              DEEPLY ROOTED POLITICAL INFECTION IN THE FBI

  (Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. MILLER-MEEKS. Mr. Speaker, my good friend Senator Chuck Grassley 
said it best when he said: There is deeply rooted political infection 
in the FBI. We can see this rot play out every single day when the FBI 
decides who they will and will not pursue. They targeted parents who 
showed up to school board meetings to hold their elected officials 
accountable and to speak up for their children. They targeted pro-life 
Americans who exercised their First Amendment right to peacefully 
protest and arrested them in front of their children. They rushed to 
investigate claims of Russian collusion--despite lapses and a bogus 
FISA warrant--even when those claims were not backed up the evidence.
  Yet, when dealing with Hunter Biden, the DOJ and the FBI chose to go 
easy on him and gave him a sweetheart plea deal, leaving him unlikely 
to go to jail.
  It must be nice.
  We have simply lost confidence in The Bureau and serious changes must 
be made by Director Chris Wray to root out favoritism and double 
standards so the American people can have faith in their institutions 
again.

  Mr. Speaker, I also wish my young friends Kurt and Cathy Haller a 
milestone 40th wedding anniversary.
  Happy 40th anniversary, Kurt and Cathy.
