Jim Jordan says Congress is going to press FBI head Wray on transparency regarding Biden document
S E E D E D C O N T E N T
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Oh.) says that during FBI Director Christopher Wray's upcoming testimony on Wednesday, the committee plans to press him on a document he kept from Congress and the American people.
"For example, this 1023 form that he just keeps dragging his feet on and won't let the full Congress see," Jordan said on the "Great American Show with Lou Dobbs."
"More importantly, he won't let the American people see this form from a confidential source that talks about this scheme that saw foreign nationals paying the Bidens," he continued. "And supposedly, according to this source, Joe Biden was going to do certain policy things in exchange for that money. So, you know, we should be able to get that form. We're going to continue to press on that."
Last month, Wray came under fire from House Republicans for not complying with a subpoena and not turning over an informant document on the Biden family investigation.
The form includes information provided to the bureau in June 2020 by a confidential human source alleging a bribery scheme involving President Biden when he was vice president. Lawmakers learned about the existence of the memo from FBI whistleblowers.
Jordan said later during the interview that House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is open to the idea of possibly impeaching Attorney General Merrick Garland, who has also been criticized for exercising his role in a partisan manner.
"There are some who have called for a real investigation into impeachment — kind of an impeachment inquiry there," Jordan stated. "We haven't moved down that road yet, although Speaker McCarthy has been clear when it comes to the Attorney General, Merrick Garland, that he is very open to an impeachment inquiry with the Attorney General. So we'll keep pressing."
Senator Ted Cruz called last month for Garland to be investigated over his alleged weaponization of the Department of Justice as whistleblowers claim the executive agency has acted improperly in politically sensitive investigations.

It should be an interesting day.
I'm sure we can count on jim jordan to expose the naked truth about any horrible injustice ...
Oh look, another meme that isn't even factual.
The only molester is the one the Democrats put in the White House.
How is Jordan protecting Brandon?
Well, he is an expert on not complying with a subpoena.
probably became that after seeing the FBI stonewall on compliance, eh?
Possibly, but not as interesting as today's NATO meeting. Then of course there is always Senator Tuberville's continuing attempts to make the US military as 'prepared' as Russia's.
We already are prepared as Russia's military.
We are scattered all over the damn planet protecting assets that most US voters don't even know about; and if they did would be sickened by it. Propping up regimes most US voters don't support. We are short on munitions, advanced armaments, and our commanders and CiC are more concerned about the troops being "woke" than actually preparing them for combat- much the less win a war.
Stuck with an administration that cares more about enforcing Ukraine's borders at any cost than our own. That seeks to control all media and information. Worried more about packing the Supreme Court so that it will rule their way; and trying to federalize all election laws in an attempt to get one party rule.
So Tuberville's wish is already granted. We are Russia. Thank the Democrats.
That one short sentence condemns all else you wrote to file 13.
The one that Joe Biden was too tired to attend? How so?
That was a dinner. He was at the meeting this morning looking quite spry. Change the channel occasionally.
The dinner is when the real discussions take place. The WH spokesmen/women said that Joe had 4 consecutive days of official business and needed a rest.
He was pooped!
Yes, I'm sure you've attended so many of them ... /S
He was pooped ... as would have been both you and I. [deleted]
Hey Hey now... He had a long day at the beach to recover from. You can't expect a President to go to the beach and have dinner with foreign leaders in the same week.
You think Presidents are supposed to work more than 20 hours a week or something?
The man's a hero
Having to change his depends is as good a reason as any.
He looked great at the beach, didn't he? They won't be using those photos for the campaign.
Let's hope not.
This would be the same form containing the allegation that the head of Burisma had audio tapes proving bribery by Biden, an allegation which the head of Burisma at the time is on record as denying ever happened.
If the House bathrooms run out of toilet paper they can use this "form" as a substitution.
The GOP plan is now totally apparent. Keep bringing this crap up every few weeks between now and the 2024 election. Facts be damned.
Pretty sure they still have a few more "whistleblowers" on standby, a few of them may not yet be fugitives from the law as well.
Seems whistleblowers are only legitimate and protected from government retaliation when they are testifying on Democrat's behalf.
If they are testifying against Brandon they are subject to retaliation from the FBI, DOJ, and IRS.
Maybe we should just take Joe's word for it all.
After all, there is no conflict between Joe saying repeatedly his son didn't do anything wrong and his son pleading guilty to wrongdoing, eh?
Gee, the whistleblowers are all bad guys now?
You tell me: Does this guy sound partisan or is he a criminal?
You seem as confused as the House republicans on the actual definition of "whistleblower".
Seems you have complete memory loss about what a whistleblower really is. Not surprising given the Democrat's bullshit for the last 7 years and counting.
