Congressional Democrats are dismissive over the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) refusal to hand over a document purporting to detail a $5 million pay-for-play scheme that involved then Vice President Joe Biden and a foreign national, according to Breitbart News. A whistleblower previously revealed the existence of this document which was confirmed when neither the Bureau nor the Department of Justice denied the existence of the record. The House of Representatives has been in a prolonged battle with the FBI over the unclassified document that the FBI has failed to turn over.  

The Director of the FBI, Christopher Wray, has scheduled a meeting with Representative James Comer (R-KY), the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, for this week to discuss the status of the document and the FBI's compliance. 

This came after Comer threatened to hold contempt proceedings against the director over the document scandal. Comer also revealed on Twitter that there may be more than one document detailing criminal schemes between Joe Biden and a foreign national. He wrote, "The FBI’s refusal to provide a single, unclassified document is obstructionist. The document allegedly details a criminal scheme involving then-VP Joe Biden and a foreign national. Now, the FBI tells [the GOP-controlled Oversight Committee that] there is MORE than one document."

BIDEN AND THE FBI 'ARE NOT ABOVE THE LAW': SPEAKER MCCARTHY WILL CHARGE FBI DIRECTOR WRAY IF HE DOESN'T HAND OVER DOCUMENT LAYING OUT BIDEN'S BRIBERY SCHEME

Democrats seem to be in denial and in cover-up mode for their commander-in-chief's alleged past misdeeds. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), the highest-ranking Democrat on the Oversight Committee, dismissed the whole affair. "It just sounds preposterous to me that you will hold the FBI director in contempt over a tip sheet that they think someone submitted to the FBI...[Comer is] making a mountain out of something that is not even a molehill," said Representative Raskin. Another Democratic member of the House Oversight Committee Gerry Connolly (D-VA) went further and laughably suggested, "[i]t’s part of the assault on the FBI that the Republicans have launched, fueled by Trump’s hatred of the FBI." 

Mr. Connolly's denial over problems within the FBI comes after his dismissal of the testimony of three whistleblowers over the Bureau's politicization and retaliation as being motivated by "employment grievances" and that Congress is not the proper venue for hearing such "grievances." He further said that having such "grievances...doesn't make you whistleblowers." He later added that "We're listening to sad tales of certain individuals about their situation and an enumeration of grievances does not constitute whistleblower status."
