An intelligence analyst behind the FBI’s botched Trump-Russia collusion probe is now accused of using the bureau’s authority to discredit reports about Hunter Biden’s criminal activity months before the 2020 presidential election.
Meet Brian Auten. The FBI analyst is hardly a household name, but whistleblowers who contacted the office of GOP senator Chuck Grassley say he was behind an August 2020 report that FBI officials used as part of a "scheme…to undermine derogatory information connected to Hunter Biden by falsely suggesting it was disinformation."
Auten’s report also caused the FBI "to cease" investigative activity into the younger Biden, according to a letter Grassley sent the Justice Department and FBI.
The whistleblower allegations are the latest evidence of politicization at the FBI. Grassley, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said the allegations, if accurate, show the FBI and Justice Department are "institutionally corrupted to their very core."
Auten was a key figure in Crossfire Hurricane, the counterintelligence investigation into Donald Trump’s potential ties to Russia. The Justice Department inspector general said in a December 2019 report that an FBI intelligence analyst who has since been identified as Auten "failed to advise" others at the FBI about inconsistencies in the Steele dossier, the controversial report the bureau used to investigate Trump.
Auten’s involvement in the Hunter Biden saga, which was not previously known, is likely to come under scrutiny because of his involvement in the Trump-Russia probe. Auten took part in the Hunter Biden matter even though he was seemingly referred to the FBI’s disciplinary office for investigation because of the inspector general’s findings. FBI Director Christopher Wray testified in February 2020 that every FBI employee mentioned in the inspector general’s report, which accused the FBI of "significant" abuses of the foreign surveillance process, was referred to the Office of Professional Responsibility for investigation. It is unclear whether Auten faced any discipline.

Vote... Why? Our votes will be tabulated by Dominion... and they count our votes using the new math and Stalinist numbering system... One for us. one, two for them. Two for us. One, two, three, for them.. etc. Las Vegas's odds for winning are better than Dominion's and the Stalinist system for tabulating our vote.
Putin is a nationalist, the FBI is not.
No, the FBI are Nationalists... Putin claims the FBI are nationalists... He swears that every one of them has a prominent tattoo of a Red Star on their ass.
Putin is a Russian nationalist, FBI are globalist.
HE should be fired, indicted for obstruction of Justice, lying to a federal agent, accessory after the fact to the crimes he helped to cover up... and if convicted be given the maximum sentence permitted for his crimes... don't run the sentences concurrently... do it consecutively.
Bull shit hang him!
My opinion needs to be fitted with a orange jumpsuit.