Not a valid whistleblower Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman who was not present for the phone call; and cobbled together his information from second and third hand sources. None of which Democrats bothered to interview. Democrats accepted his testimony as gospel. Vindman was correctly removed from serving the White House for his action.
Valid whistleblower Gary Sharpley- whose team was removed from the Hunter Biden investigation after taking his concerns to Congress. Which would have hurt going forward with any court proceedings; but as we all know the fix was already in. There never was going to be a trial.
Stop listening to Brandon, DNC, and leftist talking heads.
So, in your opinions whistleblowers are former employees, with grudges, that except money from Trump to become whistleblowers?
Or are whistleblowers merely criminal fugitives who are working as an agent for China.
you have a special ability to read what isn't there.
After the last seven years and counting of Democrat bullshit investigations; all Democrats and leftists need to STFU and go away.
At least the Republicans are being open about their investigations. They aren't barring Democrats from participating; and they aren't leaking disinformation, lies, and claiming to have incriminating evidence that they never produce (looking at you bobblehead boy Schiff). The FBI, DOJ, and IRS are hindering these investigations at every turn. What are they protecting Brandon from? He and his family are innocent- he says so./S
LOL, guess again...
Disprove what Ronin said
I think, with the recent revelations about c3PJoe's penchant for screaming and dropping f bombs all over the white house, we should give him a new moniker instead of Brandon. I think "Old Yeller" would be appropriate LOL

Thanks for the info...............
That's a good read!
I prefer to forego the lost cause of educating him and to focus on the general humiliation of trump supporters.
Since when?
A rather unusual way to say "I can't".
Gee, you have managed to make it sound bad now that Republicans are doing what Democrats do.
Can you imagine if Cocaine was found in the West Wing during the Trump years?
We would be hearing about it non-stop 24/7. Now if we hear anything at all, it's that we will probably never know who did it.
We sure would be.
Hell, we still hear peeps about Helsinki, for crying out loud!
You mean like the Jan 6th Committee. No I don't think so. This is about getting to the truth on something which most people see is outrageous. The DOJ has become politicized & weaponized. There are many whistleblowers out there and they are all under attack and facing intimidation.
Here is what the Committee should ask Wray (courtesy of Margot Cleveland )
“Do you agree with the special counsel’s conclusion that there was an insufficient predicate to open Crossfire Hurricane as a full investigation?”
“Do you agree with the special counsel’s conclusion that the FBI handled allegations of ‘foreign election influence activities associated with entities related to Clinton,’ differently than it did the allegations related to Trump?”
“Do you agree with the special counsel’s conclusion that none of the substantive claims in the Steele dossier about Donald Trump and his campaign were verified?”
“Do you agree the FBI never should have used Igor Danchenko as a confidential human source?”
“Do you agree the FBI violated Carter Page’s civil rights?”
“Do you agree the FBI committed fraud on the FISA court?”
“Do you agree the FBI’s handling of Crossfire Hurricane demonstrated a political bias?”
“And do you agree with Durham’s conclusion that additional rules and regulations to be learned in yet more training sessions would likely prove to be a fruitless exercise if the FBI’s guiding principles of ‘Fidelity, Bravery and Integrity’ are not engrained in the hearts and minds of those sworn to meet the FBI’s mission of ‘Protect[ing] the American People and Uphold[ing] the Constitution of the United States?’”
Then, the Judiciary Committee should walk Wray through the whistleblowers’ many allegations and ask, generally speaking, whether the DOJ or FBI acted inappropriately.
If I can, I'll follow the proceedings here.
I thought this article was about the form related to Burisma. Now you want to drag 2016 back into it. I guess you realize they have nothing on Biden.
All you want to is keep up what you hope is negative information about the FBI , and Biden, in the public eye. People have had about enough of this shit.
It is all in the same package: A corrupt, political DOJ and a weaponized FBI.
And here is more from the treasure chest:
"The U.S. Secret Service on Tuesday declined to honor a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request for communications related to its investigation of the cocaine found at the White House, saying that to release those materials would compromise the investigation."
https://justthenews.com/government/white-house/secret-service-declines-honor-records-request-white-house-cocaine-docs?utm_source=mux&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=tw
And here is what the Biden administration does to reporters who ask hard questions:
These things are all laughable. The Secret Service destroyed evidence about Jan 6th by deleting the information from their phones. Were you up in arms about that? LOL.
Who are you to say that giving the right wing crazies what they want wouldnt "compromise" the white house cocaine investigation? All you do is regurgitate far right conspiracies.
Just The News is garbage.
I was up in arms when they covered Hunter's ass on the gun mess.
Who are you to say that giving the right wing crazies what they want wouldnt "compromise" the white house cocaine investigation?
There is a pattern here John, don't you get it? It is called OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE.
