Grassley concluded his letter to Garland and Ray with a call for a probe of “systemic and existential problems” in both the DOJ and the FBI.

“Attorney General Garland and Director Wray, simply put, based on the allegations that I’ve received from numerous whistleblowers, you have systemic and existential problems within your agencies,” he wrote. “You have an obligation to the country to take these allegations seriously, immediately investigate and take steps to institute fixes to these and other matters before you.”

‘The president is all over these records’
Meanwhile, a federal investigation into Hunter Biden’s tax affairs and international business dealings has reached a critical stage, yet no indictments have been issued and the grand jury has been disbanded.

Legal scholar Jonathan Turley said Monday in a Fox News interview there are lingering questions about the status of the case, overseen by Delaware U.S. Attorney David Weiss.

“Are they working on a plea, do they have sealed indictments, or have they found no basis to indict at all?” he asked.

Turley said the case is a “textbook example” of why special counsels need to be appointed in cases in which the president of the United States has an interest.

“Nobody is casting aspersions on Mr. Weiss, but there are these questions as to why many of these witnesses have not been called and whether the investigation itself is artificially narrow,” Turley said. “We’re talking about an influence-peddling scheme that netted millions of dollars for Hunter Biden, but his uncle is also involved, and the president is all over these records.

“All of that would seem to make him a rather relevant witness,” he added. “But there’s no indication he has been called.”
