THE F.B.I. - JOE BIDEN'S SECRET POLICE AND PROTECTORS OF THE BIDEN CRIME FAMILY - Rep. Jim Jordan: ‘Number One Goal’ to End Reauthorization of FBI Spy Powers
FBI source on alleged Biden criminal scheme doc is 'highly credible'
John Kirby, National Security Council coordinator for strategic communications, denied on Monday the Biden family’s business schemes represent a national security threat despite admitting he had not read the House Oversight Committee report on the matter.
In May, the House Oversight Committee’s probe found the Biden family business over the course of several years received at least $10 million from business schemes in Romania and China in return for what appears to be influence peddling. In total, nine Biden family members received payments from the family foreign business ventures, including two of Joe Biden’s grandchildren, the investigation revealed.
“Have you read the report yourself and do you personally think there are any national security concerns here?” a White House Daily Caller correspondent asked Kirby during Monday’s White House press briefing.
“No, and no.” he responded.
The question on Monday was the second time in one week reporters raised the topic of the Biden family business during a White House press briefing.
During last Wednesday’s White House press briefing, a reporter asked Kirby what he thought about a recent Harvard/Harris poll that found 53 percent of Americans, including a quarter of Democrats, believe Joe Biden “was involved with his son in an illegal influence peddling scheme.”
“What do you say to the majority of Americans who believe that the president is himself corrupt?” the reporter asked Kirby.
“Wow,” Kirby replied, pausing before claiming that “there’s nothing to these claims.”
The questions come as the House Oversight Committee opened a new line of investigation into an unclassified document that allegedly details an arrangement involving an exchange of money for policy decisions between now-President Joe Biden and a foreign national.
The FBI possesses the document from an interview the bureau conducted with the informant, who is reportedly a “highly credible” FBI source with a history dating back to the Obama administration era.
FBI Director Christopher Wray refused to hand over the subpoenaed record to the custody of the House Oversight Committee. On Monday, Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) announced the committee will move Thursday to hold Wray in contempt of Congress.
“FBI officials confirmed that the unclassified, FBI-generated record has not been disproven and is currently being used in an ongoing investigation,” Comer explained. “The confidential human source who provided the information about then-Vice President Joe Biden being involved in a criminal bribery scheme is a trusted, highly credible informant who is being used by the FBI for over ten years and has been paid over six figures.”
Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play 56 years ago this week. Watching the way the FBI is holding on to that memo reminds me of that song from the LP "Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite!" and how after some years in preparation. A splendid time is guaranteed for all named Biden.
The FBI confirmed the existence of an informant file the bureau refuses to provide Congress that allegedly links President Joe Biden to a $5 million bribery scheme, a confirmation the Justice Department previously did not deny, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) revealed Wednesday.
Comer and FBI Director Christopher Wray conducted a scheduled meeting Wednesday in which the bureau chief confirmed the file’s existence. The file allegedly details an arrangement involving an exchange of money for policy decisions between now-President Biden and a foreign national.
Okay. Let's see it. I'm all for protecting national security and sources, but we can do it. We can see the information on the memo and prove for once and for all whether or not money impacted policy decisions. It would be nice to know if nine Biden family members won the big Lotto or received payments from business ventures under "The Big Guy."
Director Christopher Wray has another problem – the FBI’s credibility issues revealed in the Durham Report. The director can say that reforms were implemented or he can put the document on the table and let the country see the evidence. Again, he can protect sources and confirm that the it's something or nothing.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) told Breitbart News in an exclusive that his “number one goal” this year is to block reauthorization of what is known as the “crown jewel” for the intelligence agencies.
Jordan spoke to Breitbart News as Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) will soon expire, leaving an opportunity for privacy-centric lawmakers and those critical of government overreach to fight for reform.

The Judiciary Committee chairman, who will have significant sway over the FISA reauthorization debate, said in no uncertain terms that he would do whatever he could to block reauthorizing the program.
Jordan said, “The number one goal I have between now and the end of the year is to stop the reauthorization of the 702 FISA program.”
The Ohio conservative in his argument against reauthorizing Section 702 cited a recently unsealed court document that found the FBI misused FISA over 300,000 times between 2020 and early 2021.
Section 702 is a law that allows intelligence agencies to collect communications of targeted foreigners. It also may lead to targeted surveillance of Americans’ private communications, which privacy advocates consider a run around the Fourth Amendment’s requirement for a warrant to search Americans’ communications.
An FBI audit also found that the agency had “insufficient justification” for two FISA searches relating to “January 6th Capitol Violence.”
Rep. Darin LaHood (R-IL), a member of the House Intelligence Committee, dramatically revealed that he was the unnamed lawmaker that was surveilled by the FBI. The FBI said the surveillance was a defensive countermeasure to make sure the Illinois Republican was not the subject of a foreign influence operation.

Jordan and other lawmakers’ critical comments about FISA may make a blanket reauthorization a non-starter.
Rep. Warren Davidson (R-OH) said in reaction to the report that the FBI had violated Americans’ privacy hundreds of thousands of times. “We know surveillance programs like Section 702 have been abused. Americans’ have a constitutional right to privacy, and we must end warrantless surveillance programs,” Davidson said.
Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA), the chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, said, “This is an outrageous & unacceptable abuse of power. We cannot reauthorize FISA without a complete privacy overhaul that prevents the government from warrantlessly spying on Americans.”
