Deeply Rooted Political Infection in the Fbi

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS. Mr. Speaker, my good friend Senator Chuck Grassley said it best when he said: There is deeply rooted political infection in the FBI. We can see this rot play out every single day when the FBI decides who they will and will not pursue. They targeted parents who showed up to school board meetings to hold their elected officials accountable and to speak up for their children. They targeted pro-life Americans who exercised their First Amendment right to peacefully protest and arrested them in front of their children. They rushed to investigate claims of Russian collusion--despite lapses and a bogus FISA warrant--even when those claims were not backed up the evidence.

Yet, when dealing with Hunter Biden, the DOJ and the FBI chose to go easy on him and gave him a sweetheart plea deal, leaving him unlikely to go to jail.

It must be nice.

We have simply lost confidence in The Bureau and serious changes must be made by Director Chris Wray to root out favoritism and double standards so the American people can have faith in their institutions again.

Mr. Speaker, I also wish my young friends Kurt and Cathy Haller a milestone 40th wedding anniversary.

Happy 40th anniversary, Kurt and Cathy.
