- Members of Congress say FBI Director Christopher Wray confirmed the existence of the document but is continuing to refuse to provide it.
- Congress was alerted to the existence of the document by a whistleblower.
- Congress has subpoenaed the document, but Wray has violated the subpoena.
- Congress is threatening to hold Wray in “contempt.”
- (Nothing happened to the last administration official held in contempt.)
Key members of Congress in the House and Senate are urging FBI Director Christopher Wray to turn over unclassified records “alleging a criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Joe Biden and a foreign national.”
So far, Wray has balked, in defiance of a Congressional subpoena, even though the public owns the records, and the public and Congress have the right to see them.
A whistleblower brought the existence of the documents to the attention of Congress. Rep. James Comer (R-Kentucky) and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) issued a statement saying Wray has confirmed the documents exist and are real.
In 2012, the House voted 255-67 to hold Obama Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress for withholding documents related to the Justice Department’s Fast and Furious scandal, uncovered by my reporting at CBS News. It was the first time Congress took that action against a sitting Cabinet official.
Nothing happened to Holder, though, after the vote.

| Grassley & Comer to Wray: Provide the Unclassified Documents or Face Contempt |
| WASHINGTON – House Committee on Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) and Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) today issued the following statements after their discussion with FBI Director Christopher Wray about producing to Congress the unclassified, FBI-generated record alleging a criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Joe Biden and a foreign national. “While the FBI has apparently leaked classified information to the news media in recent weeks, jeopardizing its own human sources, it continues to treat Congress like second class citizens by refusing to provide a specific unclassified record. Director Wray confirmed what my whistleblowers have told me pursuant to legally protected disclosures: the FBI-generated document is real, but the bureau has yet to provide it to Congress in defiance of a legitimate congressional subpoena. This failure comes with consequences,” Grassley said. “Today, FBI Director Wray confirmed the existence of the FD-1023 form alleging then-Vice President Biden engaged in a criminal bribery scheme with a foreign national. However, Director Wray did not commit to producing the documents subpoenaed by the House Oversight Committee. While Director Wray – after a month of refusing to even acknowledge that the form existed – has offered to allow us to see the documents in person at FBI headquarters, we have been clear that anything short of producing these documents to the House Oversight Committee is not in compliance with the subpoena. If the FBI fails to hand over the FD-1023 form as required by the subpoena, the House Oversight Committee will begin contempt of Congress proceedings,” said Chairman Comer.

Using holding Holder in contempt is a VERY poor example since zero happened to him after his defying congress.
Put Wray in jail. Forever.
They could use the debt ceiling legislation as leverage but they’re c****.
Begin the defunding of the FBI and DOJ. You’ll get the documents in a flash!
Bingo…
Exactly. If the FBI believes it is above Congress defund them.
It is time Congress starts flexing its constitutional powers and curb the behemoth executive branch.
That empty threat “contemp” needs to be changed from “hold x in contempt of congress” to illegally refuses to cooperate” and should lead to him being placed in a dungeon for 100 years.
The House has the power of the purse. And a jail cell in Congress. Use BOTH of these tools, in other words, grow a spine for God’s sake!
Politicians are as useless as cat poop. They stink. And are best when buried.
True that.
I beg your pardon, our cat’s poop makes all the bushes grow big and strong!
This is starting to smell like a false flag op by Biden’s regime.
Treason in small letters is still
TREASON
Foreign National MY FJB HE IS A BAD MAN
Did I understand this correctly where wray is investigating criminal activity involving a narcissistic gaffing moron, who is also a pedophile, and a foreign national? Sounds like an impeachment and conviction followed by an indictment and a conviction….. maybe treason!
UNLESS THEY TOTALLY DEFUND THE FBI, END THEM, THEY WILL GET NOTHING.
They are ball less. They will not risk their free ride to riches and will sacrifice us on the alter of their
god, money.
All hat no cattle!
Everyone seems to forget that only Holder could bring up charges against Holder in 2012. Today, only Garland can bring charges against Wray. Not gonna happen… again…
It should be obvious to everyone by now they are wanting “We The People” to revolt so they can declare martial law.
Yep, but so far we have maintained the status quo. We are just letting them kill us slowly. When is the point of no return? Have we already reached it?
I believe the official story is they “investigated” this, and found nothing wrong. Except, they never really investigated anything.
We did a google search and our investigation turned up nothing unusual.
The DOJ doesn’t even try to appear honest anymore. They act corruptly, on behalf of the Democrats, OVERTLY. They have no fear.
Wray is compromised, he’s part of the underground globalist cabal. The President, most of Congress, courts are all in on it.
House Republicans are All Blow, No Go. Big Hat, no cattle. Talk a good game, but in the end, will just send an angry letter again to Wray. When people start getting perp walked and/or being bankrupt like Adam “shifty” Schiff, then maybe they’ll start getting the message.
It makes no difference at this point. This is a dead republic.
Summon him the the House chamber. Have the Sargeant at Arms arrest him cuff him, leg shackles and perp walk him to the January 6th pelosi dungeon. He can be charged with obstructing the business of the house.
To be expected in a dysfunctional government where there is accountability for only one party.
Wray is following in a long line of FBI “Professionals” in doing exactly what he wants to do. Comey said in his teachings at University of William and Mary that he cheerfully withheld information and spied on Trump while he was FBI director. This sort of behavior is truly a case of “Kings in the Kingdom” and has no business in a Republic.
Let me get this straight; the same FBI that went out of its way to falsify all the “evidence” on Trump is also the same FBI that is going out of its way to suppress the evidence on Biden, and I’M the one one that gets called names because I think this is wrong.
