BREAKING NEWS - Ted Cruz Explodes On Top FBI Official Over Biden 'Bribery Scheme' Allegations

For statutory changes , Mr Chairman .

Thank you .

Thanks , Senator Ossoff , Senator Cruz .

Thank you , Mr Chairman .

Gentlemen , every day when I'm home in Texas , I hear from Texans who are deeply dismayed about the growing politicization and weaponization of the Department of Justice and the FBI , if you are not , every one of you should be deeply concerned about the damage being done to the integrity of the institutions in which you operate .

My office hears regularly from FBI agents and from assistant us attorneys who are likewise concerned about the politicization and weaponization of the Department of Justice and the FBI .

And this is profoundly damaging to the rule of law in our nation .

Last month , a whistle blower brought to light the existence in the FBI of a report on F D 10 23 in which the informant alleges that President Biden and his family members engaged in a $5 million bribery scheme during his time as vice president , Deputy Director Abadi .

Is it true that the FBI has a report making those allegations ?

Uh I'm not gonna comment on that senator and why is that ?

I'm just not going to comment on information we received investigations .

Do you have an obligation to the American people to be candid about evidence of corruption by the President United States ?

This is an area that I'm not going to get into with you .

Senator .

Well , I understand you don't want to and that's why people are mad at the FBI because you're stonewalling and covering up serious allegations of evidence of corruption from the president .

Yesterday .

Senator Chuck Grassley stood on the senate floor and alleged that there are 17 recordings of this informant from Barista Ukrainian Natural Gas Company .

15 of them are recordings , voice recordings of him talking to Hunter Biden .

Two of them are voice recordings of him talking to Joe Biden .

Deputy director abate .

Does the FBI have 17 voice recordings laying out evidence of a bribery scheme ?

Senator , I'd add all I would add also that , uh , we've worked with the House Oversight Committee .

This is the Senate .

We're the other side of the Capitol .

This is the Senate .

Do you have those 17 recordings ?

I'm not going to comment on any investigative matters .

Senator , see that's the problem .

The FBI and I've had this conversation with Chris Wray too .

This is why you are damaging the institution .

The American people have a right to know whether there is serious credible evidence that the President of the United States took a $5 million bribe .

And by the way , if it's false , Chairman Durbin just rolled his eyes .

If Chairman Durbin were interested in the rule of law , we would have a hearing on these allegations , but of course , the Democrats don't want a hearing on these allegations .

And to be clear if the allegations are false , you know , who could disprove them , Joe Biden , he could call for this to be released publicly .

But the FBI is stonewalling .

Would you agree ?

Senator , no one stonewalling the 10 23 refused in response to his subpoena .

The pertinent information is there .

And I reject your assertion that the idea to answer my question , I just answered your question .

Ok .

So yes , you have a 10 , 23 .

Do you have the 17 recordings ?

Yes or no .

I'm not going to get further into that .

So you're stonewalling .

You can't say I'm not refusing to answer your question , but I won't answer your question .

I'm going to answer within the parameters that we operate in .

That's the problem the FBI has right now , an unlimited hubris that you believe you are unaccountable .

You don't believe you're accountable to the United States Congress and you don't believe you're accountable to the American people and you are doing damage .

The FBI is a great institution .

When I go home to Texas , people ask me , should we abolish the FBI ?

Now ?

I tell them no , because you have heroes and patriots working for you that are catching child predators that are catching terrorists ?

But you're sitting there happily erecting a wall to protect Joe Biden .

Will you provide to this committee , not the house , the Senate Judiciary Committee .

Will you provide the FD 123 ?

And will you provide the 17 recordings ?

So we can assess what is the evidence , the specific credible evidence that Joe Biden personally took a $5 million bribe from a foreign national senator .

We will work with this committee , you and other members to provide uh the information within the parameters of the process .

Will you provide the F D 10 ?

23 ?

Yes or no .

I will take that back and we will work with other .

So you're not answering that .

Will you provide the 17 recordings ?

We will take that back and we'll work with you .

So you're not answering that either .

Did you investigate in any way , shape or form these allegations ?

Senator , once again , I'm not gonna comment .

So you're not gonna say whether you did your job , we do our job to the very best of our ability .

Well , not here .

You're not answering a single question to the American people and you may think this is esoteric .

I promise you millions of Americans are concerned , you know , who isn't concerned ?

Not a single Senate , Democrat .

We're going to go through this whole hearing .

Not one Democrat will ask a question about this .

You know , who else isn't concerned ?

The corporate media who is joining with the Democrats in covering up this evidence .

If Joe Biden is innocent , the evidence should be made public and demonstrate that he's innocent .

But if he is not , is it true this informant who alleged that he personally took a bribe was an informant .

The FBI had relied upon previously in other investigations .

Yes or no .

Senator in each and every investigation that we have all the work that we do .

The expectation is that every logical avenue , avenue , investigation people asked you ?

Yes or no question .

Are you gonna answer it ?

Yeah , I'm , I'm answering your question was the informant one you had relied on previously and other investigations .

Yes or no .

Senator , we run down every piece of information .

You're not , you're refusing .

So you're refusing to answer the question , the fullest extent possible , refusing to answer the question .

It's disgraceful Deputy Director Abati , disgraceful .

Senator .

Your time has expired .

Senator Tills Chairman , I think , uh , Senator Blackburn goes before me or Senator Welch .

I appreciate the opportunity .

But thank you , Senator , tell us it .

Senator Walsh is next .
