Chuck Grassley says the quiet part out loud
Anyone can make a complaint that ends up on an FD-1023. Anyone. They arent classified documents, but then, neither is testimony before a grand jury. Such information is rarely released to the public, explicitly because it contains unverified claims. They can even contain false claims made to hurt someone with absolutely no basis in fact. As Aldous Pennyfarthing reported on Thursday, we know thats the case here. We know that the FD-1023 form being sought by Grassley and Comer is a product of Rudy Giulianis extended effort to smear President Joe Biden by soliciting false statements from a collection of scam artists, Russian agents, and sycophants who have admitted making false claims to curry favor with Giuliani and Donald Trump.
Everything Guiliani has claimed about Bidens actions in Ukraine is a documented lie. Two of the men he worked with have been convicted on charges of fraud and violations of campaign finance law. Giulianis star witness recanted after he was confronted with his lies. And Giuliani has been reduced to telling fairy tales about how George Soros is trying to murder him.
The only purpose in publicly revealing the contents of this form is to continue Giulianis effort to smear Biden with false accusations. And thats exactly what Grassley admitted on Fox News.
Heres Grassley making it astoundingly clear. "We are not interested in whether the allegations against Vice President Biden are accurate or not," he said.

LBJs campaign manager said, Lyndon, you know he doesnt do that! Johnson replied, I know. I just want to make him deny it.

(37,046 posts)Im a grumpy old veteran, deep into my retirement years and Grassley was married the year I was born. Dark Brandon is a pup compared to the senior senator from Iowa whose governor recently signed a very evil cover up the corruption bill. Whats going on in the sacred flyover country?
country not so sacred anymore. Many corrupt republicans.
