McCarthy ‘Prepared’ To Hold FBI Director In Contempt | Eastern North Carolina Now

    House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) on Tuesday threatened a vote to hold FBI Director Christopher Wray in contempt of Congress.

    The warning aims to end a weeks-long standoff between the bureau and House Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY), who issued a subpoena with a final deadline set for May 30 over a document believed to contain allegations of a criminal "bribery" scheme involving President Joe Biden.

    "Let me tell Director Christopher Wray right here, right now. If he misses the deadline today, I am prepared to move contempt charges in Congress against him," McCarthy said during an appearance on Fox News.

    "We have jurisdiction over this. He can send us that document," McCarthy added. "We have the right to look at that, Republicans and Democrats alike in that committee. And if he does not follow through with the law, we will move contempt charges against Wray and the FBI. They are not above the law."

    Comer says whistleblower disclosures led him and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) to believe the DOJ and FBI have an unclassified FD-1023 form describing the alleged scheme involving Biden, dating back to his time as vice president, and a foreign national.

    This particular FD-1023 form may reference some variant of "five million" and "June 30, 2020," Comer wrote in a letter to Wray last week. "These terms relate to the date on the FD-1023 form and its reference to the amount of money the foreign national allegedly paid to receive the desired policy outcome," he added.

    The FBI says FD-1023 forms are filled out to record claims from confidential human sources. Even after McCarthy spoke over the phone with Wray a couple of weeks back, lawmakers said the bureau resisted acknowledging the particular file they seek even exists. Publicly, the bureau has generally cautioned against disclosing unverified information from informants.

    "The FBI remains committed to cooperating with Congress's oversight requests on this matter and others as we always have, and we continue to be in touch with members of Congress regarding this request," the FBI told The Daily Wire on Tuesday. "The FBI's mission is to protect the American people. Releasing confidential source information could potentially jeopardize investigations and put lives at risk."

    McCarthy addressed confidentiality issues in a separate interview with radio host Hugh Hewitt on Tuesday. "If there's a concern about methods or areas of how we get it, redact names so we don't see that. But you've got to show the document," he said.

    If the House, which is narrowly controlled by Republicans, were to approve a criminal contempt referral to the Department of Justice (DOJ), Wray could face a fine and up to a year's imprisonment if federal prosecutors take up the case. There are also other forms of recourse, including civil enforcement, according to the American Bar Association.

In light of continued developments, primarily since 2008, there exists in these United States a Legal System which operates on a proved Two Tiered approach to justice rendered, which primarily benefits Democratic Elites and Woke Ideological Virtue Signalers, representing their co-dependent wards, to the expressed exclusion of normal hardworking American citizens: What is your suggestion in remedying this widespread injustice and, if not corrected, its existential outcome for our Constitutional Republic?

  Complete overhaul of the Department of Justice and their enforcers - the FBI - to reflect a far more honest justice system to keep patriots remaining calm.

  Disband the FBI, and request that congress investigate all unethical and non patriotic practices to partially right the wrongs of a distrusted and politically weaponized "Department of Justice."

  Continue with the current system since the two tiered justice system has been so remarkably beneficial to Democratic Socialist political hegemony; chronic distrust in institutions notwithstanding.

Now that the public is allowed to know the truth regarding the Hunter Biden Laptop Scandal, after more that 2 1/2 years of deception by the corrupt Corporate Media Kabal, propropagandidats all, and the discredited Deep State, we have NOW learned that the infamous laptop is far less about the Biden Boy's fetish for pornography, narcotics and Russian whores, and far more about Hunter's pivotal role in the Biden Crime Syndicate's selling of deep access to our foreign adversaries, and to what extent it has compromised our national security: What is your opinion about this possible coordinated Treason?

  It is imperative that we know the truth of what may be the greatest scandal in our Republic's history, and all aforementioned parties prosecuted for their crimes against the People.

  Currently, our Two Tiered Justice System is constructed to protect all Democratic Socialists, their corrupt "Journalist" spokes-sheople, and their Deep State enablers ... so why bother.

  It is Donald Trump's fault.

  How can we be assured that the "Laptop" is real? Would NOT our standard journalists have investigated this issue thoroughly nearly 3 years ago if it was real?
