A few thoughts about the letter itself before getting to the substance. {pdf link Here}
First, as you are likely aware, the Senators and Committee heads/ranking members do little of the investigative effort themselves. This is where the value of exceptional staff comes into play, along with the background battle between a small group of congressional aides and assistants -vs- an army of Lawfare operatives. The battle to reveal truth takes place deep in the trenches of hidden government, and the only weapon on the side of the righteous is the ultimate weapon – the truth.
Second, again with a familiar approach, this letter is not penned to the recipient FBI Director Christopher Wray, in as much as it is an alarm sounded by Senator Grassley’s office to the larger American audience. This is essentially Grassley saying to We The People, here’s the evidence of how inherently corrupt and politicized the FBI has become. The motive appears to be providing damaging information the media will avoid mentioning, discussing or outlining.
DC FBI Building, left – Main Justice DOJ Building, right.
In summary of the 7-page letter, it describes a national effort by the FBI to cover up the activity of Hunter and Joe Biden’s illicit financial dealings. Because the Biden family essentially operated a network of financial schemes that touched on multiple areas and interests, the activity itself was tracked by the FBI through a series of several dozen Confidential Human Sources (CHS’s) and informants in multiple jurisdictions throughout the U.S.
Because the various field offices and CHS/Informant networks were diverse and widespread, the DC FBI needed a control mechanism that would throw a bag over all the activity coast to coast. The mechanism they chose was the familiar “Foreign Influence Disinformation” designation. The FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force was the DC organization -an institutional tool per se’- used to block, impede and eliminate sunlight upon the information that was surfacing from multiple investigations of the Biden family.
Grassley walks through examples of how the central HQ of the FBI deployed the label of “disinformation” in order to get various field offices to discredit their own investigative tools, CHS’s and informants. The way it worked would be central FBI command would label an investigative lead as “disinformation”, and that would throw a bag over the field office outcome. The CHS’s and informants were then undermined, discredited and cut loose from the record keeping of the FBI.
Essentially, labeling the findings as foreign disinformation was the protective shield to remove the evidence of the Biden family activity. This was done from Washington DC through the main FBI headquarters. The downstream field offices were then shut down by administrative labeling, and the issues they uncovered were eliminated. This is a familiar process to those who have followed the deep weeds of how the FBI operates.
The importance of the Grassley letter goes beyond Joe and Hunter Biden; it cuts to the heart of a system of corruption within the FBI that many Americans became familiar with in the aftermath of the FBI activity against Donald Trump in the Russiagate storyline. The FBI is metastatically corrupt, with the origin of the cancer in Washington DC, and the efforts of the Foreign Influence Task Force becoming the method to spread the corrupt infection nationally.
The Grassley letter originates from information provided by whistleblowers inside the FBI who were subjected to having their investigations nulled by Washington DC. Apparently, some of those who had time, effort and investigative resources dedicated to the honest investigation of the Biden family scheme, did not like seeing their investigations shut down simply because Christopher Wray and other politically active leaders in the DC command center of the FBI did not want the Biden family exposed.
This pattern of activity, the institutional preservation issue, is exactly what was noted in the previous Trump-Russia targeting effort. Former AG Bill Barr and all of the officers and investigative officials therein, were also in alignment with this institutional preservation approach. The FBI throwing a bag over the Biden corruption schemes, is yet another example of a decision to preserve a corrupt system rather than allowing the American public to see it, thereby running the risk of collapse.
I would strongly urge everyone to take the time to read the 7-page outline provided by Senator Grassley’s office, along with the investigative staff and resources of Senator Ron Johnson. While they are unnamed, I am certain that I have personally met some of the people who put this outline together.

[…] “It is unclear how many confidential human sources, or how many of their reports, were categorized as disinformation by the Foreign Influence Task Force, but the whistleblower told Grassley that the FBI’s improper branding of the information as “disinformation” “caused investigative activity to cease.”
~ Margot Cleveland, Federalist
Beyond the details, granular information, citations and evidence, what becomes crystal clear is that every root and branch of the FBI is now politically corrupt. It is an institution now more akin to the Russian FSB than it is to a USA national investigative agency. It simply cannot be reformed.
The U.S. Dept of Justice and FBI are now political institutions that have abandoned their originating mission in order to become the domestic equivalent of the Soviet-era FSB. Their joint targeting mechanisms have been redesigned to support the interests of corrupt DC politicians – specifically the interests of Democrats. Grassley is giving specifics to what has been visible for years.
