Rep. James Comer (R-KY), Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, has put a number on the bribe to then vice president Joe Biden and that price was five million dollars. Comer also sent a letter to the corrupt director of the FBI, Christopher Wray threatening him with contempt charges. The FBI has in its possession a document known as form FD-1023 that details a bribe paid to Biden when he was vice president. That bribe is now known to be five million dollars.
The FBI is stalling, claiming that the subpoena was too broad, so Comer made it very specific right down to the amount of the bribe.
Comer wrote:
“…to narrow the breadth of the subpoena, we are providing additional terms based on unclassified and legally protected whistleblower disclosures that may be referenced in the FD-1023 form: “June 30, 2020” and “five million.”6 These terms relate to the date on the FD-1023 form and its reference to the amount of money the foreign national allegedly paid to receive the desired policy outcome.”
“Despite the Committee’s subpoena being narrowly tailored to June 2020, FBI staff indicated that the search terms were broad because there were many responsive documents containing the term “Biden” in its CHS database for that month.”
Comer posted the letter to Twitter with this message:
“FBI Director Wray is defying a congressional subpoena for an unclassified record alleging a criminal scheme involving then-VP Joe Biden and a foreign national. If Director Wray refuses to hand over this record, @GOPoversight will begin contempt of Congress proceedings.”
Wray has been given until May 30th to produce the document.

Link to letter (footnotes at source.)
The Honorable Christopher Wray
Director
Federal Bureau of Investigation
Director Wray:
On May 3, 2023, the Committee sent a letter to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) regarding legally protected and highly credible unclassified whistleblower disclosures.1 As previously stated, the whistleblower disclosures indicated that the FBI and Department of Justice (DOJ) are in possession of an FD-1023 form describing an alleged criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Biden and a foreign national relating to the exchange of money for policy decisions.2 That same day, the Committee also issued a subpoena requiring the production of:
[a]ll FD-1023 forms, including within any open, closed, or restricted access case files, created or modified in June 2020, containing the term “Biden,” including all accompanying attachments and documents to those FD-1023 forms.3
The subpoena return date was May 10, 2023.4 On May 15, 2023, Committee counsel attended an in-person meeting at FBI Headquarters. During that meeting, FBI staff failed to produce the FD-1023 form or offer any reasonable accommodation that would allow the Committee to review the document. Instead, FBI requested a second briefing. I expressed disappointment with the substance of that meeting in a May 19, 2023, letter to you.5
On May 16, 2023, Senator Grassley and I, through our staff, requested a phone call with you to discuss the FD-1023 form. Despite repeated requests, the FBI has failed to schedule a phone call. Senator Grassley and I remain open to speaking with you about the FD-1023 form.
On May 22, 2023, FBI staff and Committee counsel met for a second time, where FBI staff provided general information regarding its confidential human source (CHS) program. Similar to the May 15 meeting, FBI staff was not authorized to even acknowledge the existence of the FD-1023 form. There was only one substantive comment regarding the subpoena. Despite the Committee’s subpoena being narrowly tailored to June 2020, FBI staff indicated that the search terms were broad because there were many responsive documents containing the term “Biden” in its CHS database for that month. While that new information was alarming, Committee counsel offered to limit the subpoena to be even more precise. FBI staff responded that such limitation was unnecessary because they knew which document was responsive to the subpoena, yet simultaneously would not acknowledge that document’s existence. The FBI’s gamesmanship in holding a meeting about general CHS confidentiality issues—instead of addressing the specific FD-1023 form the Committee subpoenaed—is unacceptable.
The Committee is not seeking the identity of the CHS who provided the information to the FBI. Furthermore, there are reasonable accommodations that would alleviate the FBI’s concerns about exposing CHS information, including appropriate redactions. Instead of working with the Committee, the FBI has refused to even acknowledge whether the FD-1023 form exists. And the agency has made no attempts to engage in a reasonable accommodation process.
The FBI’s refusal to produce this single document is obstructionist. Nevertheless, to narrow the breadth of the subpoena, we are providing additional terms based on unclassified and legally protected whistleblower disclosures that may be referenced in the FD-1023 form: “June 30, 2020” and “five million.”6 These terms relate to the date on the FD-1023 form and its reference to the amount of money the foreign national allegedly paid to receive the desired policy outcome. Given the large number of FD-1023 forms with the word “Biden” in June 2020, these terms should assist the FBI in identifying the specific FD-1023 form at issue. Despite the FBI’s unreasonable delay, the Committee will allow FBI six more days to produce the FD-1023 form. To the extent there are numerous documents referencing “Biden” and “five million” dollar payments, please let us know promptly.
As explained in both previous letters, the Committee’s independent and objective review of this matter will inform potential legislative solutions that the Committee is exploring. Specifically, the Committee is considering legislation aimed at deficiencies in the current legal framework regarding disclosure of financial interests related to Vice Presidents and Presidents (and the family members thereof)—deficiencies that may place American national security at risk. The Committee is seeking meaningful reforms to government ethics and disclosure laws that will provide necessary transparency into a Vice President’s or a President’s (and their immediate family members’) income, assets, and financial relationship with foreign and domestic companies. Public corruption, influence peddling, federal ethics/financial disclosures regulations, and national security matters are directly within the purview of the Committee’s oversight authorities.
Your response to the subpoena is due May 30, 2023. If the FD-1023 form is not produced by that date, the Committee will initiate contempt of Congress proceedings. To ask any follow-up or related questions, please contact Committee staff at (202) 225-5074. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X. The subpoena was issued pursuant to my authority as the Chairman of the Committee pursuant to both Rule XI.2(m)(1)(B) of the Rules of the House of Representatives and Rule 12(g) of the Committee’s rules. Thank you for your prompt attention to this important investigation.

