What the FBI Deputy Director Said About the Biden Bribe Tapes Isn't Fooling Anyone

The FBI did itself no favors at yesterday’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing. Deputy Director Paul Abbate faced a grilling from multiple senators about the bureau running amok, citing how investigations are now soaked in bias and their surveillance operations heading way off the reservation regarding its legal parameters. The FBI has been exposed for suppressing exculpatory evidence to obtain illegal FISA spy warrants on associates of Donald Trump during the 2016 election. They knew the Steele Dossier was bogus but kept that tidbit hidden to continue their unlawful wiretapping operation.
The FBI spied on a presidential campaign, folks. Let that creepiness sink in and all the horrors that come with it.
During and after the 2020 election, we saw the FBI's interference in any investigation into the Biden family. If they’re trying to look impartial and not engaging in a cover-up, which isn’t the case, but I’m trying to play devil’s advocate here, the bureau is failing miserably. The latest eyebrow-raising move centers on the FD-1023 report, in which a confidential human source alleges that Joe Biden is part of a Ukrainian bribery scheme where Mykola Zlochevsky, co-founder of Burisma Holdings, paid Joe and Hunter Biden $5 million each. The source has been used since the Obama administration and alleges that Mr. Zlochevsky has a ledger and recordings of his phone calls with the Bidens.
