Deep State Cited Wikipedia To Try To Launch Trump Investigation– thefederalist.com

Walter Giardina — an FBI agent whistleblowers claim “openly stated his desire to investigate Trump, even if it meant false predication” — cited a Wikipedia article in support of launching yet another investigation of Donald Trump. That detail is but one of the crazier revelations buried in the latest cache of documents Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, made public last week in conjunction with FBI Director Kash Patel’s testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

As The Federalist previously reported, last week Patel testified before “the Senate Judiciary Committee on a wide-range of topics.” He dropped in the middle of the four-hour-plus hearing news related to the ongoing investigation of the weaponization of the FBI: The FBI had “made up” the Round River “classification,” Patel told Grassley on Tuesday.

For several years, Grassley has led an investigation into the weaponization of the FBI, including the launch of the Round River investigation, which whistleblowers told the Iowa senator sought to “improperly discredit negative Hunter Biden information as disinformation and caused investigative activity to cease.” While Patel’s confirmation that the Round River “classification” was fraudulent and that his team was investigating “the individuals who launched and codified this false and fake [classification],” represented the biggest news of the day, the documents Grassley released in connection with the hearing revealed many more troubling details about the weaponization of the FBI.
