Two former FBI officials arrested for lying to Congress about Hunter Biden investigat
Quote:Two FBI agents were arrested on Friday and charged with lying to Congress that they had little involvement with investigations into Hunter Biden. This is despite them “helping shape the public narrative” around the younger Biden's laptop, according to authorities.
FBI Director Kash Patel announced the charges on X: "Two former senior FBI officials, Nikki Cole Floris and Bradley Benavides, were taken into custody today on charges of allegedly lying to Congress about their involvement in the FBI’s investigations into Hunter Biden. The charges stem from an ongoing investigation into the since-dissolved FBI Foreign Influence Task Force."
"Floris led the FITF as a Deputy Assistant Director from mid-2019 through mid-2022. Benavides was the FITF Section Chief from mid-2019 through the 2020 election. Both testified that the FITF was not involved in the Hunter Biden investigations. Documentary evidence, contemporaneous communications, and witness accounts contradict their testimony. Floris is also on record privately claiming to be “running a shadow government” during the 2020 election in her role on the FITF. Lying to Congress by senior FBI officials strikes at the heart of our system. No one is above the law," Patel added.
US Attorney for Washington DC Jeanine Pirro said in a post, "This morning, two former senior FBI officials, Nikki Floris, 46, and Bradley Benavides, 56, surrendered on arrest warrants after being charged with lying to Congress about their roles on the Foreign Influence Task Force during the 2020 election. Floris and Benavides allegedly lied to Congress about their roles in the FBI’s Hunter Biden investigations, with one claiming they only learned about it from Wikipedia - despite evidence showing their involvement in helping shape the public narrative about Hunter Biden’s laptop right before the election."
"Lying to Congress by anyone strikes at the heart of our democratic system, but when senior FBI agents lie to Congress believing they are above the law, it’s time to bring the hammer of justice down on them. When senior officials entrusted with safeguarding our nation’s security choose deception over duty, they undermine the very institutions they swore to uphold. Today’s action makes clear that no one is above the law, and we will hold accountable all who obstruct the truth," she added.
According to a source familiar with the investigation that spoke to the New York Post, the charges stem from interviews with the House Judiciary Committee that the ex-FBI agents gave in 2023.

Good. Lock 'em up.
Saw this earlier, what a synopsis of what these dirty cops were up to all along. Now they need to go up and down the food chain with these people and give them all their own wing at Club fed.
"Heard and read about it on wikipedia."
What a condescending douchey thing to try to pass off to a bunch of Congressmen. Most are attorneys and aren't as dumb as these two may have thought they were. Some? Yes. Clearly.
They'll swallow the bullspit and prevaricate as usual.

But Hunter's laptop was Russian disinformation! Come on, y'all! The left said so! /sarcasm
Knew they were lying the second they said they weren't. About time some heads are rolling.

Yep.
Long past “about time”
Now it’s time for The Crazy show to commence.
Just give em a day or two to receive their Soros provided fake protest signs and the paychecks.
Last shift ends at around 4:45 from what I’ve heard.
