The deep state thought this scandal would stay buried forever.
They never expected anyone would dig deep enough to find the truth.
But one Senator found the smoking gun that proves the FBI covered up Chinese election interference.
Grassley exposes FBI’s election interference cover-up
Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley has seen every dirty trick Washington, D.C. has to offer during his decades in the Senate.
But even this seasoned veteran was stunned by what he discovered when he started digging into FBI records about the 2020 election.
Grassley released 47 pages of declassified internal FBI emails that reveal the most shameful episode in the bureau’s recent history.
These documents prove that Christopher Wray’s FBI deliberately buried credible intelligence about Chinese interference in the 2020 election.
And they did it for one reason that will make your blood boil.
The FBI received an Intelligence Information Report from their Albany Field Office on September 25, 2020, containing alarming allegations from a trusted confidential human source.
According to the report, the Chinese government was manufacturing "tens of thousands" of fraudulent drivers’ licenses to facilitate mail-in ballot fraud benefiting Joe Biden.¹
This wasn’t some wild internet conspiracy theory – this was official FBI intelligence from a source the bureau considered reliable.
But instead of launching a full investigation into potential foreign election interference, the FBI made a decision that betrays everything the bureau is supposed to stand for.
FBI chose protecting Wray over protecting America
Here’s where this story becomes absolutely infuriating for every patriotic American.
The FBI’s own internal emails show that bureau headquarters ordered the Albany Field Office to recall and suppress the intelligence report.
Why would they bury credible evidence of foreign election interference?
According to the FBI’s own documents, they suppressed the report because "the reporting will contradict Director Wray’s testimony."¹
Let that sink in.
The FBI – America’s premier law enforcement agency – chose to protect their director’s reputation over investigating threats to our democracy.
Just one day before the Albany report was issued, Christopher Wray had testified before Congress claiming the bureau hadn’t detected any coordinated voter fraud efforts.
When evidence emerged that contradicted Wray’s congressional testimony, the FBI decided to make the evidence disappear rather than admit their director was wrong.
FBI Assistant Director Marshall Yates later confirmed to Grassley that the recall was "abnormal" and driven by political considerations rather than legitimate intelligence protocols.¹
The FBI even prevented other intelligence agencies from accessing the report, essentially blinding the entire Intelligence Community to potential threats.
Grassley calls out the corruption
Senator Grassley didn’t hold back when describing what these emails reveal about the FBI under Christopher Wray’s leadership.
"These records smack of political decision-making and prove the Wray-led FBI to be a deeply broken institution," Grassley stated. "Ahead of a high-stakes election happening amid an unprecedented global pandemic, the FBI turned its back on its national security mission."¹
The Senator nailed exactly what happened here.
"Chris Wray’s FBI wasn’t looking out for the American people – it was looking to save its own image," Grassley continued.¹
This wasn’t about protecting classified sources or maintaining operational security.
This was pure political damage control at the expense of election integrity.
Even FBI field agents recognized how wrong this decision was.
One intelligence analyst warned that suppressing field reports for political reasons was "dangerous" and could prevent other agencies from accessing critical information.¹
The analyst was right to be concerned – the FBI was acting more like a political protection racket than a law enforcement agency.
China’s obvious interest in a Biden victory
The Chinese government’s motivation for wanting Joe Biden in the White House was crystal clear to anyone paying attention in 2020.
Beijing had spent four years getting hammered by President Trump’s tough trade policies and "America First" approach to foreign relations.
Trump imposed tariffs on Chinese goods, called out their human rights abuses, and refused to let them continue ripping off American workers and businesses.
The Chinese Communist Party knew they could walk all over the weak and confused Biden administration far more easily than they could deal with Trump’s strength.
So when credible intelligence emerged suggesting Chinese efforts to influence the election in Biden’s favor, the FBI should have moved heaven and earth to investigate.
Instead, they buried the evidence to protect Christopher Wray’s congressional testimony.
This represents a complete betrayal of the FBI’s mission to protect America from foreign threats.
New leadership brings hope for accountability
Fortunately, there’s finally new leadership at the FBI that takes these threats seriously.
Director Kash Patel declassified these documents and made them available to Congress for oversight.
Grassley praised Patel’s commitment to transparency and accountability – something that was sorely lacking under Christopher Wray.
"Director Patel’s willingness to work with me to establish renewed transparency and accountability is a critical part of that process, and I applaud him for his efforts," Grassley said.¹
The FBI has a massive amount of work to do to rebuild trust with the American people after years of political weaponization.
But exposing corruption like this is exactly the kind of sunlight needed to disinfect the bureau’s toxic culture.
The American people deserve to know when their government suppresses intelligence for political reasons.
They deserve accountability when officials put partisan considerations ahead of national security.
And they deserve assurance that this kind of corruption will never happen again.
Christopher Wray and the officials who participated in this cover-up need to face consequences for what they did.
The FBI cannot be allowed to pick and choose which intelligence to investigate based on whether it might embarrass their leadership.
That’s not law enforcement – that’s political corruption at its worst.
