WATCH: Rep. Luna Hints At Potential ARREST For FBI Director Wray In Explosive Interview
In a fiery interview on Tuesday with Benny Johnson, Rep. Luna (R-FL) suggested potential legal consequences for FBI Director Wray, hinting at a possible arrest for contempt of Congress after alleged politicization of the FBI.
Luna expressed discontent over the FBI’s role in recent political controversies, pointing specifically to the indictment of a whistleblower tied to the Biden family and an imminent indictment of former President Donald Trump.
“If this guy doesn’t pony up, it’s very possible that the director of the FBI could end up in jail.” Luna also criticized the FBI’s role in charging a whistleblower who provided information about the Biden family with international arms trafficking despite a lack of supporting evidence. “They are essentially acting as an arm of the Biden administration,” Luna stated.
The congresswoman argued that previous congressional bodies may not have been as assertive in challenging the Bureau’s activities, vowing that this approach would change under the current oversight. “I think previous Congresses might not have acted in the aggressive fashion that we will be responding to and acting with,” Luna said.

Adding to the gravity of the situation, Luna indicated that other prominent representatives, including Comer and Jim Jordan, have been actively working to ensure accountability for the FBI’s actions. The contentious interview further highlights the escalating tension between certain members of Congress and the FBI, suggesting a period of robust scrutiny and potential repercussions for the nation’s leading law enforcement agency.
Just left meeting for House Oversight. The @FBI is afraid their informant will be killed if unmasked, based on the info he has brought forward about the Biden family.

In an announcement on Monday, Comer confirmed that the FBI had refused to release the crucial document related to the criminal bribery scheme involving Biden. The decision prompted the House Oversight Committee to initiate contempt of Congress hearings scheduled for this Thursday.
House Oversight will begin contempt of Congress proceedings for FBI director Thursday.

“These are facts,” he stated during a press briefing, “and no amount of spin and frankly lies from the White House or congressional Democrats can change this information.”
“It’s time for answers, transparency, and accountability,” Comer continued, giving voice to the sentiments of millions of Americans who have lost faith in the FBI’s integrity. “This investigation is not dead. This is only the beginning.”

The controversy follows a string of similar episodes in which the FBI has been accused of partisanship and lack of transparency as the long battle between Comer and Wray continues.
As this case unfolds, it underscores the severity and complexity of the allegations against Biden. While the FBI continues to resist releasing the record, its obfuscation only deepens the resolve of those seeking the truth. As Comer put it, “Given the severity and complexity of the allegations contained within this record, Congress must investigate further.”
On Friday, it was thought that FBI Director Christopher Wray had caved to pressure from the Oversight Committee and Comer, when he reportedly agreed to hand over the FD-1023 form. This came after Comer threatened to hold the FBI in contempt of Congress, which we will expect to see in the coming days.
The document allegedly outlines a $5 million criminal plot involving Biden during his time as vice president and a foreign national, is expected to be reviewed by lawmakers from both parties on Monday.
WATCH:
The potential release of the FD-1023 document has significant implications for the Biden administration and the FBI. It promises to shed light on the alleged misconduct of the President and further highlights concerns over the FBI’s partisanship, a point emphasized by Senator Chuck Grassley in a recent interview.
Last Wednesday, Wray confirmed the existence of the FD-1023 form that alleges then-Vice President Biden was involved in a criminal bribery scheme with a foreign national. The news was initially brought to light through a series of tweets by the House Oversight Committee and Rep. Comer (R-KY).
