Grassley demands answers from US Attorney David Weiss, claiming “hundreds” of people have had access to FBI informant memo.
The office of a Trump-era federal prosecutor who has led the investigation of Hunter Biden was briefed two weeks before the 2020 election that the FBI had allegations from an informant suggesting Joe Biden was involved in a bribery scheme involving Ukrainian business interests, according to new information released by a top Republican senator.
In a letter made public Monday, Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, asked Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss when he first learned about the October 2020 briefing the FBI gave to one of his top prosecutors, Lesley Wolf.
“Based on information provided to my office from individuals aware of the meeting, on October 23, 2020, Justice Department and FBI Special Agents from the Pittsburgh Field Office briefed Assistant U.S. Attorney Lesley Wolf, one of your top prosecutors, and FBI Special Agents from the Baltimore Field Office with respect to the contents of the FBI-generated FD- 1023 alleging a criminal bribery scheme involving then-Vice President Biden and Hunter Biden,” Grassley wrote in the letter dated Sunday.
You can read the letter here:
The existence of the FD-1023 informant memo was first disclosed by Grassley and House Oversight committee Chairman James Comer earlier this spring, transforming the congressional investigation into Hunter Biden into an inquiry also involving his father, the 46th president.
Before the 2020 elections means that information was withheld from the voters….which would have changed the outcome – in a fair election….
That one was rigged better than the Constitution!
MSM reports always mention Weiss was appointed by President Trump. Generally, all US Attorneys submit resignations upon change in White House, and some are accepted, others not. But the appointments are not generally made in a vacuum. Some consultation with Senators, Governors, Representatives from the state and region often precedes an appointment.
In the case of Lower, Slower it’s a very small state with Dems in Congress and governor’s chair, but also a major hub of business registrations and commercial litigation. So Weiss’ appointment may have been more about those matters rather than setting up a shield for Bribem & Son. Joe was dead meat until well into the 2020 primary season when he sold what remained of his soul to Clyburn for SC primary boost.
None of the above exonerates Weiss. If he had an honest bone, he’d resign and name names. That’s expecting too much.
