New in PJ Media:
It’s a positive development, and long overdue: Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, announced on Monday that he would start proceedings to hold FBI Director Christopher Wray in contempt of Congress. Still, even though this is welcome news, Wray is unlikely to suffer any significant consequences, even if the full House votes that he is indeed in contempt of Congress. Can he be held in contempt of the American people?
Wray faces the prospect of being held in contempt of Congress because of the latest confirmation of the fact that the FBI is no longer a law enforcement agency, but a fetid cesspool of corruption that has been weaponized to persecute and destroy Donald Trump and other opponents of the Biden regime while sheltering Old Joe, his chip-off-the-old-block boy Hunter, and their henchmen from all possible consequences of their influence-peddling and other crimes.
Fox News reported Monday that Wray may get slapped with the contempt of Congress charge despite the fact that “the FBI brought the document in question – an FBI-generated FD-1023 form that allegedly describes a $5 million criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Joe Biden and a foreign national relating to the exchange of money for policy decisions – to Capitol Hill on Monday for Comer, R-Ky., and ranking member Jamie Raskin, D-Md., to review in a secure SCIF (sensitive compartmented information facility), resulting from a back-and-forth between committee Republicans and the bureau over whether it was in compliance of his subpoena.” This review only happened after Wray had repeatedly stalled and stonewalled in the face of requests from Comer for this document.
And Comer isn’t satisfied, charging that the FBI is still covering for the senescent kleptocrat who calls himself President of the United States: “Despite the accommodation, Comer said Monday that the FBI is still not in compliance with the subpoena to turn over the physical document to the committee.” Comer stated, “At the briefing, the FBI again refused to hand over the unclassified record to the custody of the House Oversight Committee. And we will now initiate contempt of Congress hearings this Thursday. Given the severity and complexity of the allegations contained within this record, Congress must investigate further. The investigation is not dead. This is only the beginning.”
That’s great, but Wray and Comer both know that while this may be only the beginning, it is also only the end, because Wray has friends and allies up and down the Washington establishment, and no matter what the House does, the elites will close ranks and do whatever it takes to cover for Old Joe and Hunter. The American people currently have no way to hold the FBI accountable, at a moment when the FBI needs to be held accountable more than ever.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Good or bad, problem is that Congress – be it House or Senate – has no teeth as long as the executive branch, under POTUS, simply does whatever they like. Only time we may see justice done is if the GOP wins back the White House, and hopefully the Senate w/ it. Then start a bureaucratic massacre across the board

FBI? More like the KGB.

The actions of the FBI are more and more like the secret Police of a third world dictatorship.

They pretty much are. Last week, Tara Reede, a former Congressional staffer who was raped by Joe Biden in the 90s, decided to apply for Russian citizenship. Contrast this w/ the Cold War era, when it was Russian citizens who were fleeing the Soviet Union whenever they could for any Western haven

Not to forget Edward Snowden!
OLD GUY says
Too many lawyers in Washington D.C. They tie up the legal system with endless paperwork to protect those in power. Investigations that take five years or allow the statute of limitations to run out before they finish investigating. You ever hear of that happening when a normal citizen is being investigated for fraud or theft?
