Former U.S. Attorney Scott Brady found the Department of Justice's process in 2020 for investigating public information about Hunter Biden's involvement in Ukraine "very unusual.” Coordinating with FBI headquarters was particularly difficult, Brady said, noting it was a "challenging working relationship" and that he was often met with "reluctance on the part of the FBI" to help Brady with investigating. "We were told by the special agents that they had to go pens down sometimes for two or three weeks at a time before they could reengage and take additional steps because they were still waiting on, again, someone within the 17 chain signoff to approve," Brady said. "And had you ever seen a 17-person signoff required by the FBI?" Brady was asked by the committee. He replied, "Never in my career." Why were DOJ and the FBI stonewalling so much? What were they trying to hide?
