Grassley vs. The Deep State

Yesterday, Senator Charles Grassley, the ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, sent a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray.  

According to Sen. Grassley, multiple “highly credible whistleblowers” have provided information indicating that key FBI and Justice Department officials appear to have run a campaign to discredit and dismiss any information about Hunter Biden’s criminality as “disinformation.”

You’ll recall that 50 former intelligence and national security officials published an open letter just before the 2020 election dismissing Hunter’s laptop as “Russian disinformation.” 

CBS News (not exactly a hotbed of “right-wing conspiracy theories”) reported months ago that various banks flagged 150 financial transactions involving Hunter or James Biden (the president’s brother) as “suspicious.” 

If you have one flagged transaction, federal officials will quickly start demanding answers. But the Biden crime family can have 150 flagged transactions, and federal law enforcement is uninterested.

Grassley is demanding answers from Garland and Wray by August 8th. 

He also warned Garland and Wray that they have “systemic and existential problems within” their agencies, and that the Department of Justice and the FBI may be “institutionally corrupted to their very core” to such a degree that “the American people will have no confidence in the equal application of the law.”

For a member of Congress of Grassley’s stature to level such a charge against the Department of Justice and the FBI should be headline news. 

Kudos to Sen. Grassley for trying to hold their feet to the fire. But I’m not holding my breath waiting for a meaningful response. 

Meanwhile, rumors abound in Washington that the investigation into Hunter Biden is at a “critical juncture.” I suspect that means Hunter is on the verge of being completely exonerated in the next few weeks, even though the evidence of corruption involving America’s enemies is overwhelming.
