Former AG Whitaker: GOP could be 'onto something big' with Hunter Biden cover-up allegations
[FOX] Former Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker criticized the FBI and the DOJ on "Fox & Friends First" Wednesday, pointing out the organizations' noticeably "partisan tint" on the Hunter Biden investigation. Whitaker said the departments should be "above politics" and their existing biases pose a threat to the "rule of law."

GRASSLEY PRESSES DOJ, FBI FOR TRANSPARENCY ON ’PARTISAN’ POLITICIZATION OF AGENCIES, HUNTER BIDEN PROBE

MATTHEW WHITAKER: I've said several times that Chris Wray needs to get this partisan nature and any political bias out of the FBI. In this example, this FBI agent that Chuck Grassley is asking questions about had very derogatory social media postings, which it makes no sense why an FBI agent would be on social media doing politics, but was and so these are the kind of things that raise questions. I think Chuck Grassley is absolutely right, and my point as well is that the FBI and the Department of Justice need to be above politics. Right now, especially this Jan. 6th investigation, and the Biden investigation, appear to have a partisan tint to it, and it's not good for the rule of law and the long-term success of the Department of Justice.

#1 Didn't do much good in 2020. What makes Whitaker think it will do any good in 2024?

#2 What mechanism does Whitaker think is availble to Grassley and Congress to do something? As was said above, it didn't happen in 2020 or any other time in my recent memory.

#3 I really don't think we have much to worry about with this fellow. Becoming an overnight Atlanta area Rap sensation might hurry things along a bit.

#4 Oh please, that would require the DOJ and the FBI to actually DO THEIR JOBS, which we all know ain't gonna happen. Maybe if the FBI is secretly dumped in Gitmo and replaced by a combination of Texas Rangers and real policeman, the group of US Marshals who actually get crap done, we'd see it.
