A powerful Senate committee chairman has subpoenaed FBI Director Chris Wray and a former State Department official in an intensifying investigation into possible U.S. corruption in Russia and Ukraine and declared there is evidence Joe Biden’s family engaged in a “glaring conflict of interest.”

Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee Chairman Ron Johnson announced the actions Monday, strongly accusing Democrats of levying false allegations against him and other GOP investigators to distract from the evidence his committee has gathered about Joe and Hunter Biden’s dealings in Ukraine. . . .

“Many in the media, in an ongoing attempt to provide cover for former Vice President Biden, continue to repeat the mantra that there is ‘no evidence of wrongdoing or illegal activity’ related to Hunter Biden’s position on Burisma’s board,” the senator wrote. “I could not disagree more.”

Johnson noted evidence gathered by his committee showed Joe Biden met with his son’s business partner, Devon Archer, in April 2014 and within a month the vice president then visited Ukraine and both his son Hunter and the business partner were put on the Burisma board as the firm faced multiple corruption investigations.

“Isn’t it obvious what message Hunter’s position on Burisma’s board sent to Ukrainian officials?” Johnson asked. “The answer: If you want U.S. support, don’t touch Burisma. It also raised a host of questions, including: 1) How could former Vice President Biden look any Ukrainian official (or any other world leader) in the face and demand action to fight corruption? 2) Did this glaring conflict of interest affect the work and efforts of other U.S. officials who worked on anti-corruption measures?”

Johnson also divulged that late last week he issued a formal subpoena to Wray demanding he immediately surrender records from the Russia collusion probe that the committee has been seeking for months.

The subpoena gives Wray until 5 p.m. on Aug. 20 to comply and demands all records from the probe known as Crossfire Hurricane, including those provided for a damning report by the Justice Department inspector general.

Johnson also announced his committee has prepared a subpoena for Jonathan Winer, a former Obama State Department official who had extensive contact with British intelligence operative Christopher Steele, the author of a flawed dossier that helped propel the FBI probe into now disproven Trump-Russia collusion.

“Mr Winers counsel has not responded since Thursday as to whether he would accept service of the subpoena,” Johnson said. “If he does not respond by tomorrow, we will be forced to effect service through the U.S. Marshals. More subpoenas can be expected to be issued in the coming days and weeks.”

Johnson and Senate Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley have been pursuing a two-track investigation for more than two years, examining both failures and corruption in the FBI’s Russia probe as well as the issue of the Bidens’ conflicts in Ukraine. . . .

In his letter, Johnson adamantly denies he has talked with or received documents from the Russian-tied Ukrainians, accusing Democrats like Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut of knowingly fomenting disinformation.

“The only problem with their overblown handwringing is that they all knew full well that we have been briefed repeatedly, and we had already told them that we had NOT received the alleged Russian disinformation,” Johnson wrote. “The very transparent goal of their own disinformation campaign and feigned concern is to attack our character in order to marginalize the eventual findings of our investigation.”

Johnson’s letter identifies 14 questions he believes Joe Biden should answer and said the dealings documented by his committee — all from U.S. government documents — follow a larger pattern of family members appearing to cash in on the vice president’s policymaking.

“The appearance of family profiteering off of Vice President Biden’s official responsibilities is not unique to the circumstances involving Ukraine and Burisma,” the senator wrote. “Public reporting has also shown Hunter Biden following his father into China and coincidentally landing lucrative business deals and investments there.

“Additionally, the former vice president’s brothers and sister-in-law, Frank, James and Sara Biden, also are reported to have benefited financially from his work as well. We have not had the resources to devote investigatory time to these other allegations, but I point them out to underscore that Ukraine and Burisma seem more of a pattern of conduct than an aberration.”

Johnson’s announcement follows one day after Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham released a document Sunday he says shows the FBI misled senators on the Intelligence Committee during the Russia probe by falsely suggesting Steele’s dossier was backed up by one of his key sources.

“Somebody needs to go to jail for this,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) the panel’s chairman, told the Fox News program Sunday Futures with Maria Bartiromo. “This is a second lie. This is a second crime. They lied to the FISA court. They got rebuked, the FBI did, in 2019 by the FISA court, putting in doubt all FISA applications.”

The document in question contains the draft talking points the FBI used to brief the Senate Intelligence Committee in February 2018, including an assessment that the primary sub-source of the information contained in the Steele dossier had backed up the former MI-6 agent’s reporting. . .

In fact, by the time the FBI provided senators the briefing, agents had already interviewed Steele’s primary sub-source, who disavowed much of what was attributed to him in the dossier as in “jest” or containing uncorroborated allegations.