This is why and how the Fourth Branch of U.S. Government is now the superseding apparatus above all other branches. {GO DEEP} This is why and how Barack Obama, John Brennan and Eric Holder created it, cemented it, and made it impervious to any effort to remove it.
The Fourth Branch of Government is evil Sauron, and Washington DC is Mordor. The corrupt media have aligned with it; they are preserving it; and the institutions in/around the DC system are self-aware, acting to support it and fully autonomous.
Additionally, to overlay their ability to monitor every single aspect of every life that might seek to challenge or destroy it, the end game of surveillance outlined by Edward Snowden is active.
The next time Wray is testifying bring in the military police and arrest him for treason
The military police have no jurisdiction.
… a self governing country has jurisdiction…
imho
They don’t come any dirtier than Wray.
Nonsense. How about Comey?
And Rosenstein and Barr.
So many to choose from!!!
or the sgt at arms drag him to the capital jail.
let’s force the constitutional crisis already.
that is a potential,,,, they last used the congressional jail in the 19th century if I recall.
Need to call up Marshall law. or involve the Insurrection act.
They sold us our for power and money
Evil Walks Among Us: Monsters with Human Faces Wreak Havoc on Our Freedoms – John Whitehead article title.
The title has been sticking with me all day.
Human nature leans toward denial that a few of the faces we see each day are Evil Monsters. That is not an operationally useful posture at this point.
Grassley directs us immediately to gaze you know where – Evil Monsters right there.
Whoever the forces are behind bringing the Middle East to a boil – Evil Monsters right there, including diplomats who don’t exercise diplomacy, only force.
Psalms 12:8
The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.
Once upon a time, the DOJ and FBI fought organized Crime.
Then the DOJ and FBI became organized crime.
Having the new House Speaker is going to embolden a lot of people. Courage is contagious. Leadership is respected. Matt Gaetz is a hero. Took a lot of nerve to do what he did. This kind of s*** has been there in plain sight for a long time, but the p*** ys in charge were scared to touch it. Wolverines! Let’s go.
If the new House Speaker has any balls then we will see some needed changes.
Don’t hold your breath. IF the new speaker was going to confront this evil, he never would’ve received 220 unanimous votes from Republicans. And balls in the Republican Party are as scarce as personal character is in the Democrat Party.
Did you watch video of Matt Gaetz talking to Bannon about how election of new SOH was brought about – despite Kevin McCarthy’s dirty dealings? Interesting and vid’s not too long.
https://rumble.com/v3rloms-rep.-gaetz-mccarthy-camp-sabotaged-mike-johnsons-speaker-vote-to-protect-dc.html
Now we know the dirty little games they love to play.
They got pinned in a corner, any who didn’t go along with Johnson were revealed as helping McCarthy, who it was realized and revealed, was thwarting the process to be re-elected. And why was he elected in the first place, because of his connections to the ‘big donors’. Back then, Republicans were not exactly rushing to give him/donors the gavel and power. Didn’t take much to get them all to go along, including McCarthy, when if you didn’t, it meant you stood with those McCarthy represented.
I believe if given all the facts….He will vote by his Faith.
Hope and, especially, pray!!!
I’m expecting a lot of false flags due to the change in speakership.
They can’t allow legitimate/honest players to capture the board nor dictate the rules. It’s gonna get ugly over the next year.
Kinda hard to false flag war.
All eyes remain laser focused, not just on Biden, but those in charge of any government apparatus for bad actions by bad actors.
A guy shot how many people and is on the loose, but what is the premier headline, US fired Its first shots in the Middle East.
J6 was a battle, not a war.
Regardless, the resources needed for another J6 seem to be depleted, or unwilling to be wasted, given the growing Independent Party majority sucking up Biden Crime Family media, which has recently, inexplicably, been allowed sunlight.
About the same time Obama pulled up stakes.
Hopefully he doesn’t get away unscathed.
One bad guy at a time it seems.
Sadly, I’m expecting another huge pallet of cash (figuratively) going overseas to help pad the retirement packages of dirty Congress
Once the dust settles and the money starts flowing again, we’ll wind up on the short end…again
If only the P***y’s in charge would shut down the Patriot act then the IC loses it’s power. No Data No blackmail.
As my Congressman said, it was just not the right time to remove McCarthy. It is never the right time for people like that.
It is always the right time for people like Treepers.
And then, is it possible?
I doubt it would surprise to many here in CTH.
BREAKING: Allegedly Mark Meadows worked for the FBI as an informant and wore a wire to record all conversations with President Trump, while he was the Chief of Staff to him.
Baloney, do not believe that crapola. It is media and deep state misinformation.
