Republican Admits Key Informant Against Joe Biden Is Now Missing
-
Representative James Comer, a Kentucky Republican, admitted on Sunday that his fellow Republicans lost track of a key witness in an investigation about the Biden family being involved in an alleged bribery scheme. Comer tried to get records from the FBI that he said he believes could reveal whether President Biden allegedly received bribes from the foreign companies, basing his allegation on information he received from an anonymous whistleblower. That whistleblower is now missing.

I already post about part of this story.
Director Wray refused to comply with the House subpoena for the documents related to this.

What do you mean refused? That subpoena was issued 11 days ago! You think a document request from the government to another portion of the government is going to take less than a week?.... please

He was before one of the House committees and he said he would not turn it over.
I saw this on Forbes Breaking News, in an unedited, their own words video.

That's the thread I originally posted about this topic.
This was prior to the whistleblower disappearing.
-
@raphjd You're partially right. The FBI responded in a letter Wednesday, with Christopher Dunham, the acting assistant director for congressional affairs, saying that while the FBI was committed to "beginning the constitutionally mandated accommodation process," it was also bound by Justice Department policy, which "strictly limits when and how confidential human source information can be provided outside of the FBI."
"Often, even confirming the fact of the existence (or nonexistence) of an investigation or a particular piece of investigative information can risk these serious harms," Dunham wrote, adding that it was "standard practice" for law enforcement agencies to decline to confirm or deny such facts.
-
It goes without saying that comer would have known about that FBI restriction for releasing those types of documents before he even sent the subpoena. He knew exactly what answer he was going to get from the FBI.
-
The letter response was supplied less than 30 minutes before the hearing, which is the usual tactic of the FBI.

You're right on that.
The DoJ, FBI, ATF, CIA, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc only do what they want.

@raphjd
So him requesting it when he already knew what the answer was going to be was just merely a bit of theater on his part.The subpoena was for exactly one document and any accompanying attachments dated from July 2020. I find it hard to believe that the entire Biden corruption probe is based on only one document. Also the subpoena was dated May 3rd so I don't know what you're talking about when you say he denied it at some congressional hearing.
The subpoena can be viewed here
-
A Congressional subpeopna is a Congressional subpoena.
It's 1 document that 1 whistleblower informed them of.
Maybe if the corrupt DoJ, FBI, etc, etc, etc, etc weren't so corrupt, we'd have a lot more documents.

American politics... its a lot of corrupt people spinning stories and trying to fuck each other and not in a good way.

Please tell me where the politics is good.
-
@raphjd I can point to lots of good legislation. Sadly just none of it is USA based but I am sure someone here can point to it.
But to use some examples.... the European Convention on Human Rights, The Good Friday Agreement, Furlough payments, Eat out to help out, The National Health Service Act of 1946.
When politicians come together and serve the people they are elected by they can do a lot of good. The problem you have is corruption and a lot of politics is often stabbing others in the back.
-
There's a huge difference between individual pieces of legislation and politics.
I don't think any country has "good" politics, despite some coming up with the odd piece of legislation.
-
@Thebigmattb-0 I hate to say it, but this problem is not limited to the United States alone. Canadian politics has become much the same. It doesn't matter what end of the spectrum you fall under, all politicians (at least in the Western world) are bought and paid for, and thus, are as corrupt as the day is long as they serve their own agenda to sideline their own pockets, while simultaneously screwing over its people.
