House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) announced on Monday that he is proceeding with the Contempt of Congress hearings for FBI officials.
This comes after the FBI once again refused to turn over a requested document related to alleged Biden family criminal activity to the House Oversight Committee.
During his announcement of the contempt of Congress hearings, Comer told reporters, “The investigation is not dead. This is only the beginning.”
The document was presented, but the FBI refused to turn the document over to the committee during a briefing.
The document that was subpoenaed from the FBI was for a whistleblower form that allegedly describes then Vice President Joe Biden’s involvement in a $5 million pay-to-play criminal scheme with a foreign national.
The FBI had allowed Comer to review the document at its headquarters and later said that he could physically view it at Capitol Hill, but today would not turn it over to the committee. Comer maintains that the FBI’s failure to turn over the document is in violation of the subpoena sent by the House Oversight Committee.
Comer then took questions and one reporter asked, “Why do you need the document at hand? You just got a chance to view it … Why move forward with contempt when the FBI says they’re cooperating in good faith?”
Comer elaborated that The White House is already minimizing the document and has claimed there is ‘no merit’ to the document also calling it ‘crazy’ and a ‘conspiracy theory’. “I’m supposed to take the FBI’s word that they’re investigating this?” Comer added.

Comer along with Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) had been pressing the FBI for the document for over a month. The original deadline for the delivery of the document was May 30th. The FBI appeared to ignore the subpoena and only responded when threats of Contempt of Congress were made.
FBI Director Christopher Wray agreed last week to provide the document. It appears it was presented at a briefing today, however, the FBI refused to leave the document at Capitol Hill.
With that, the hearings for Contempt of Congress will now proceed this Thursday.

No statute of limitation for treason. I hear even Comey has urinary tract issues now. It will be interesting to see how far Garland will be willing to stick his private parts under the guillotine. Will he act astounded at the total fraud of the J6 democrat committee or will he act like the butler in a cheep film noir movie?
One would need a micro-guillotine for that soy boy.
After Schiff for brains, Nadler, Pelosi and the others LIED for two years about “seeing the evidence”, the American people will not believe this until the document is released to the public. And that’ll still only be about 1/3 of the public since none of the mainstream corporate media will report on it when it is released.
blah blah blah. Same bs day in day out. When will these people ever be held accountable for the damage they have done to our Republic? obama, fauci, pelosi, sciff, mcconnell, bush, clintons, gores, bidens, brix, pence, harris, etc etc. People need to go to jail and be tried for treason yet the republicans will cave and do nothing but blah blah blah. The repubs will say ‘give me more money so we can take the senate and white house.’ And then do nothing again.
yep…same-o same-o
but they keep getting elected and getting paid.
As I’ve often said:
“If Lois Lerner didn’t go to jail, ain’t nobody goin’ to jail.”
Republicans must think we are stupid.

LIAR LIAR pants on fire!
Every few weeks the FAUX conservative feeding trough (AKA conservative news) feeds us some juicy line of hot steaming bull manure. We cling to it like something will happen to the communists destroying the country and NOTHING ever comes of it.
Just look at how The leader of the congress just sold us down the river on the unlimited debt bill.
Its ALL BS. All of it. Fake conservative websites posting fake stories about democrats on the cusp of being taken to jail are all “Bread and circuses” and nothing more.
Who cares if Wray is held in contempt of Congress? Join the club. Everyone holds the do-nothing Congress in contempt. Arrest Wray, raid the FBI at 5 am and seize their records. Then try the traitor and hang him for treason. Line the rest of the coup conspirators up and hang them, too.
So if this has only just begun then I guess it will be finished when all of Hunter Biden’s children and his children children are dead then right?
