We're learning that the FBI had even more evidence than originally thought of foreign influence peddling and corruption in the Biden family. Just the News reports there were multiple whistleblowers who came forward with information on Hunter Biden's role in the Ukrainian energy company Burisma at the time his father Joe was U.S. Vice President. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) released FBI documents provided to his office showing evidence presented by at least two additional human sources.
Sen. Grassley brought up these documents with current FBI Director Kash Patel during Patel's appearance before the Senate last month. "A document that I made public...that document mentioned text messages, audio recordings, and financial records that allegedly proved a bribery scheme with the Biden family and foreign interests," said Grassley.
"Regarding those records, did the Wray FBI make any effort to determine whether they existed? Did the Wray FBI make any effort to obtain those records?" asked Grassley. "Not to my knowledge, Mr. Chairman," replied Patel.
In other words, it appears the bureau looked the other way on multiple sources providing credible information on corruption involving Joe and Hunter Biden. Beyond that, two IRS investigators also have come forward saying their investigations into Hunter Biden's shady foreign business dealings were repeatedly thwarted by the FBI and DOJ.
While the bureau was apparently ignoring Biden corruption allegations, it was aggressively pursuing the January 6th Capitol breach investigation, with new reports that special counsel Jack Smith even spied on multiple Republican senators as part of that probe.
Patel is now vowing to root out and end political weaponization at the bureau. "We are doing a prospective and retrospective analysis of individuals who may have weaponized the department and the agency," he told Grassley during the hearing. "And as I've committed to you...this FBI will not be weaponized anymore on either side of the aisle."
