Former Deputy Director of National Intelligence Kash Patel has called on House Republicans to adopt a more aggressive approach in securing documents related to the Biden bribery investigation. Patel suggests withholding funding for non-essential expenditures within the FBI and DOJ, such as private jet travel and vehicle upgrades, to compel cooperation with congressional oversight. He argues that these “government gangsters” will only respond when their “fancy toys” are at risk. Patel emphasizes that the documents are not just for Congress, but for the American public, and that continued delays through redactions and slow responses are unacceptable. He believes this tactic is the only way to dismantle what he calls a two-tiered justice system. This call to action follows Hunter Biden's plea deal on tax charges and a pretrial diversion agreement related to firearm possession. The plea deal has intensified calls for the DOJ to release an FD-1023 form detailing allegations of a bribery scheme involving President Biden. Former Attorney General William Barr has echoed these sentiments, stressing the importance of transparency while protecting the source of the information.
