Republican Rep. James Comer of Kentucky, the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, and Republican Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa wrote to the FBI on May 3 to demand that the agency produce a document that allegedly details a bribery scheme involving then-Vice President Joe Biden. Republican Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy said during a Tuesday appearance on “Fox and Friends” that a contempt of Congress charge could be an option if FBI Director Christopher Wray refused to turn over a subpoenaed document, which the FBI did not do even after a Wednesday phone call between Comer and Wray.

“I will tell you that there is no way that I would trust the current FBI or the Department of Justice on this,” Nunes told Trace Gallagher, who was guest-hosting “The Story with Martha MacCallum.” “And if I’m Comer, look at what happened in ‘17, and ‘18, and ‘19 and ‘20 with the whole Russia hoax, the Durham investigation, everything we uncovered. The FBI blocked us at every single corner.”

Is the FBI 'hopelessly corrupt'?

“There is no way in holy hell that Wray should be able to get away with what he got away with in ‘17, ‘18, ‘19, ‘20, ’21, ‘22 and don’t even get started on what Durham uncovered where essentially nobody was prosecuted at the DOJ and FBI,” Nunes said. “They are hopelessly corrupt, if I can put it lightly.”

IMPORTANT NOTE: “Election denier!” “Science denier!” “Climate-change denier!” “Conspiracy theorist!” And then there’s “hate speech,” “fake news,” “disinformation,” “misinformation,” even something called “MALinformation.” A bizarre new lexicon has been conjured up by America’s elites, the SOLE PURPOSE of which is to discredit and ridicule – and if at all possible, CENSOR ENTIRELY – speech that doesn’t support their increasingly dark and deranged agenda. Tucker Carlson is just the latest.

In the greatest imaginable irony, the nation once boasting the most robust culture of freedom of speech and the press – undergirded by the strongest constitutional protections for those rights – is now ground zero for a total war on free expression.

How could this possibly happen in the United States of America?
