How long has Grassley known about the 1023 form?
I watched his qs to Wray from 8/22.
First question to highlight. They discuss WBs. Grassley asks about anon WB protection
We know the 1023 is high level anonymous. Grassley needs to protect him/her

Grassley asks a "hypothetical" question about what the FBI would do if foreign persons had made unlawful $ to officials. Would that pose a national security concern?
Watch Wray's reaction.

Grassley asks again. What would the FBI do when evidence was presented that foreign nationals had sent $ to politically exposed persons.
Wray goes into "lawyer mode"
c-span.org/video/?c507597…
Grassley follows up and wants to know how the FBI determines what is or isn't disinformation.
Listen to Wray's answer in light of what we learned from the Twitter files. Did he not know what was going on, or was he lying?
c-span.org/video/?c507597…
Grassley wants to know if the FBI sends info from one US Atty office to another. Is that protocol?
Bear in mind, publicly we had just learned about Thibault burying information. But I think it is more than that he is referring to here. What do you think

Now we move to 3/23. Grassley questions Garland.
First, he asks about protecting WBs
(We know they don't protect WBs)
c-span.org/video/?c507598…
Grassley poses a hypothetical. What would DOJ/FBI do when dozens of sources provide similar info about a singular individual over a period of years?
c-span.org/video/?c507598…
Grassley then moves beyond hypotheticals, and says the exact same things have been alleged in Hunter's case. He wants Garland to tell him what he has done to investigate. Garland says the US Atty has full authority to investigate.
c-span.org/video/?c507598…
So, do you agree? Do you think Grassley has known about the 1023 and much more (dozens) about the Hunter Biden case? I know he wants to protect the WB. I know he wants to see if the info is real. Is it just about revealing FBI/DOJ coverup or exposing Biden corruption?
