In this episode of “Try to Control Your Shock and Amazement”… a “highly credible” whistleblower has informed a senior Republican senator of a widespread effort within the FBI and Department of Justice to downplay or outright dismiss negative information about Joe Biden’s crackhead son, Hunter Biden.

According to letters reported by CBS News, Iowa Republican Senator Grassley, the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, on July 25, wrote to FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland alleging that sources within the FBI presented to him evidence of continuing attempts to discredit information about Hunter Biden.

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.

The seriousness of the tone of Grassley’s letter cannot be overstated. He continued:

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 an FBI Headquarters (“FBI HQ”) team to improperly discredit negative Hunter Biden information as disinformation and caused investigative activity to cease.

“Improperly discredit Hunter Biden information as disinformation”? California Democrat Representative and serial liar extraordinaire, Adam “Russia! Russia! Russia!” Schiff was unavailable for comment.

“In light of these allegations,” wrote Grassley:

I remain very concerned that political bias by a select group of Justice Department and FBI officials has infected the Justice Department’s and FBI’s usual process and procedure to open and pursue high-profile and politically charged investigations.

After listing multiple serious examples of alleged improprieties by the FBI and DOJ, Grassley wrapped up his letter by requesting records from the FBI and DOJ by August 8 — while also alleging that Wray and Garland “have systemic and existential problems within” their respective agencies.

Attorney General Garland and Director Wray, simply put, based on the allegations that I’ve received from numerous whistleblowers, you have systemic and existential problems within your agencies. You have an obligation to the country to take these allegations seriously and immediately investigate.

Kudos to Grassley — but what took him so long?

The bottom line:

While Senator Grassley’s strongly word letter and August 8 deadline to Wray and Garland was a good play — regardless of whether either one or both comply — it doesn’t take a proverbial rocket scientist to suggest that these two guys, particularly Garland, have been in the on the fix from the nanosecond the Hunter Biden laptop story first broke; if not before.

So the question remains, albeit somewhat modified: Will Christopher Wray and/or Merrick Garland comply with Chuck Grassley’s request, or will they continue to do what they’ve always done, as they continue to obfuscate, dissemble, and outright lie about all things Joe Biden and his crackhead son?

I’ll put my money on “B.”
