Hoover Institution Senior Fellow Victor Davis Hanson told Newsmax Friday that the FBI’s refusal to answer a Congressional subpoena for information relating to President Joe Biden and his family’s overseas business dealings show the evidence of scandal is “irrefutable.”
“I think the permanent administrative state, FBI, CIA., and the left, understand that this is irrefutable, and this is a scandal in the Biden family,” Hanson said during “Rob Schmitt Tonight” Friday. “The [Biden] syndicate is probably the most corrupt political family in the 20th and 21st centuries.”
The House Oversight Committee issued a subpoena to the FBI last week requiring the agency to turn over a file that could show Joe Biden taking bribes while serving as vice president, by noon on Wednesday, the New York Post reported.
In response, the agency said in a May 10 letter it would not immediately give the committee the information due to concerns about its verifiability.
“Information from confidential human sources is unverified and, by definition, incomplete,” the Post reported FBI Acting Assistant Director for Congressional Affairs Christopher Dunham, who also argued that informant reports must also be kept private to protect sources, writing in the letter.
“As is clear from the name itself, confidentiality is definitional to the FBI’s Confidential Human Source program.”
Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., slammed the agency for not complying with the subpoena.
“It’s clear from the FBI’s response that the unclassified record the Oversight Committee subpoenaed exists, but they are refusing to provide it to the Committee,” the Post reported that Comer said.
Hanson said the issue is existential for the permanent administrative state, and a problem because it would lead to Biden leaving office.
they dont want Harris as president either
