    We’ve known it was in the works for a while, but now, House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) has released a contempt resolution against FBI Director Christopher Wray. The resolution to hold Wray in contempt follows the FBI’s failure to comply with the subpoena directing the agency to turn over the FD-1023 form, revealed by a whistleblower, pertaining to purported bribery of then-Vice President Joe Biden by a foreign national. The committee will vote on the resolution on Thursday, at 9:00 am Eastern.

    The resolution is accompanied by a 16-page report setting forth the basis for it.

    The form of the resolution that the Committee on Oversight and Accountability would recommend to the U.S. House of Representatives for citing Christopher Wray, Director, Federal Bureau of Investigation, for contempt of Congress pursuant to this report is as follows:

    Resolved, That Christopher Wray, Director, Federal Bureau of Investigation, shall be found in contempt of Congress for failure to comply with a congressional subpoena.

    Resolved, That pursuant to 2 U.S.C. §§ 192 and 194, the Speaker of the House of Representatives shall certify the report of the Committee on Oversight and Accountability, detailing the refusal of Christopher Wray, Director, Federal Bureau of Investigation, to produce documents to the Committee on Oversight and
    Accountability as directed by subpoena, to the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, to the end that Director Wray be proceeded against in the manner and form provided by law.

    Resolved, That the Speaker of the House is authorized to take all appropriate action to enforce the subpoena.

    Along with the resolution, Comer released the following statement:

    We have been clear that the FBI must produce the unclassified FD-1023 record to the custody of the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability. To date, the FBI has refused to comply with our lawfully issued subpoena and even refused to admit the record’s existence up until a week ago. Once Director Wray confirmed the record’s existence, the FBI started their coverup by leaking a false narrative to the media. The case is not closed as the White House, Democrats, and the FBI would have the American people believe. The FBI created this record based on information from a credible informant who has worked with the FBI for over a decade and paid six figures. The informant had first-hand conversations with the foreign national who claimed to have bribed then-Vice President Biden. And now, Attorney General Barr has confirmed that the record was given to the U.S. Attorney in Delaware for the purpose of that investigation. Americans have lost trust in the FBI’s ability to enforce the law impartially and demand answers, transparency, and accountability. The Oversight Committee must follow the facts for the American people and ensure the federal government is held accountable.

    If you’re near your computer or TV on Thursday morning, you’ll want to grab the popcorn and tune into the Oversight hearing, as it promises to be interesting. RedState will, of course, continue to follow the story here, as well.

  • Comer Drops More Info on Missing Witnesses, Bribery Whistleblower, and Someone in WH Behind Intimidation

    House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) raised some important concerns with Fox’s Maria Bartiromo about the whistleblowers/witnesses that have come forward on their investigations into the Biden family foreign dealings scandal.

    We touched on it in an earlier post, but here are Comer’s comments to Fox’s Maria Bartiromo. He says about nine out of 10 witnesses who have provided information to the Committee are now “missing,” in court or jail, and that some of them “fear for their lives.”

    The people he’s talking about are the people that were involved in CEFC — that was the China-connected company that Hunter Biden was working with, and through which the Biden family received money. Is he referencing Tony Bobulinski? That would be an important loss if they didn’t have him, since he was involved in the partnership and knows so much. Comer said other people were those who knew information about the Biden influence-peddling schemes. He says not only is the Biden team trying to intimidate them, but the media is also trying to discredit them.

    Comer notes the Rasmussen poll saying that seven in 10 Americans strongly support the Committee’s work and are concerned that Joe Biden is involved in a corruption scheme.

    Bartiromo asks who in the White House is behind this intimidation. I don’t think she expected any response to that question. But you can see her eyebrows go up when Comer says that he does know who it is and they are “saving that for a later time.” That’s intriguing, but why not call the person out now, unless perhaps they are trying to trap whoever it is and nail them? Interestingly, after mentioning that person, he talks about Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) acting like a “criminal defense attorney for the Biden family.”

    That interview prompted some to think that Comer was talking about the Grassley whistleblower who has knowledge about the FBI 1023 form regarding the alleged bribery scheme — an “alleged criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Biden and a foreign national relating to the exchange of money for policy decisions.” Comer clarified that that wasn’t the case, that the reporting on that was wrong, and that whistleblower was not missing.

    “I do not watch @MSNBC but apparently they’ve been running stories saying the Grassley whistleblower is missing?” Comer laughed. “I’m sorry to disappoint the liberal defenders of taking bribes for cash, but the Grassley whistleblower is alive and well. It’s been a bad week for the Fake News!” he declared.

    It sounds like MSNBC might have been celebrating a bit prematurely there. Fortunately, it sounds like they have that person in a nice, safe place, to the sorrow of all the leftists who were celebrating that he/she might be gone. Comer has been trying to get the form from the FBI. However, so far they have not been complying. He has said they are going to demand compliance with their subpoena in order to get that form.

    That said, they need to come down hard on the White House for any intimidation here.