It was supposed to say:
I doubt it wouldn’t surprise to many here in CTH, if this was fake news.
HE DID NOT wear a wire. Sometimes, people on our side are the spreaders of lies. SEE Sundance’s new post,
no way
Not true.
Wouldn’t surprise me. Pence was a rat from the beginning and was instrumental in Flynn’s firing.
Fight organized crime
Defund the FBI
Hang ‘Em High. Great movie. I highly recommend it
First Satan created the Mafia. That was just for practice. Then Satan created the FBI and declared that he had achieved perfection.
Years ago when I first read “The Godfather” by Mario Puzo, I was 11 or 12 and Mom would read my books AFTER I read them with some chagrin. “Steven, you shouldn’t have read that!” although she was a faster reader and loved everything I got. I remember on the page before the first there was a few quotes from actual mobsters commenting on how a guy they had hanging in the air reacted to their cattle prod. Today’s FBLies cattle prod is absolute destruction of your entire life efforts to provide for your family via IRS or false charges. I am disgusted with this O’Biden regime.
I still love the Godfather. Wrote a paper on the novel/film which we watched in sophomore year of HS as part of my Catholic religion classes. My essay was too advanced for my contemporaries. Yet my paper was frequently re-used/re-submitted by my friends that attended another Catholic HS, always receiving at least a B+. The theme was alienation. Michael Corleone, reluctantly assuming power, slowly acquires more power but at the expense of his most cherished relationships until he becomes completely alienated from those he loves.
It’s been longer than that.
Disband the F.B.I & bring those involved to justice….There is no other option.
AMEN!
As Sundance says – this damaging info will be avoided by the media.
More explosive, but not surprising, information. Not getting worked up over this, because nothing will come of it.
The fox is still guarding the hen house.
thats right. aint no easy way out here. the tree of liberty thirsts for blood of tyrants.
I think some in the alt media will cover it; and who cares about the, “MSM”?
This information reinforces the outrage already felt in a small segment of the internet. The MSM smothers it and too many people will never know or hear about it, and if they do it will be labeled misinformation. If possible the majority in the House should shut the government down, no budget or authorization. But seriously do you think the government will stop paying whomever they wish. They don’t follow any laws now.
I did a search and found many places carrying it.
Mostly people don’t have time. Looks like someone is trying to dilute the effect with a plethora of puff pieces about how many marriages have come out of Grassley’s office.
Also found Chuck Grassley speaking on behalf of 3 CBP
whistleblowers who worked for the department of MASS DESTRUCTION and were upset that DNA and fingerprint wasn’t taken from detainees and they have been severely retaliated against for trying to protect US.

It would be easier to make rivers run backwards than to reform the FBI.
Earthquakes sometimes do that.
And drought apparently.
Bottom line is we will never vote our way out of this mess because DC is run by a bunch of corrupt permanent Washington bureaucrats. Voting for elected officials only gives us the illusion of choice. ” its a big club and we are not in it ” ……………… George Carlin.
I wouldn’t doubt it:
“For the past year and a half there were suspicions throughout Trumpworld and beyond that Meadows was wearing a wire for the feds
Now many saying that has been confirmed today”

This is just Gag Order-bait for the duly re-elected President of the United States.
Problem is nothing will happen to JOE and the Corrupt Biden Crime Family. None of the others will ever be brought up on charges either.
JOE will go off into the wild blue yonder with all the money he made off the Taxpayers and his deals using his great son, Hunter.
But then he will be welcomed home by Satan.
Sometimes we have to be satisfied with the knowledge that God will handle it and eternity is a long time.
We don’t know who of us will be saved….all that is required is to accept Jesus as your savior….Will Biden do that? We don’t know only God does.
Then, there’s that man of integrity, D Jamie Raskin, a brother -in-arms to Adam Schiff.
(11) Oversight Committee on X: “🚨 BREAKING 🚨 Former U.S. Attorney Scott Brady’s testimony CONFIRMS Ranking Member Raskin LIED about the FBI’s Biden Bribery Record.

What else would one expect from a red – diaper baby?
The question no one seems to want to ask is how many of these other scumbags have received payments to offshore accounts from China, Ukraine, or other countries for their efforts to overthrow our government? Surely they got something in return for their coverups. Deep dives into all the “book deals,” speaking engagements, consulting fees, etc. Follow the money and it will eventually tell you the source. My bet is China launders a lot of payments through the book deals and Mark Zuckerberg(his Chinese wife) or some of the other leftist billionaires and/or organizations.
How many other scumbags received payments? All of them. The entire government is corrupt.
