Multiple whistleblowers within the FBI now reveal to U.S. Senate leaders that top bureau officials worked to shut down investigations into former Vice President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden and even plotted to discredit media reports into his drug use and suspicious overseas business deals.
In an effort that appears to many to be election interference, FBI agents and top officials falsely claimed incriminating documents and photos from a laptop abandoned by Hunter Biden were “Russian disinformation,” even though they were verified to be authentic.
The effort to discredit Biden critics came as Biden's average polling lead fell, from around between eight to ten percent through June and late July to around seven percent by August.
The office of U.S. Sen. Charles Grassley, Ranking Member on the Senate Judiciary Committee reports:
Whistleblowers further allege that [Washington Field Office Assistant Special Agent in Charge Timothy] Thibault and other FBI officials sought to falsely portray as disinformation evidence acquired from multiple sources that provided the FBI derogatory information related to Hunter Biden's financial and foreign business activities, even though some of that information had already been or could be verified. In August of 2020, FBI supervisory intelligence analyst Brian Auten opened an assessment, which was used by a team of agents at FBI headquarters to improperly discredit and falsely claim that derogatory information about Biden's activities was disinformation, causing investigative activity and sourcing to be shut down.
That same month, FBI agents provided an unsolicited and unnecessary briefing to Grassley and Senator Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), who were also investigating Biden's foreign business deals. Details about that briefing were later leaked to the news media in an apparent effort to falsely cast the senators' investigation, which was based on U.S. government records and testimony from Obama administration officials, as tainted with foreign disinformation.
The FBI headquarters team allegedly placed their assessment findings in a restricted access subfolder, effectively flagging sources and derogatory evidence related to Hunter Biden as disinformation while shielding the justification for such findings from scrutiny. Thibault also reportedly ordered the closure of a stream of information related to Hunter Biden and sought to improperly mark the matter within FBI systems in a way that would prevent it from being re-opened in the future. The FBI headquarters team allegedly claimed that reporting from the stream was at risk of disinformation. However, whistleblowers claim that all of the information obtained through that stream was already verified or verifiable.
“The aforementioned allegations put a finer point on concerns that I have raised for many years about political considerations infecting the decision-making process at the Justice Department and FBI. If these allegations are true and accurate, the Justice Department and FBI are – and have been – institutionally corrupted to their very core to the point in which the United States Congress and the American people will have no confidence in the equal application of the law,” Grassley wrote in a letter today to Wray and Garland.
Grassley is seeking records related to Auten's assessment, derogatory information received by the FBI related to Hunter Biden and an accounting of all leads that were either closed out or denied further review by or at the direction of Thibault. Grassley is also seeking records related to the August 2020 briefing, including 302s, predicating materials and individuals involved.

Compromised joe biden and family allowing China to take over our Country, you can’t open any business in China without them being 50% partners, why not the same for US policy? Steal our technology, bribe our politicians,fxxx over our trade policies,need anybody ask why?
The White House can try to shut down Hunter Biden story but they can’t. It has been documented too many times and President with him.
It has been very well established that leadership in all enforcement and investigative agencies within the government are criminally corrupt and their primary mission is covering up crimes and treason of top Democrat officials and their cronies. The government requires a thorough house-cleaning with most of the corrupt officials going to prison. Otherwise the only solution seems to be revolution by the people to reclaim our government. We don’t need anymore proof of the corruption. It is by now an established fact.
yo cleetus, you are right on
International corruption negatively affects U.S. financial markets, economic growth. FBI investigates many types of international corruption, their words not mine, except for the bidens,right ???

every agency under the gov’t umbrella is equally corrupt. purge/terminate them all.
Why the democrat party, democrats are allowed to function in our Constitutional Republic is beyond all sensibility!
The Biden drug mafia operates with the protection of the FBI and DOJ. Meanwhile, they spread the false Russian narrative to destroy Trump’s re-election. All these treasonous acts operated in conjunction with the DNC.
Anyone in the FBI that intentionally falsifies data should be terminated immediately!
No one is above the law and their job is to investigate and pass it on to prosecutors for violation of any laws by anyone including Hunter.
The FBI isn’t there to protect anyone committing crimes!
The Secret Service protects the President, family, etc. from physical threats of harm by anyone! They are not there to protect them from their own criminal actions!
Our govt. is corrupt to the gills and is controlled by the Democrat swamp. So disgusting the DOJ, FBI, CIA and even our military leadership are bought and paid for
for political purposes. I guess the best way
to think about this is that just leaves more room in Heaven for those that believe in God and religious values. Those who are involved need to find a good church home and RBR. God will punish those that do not honor Christian values/principles.
Vote these criminals out of our govt. before it is too late.

The FBI has been corrupted for years. You need to get rid of all the paid off pieces of junk and get a whole new team that can’t be bought and paid for by the people in Washington. Everybody in Washinton DC is greedy and money hungry, that is what they are all about. The people of American know this and we know that everybody up there is corrupt.
Old news — the whole world knows of the corruption within our supposed most renowned law enforcement agency. Secondly — the election was never tight until the voter fraud kicked in — it was a landslide for Trump. Thirdly — why would they have to tell the senate leaders — they were all in on the conspiracy to oust Trump.
Makes a person wonder, how long this behavior has been going on, and how many
different situations?
Adults know the whole government is corrupt as part of the deep state embarrassingly using the FBI, for one, to intimidate Americans to push them inline so their own criminality won’t be exposed as it is.
Those FBI bosses need to be in prison along with their boss.
It’s Long Past the time for a “ New Broom Clean Sweep “ !
