If only you could see all the memes we have on file for him&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, a quick update: a bit back we mentioned that a whistleblower was talking to SEN. Grassley&#8217;s investigation of Hunter Biden, alleging FBI cover-up, failure to follow through on tips, etc? Grassley&#8217;s asked the FBI for some of their procedural forms (FD-1023 if you really want to know) to see their records &#8230;the FBI denied access and essentially say these are unevaluated accusations hence not releasable. Well, we are up to multiple whistle-blowers saying the same thing. The White House response is lovely:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Ian Sams, the White House spokesperson for oversight and investigations, also said in response to the GOP letter, &#8220;For going on five years now, Republicans in Congress have been lobbing unfounded, unproven, politically-motivated attacks against the President and his family without offering evidence for their claims or evidence of decisions influenced by anything other than U.S. interests.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He added, &#8220;When it comes to President Biden&#8217;s personal finances, anybody can take a look: he has offered an unprecedented level of transparency, releasing a total of 25 years of tax returns to the American public.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/whistleblowers-fbi-procedures-not-followed-024841679.html\">CBS News<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Funny how different people keep saying the same thing. And how the FBI ignores that if you don&#8217;t bother evaluate information fairly, it remains unevaluated. Duh&#8230;\u00a0 And of course we&#8217;d believe Joe&#8217;s tax returns&#8230;as much as Al Capone&#8217;s. Is there a specific 1099 for bribes?