And WHAT did the vaunted Biden Justice Dept, DO?????????????????????????????????????
Where are the indictments?
Get over yourself, Simon Ateba was rude.
Google Jim Acosta
Blind lemming Democrats have had enough of it.
The rest of us want our two tier justice system gone- as we have had more than enough of that!
The hearing has begun.
You can see all of it on C-Span 3
Don't drown!
In his opening statement Wray is telling us what a good job the rank & file agents do on a daily basis.
I hope he is not going to hide behind them.
Now the guy who shit himself is asking questions about Trump.
What scum!
"FBI director Wray just had a curious start to his testimony. When everyone rose to give the pledge of allegiance, Wray raised his right hand as if taking the oath."
Gaetz is hitting him right now!
"Rep. Zoe Lofgren just repeated that there is "no evidence" that the FBI is censoring conservatives despite a 155 page court opinion, the Twitter Files, and prior testimony detailing that evidence."
Another idiot.
democrat primaries produce them. Party affiliation voters elect them.
"House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Jerry Nadler started his questioning of Wray saying that many Republicans are calling the Mar-a-Lago search an unprecedented raid. He asked Wray if he would describe it as a raid."
"I would not call it a raid. I would call it the execution of a lawful search warrant," Wray responded. "There was no SWAT involvement."

Tough day!
REP THOMAS MASSIE: "The Bank of America...gave to the FBI gun purchase records...for anybody that was a Bank of America customer. Is that true?!
" FBI DIRECTOR WRAY: " My understanding is that the institution in question shared information with us, as happens all the time."
"Wray is continuing to refuse to answer questions for lack of knowledge. It raises the question of willful blindness as when he denied that there were any FISA searches linked to Jan. 6th in prior testimony. Today he just shrugged and said that, when he gave that apparently false representation, he did not know what his agency was doing on FISA in that regard. Now that a court has revealed it, he says that he is now aware of it."
"Some people think the Crucifixion only took place on Calvary." (Father Barry / On the Waterfront )
Hundreds of thousands of searches done illegally through FISA and the director knows nothing!
And democrats keep thanking him for knowing nothing!
The Republican clowns on this committee are trying to blame Jan 6th on undercover FBI agents in the crowd at the Capitol Building. I would assume there were some FBI agents in the crowd trying to figure out or overhear what the insurrectionists were plotting that day. It would have been a dereliction if the FBI did not have people in the crowd.
But of course none of them forced the MAGA traitors to enter the building.
Then you aren't paying attention.
They were asking the Director how many FBI-related people were in the Capital on Jan. 6, which he didn't know.
Seems like something a person in charge might know so long after the fact.
I assume there were FBI personnel in the crowd gathering information.
So what? What is objectionable about that?
Don't you think that is something a man in charge should know--at least by NOW????
That is a side note. This hearing is about the history of FBI malfeasance for the past few years.
We should learn a lot today.
I hope they keep Wray on the hot seat for another 6 hours.
I think they are each getting 5 minutes and there will only be one round. Depending on how many committee members are there today the length of the hearing can be calculated. I would say three hours sounds about right.
with a history of conservative directors, you'd think somebody in that agency could connect the dots ...
Why would you expect others to do what you can't?
Ya, we know.
He said that he does not believe that there was a single undercover agent there, but will not answer as to whether there were FBI "assets" in the crowd. That kind of implies that the FBI may have paid people, who they couldn't control, to give them information. That might explain a lot.
Joe Walsh is entitled to his opinion.
When it comes to defining radicalism: failing to recognize basic biology and denying the US population affordable fuel based on a green fantasy and opening the southern border, more than fits the definition.
Walsh makes it clear what MAGA radicalization consists of - a cultish devotion to Trump and protecting him from responsibility for his actions.
geez, that chris wray guy is really a questionable director of the FBI. what brain-dead jackass appointed him? /s
FBI director Christopher Wray: "There are specific rules about where to store classified information and that those need to be stored in a SCIF...In my experience, ballrooms, bathrooms, and bedrooms are not SCIFs."
The follow-up should have been: How about garages in Delaware?
it'll be fun to compare the classification levels of the documents after the dust settles and traitor 45 is in jail, if he lives that long...
And last but not least:
That was a great exchange.............
In Conclusion:
The American people have lost faith in the FBI and have lost count of all the scandals the agency has been a part of. In a recent Poll only 37% of Americans now have a favorable opinion of what once was America's premier law enforcement agency. Yesterday Director Wray only added to that perception by being defiant & evasive before a House Committee. Wray was at no point straight forward on issues he should have been prepared to talk about. What is happening to American justice is something that only happens in totalitarian states.
Now I'll put this one to rest.
As you should, J. Jordan's committee of revenge was a joke of jerks.
