This is just completely unbelievable. Sen Grassley has a whistleblower who claims that FBI agent Brian Auten shut down the FBI's criminal probe into Hunter and James Biden by assessing that the evidence against them was "disinformation".

Auten is the same crooked FBI agent who:

-"vetted" the Carter Page warrant

-drafted the phony ICA

-concealed that Danchenko disavowed Steele

-was involved in framing Gen Flynn.

VIA ELECTRONIC TRANSMISSION

The Honorable Merrick Garland

Attorney General

Department of Justice

The Honorable Christopher Wray

Director

Federal Bureau of Investigation

Dear Attorney General Garland and Director Wray:

On May 31, 2022, I wrote to you regarding likely violations of Federal laws, regulations

and Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”) guidelines by Assistant Special Agent in Charge

(“ASAC”) Timothy Thibault of the Washington Field Office (“WFO”) based on a pattern of

active public partisanship in his then public social media content. In that letter, I noted that

Congress has a constitutional responsibility to ensure that the Executive Branch executes the law

and uses taxpayer money appropriated to it in accordance with congressional intent. In

furtherance of that constitutional responsibility, Congress has an obligation to investigate the

Executive Branch for fraud, waste, abuse and gross mismanagement – acts which undermine

faith in the American people’s governmental institutions. Those constitutional and legislative

responsibilities apply to this letter to you. My letter also invited individuals, including current

and former government employees, to contact me and my office to confidentially report

allegations of fraud, waste, abuse and gross mismanagement by FBI and Justice Department

(“Department”) officials including, but not limited to, ASAC Thibault. In response, my office

has received a significant number of protected communications from highly credible

whistleblowers.

>>16840921

The information provided to my office involves concerns about the FBI’s receipt and use

of derogatory information relating to Hunter Biden, and the FBI’s false portrayal of acquired

evidence as disinformation. The volume and consistency of these allegations substantiate their

credibility and necessitate this letter.

First, it’s been alleged that the FBI developed information in 2020 about Hunter Biden’s

criminal financial and related activity. It is further alleged that in August 2020, FBI Supervisory

Intelligence Analyst Brian Auten opened an assessment which was used by a FBI Headquarters

(“FBI HQ”) team to improperly discredit negative Hunter Biden information as disinformation

and caused investigative activity to cease. Based on allegations, verified and verifiable

derogatory information on Hunter Biden was falsely labeled as disinformation.

The basis for how the FBI HQ team selected the specific information for inclusion in

Auten’s assessment is unknown, but in more than one instance the focus of the FBI HQ team’s

attention involved derogatory information about Hunter Biden. Accordingly, the allegations

provided to my office appear to indicate that there was a scheme in place among certain FBI

officials to undermine derogatory information connected to Hunter Biden by falsely suggesting it

was disinformation.

Importantly, it’s been alleged to my office that Auten’s assessment was opened in August

2020, which is the same month that Senator Johnson and I received an unsolicited and

unnecessary briefing from the FBI that purportedly related to our Biden investigation and a

briefing for which the contents were later leaked in order paint the investigation in a false light.

As Senator Johnson and I have publicly noted, on July 13, 2020, then-Minority Leader

Chuck Schumer, Senator Mark Warner, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Representative Adam Schiff

sent a letter, with a classified attachment, to the FBI to express a purported belief that Congress

was the subject of a foreign disinformation campaign.1 The July 13, 2020, letter included

unclassified elements that, among other things, unsuccessfully attempted to tie our investigative

work to foreign disinformation. Those unclassified elements were later leaked to the press to try

and smear our Biden investigation as unrelated foreign disinformation. Then, on July 16, 2020,

then-Ranking Member Peters and then-Ranking Member Wyden requested a briefing on matters

related to my and Senator Johnson’s Biden investigation from the very same FBI HQ team that

discredited the derogatory Hunter Biden information.2 The concurrent opening of Auten’s

assessment, the efforts by the FBI HQ team and the efforts by the FBI to provide an unnecessary

briefing to me and Senator Johnson that provided our Democratic colleagues fodder to falsely

accuse us of advancing foreign disinformation draws serious concern.

>>16840921

Second, it has been alleged that in September 2020, investigators from the same FBI HQ

team were in communication with FBI agents responsible for the Hunter Biden information

targeted by Auten’s assessment. The FBI HQ team’s investigators placed their findings with

respect to whether reporting was disinformation in a restricted access sub-file reviewable only by

the particular agents responsible for uncovering the specific information. This is problematic

because it does not allow for proper oversight and opens the door to improper influence.

Pelosi, and Chairman Adam Schiff, H. Select Comm. on Intelligence, to Fed. Bureau of Investigation (July 13, 2020),

2 Letter from Ranking Member Ron Wyden, S. Comm. on Fin., and Ranking Member Gary Peters, S. Comm. on HSGAC., to

Third, in October 2020, an avenue of additional derogatory Hunter Biden reporting was

ordered closed at the direction of ASAC Thibault. My office has been made aware that FBI

agents responsible for this information were interviewed by the FBI HQ team in furtherance of

Auten’s assessment. It’s been alleged that the FBI HQ team suggested to the FBI agents that the

information was at risk of disinformation; however, according to allegations, all of the reporting

was either verified or verifiable via criminal search warrants. In addition, ASAC Thibault

allegedly ordered the matter closed without providing a valid reason as required by FBI

guidelines. Despite the matter being closed in such a way that the investigative avenue might be

opened later, it’s alleged that FBI officials, including ASAC Thibault, subsequently attempted to

improperly mark the matter in FBI systems so that it could not be opened in the future.

The aforementioned allegations put a finer point on concerns that I have raised for many

years about political considerations infecting the decision-making process at the Justice

Department and FBI. If these allegations are true and accurate, the Justice Department and FBI

are – and have been – institutionally corrupted to their very core to the point in which the United

States Congress and the American people will have no confidence in the equal application of the

law. Attorney General Garland and Director Wray, simply put, based on the allegations that I’ve

received from numerous whistleblowers, you have systemic and existential problems within your

agencies. You have an obligation to the country to take these allegations seriously, immediately

investigate and take steps to institute fixes to these and other matters before you.

In light of the serious allegations and my ongoing investigation into Justice Department

and FBI misconduct, I expect you to provide the following no later than August 8, 2022, as a

preliminary matter so that Congress can perform an objective and independent review of the

alleged misconduct:

>>16840921

Just more disinformation by the Democrats, like the Russia, Russia, Russia Scam, Impeachment Hoax #1, Impeachment Hoax #2, the long running Mueller Report, which ended in No Collusion, and so much more. Now that we have found the answers to these crooked, election changing events, why is the Justice Department not prosecuting those responsible? Plenty of time left!

People forget, this is all about a Rigged and Stolen Election. But rather than go after the people that Rigged and Stole it, they go after the people that are seeking Honesty and Truth, and have Freedom of Speech, and many other defenses, on their side! Justice Department should look at The Crime of the Century. Evidence is massive and irrefutable!!!

The Georgia phone calls were PERFECT. Many people and lawyers, on both sides, were knowingly on the one call, I assumed the call was taped, there were Zero complaints or angry “how dare you” charges made during the call, and no “hang ups” by anyone aggrieved or insulted at what was said. THEY WERE PERFECT CALLS. I was just doing my job as President, and seeking Fairness and the Truth. The Election was Rigged and Stolen!
