House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R – Ky.) blasted the FBI for failing to investigate claims that, as vice president, Joe Biden accepted bribes from foreign nationals — bribes that Comer believes bank records will show totaled at least $20 to $30 million.
“The FBI never did one single thing to investigate this,” Comer told Fox Business’s “Mornings” host Maria Bartiromo on Thursday.

As BizPac Review has reported, Comer and FBI Director Christopher Wray have battled over an FBI-generated June 30, 2020, FD-1023 form that alleges a criminal bribery scheme between then-VP Biden and a foreign national.
The document details communications between a confidential human source and a Ukrainian oligarch believed to be the head of Burisma Holdings — the natural gas firm that put Hunter Biden on its board — Mykola Zlochevsky.

Comer said the confidential source “has been around since the Obama Administration.”
“This informant has been paid over $200,000 from the FBI,” he told Bartiromo. “We believe this informant may also work for, potentially, the CIA. And this informant has been around since the Obama Administration. They have used this informant’s testimony in other cases that they have been involved in around the world.”
“So, this is a very valuable person to the FBI,” he stated. “Which begs the question, why didn’t the FBI investigate these allegations?”
Comer pointed to Wray and said the “deep state” is in charge of the FBI.
“Look, Christopher Wray has no control over the FBI,” he said. “This is an organization in disarray. No one has confidence in leadership at the top. You have bureaucrats, deep state bureaucrats, who are running the show.”
Bartiromo blasted the media for spending “zero time” on the Biden bribes while spending “nearly five hours” on the indictment of former President Donald Trump.
“[T]he mainstream media will not even cover arguably the most serious allegation ever leveled against a president,” she said.
“It’s very frustrating,” Comer replied. “They know there is something wrong. They know all the allegations have merit.”
He suggested the “deep state bureaucrats” in charge “don’t care what Biden does.’

“They are partisan,” he said. “They want to get Donald Trump. They don’t care what Joe Biden does because Joe Biden can be controlled.”
He stressed that his investigation is “following the money.”
“We are going to continue to follow the money,” he said. “And, Maria, I can assure you there is more money that we are going to be able to identify, that was transferred between foreign nationals and other countries and the Biden family.”
“This is going to be hard for Joe Biden to explain,” Comer stated, “and it’s not going to go away. This is going to be an issue, and I think, eventually, the mainstream media will turn on Joe Biden and start asking the real questions: ‘What did your family do to receive all this money?'”
Bartiromo asked Comer to ballpark the amount of money the Bidens have “taken in from foreign nationals,” and the response was staggering.
“We have more bank records coming in, but we are going to exceed $10 million this week,” he revealed, “and I think we will get up to between $20 and $30 million dollars.”
As BPR reported, when asked by a reporter about possible recordings of his conversations with a Burisma executive, Biden declined to answer and appeared to grin and chuckle.

And when asked by a reporter on Thursday, “Why did the Ukraine-FBI informant file refer to you as ‘the Big Guy’?” the President snapped back a question of his own:
“Why’d you ask such a dumb question?”
