1. REVERSE-BIAS: How the FBI protected Donald Trump

FBI SA Johnathan Buma investigated both Hunter Biden and Rudy Giuliani when Dimdonnie wanted to frame innocent private American citizens. Guess who the FBI bosses lifted more than a finger to investigate? The author of the op-ed below suggests where Gym Jordan and his Congressional colleagues will find evidence of a weaponized DoJ.



REVERSE-BIAS: How the FBI protected Donald Trump

by JASON MICIAK
Washington Press, August 19, 2023

Excerpt…

But when Buma would discuss Giuliani’s activities and possible crimes, he was shut down and shut out. (Giuliani said, “Of course, I did” when asked if he urged Ukraine to investigate the Bidens.)

This all happened in 2019 under President Trump, then-Attorney General Bill Barr, and the current FBI Director, Christopher Wray.

This may be one of the few exceptions when it seems that an entire department did have one intention, to protect Donald Trump — and thereby protect itself.

So Buma was theoretically the perfect person to testify to Jim Jordan’s “weaponization of government” committee, where Buma said he would act as a whistleblower about the FBI’s constant pursuit of Trump and its pro-Biden stance.

Snip…

As described in The New Yorker report:

“The Republicans, however, were in no rush to publicize what Buma had to say—perhaps because his account ran against their preferred story line. Buma said that, during the Trump Administration, Bureau officials hardly covered up for the Bidens: his fellow-agents jumped on any new scrap of information about Hunter’s foreign business dealings, even though the resulting investigation never produced evidence of illegal corruption.”

“Instead, in Buma’s telling, agency leaders had moved repeatedly to squash his investigation of possible Russian and Ukrainian ties to Giuliani. Not only did the Trump Administration Attorney General William Barr appear to shut down an active investigation of Giuliani in 2020; Buma has charged that, even under the Biden Administration, agency overseers seemed determined to silence some of the most important sources feeding his Giuliani reporting.”
