Jim Jordan demands FBI Round River docs after memos reveal targeting of Trump officials, allies

Barr was a conduit. Biden was a target. Fourteen informants already talked.

Summary

  • Just the News reports House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan on Wednesday demanded FBI Director Kash Patel turn over Round River files after declassified memos showed the 2020 operation labeled Trump officials and conservatives as conduits of Russian disinformation.
  • The same spreadsheet listed Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, Hillary Clinton, John Kerry, Barack Obama, and George Soros as victimized targets. Cabinet secretaries Bill Barr and Mike Pompeo, Sens. Chuck Grassley, Ron Johnson, and Lindsey Graham, plus Devin Nunes and Jordan himself, were marked conduits.
  • Patel said the bureau has identified tens of thousands of responsive pages and at least 14 confidential human sources who reported derogatory information on the Bidens' Ukraine dealings starting as early as 2015. Jordan also wants reporting from 53 CHSs in the probe.
  • Round River began in Pittsburgh around Rudy Giuliani's Ukraine work and widened to speech the FBI tagged as disinformation. Patel said he terminated the Foreign Influence Task Force, which had logged no objection on the spreadsheet.

Commentary

A tax preparer still sits on a vinyl chair and keeps a paper folder his government already promised not to treat as a threat. He did not vote twice for a president so a Pittsburgh file could call the cabinet a conduit.

Fourteen informants. Fifty-three sources. Tens of thousands of pages. The honest dad already paid the oversight. The spreadsheet paid the smear.

Look every working father who still believes a question about Ukraine is speech in the eye and answer this: if Barr can be a conduit and Biden a target, who still owns the file?

If Barr can be a conduit and Biden a target, who still owns the Round River file?

Fourteen sources talking dirt on the Bidens. A spreadsheet calling the cabinet a conduit. That is the invert.

u/midwest_vet · 4h

I briefed a principal so a rumor would not become a file. Hand Jordan the pages.

u/rule_first · 4h

Round River. 53 CHS. 14 on the Bidens. FITF no-objection. Patel killed the task force. Publish the five.

u/tokyo_ally · 3h

Allied services still separate a target from a critic. A conduit stamp on a senator is a tell.

u/docket_rat · 3h

Pittsburgh start. Giuliani. Grassley. Nunes. File the spreadsheet columns.

u/night_shift · 2h

I still keep a paper folder in a glove box. I want the tens of thousands declassified.

A mom who asked about Burisma should not have been a national-security adjective.

u/gulf_watch · 55m

Four named probes in a decade is not caution. It is a habit. Break it.

u/press_clip · 30m

Just the News printed 14, 53, tens of thousands, and the conduit list. Argue those nouns.

u/soc_lead · 15m

Produce the files. Name the analysts. A spreadsheet is not a verdict.