Father I am asking You to reveal ALL truth, the COMPLETE truth. To uncover the things hidden in darkness. I ask You to do it swiftly & without delay. We bind the enemy & forbid him from stopping or delaying the truth coming out in the Name of Jesus we pray. Amen!

It seems that the senate democrats and others involved in the Russian Ukraine Corruption Probe are stalling for time, waiting out this season of riots and assaults that have even reached the White House, in order to escape justice. Nancy Pelosi alluded to having the president removed by force, and Fauci didn’t condemn the rioting protesters when interrogated by Jim Jordan. Besides the democratic party, the mainstream news media also supports the coup to remove president Trump.
What to pray for is clear now. Pray that the delay tactics don’t work, and that it all turns upon the perpetrators.

A mountain of evidence has been uncovered over the last few years exposing the lies of the Russia collusion narrative and the Ukrainian corruption headed by Biden to line the pockets of family members. How can there be so much evidence, yet every day there is denial? How can the enemy turn the truth around so easily and get away with it? How can so many be deceived? I think we all know the answer, the prince of this world has been in control of these narratives. He does what he does best, to lie, twist the truth and deceive.
But all of us believers have been given the weapons and the authority to use those weapons against these forces of evil.

17 The seventy-two returned with joy and said, “Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name.”

18 He replied, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19 I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. Luke 10:17,18

Let’s all agree in prayer,
Thank you Jesus for giving us the power through the Holy Spirit to confront, battle, and defeat the enemy.
I bind these principalities and forces of evil that have been holding back the truth for all these years. I loose the grip of these demonic forces of deception, perversion, and witchcraft that have kept many people in bondage to believe lies and deny truth. Evil one, you must submit to the authority vested in us, as we have been bought with the precious blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. By His authority you evil spirits, release your hold on these two investigations. I render you powerless to deceive any longer. No more blame, no more twisting the truth, no more shaming those that come with the truth. I silence you and your minions of your influence in these cases in our country and in the Ukraine. I break the connection of your influence with the media. May those ties be broken in the name of Jesus. May the lines of communication be broken. I pray for an awareness to be released so the eyes of the American people will be opened to see the deception and how they have been played by the media. I pray also for those involved in our government working on these cases to present them to the American people. Protect them from harm and give them wisdom to gather all the evidence in an orderly fashion. Remove all fear and intimidation from them.
In Jesus name

    Yes, LORD, and we pray also that You will bring to an abrupt and complete stop the mocking and defamation of character, the slander against those who are seeking to bring truth to light in many matters.

I pray for your protection. I pray for God to give you wisdom and courage. Your letter is strong and resounding with truth.

These verses came to my mind as I prayed for you.
First is Ecclesiastes 10:2-3
The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of a fool to the left. Even as fools walk along the road, they lack sense and show everyone how stupid they are. (NASB)

So you know already what you are up against.
Let these be words of wisdom to you, yet know that God isn’t concerned about choosing sides. It is His way that matters. There are deceivers on both sides.

Proverbs 4:27
Do not turn to the right or the left; keep your foot from evil.

Deuteronomy 5:32
So be careful to do what the Lord your God has commanded you; do not turn aside to the right or the left.

I pray that God continues to lead you on the path of truth, being impartial and merely seeking truth and justice. Thank you for your courage to seek the truth.

We need to lift up Senator Ron Johnson and his committee in prayer as they work to expose the deep corruption of the previous administration. Let’s pray for the whole truth to be made known, which would also reveal the dishonesty in the mainstream media and in those who promote and benefit from the corruption. May our Heavenly Father hear our prayers, may justice prevail, may hearts be repentant, and our nation turned back to God and healed. Bless and strengthen our President and all those working in our government who do what is right and just to the glory of God our Father and the good of all people.

Heavenly Father, we are called in Your word to not cover up the deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. We ask that believers in Jesus on both sides of the aisle would honor that directive and deal justice to the guilty. I agree with Robin in praying for the guilty to take responsibility for their actions of bribery, manipulation and deception. I ask you to either cause them to repent or remove them from office.(or prevent them from gaining office) Give AG William Barr wisdom to pursue justice, boldness to confront the guilty, and support from other righteous men on both sides of the aisle.

Father God, I thank you that Your Word says that whatever is hidden will be manifested in the Light. These actions are being exposed for a reason. Nothing happens by chance. All choices have a consequence. Give the authorities at large wisdom, understanding, strength, power and discernment on how to deal with this injustice according to Your law. May the guilty parties take responsibility for their actions of deception and manipulation.As Jesus was angered and turned over the tables of the money changers, may our government leaders do likewise! Selah!
