At today’s Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) questioned Deputy FBI Director Paul Abbate about an FD-1023 form from an alleged whistleblower regarding his accusations against the then-V.P. Biden:
0:02
Senator Hawley
0:04
Thank you Mr chairman. (Q) Mr Abbate let me
0:06
just stay with you. You just started to
0:09
answer Senator Blackburn’s question that
0:12
not releasing the 1023 or talking about
0:15
it is a matter of life and death,
0:16
question of life and death, you said.
0:19
Explain.
0:20
(A) It is potentially a question of life and
0:23
death. (Q) For whom? (A) With regard to the source
0:25
of the information.
0:26
(Q) So, okay, now we’ve confirmed that the
0:28
document exists. That’s progress because
0:30
the FBI director [Christopher Wray] initially denied that
0:32
it exists. Why did he do that? (A) We we have
0:35
already and previously acknowledged the
0:37
existence of the documents. (Q) Yeah, after
0:39
you first denied it. Now when a member of
0:41
this committee read it,
0:43
right, the FBI, let’s just get the record
0:45
straight, the FBI director initially said
0:47
it doesn’t exist, then Senator Grassley
0:49
said I’ve read it,
0:51
then he said oh okay, well, gotcha. I
0:55
guess it does exist.
0:57
Now, you’re going back and forth with
0:58
members of this committee. What’s in it?
1:00
why don’t you just release it?
1:01
Is it classified?
1:03
(A) The document is not classified. (Q) Okay, will
1:05
you commit to releasing it?
1:07
(A) Senator we’ll take that back and we will
1:09
work with you in this committee. (Q) How
1:11
about just say yes or no? Will you commit
1:13
to releasing this unclassified document
1:15
that alleges that the president of the
1:17
United States,
1:19
the president of the United States, has
1:22
taken 5 million dollars or more in
1:24
bribes from a foreign Nation? (A) The
1:26
document has already been released.
1:28
(Q) Pursuant to a subpoena to the house
1:29
oversight committee. Has it been released
1:31
to this committee? (A) We will work with this
1:33
committee within the parameters that are
1:36
established.
1:37
(Q) Will you release the document to the
1:39
public? It’s unclassified. Don’t you think
1:41
the American people have a right to see
1:42
it? (A) Senator, the document, as you know,
1:45
contains sensitive information that has
1:47
bearing on the life
1:50
of the source of the information.
1:51
(Q) Potentially you can redact the source’s
1:54
name. We do this all the time. (A) In some
1:57
instances, Senator, and I know you know