I remember one time as a kid, I went to the main post office and saw a ten most wanted by the FBI set of pictures.
Now, there should be a set of ten (at least) pictures of the most wanted of the FBI
Quick video tells a story. https://youtube.com/shorts/lY878VPip3U?si=-ci80aKIcAd0Qi3w

The World’s Biggest Axis of Evil is right here at home !
The Biden Administration, the DOJ and the FBI.
I will be impressed with Grassley when he and his staff state that they are going to expose the truth, and that this exposure is MORE important than preserving either the institution or national security.
Maybe they need us to step up.
The SWAMP is going to go even crazier. The SWAMP’S CORRUPT DOJ & FBI ARE EXPOSED. MAYBE THEY WILL JUST EAT EACH OTHER.
I wish. But it will take the return of Jesus Christ to straighten out this pile of dung.
Where are the Republican Attorney Generals and DAs to go after some of the Democrat crime? I’m sure some of the Dem’s crime falls under Republican Attorney Generals and DAs, but all I see is Democrat lawfare now escalated to nuclear lawfare. Look what Fani Willis is doing, stepping out of her bounds, multiple false charges, overcharging, charging RICO literally forcing many of the 19 to take a plea bargain. This is symbolically equivalent to inflicting each with 100 lashes while inescapably strapped to the post, then putting salt in the wounds. These are tactics well-honed under the National Socialist German Workers’ Party. What’s next, Biden Youth, euthanasia of the healthy, police state, informants in churches and schools, mutilating children, kangaroo courts, fascist edicts weekly out of the White House, labeling half the nation as hate mongers worthy of J6 gulags, bankrupting and jailing political enemies. The Dems are erasing the Constitution letter by letter, all you can read now is “We th ?????”. We seem to be whistling past the graveyard, no opposition in sight.
Where are the Republican Attorney Generals and DA’s going after the smurfing money laundering operation as shown in the James O’Keefe video?
I was listening to a local talk radio host today. She had on an individual from group (don’t recall the name) talking about the massive money laundering operation they uncovered that went on all across the nation.
Fani received massive amounts from this, Alvin Bragg received massive amounts from this, the raging leftist now installed on the WI Supreme Court received over $12 million.
ANY DA in ANY jurisdiction anywhere in the nation can not only find these people who had their identities stolen and used for this, but State AG’s can bring RICO charges against Act Blue and those laundering money through them.
You want to start slicing the snake, go after their money. Go after those who received it. Go after those foot soldiers who processed it. Go after the billionaires like Reid Hoffman who funds it. Go after the banks who facilitated it.
I recall a Congressional investigation into the Act Blue mo ey was initiated. Just a couple of mini headlines. Nothing since. Your point about going after the money is right on. Start with the foot soldiers, as you suggest, and really big things might happen quickly. Good post. Thanks.
When letters don’t work, what can the Senate Oversight committee do? Enough is enough! Wray & Garland need to be impeached and arrested.
So the FBI and Justice were all in on Russiagate with both barrels blazing from the outset, but anything Biden is just foreign skulduggery that needn’t be examined at length. Government entities will probably argue that they were being extra cautious with the Biden matter after having been duped over the Steele memo. See, they learned a valuable lesson over the mistakes made involving President Trump. We should all be proud.
When the two approaches are juxtaposed, it becomes all the more disgusting and outrageous. Heads need to roll, or it will get worse.
All the more reason we need the Seth Rich truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
Thank you, Senator, for your “strongly worded letter.” Because we know that the many official crime syndicates which permeate DC abide by the oath of omertà. No matter how thoroughly these crimes may be uncovered, nothing will ever actually be done about it. They will walk away scot-free.
Tony Bobulinski, a former Navy lieutenant and business partner of Hunter Biden, identified Joe Biden in person. And all we get is *yawn*…
“The way it worked would be central FBI command would label an investigative lead as “disinformation”, and that would throw a bag over the field office outcome.”
Sundance, from what I was reading earlier today about this, I got the sense this Foreign Influence Task Office was not only set up to throw a bag over whatever Biden turd floated to the surface, but they actively sought out any information some other office might have before it floated up.
Sort of a pre-emptive strike.
In the reporting I read today, it provided a few details about some inquiry from a field office, and this task force wanted to make sure if anything else popped up, they would be aware of it and ready to discredit it.
Do you know of any other reporting that suggests this task force was seeking out derogatory information from their field offices?
So this talk by Sam Faddis to Hillsdale College is primarily about the demise of the CIA over the years, it applies to the FBI and most certainly, the DOJ. Very informative.
https://freedomlibrary.hillsdale.edu/programs/cca-i-u-s-intelligence-history-and-controversies/the-rise-and-fall-of-the-cia
Note there are several talks posted by Hillsdale from other speakers on the Intelligence agencies.