THIS IS WHY THE LEFT GETS AWAY WITH CRIMINAL ACTION!! Comer’s letter should have said:
“FBI Director Wray is defying a congressional subpoena for an unclassified record alleging a criminal scheme involving then-VP Joe Biden and a foreign national. If Director Wray refuses to hand over this record WITHIN 48 HOURS, @GOPoversight will SENTENCE AND IMPRISON DIRECTOR WRAY FOR NO LESS THAN 10 YEARS FOR INTENTIONAL CONTINUAL CONTEMPT AND COVERUP OF CRIMINAL BEHAVIOR BY THE BIDEN FAMILY.
I will bet Comer gets everything he needs then!
Excellent work, Mike. I greatly commend your effort because I currently generate more than $36,000 each month from just one simple web business! Even with just $29,000, you may start developing a reliable online income vf-91 and these are just the most basic internet operations occupations.

You are so right, but it shouldn’t be just Wray. A lot of democrats need to have the same thing happen to them, i.e. Hillary Clinton for ordering the Russian Collusion lie, Adam Schiff for promoting those lies for days and weeks. How about all those democrats that have lied about numerous things with Trump. they all need to be put in Gitmo prison and left there to rot!!!
I’ve gained $17,000 in only four weeks by comfortably working part-time from home. Immediately when I had lost my last business, I was very troubled and thankfully I’ve located this project now in this way I’m in a position to receive thousand USD directly from home.

The FBI actually thinks they are paid by the taxpayers to whitewash and cover for the Marxist democrat party? Get rid of these goons and then after they have been evicted grab all the records you need! The taxpayers don’t need Marxist goons riding roughshod over We the People!
Wray’s loyalty and allegiance should be to the American people and the fair enforcement of our laws. It is not. What he and Garland are doing to this country amounts to treason.
The WHOLE WORLD are watching & special the THIRD WORLD country are LAUGHING on U.S.A . They laughing because they see how CORRUPT our government now.
The FBI as usual since the Clintong’s diddaling with it has become a tool of the left
Trump needs back in to finish the job before him.
Why is everyone getting so excited by something that will go nowhere. Just like the other investigations and accusations that have been buried by the crooked media and politicians in the past. And lets not forget help with the deep state!
None of these criminals have any fear of threats from Congress. They are employed by the people who hold the keys to every government office and they own the voting machines. Perpetual fraud is their protector.
Why is it the house does not make Wray and the chain of command at the FBI accomplices of the crimes being hidden about the Bidens! Anyone who plays games with the investigations or hinders the investigation should be considered as a traitor and treason of the United States!
Sent all of them to prison!
Wray has is nose up bidens biden!
Comer exposing the shenanigans is potentially useful but the media won’t cover it and Dems don’t care about “contempt” of Congress. Holder was held in contempt of congress and it meant nothing. Does anyone think Garland will prosecute him or Biden will fire him?
Rep. James Comer is great at making threats. I would like to see some follow through!
It is a major problem that the fathers who wrote the constitution did not put in the horse power for the congress to actually arrest or jail anybody. All they can do is recommend. Figure the odds of getting anything done with Garland in charge of justice department. They assumed there would always be somebody honest in place. That’s why nothing happens. There is no backup follow-up serious action congress can force. There is also a problem charging someone with treason. I think it was a man named Morrison who did the actual writing of the constitution and the wording that he used in some cases did not allow the best outcomes. That was proven in the Arron Burr treason case. He was guilty as sin, but the court couldn’t convict him because of the circumstances required by the wording.
Perjury and seditious conspiracy. Colluding to violate civil rights. I want people prosecuted, and incarcerated for decades. Some should end their lives in prison.
