I wonder if the evil doers will be called on the carpet, like maybe in the year 2525.

Every day we learn more why Obammie’s “17 intelligence communities” went bananas and started throwing tantrums when President Trump got elected. If the RATs and their homosexual “mainstream media” hadn’t spent 4 years trying to bring down President Trump with their communist insurrection, every one of Obammie’s “intellectuals” would have found their asses thrown in prison.

Meet the FBI Analyst Behind The Decade’s Biggest Political Disinformation Campaigns
(Trump-Russia collusion and is now accused of discrediting Hunter Biden stories)
https://freebeacon.com ^ | Chuck Ross • July 26, 2022
Posted on 8/7/2022, 1:03:09 AM by 11th_VA

Meet Brian Auten. The FBI analyst is hardly a household name, but whistleblowers who contacted the office of GOP senator Chuck Grassley say he was behind an August 2020 report that FBI officials used as part of a “scheme…to undermine derogatory information connected to Hunter Biden by falsely suggesting it was disinformation.”

Auten’s report also caused the FBI “to cease” investigative activity into the younger Biden, according to a letter Grassley sent the Justice Department and FBI.

The whistleblower allegations are the latest evidence of politicization at the FBI. Grassley, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said the allegations, if accurate, show the FBI and Justice Department are “institutionally corrupted to their very core.”

Auten was a key figure in Crossfire Hurricane, the counterintelligence investigation into Donald Trump’s potential ties to Russia. The Justice Department inspector general said in a December 2019 report that an FBI intelligence analyst who has since been identified as Auten “failed to advise” others at the FBI about inconsistencies in the Steele dossier, the controversial report the bureau used to investigate Trump...

Auten, an expert on Russia, pushed aggressively for surveillance warrants against Trump adviser Carter Page, according to the inspector general. He urged colleagues at the FBI in a Sept. 19, 2016, email to obtain Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act warrants against Page based on information in the dossier...

Auten also took part in several interviews in which the FBI withheld information that undercut the theory that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia. Auten and his colleagues failed to disclose that dossier author Christopher Steele, in an Oct. 3, 2016, interview, said that a purported source of his dossier was a “boaster or embellisher.” ...

The FBI whistleblowers told the Republican senator that “in August of 2020, FBI supervisory intelligence analyst Brian Auten opened an assessment, which was used by a team of agents at FBI headquarters to improperly discredit and falsely claim that derogatory information about Biden’s activities was disinformation, causing investigative activity and sourcing to be shut down.”

SEE ABOVE.

The Federalist’s reporting last week that noted that while the U.S. attorney’s office in Delaware pursued its investigation of Hunter Biden’s foreign business dealings, then-AG William Barr had directed the Pittsburgh U.S. attorney to review material purporting to show Hunter Biden’s involvement in criminal business dealings in Ukraine.

Smoking Gun: Newly Discovered Emails Confirm
Joe Biden Obstructed Justice For His Son’s Foreign Business Deal
By James D. Agresti, August 2, 2022

PIC Left to right: Joe Biden, Ukrainian oligarch Nikolai Zlochevskyi, and Hunter Biden

Newly discovered emails prove beyond all doubt that the “true purpose” of Hunter Biden’s lucrative deal with a Ukrainian energy company was for Hunter to get “high-ranking US officials” to visit Ukraine and persuade the nation’s leaders to “close down” all criminal “cases/pursuits against” the firm’s primary owner, a notoriously corrupt oligarch with ties to Russia.

Documentation of this illegal scheme begins with a widely overlooked email on Hunter’s laptop in which a top executive of the Ukrainian firm describes the plan. Now, emails uncovered by Just Facts prove that Hunter and his partners explicitly agreed to this deal.......and bconcealed the names of top U.S. officials to “be on the safe and cautious side.”.......affirmed that only Hunter could credibly promise to get those officials to shield the oligarch from criminal charges.

Just one month later, then-Vice President Joe Biden did exactly what those emails specified by visiting Ukraine and threatening to withhold U.S. aid unless the prosecutor investigating Hunter’s cash cow was fired. Moreover, Biden did this by going after two “key targets” identified in the emails: the “President of Ukraine” and the “Prosecutor General.”

The Background

In April 2014, Vice President Biden traveled to Ukraine and gave a speech to its legislators in which he promised that the U.S. would help Ukraine increase its fossil fuel production to make it less dependent on Russian energy. In that very same month: the largest private natural gas producer in Ukraine, a company named Burisma, appointed Joe Biden’s son Robert “Hunter” Biden and his business partner to the company’s board.
the primary owner of the natural gas company—a corrupt oligarch named Nikolai Zlochevskyi who had financial and political ties to Russia—personally approved Hunter’s hiring.

Burisma began making a series of payments totaling at least $3.3 million over the next 18 months to a Delaware corporation, which paid $708,312.40 directly to Hunter and $2.5 million to entities associated with Hunter.
the oligarch’s London bank accounts were seized by British officials in a money laundering investigation.

Nearly a year later in February 2015, the U.S. State Department and the FBI learned that Zlochevskyi allegedly bribed Ukrainian prosecutors to shut down criminal investigations of him. Thus, the government of Ukraine replaced the chief prosecutor with a new one who reopened investigations into the oligarch.

At this time, Burisma was paying $166,666.66 per month to the Delaware company that was paying Hunter.

The “Ultimate Purpose”

In November 2015, a top executive of Burisma named Vadym Pozharskyi wrote an email to Hunter and his partners in which he:

criticized a proposal they sent to him because it was “lacking concrete tangible results that we set out to achieve in the first place” and did not “offer any names of top US officials” or “Ukrainian officials” to help the company’s owner (“Nikolay”) improve “his situation in Ukraine.”
stated that if they left these names out of their proposal “to be on the safe and cautious side, I can understand the rationale.”
instructed them to “proceed immediately” with enlisting “high-ranking US officials” to “visit” Ukraine and persuade “the highest level of decision makers” to “close down” all “cases/pursuits against” the owner.
identified the “President of Ukraine” and the “Prosecutor General” as two of the “key targets.”
repeatedly reminded them that closing down these cases was the “true purpose” and the “ultimate purpose” of their “engagement” with Burisma and “all our joint efforts.”
Despite the shocking nature of Burisma’s email, which was first revealed by Tucker Carlson of Fox News in October 2020, no other major news outlet has reported on it.

Just Facts, a research and educational institute, has now uncovered Hunter and his partners’ replies to that email among the 100,000+ emails on Hunter’s laptop. They show beyond all doubt that Hunter and his partners agreed to this deal, which Joe Biden followed to a tee.

“Wray agreed that any conduct against whistleblowers was ‘unacceptable’ and that the department had a ‘number of mechanisms’ in place to protect whistleblowers. “

Translation: “When we discover who the whistleblowers are, the lives of them and their families will be a living hell forever. We’re really good at doing that.”

The FBI will take no action against whistleblowers....they'll leave the character assassination entirely up to their hatchet men and womyn in the MSM. Ask Gary Aldrich how that works.

Yes, but we all knew this. So what? Smarmy Wray won’d go anything, Grand Moff Garland won’t do anything. There is no accountability whatsoever of the INSTITUTIONS of our government, only selected conservatives.
