From the "... and you thought the Watergate coverup was bad", files: GOP Senator Ron Johnson Asks DOJ IG Horowitz to Open Investigation Into FBI’s Handling of Hunter Biden’s Laptop
As the adage goes; "The cover-up is always worse than the crime." In this case though, the crime is pretty bad.
“On September 24, 2020, the day after Chairman Grassley and I released our report titled, “Hunter Biden, Burisma, and Corruption: The Impact on U.S. Government Policy and Related Concerns,” a whistleblower contacted my committee and informed my staff that he had possession of a laptop left in his business by Hunter Biden. He also informed us that he provided its contents to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in response to a December 9, 2019 grand jury subpoena,” Johnson wrote.
“As the first step in our due diligence, committee staff contacted FBI officials and asked for confirmation of certain facts in an attempt to validate the whistleblower’s claims and assertions. Unfortunately several days later, the FBI responded that it would not confirm or deny any information identified by committee staff even though several of the questions were not related to the possible existence of an ongoing grand jury investigation.”
“I respectfully request that your office open an investigation into the FBI’s handling of the laptop allegedly belonging to Hunter Biden,” Johnson wrote.
