BIG: Ric Grenell Strips FBI of Election Security Candidate Intelligence Briefings
The agency has been accused of political bias.
Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell has removed the FBI from the duty of election security intelligence briefings to presidential candidates, assigning briefing responsibility to the National Counterintelligence and Security Center.
Jack Posobiec reported on the development Friday afternoon.
Grenell’s move comes as the FBI comes under increased scrutiny and accusations of political bias for its track record during and after the 2016 presidential election. The agency appears to have been beset by a team of reactionary liberal partisans at the highest levels of its leadership during the last election, who engaged in misconduct during investigations that targeted the Donald Trump campaign with political motives.
Most recently the agency was busted for misconduct during the January 2017 investigation of former White House National Security Advisor Michael Flynn. FBI agents probing Flynn’s communications with Russian Ambassador Sergei Kislyak admitted in writing that they were considering how to “get him to lie” in order to secure his firing from the White House and press criminal charges on process crimes against the...
Jim Jordan requests Pompeo release docs that ‘appear to shed new light’ on Obama State Dept., Burisma
Republicans are requesting that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo turn over a broad scope of unredacted Obama-Biden State Department documents relating to Hunter Biden, Burisma Holdings and its founder Mykola Zlochevsky.
As noted by investigative reporter Sara Carter, the Ukrainian gas company was at the center of the impeachment inquiry against President Trump, and Rep. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, sent Pompeo a letter stating that recently released documents “appear to shed new light” on Democrat connections to the “notoriously corrupt” Burisma.

Jordan noted that Burismo made “a broad effort… to bring in well-connect Democrats during a period when the company was facing investigations.” Then-Vice President Joe Biden’s son and former Secretary John Kerry’s step son, Christopher Heinz, were among these individuals.
“During the House Democrats’ partisan impeachment inquiry in late 2019, several State Department officials described how they raised concerns during the Obama-Biden Administration about Hunter Biden’s role with Burisma,” the letter added.
Hunter Biden was reportedly paid over $80,000 a month to sit on Burisma’s board.
The documents showed former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch was briefed on Hunter Biden’s role with Burisma and alleged corruption at the company, Jordan said.
“Ambassador Yovanovitch testified during her impeachment deposition that she could not recall a briefing about issues relating to Burisma,” he then added.
Jordan also spoke of the role played by the alleged “whistleblower,” whose complaint drove the Democrat’s partisan impeachment ploy.
“In addition, according to news reports, other State Department documents show that the alleged ‘whistleblower’ who started the Democrats’ partisan impeachment inquiry also played a role in facilitating the Obama-Biden Administration’s interactions with the Ukrainian government relating to...
