Grassley, Comer allege bribery scheme involving Biden and demand documents from FBI

[jgo]

Source: CBS News

Two top congressional Republicans say they want to know what, if any, information the FBI has about an alleged bribery scheme involving President Joe Biden, while the White House accuses the lawmakers of an "unfounded political attack."

House Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer and Sen. Chuck Grassley, of Iowa, say a whistleblower has provided information about the alleged scheme, and they have issued a subpoena to FBI Director Christopher Wray demanding a document that they say contains information about the allegation..

In their letter to Wray and Attorney General Merrick Garland, Grassley and Comer said that it had come to their attention that "the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) possess an unclassified FD-1023 form that describes an alleged criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Biden and a foreign national relating to the exchange of money for policy decisions."

"It has been alleged that the document includes a precise description of how the alleged criminal scheme was employed as well as its purpose," their letter said.

1. People are worried about Joe being 82, Grassley's 89 - he'll be 90 in September.

[2naSalit]

5. +1

And far less "with it", actually a lot less.

[BumRushDaShow]

11. Exactly plus Grassley and Feinstein are only 3 months apart in age

(she in June and he in September)

[jpak]

2. Russia Russia Russi!!!!!!!111

Fake News!!!!!!11

Biggest Witch Hunt in history!!!!!1

,,,,,,

It's payback time.

Yup

[bucolic_frolic]

3. And GOP's been sitting on this info for years and it surfaces only when Thomas is exposed?

I don't think so. Sorry guys.

[machoneman]

14. Ah, maybe not. I see the ramping up now as we get ever closer to the next election. Expect....

..far more late breaking news from the R's as they work really hard to blast ou any and all accusations, not only about Hunter but ANYTHING they think will hurt the President. Talk about weaponization of even the slightest issues with the Dems!

[Freethinker65]

4. So fishing for accusations that were investigated (but found baseless)?

I am sure there have been lots of accusations made against Chuck and Comer from the disgruntled. This does not mean every allegation is true. So all allegations with no evidence but outlines, like Trumps many allegations about voter fraud that were all disproven, against Democrats are to be amplified?

GOP legislators approved of Trump's extortion attempt in withholding of money for Ukraine for a personal favor, and there was not only an outline, but documentation, tapes, and Trump admitted he did it!

[PatSeg]

13. Yes, just bringing it up

gives them a headline, which many people (republicans) will assume is true. Just plant the seed and let it grow. Yet another republican distraction and we pay these people to do this kind of crap.

[groundloop]

18. Yep.... the Swift Boat lies worked wondrously well for them against John Kerry.

[PatSeg]

22. So true

They seem to last forever no matter how many times they are disproved. It is an insidious tactic.

[ToxMarz]

6. You could quite literally make that allegation about anyone

It so vague and lacking any basis. If it's unclassified, seems anyone could do a FOIA request, or the whistle blower could have given it to them.

'It has come to their attention that "the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) possess an unclassified FD-1023 form that describes an alleged criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Biden and a foreign national relating to the exchange of money for policy decisions.'

15. The Republican Corruption and Crime Tsunami is fucking up all their plans...bring out the projectors!

Make sure corporate media projects the projection widely, …as they always do!

[2naSalit]

7. Funny how they...

Have the specific document they seek by its reference code. Somehow I wonder when that doc was created, by whom and when it was entered into the record and by whom. Sounds like a planted doc, like Hunter's alleged laptop.

[Walleye]

8. There's a big hole in all of this crap, vice presidents don't make policy decisions

They won’t find anything, investigate and be damned

[Alexander Of Assyria]

17. No to mention the secret document is unclassified...so how important can it be? CBS really

should do their due diligence before amplifying R crap…then again they amplified MTG, so fuck that hope.

[Botany]

9. The same Chuck Grassley who suggested that V.P. Pence would not be there to certify the E.C. vote ..

... on 1/6/21?

During an exchange with reporters on Tuesday, Grassley was asked how he plans to vote.

“Well, first of all, I will be — if the Vice President isn’t there and we don’t expect him to be there, I will be presiding over the Senate,” according to a transcript of his remarks sent by a spokesperson.

10. Anytime one of theirs is caught in another scheme they automatically start "investigating"

that same scheme with the Democrats that are in leadership. It is so contrived and obvious.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

12. Defamation laws really do need to be applied to politicians, why do they get a pass?

To the contrary maybe such a law would end the age of conspiracy I saw on the internet or I heard from one person who heard it on the internet 🛜 as policy.

[Marthe48]

16. traitor rape defamation trial

r's say: "Oh look over here! Shiny object, made of tinfoil!"

19. Approaching an Election!

My my, we must be approaching an election and making stuff up. What a great reminder that its time to donate to the Biden Re-election Campaign.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

20. Or Republicans talk through their collective asses

[Bayard]

21. Squirrel!!

Not even worth responding to, for Garland or Joe.
