FBI declines to provide House chairman with document he claims will implicate Biden in 'criminal scheme'

The FBI on Wednesday rejected a request from House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer to provide access to sensitive law enforcement materials that some congressional Republicans insist will reveal criminal activity involving Joe Biden from when he was vice president.

Comer, R-Ky., along with Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, had initially requested the materials in a letter May 3 to the FBI, citing what they called “highly credible unclassified whistleblower disclosures” about an unclassified document detailing “an alleged criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Biden and a foreign national relating to the exchange of money for policy decisions.”

In his subpoena, Comer demanded that the FBI produce what are known as FD-1023 forms — records of interactions with confidential sources — created or modified in June 2020 including the word “Biden,” along with any accompanying attachments or other documents.

The FBI responded in a letter Wednesday, with Christopher Dunham, the acting assistant director for congressional affairs, saying that while the FBI was committed to "beginning the constitutionally mandated accommodation process," it was also bound by Justice Department policy, which "strictly limits when and how confidential human source information can be provided outside of the FBI."

"Often, even confirming the fact of the existence (or nonexistence) of an investigation or a particular piece of investigative information can risk these serious harms," Dunham wrote, adding that it was "standard practice" for law enforcement agencies to decline to confirm or deny such facts.

Comer blasted the FBI's response.

GOP threatens Blinken contempt charge over Afghanistan docs

The chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee has threatened to hold Secretary of State Antony Blinken in contempt of Congress if the State Department does not turn over classified cables related to the chaotic U. S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas, on Friday pledged in a letter — obtained by The Associated Press — to escalate the ongoing battle with the State Department over a so-called dissent cable written by diplomats at the U. S. Embassy in Kabul shortly before the August 2021 withdrawal. The new deadline for the State Department to respond is Thursday.

The threat is the latest in an already unprecedented effort by McCaul to force the release of sensitive documents to Congress, setting up what could become a constitutional showdown between House Republicans and the Biden administration on the ability of the legislative branch to conduct oversight.

A State Department spokesperson said Monday that it was “unfortunate" that despite the House Foreign Affairs Committee having received a classified briefing on the dissent cable and a written summary it "continues to pursue this unnecessary and unproductive action.”

For Cherinob 2. Krystal uses her connections, and a friend in her business with whom she has an affair, to get her hands on a state of the art ghost hunter tool.

This weapon allows her to detect paranormal activity by forcing Apthalans, especially Biroots, into projecting their own names in the form of sigils on the nearest walls, by disrupting the way their incursions on our plane of existence interacts with neutrinos.

So if you're human, you're unaffected, aside from maybe getting cancer if you beam yourself too often. If you're a demon, you're exposed!

Krystal, suffice to say, gets herself in quite a bit of trouble in the story for using it.

First, such tools being purchased and used nonchalantly by normies, while within the Second Amendment, is an affront to the unconstitutional Kirby Act that the gubmint enforces instead.

Second, she has to hop a fence and break into a lab storage shed to hide from a gang that is after her for exposing their boss as being from literal Hell, so both literal devil worshipers and police are after her.

And then, after both Astirnah's cult and Brookings PD have her on their radar, she frees the Angel of Radioactive Death and Destruction from an X-ray machine by accident. And then uses the weapon on a weakened Cherinob to get her to expose her identity, even though Cherinob would've been honest with her if she'd just had some manners.

So which design do you think works best for a tale about a teen South Dakota ghost hunter that takes her hobby too far, and then discovers a conspiracy involving next level supernatural evil in her own backyard?