Chuck Schumer needs to be questioned —on ‘live tv’ about his, “FBI” will get you “six ways to Sunday” statement.
-He was quite adamant.
Staple Grassley’s report to the FBI FY2024 budget request and rubber-stamp it “Returned Without Action”
If the DOJ and FBI have been subverted to serve only the interests of Democrats and destroy Republicans why do the R’s not blow the whistle anfd fight back? They roll over. In fact a supposed Republican AG, Barr, did nothing to change any of this. In fact he helped the corrupt elements prevail.
…analogy of corrupt coercion tactic …
…does anyone know of someone that was coerced with a gene therapy treatment = and kept a job (trade off)…( and has had second thoughts) ?
Could that relate to some people being capable of being coerced into silence about some other ‘deal’?
hmmm….
It is because of the Patriot act and it’s data collection powers.
It is past time we start educating the public on the whole idea of illusion of choice and the truth about Newsom same way we did early on with DeSantis….
Think of it like a flu shots inducing natural immunity to a real flu virus before the real virus shows up.
We can weed out the dormant viruses in the process.
Desantis is NOT GOOD for the MAGA partu
On top of the 40 human source informants the FBI rec’d 70 Suspicious Activity Reports (SAR) from a dozen banks describing in detail $40 Million in payments to the Biden Crime Family from Russia, China and Ukraine which the FBI and DOJ totally ignored! Banks employ retired IRS Agents in their money laundering sections who prepare detailed Excel Spreadsheets with exhibits documenting the criminal activity and providing the evidence to federal law enforcement on a silver platter!
Understand, that AG BARR and FBI Director Wray had possession of these SAR Reports for three years while President Trump was under FBI investigation for the Russian Collusion Dossier hoax.
It’s really hard to comprehend the derelection of duty, malfeasance and incompetence of AG BARR and Chris Wray!
You are too kind.
Mike Pence was no more interested in the malfeasance than were Barr or Wray.
Crickets from all three. Crickets and treachery.
Pence may yet manifest an excuse; Jesus may have kept him too busy to have time to be bothered with a substantive defense of the President of the United States or the nation that depends of POTUS as Commander in Chief.
The callous grandure of Pence’s serial betrayal of trust and candor plus the apparent self-dealing ambitions seem to have been in play long before the infamous day of January 6, 2021.
Throwing a bag over it…
Reminds me of Hillary, by both Bill and the FiBbirs…
Disband the FILTHY FBI, DOJ, CIA.
States can beef up their own bureaus.
Stop electing Senators
The FBI has all of the dirt on FJB, that’s why they can manipulate every move.
This needs to be on X and Facebook and other platforms.
The FBI is merely protecting the REAL power behind Biden, i.e., Soros, Obama, Steyer, etc, etc.
What is also crystal clear is that the FBI will harshly tamp down on any talk of Presidential peccadilloes. Think Bill Clinton losing the nuclear codes to his Asian dry cleaner, or the weed smoked on the White House roof in Carter’s day, and they covered for every Republican President too. Except Trump. They spied, lied and perjured themselves over and over to get Trump. This is not normal, it has never been normal.
Defund all these alphabet agencies and lead poison the heads and 6 levels down. Start the cleanup.
Sorry. I’ve been on to the FBI since 9/11. My only doubt at the time was the face that so many people would have to be involved in the cover up that it seemed unrealistic. I don’t believe that anymore after the last several years. Killing 3,000 on 9/11 is nothing compared to what they’re up to nowadays. The COVID Vaxx has murdered hundreds of thousands at a minimum.
Truth is no longer a weapon of the righteous when the majority of the people are wicked. Are we there yet?
SHUT THEM DOWN.
Funny how that fat f*ck Bill Barr hasn’t been hitting the Sunday morning shows lately, eh? Uncomfortable questions about his silence during the first impeachment when he knew Trump was right about the Bidens and then killing the investigations altogether.
This sets the cross hairs directly over the problem. It also clearly shows that the criminals are not going to give up control and go away. We all knew that the reality looked something like this but just didn’t have all the specifics. Successful impeachment of Biden is a first step. But do you really think the Senate as presently configured will vote against the deep state? Not a chance.
Raise your hand if you think anybody is actually going to do anything about it other than write sternly worded letters and cue up some really nice soundbites
Waters does a decent job in his monologue of calling the FBI out. I’m sure he’ll pay for it later.
