblowers.
The information provided to my office involves concerns about the FBI’s receipt and use
of derogatory information relating to Hunter Biden, and the FBI’s false portrayal of acquired
evidence as disinformation. The volume and consistency of these allegations substantiate their
credibility and necessitate this letter.
First, it’s been alleged that the FBI developed information in 2020 about Hunter Biden’s
criminal financial and related activity. It is further alleged that in August 2020, FBI Supervisory
Intelligence Analyst Brian Auten opened an assessment which was used by a FBI Headquarters
(‘FBI HQ”) team to improperly discredit negative Hunter Biden information as disinformation
and caused investigative activity to cease. Based on allegations, verified and verifiable
derogatory information on Hunter Biden was falsely labeled as disinformation.
