Summary

The last few weeks have not been good for the FBI. New findings from two congressional inquiries have exposed several instances where FBI personnel actively impeded investigations and tipped off Hunter Biden’s attorneys to a planned search of a storage facility belonging to him. Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) challenged current FBI Director Christopher Wray last week about approving surveillance of parents who spoke up against policy decisions at local school board meetings and about a local field office’s surveillance conducted against Latin-Mass Catholics as possible “domestic terrorists.”

Research that resonates.

0:05.7

Schweitzer has not been wrong on any of his years and years of reporting on the Biden's.

0:12.4

Investigations that matter.

0:14.4

If your last name wasn't Biden, do you think you would have been asked to be on the board of Burisma?

0:19.0

I don't know. I don't know. Probably not. But that's, you know, I don't think that there's a lot of things that would have happened in my life that if my last name wasn't fired me. The only entities, the only people that would report on this, and Peter Schweizer, who deserves a medal of freedom, in my view. This is The Drill Down with Peter Schweitzer.

Hello and welcome to The Drill Down, where we drill down on cronism and corruption in the federal government in Washington, D.C.

0:45.1

In for Peter Schweitzer once again is me, Eric Eggers, alongside Seamus Bruner, the director of research here at the Government Accountability Institute.

0:52.0

And we are here today to continue to document

0:54.7

and talk about the latest developments in this emerging Justice Department scandal. We've been

0:59.6

following how it started as a Biden department scandal, Shamus, and now it's become a justice

1:04.7

department scandal. We've seen testimony from FBI director Chris Ray this past week, and he was, I think, you know, thoroughly

1:12.6

vetted by the House Oversight Republicans. And we also have a new report from Jim Jordan,

1:17.4

who's been investigating specifically how the federal government, certain aspects of it, have been

1:21.2

weaponized under the Biden administration. Takeaways from this most recent week, you've done a lot

1:26.9

of TV interviews. What are the things you've been asked the most about? Well, a lot on the Chris Ray testimony, which I have said and many have remarked on how evasive and non-responsive he was. It's kind of par for the course for Ray and the FBI, just deny, deny, deny. You know, there's nothing, there's nothing wrong with the FBI. I stop asking questions.

1:45.7

So, yeah, that was interesting.

1:48.5

I think this weaponization report on the Ukraine stuff is very interesting

1:52.9
