FBI Director Facing Contempt Charges After Hiding Biden Bribery Document​

Katie Pavlich | May 25, 2023 12:45 PM

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is refusing to turn over a memo that allegedly shows then Vice President Joe Biden taking bribe money from a foreign actor in exchange for U.S. policy changes. The existence of the memo came to light when a whistleblower, who has obtained federal protections, got in touch with House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer and Senate Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Chuck Grassley about the information.

After weeks of stonewalling, Comer is vowing to move forward with contempt charges for FBI Director Christopher Wray if the subpoenaed document isn't delivered.

“The FBI’s refusal to provide this single document is obstructionist. Whistleblower disclosures that Joe Biden may have been involved in a criminal bribery scheme as Vice President track closely with what we are seeing in our investigation into the Biden family’s influence peddling schemes," Comer released in a statement. "Congress and the American people need to know what, if anything, the FBI did to verify the allegations contained within this record. If Director Wray refuses to hand over this unclassified record, the Oversight Committee will begin contempt of Congress proceedings."

Good luck on your expectations. When the shoe was on the other foot, you kept bitching about Congress not having subpoena powers, so I'm sure you still hold that position
 
So Christopher Wray sat on this the entire time that Trump was campaigning and trying to open investigations of Biden in 2020? That hardly seems likely.
 
If he is found in contempt, he would be the second Democrat AG with that finding.

I'm sensing a trend...
 
GO FUCK YOURSELF
Not only Republican, but appointed by Trump.

He only hires the best!

“I am proud to announce Christopher as my choice as the director of the FBI,” Trump said in a statement following his announcement on Twitter. “He is an impeccably qualified individual, and I know that he will again serve his country as a fierce guardian of the law and model of integrity once the Senate confirms him to lead the FBI.”

A rino is a rino is a rino.

Their one and only asset is convincing people that they aren't what they really are - democrats.
 
I sense the puppet Garland will forego any prosecution of those charges though.

Again, I sense a trend with this kind of thing.


At some point (not this year apparently) Congress needs to grow a pair of balls and give themselves some teeth to enforce the law against bureaucrats who willfully violate the law.

I'm thinking the FISA court would be a perfect place for this. Congress gives themselves the power to indict as an impeachment after official findings and passing a vote on those findings, then refer the package to the FISA for prosecution. FISA court appoints a special master to prosecute based solely on the findings in the record and the accused only has the right to private counsel for their defense.

A finding of guilty after trial is removal and a lifetime ban on public service in any capacity, loss of retirement benefits, and a fine equal to the costs of the investigation and prosecution without discretion of the court as to mitigation or extenuation. No other court has jurisdiction. Without jurisdiction there is no appeal so the verdict from FISA is final.

But, apparently the R's this year are just like the R's of yesteryear - ball-less and spineless. The proof is in the "deal" regarding the debt ceiling. Despite all the hardline tough talk and a majority in the House, they gave away the country to the D's again.

That might require a constitutional amendment and a complete rewrite of the FISA, no?

It could probably be done without the amendment but rewriting the Patriot Act would be a good thing.

In any event, that's why we pay congresscritters the big bux, to figure stuff like this out and get it implemented.

The FISC is a secret court. I think that presents problems for due process in the traditional sense when it comes to actual citizens. There are also problems with the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendments as well.

The FISC appears to be constitutional because it's a part of the SCOTUS and under the supposedly watchful eye of the Chief Justice. Courtrooms in public trials are often cleared when sensitive materials are testified to without infringing on that Right. This would be no different and the record could be made available after the verdict.

If it's not Constitutional, then we gots us some big problems with all those search warrants and stuff the FISC issued.

Any finding by Congress would be a matter of public record. No 4A issues there. No one testifying before Congress is being forced to testify against themselves because they still have the ability to invoke their Rights. And any accused would have the Right to independent counsel, just not at taxpayer expense unless they cannot afford an attorney. Something most pols in DC can certainly do.

Effectively this gets around the politicized DOJ refusing to prosecute for crimes against Congress while still serving justice and affording the accused due process at the same time.

Are you really trying to CYA by suggesting that Republican Christopher Wray is a secret Democrat?

Don’t post stupid crap, and your problem will be solved.

Here is an interesting article on the FISA, its procedures and some problems:

Why didn't Trump spot that Wray was such a RINO when he appointed him? He's not so great with his hiring procedures.
 
^ bootstrapping at its finest.
Trump thought he was still on the TV set when he chose candidates on the basis of their bullshittery. Trouble was, he forgot the last episode when they had people actually check for lies in the resumé.
