The top Republican investigators in the House and Senate warn America may face a constitutional crisis, with the Director of the FBI facing possible Contempt of Congress charges for refusing to turn over a government document alleging a foreign national offered a $5 million bribe to then-Vice-President Joe Biden.
Senate Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Chuck Grassley (R-IA) and House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-KY) blasted FBI Director Christopher Wray for defying a congressional subpoena for an unclassified record “alleging a criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Joe Biden and a foreign national.”
“The document, an FBI-generated FD-1023 form, allegedly details an arrangement involving an exchange of money for policy decisions. In a new letter to Director Wray, Comer warns that if the FBI fails to produce the record by May 30, 2023, the Oversight Committee will initiate contempt of Congress proceedings,” Grassley reports in a statement.
“The FBI has continued to tie itself in knots to ignore a legitimate subpoena from Congress, which has a constitutional duty of oversight. The Bureau’s developed a serious reputation problem through its spate of failures and overreach, and leadership is doing it no favors by attempting to stiff-arm Congress. The FBI knows exactly what document Chairman Comer and I are seeking, and if they know us at all, they know we will get it, one way or another. If FBI leadership truly cares about protecting the agency’s reputation, they’d cooperate. These needless delays only harm the Bureau,” Grassley said.
“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. 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,” Comer said.
“Comer issued a subpoena for the unclassified FBI record on May 3, 2023 with a return date of May 10, 2023. After the FBI failed to produce the record, Oversight Committee counsel have attended two in-person meetings with FBI officials where they again refused to produce the FD-1023 form or offer any reasonable accommodation that would allow the Committee to review the document,” Grassley reports.
On May 16, 2023, Grassley and Comer requested a phone call with Director Wray to discuss the subpoena, but despite repeated requests the FBI has not scheduled a phone call.

Documents relating to the biden crime family are not evidence, yet, as the fbi continues to cover for them. Therefore, all info must be turned over to the Speaker for immediate investigation.
Withholding this information for this long is an attempt to stifle justice.
Since the democrats still hold the majority in the senate there is little the republican house can do to force the fbi to turn over that document. By the election of 2024 rolls around that document will most likely be long gone, and of course there won’t be a copy anyplace. Every department in our government needs purged, but unless the GOP wins everything in 2024, the house, senate and the white house, nothing will be done.
J. Edgar Hoover must be turning over in his grave seeing the current leadership of the FBI. Their job is NOT to protect the President but to enforce the Nation’s laws. Not properly responding to a valid subpoena shows that they no longer FOLLOW the law.

Do you think that Wray doesn’t realize he is breaking the law by non compliance of a congressional request to provide the documents they requested. Really. Based on what Obama’s people got away with do you really think he will face any more serious than a strongly worded letter of condemnation for non compliance to a letter a few congressmen sent him. He’s laughing in their face while kicking back with a cold while he Obama laugh at the plans they put in motion that will destroy America from the inside out.
This all theater and I’m willing to bet none of the actors will ever face an if they face ever receive any type of punishment of any significance. A loss of their license to practice law which they’ve never used or intend to use as support for income. Why would they start being a lawyer to support themselves from going to court over someone else’s parking tickets or traffic violations much less be ensconced in a high dollar law firm to do nothing at an exorbitant amount of money when the only thing they is backstabbing 101 and lying 202
Never in my life has a functional president been so overtly corrupt with such criminal behavior for not only himself, but for his entire family. He is there because of a STOLEN ELECTION and the LEFT keeps moving toward a Communist Dictatorship. Biden doesn’t bother about traditions; he believes he’s our first Communist Dictator. Wray is so dirty, you need to wash your hands if you shake his.
