‘Comply In Full’: Topics The Biden FBI Suppressed Are Now Getting New Attention From Congress

Jim Jordan calls on Kash Patel to deliver goods on Jan. 6, infiltrating churches, much more

There were a number of topics that members of Congress wanted to investigate while Joe Biden was in the White House.

For example, the FBI agents who were installed in the protest-turned-riot on Jan. 6, 2021. And the decision to label traditional Catholics as “violent extremists.” And the collusion between the Biden-Harris administration and Big Tech to suppress America’s First Amendment speech rights.

Then-FBI chief Christopher Wray simply declined to produce the documents that were needed.

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

But Wray is gone, Kash Patel is the new FBI chief and Rep. Jim Jordan now is asking him to move those investigations forward.

In a letter to Patel, Jordan, R-Ohio and the chief of the House Judiciary Committee, asked for help in conducting “oversight into misconduct of the Federal Bureau of Investigation during the Biden administration.”

One of the topics is the Biden administration’s “insertion” of federal agents into local school-board meetings.

“On October 4, 2021, then-Attorney General Merrick Garland issued a memorandum to then-FBI Director Wray on the subject of ‘Partnership Among Federal, State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial Law Enforcement to Address Threats Against School Administrators, Board Members, Teachers, and Staff,’ directing federal law enforcement resources to address a purported increase in school board-related threats.”

The FBI then created a “special threat tag” to use in those “investigations.”

But Congress, in asking for documentation of that agenda, got only “only a limited subset of internal communications regarding how the Justice Department could address purported threats at local school board meetings and made available to the committee in camera additional documents regarding cases opened using the special threat tag.”

But Jordan noted the FBI “should possess additional responsive documents and communications referring or relating to the EDUOFFICIALS threat tag—including internal documents and communications regarding investigations categorized under the threat tag.”

Then there was the FBI’s labeling of Catholics as “violent extremists,” which resulted in agents being “inserted” into places of worship.

The FBI’s response to that inquiry was “insufficient, ultimately leading the committee to issue a subpoena to the FBI for the requested documents and information on April 10, 2023.”

Even so, the committee believes the FBI has additional information that would be useful in an investigation.

The censorship scheme also saw questions left unanswered.

“During the 118th Congress, the Committee conducted extensive oversight of how and to what extent the executive branch coerced and colluded with technology companies and other entities to censor speech. The committee’s investigation, public reporting, and publicized discovery in an ongoing federal court case, Missouri v. Biden, revealed how the federal government, including the FBI, pressured and colluded with Facebook and other Big Tech entities to censor certain viewpoints in ways that undermined First Amendment principles.”

The letter cited the scandalous suppression of information from a laptop computer abandoned by Hunter Biden, a laptop that profiled nefarious activities by the Biden family.

The FBI took on an election interference agenda then, “by falsely telling social media companies that a ‘hack and leak’ involving the Biden family and Burisma would be part of a Russian disinformation operation.”

In fact, the FBI knew at the time that the information was accurate, but still portrayed it as disinformation.

Then there was the FBI use of “confidential human sources” during the Jan. 6 events, Jordan’s letter said.

Jordan explained to Patel, “We appreciate your leadership in refocusing the FBI on its public-safety mission and improving its transparency. Honoring the enclosed subpoenas would be a step in that direction and important to restoring public confidence in the FBI. Accordingly, we respectfully ask that you direct the relevant FBI employees to comply in full with the subpoenas by March 17, 2025.”
