The statement said the order came from the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force, a headquarters-based unit established by Director Christopher Wray in 2017 and charged with combating foreign influence.

      So it’s the same story from last week. TY for saving me the read.

      I can no longer draw a comparison between this and Hunter Biden.

The Hunter Biden story has now become a Revenge Porn story where a Republican Committee is persecuting a private citizen.

        When could you? Hunter is a private citizen and not in government at all.
