The recent charge leveled by multiple whistleblowers that FBI headquarters falsely labeled verifiable evidence of wrongdoing by Hunter Biden "disinformation" raises the specter that agents also impeded the separate investigations run by the Pittsburgh and Delaware U.S. attorney's offices.
On Monday, Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, announced that "multiple FBI whistleblowers, including those in senior positions" had accused Washington Field Office assistant special agent in charge Timothy Thibault and other FBI officials of "falsely portray[ing] as disinformation evidence acquired from multiple sources that provided the FBI derogatory information related to Hunter Biden's financial and foreign business activities, even though some of that information had already been or could be verified."
Conflicting Stories
Soon after Hunter Biden disclosed that the Delaware U.S. attorney's office was investigating him and had served multiple subpoenas on him and his business associates, the New York Times published a story discussing the separate investigation run out of the Pittsburgh US Attorney's Office.
The Times portrayed Barr as a partisan hack and, relying on unnamed sources, claimed that Barr's decision to direct Brady to oversee an "intake process for information about Ukraine to 'assess its provenance and its credibility,'" was "highly unusual because prosecutors in Delaware had already been scrutinizing Hunter Biden for more than a year."
Barr made clear at the time that investigators had to be careful about any information originating from Ukraine because "there are a lot of agendas in the Ukraine" and "we can't take anything we received from Ukraine at face value."
An FBI Leak
In 2020, five officials told the New York Times a different story, and some further claimed that in response to the Pittsburgh U.S. attorney's investigation, FBI agents "found ways to ostensibly satisfy Mr. Brady," raising questions of how precisely they thwarted his investigation.
When coupled with what the multiple whistleblowers, including some in senior positions, told Grassley, it appears the FBI headquarters either improperly withheld information or presented inaccurate information to the US attorney's office in Pittsburgh and possibly also Delaware.
