It’s a positive development, and long overdue: Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), the chairman of the House Oversight Committee, announced on Monday that he would start proceedings to hold FBI Director Christopher Wray in contempt of Congress. Still, even though this is welcome news, Wray is unlikely to suffer any significant consequences, even if the full House votes that he is indeed in contempt of Congress. Can he be held in contempt of the American people?
Wray faces the prospect of being held in contempt of Congress because of the latest confirmation of the fact that the FBI is no longer a law enforcement agency, but a fetid cesspool of corruption that has been weaponized to persecute and destroy Donald Trump and other opponents of the Biden regime while sheltering Old Joe, his chip-off-the-old-block boy Hunter, and their henchmen from all possible consequences of their influence-peddling and other crimes.
Fox News reported Monday that Wray may get slapped with the contempt of Congress charge despite the fact that “the FBI brought the document in question – an FBI-generated FD-1023 form that allegedly describes a $5 million criminal scheme involving then-Vice President Joe Biden and a foreign national relating to the exchange of money for policy decisions – to Capitol Hill on Monday for Comer, R-Ky., and ranking member Jamie Raskin, D-Md., to review in a secure SCIF (sensitive compartmented information facility), resulting from a back-and-forth between committee Republicans and the bureau over whether it was in compliance of his subpoena.” This review only happened after Wray had repeatedly stalled and stonewalled in the face of requests from Comer for this document.
And Comer isn’t satisfied, charging that the FBI is still covering for the senescent kleptocrat who calls himself President of the United States: “Despite the accommodation, Comer said Monday that the FBI is still not in compliance with the subpoena to turn over the physical document to the committee.” Comer stated, “At the briefing, the FBI again refused to hand over the unclassified record to the custody of the House Oversight Committee. And we will now initiate contempt of Congress hearings this Thursday. Given the severity and complexity of the allegations contained within this record, Congress must investigate further. The investigation is not dead. This is only the beginning.”
That’s great, but Wray and Comer both know that while this may be only the beginning, it is also only the end, because Wray has friends and allies up and down the Washington establishment, and no matter what the House does, the elites will close ranks and do whatever it takes to cover for Old Joe and Hunter. The American people currently have no way to hold the FBI accountable, at a moment when the FBI needs to be held accountable more than ever. The FBI has been an energetic purveyor of the Jan. 6 “insurrection” hoax, making the lives of numerous Americans miserable for the crime of being in Washington on Jan. 6, 2021. It opened terrorism investigations against parents for the crime of being angry over their children being subjected to critical race theory in primary school. It has harassed and terrorized pro-life activists. It has manufactured “white supremacist terrorists” so as to justify the Biden regime’s ridiculous and oft-repeated claims about what constitutes the largest terror threat the nation faces today.
Contempt of Congress? Christopher Wray (and Merrick Garland) need to be held in contempt of the American people, and James Comer and company need to start addressing the larger picture. It’s good that they’re following up on the Bidens’ influence-peddling, and good that they’re holding Wray’s feet to the fire, but if we had a truly savvy, aggressive opposition in America today, its leaders would be challenging the Leftist establishment to defend the idea that the FBI was even still worthy of the trust of the American people in the slightest degree. They would be demanding that Wray demonstrate that he had even the remotest interest in administering fair and impartial justice rather than simply serving as the muscle for the Democrat Party and its allies. A genuine opposition would be doing everything it could to cut funding for the FBI to the bone and publishing plans for top-to-bottom reform that would eliminate the corrupt and politicized regime apparatchiks that currently infest it. Can we see that, Rep. Comer?
The GOP threatened that last week, so I expect nothing of substance. I won’t be ‘disappointed.’
Yes, they’re all talk and no action. Typical RINOs.
What secrets are they keeping from us? this is far worst them Watergate ever was
This smug prick & Holder should have THEIR homes raided at 4:am, but so far, that’s harassment only reserved for MAGA patriots.
The bloated Christie is the one who pushed for Wray. (And to think he started off so well in Jersey.)
Christie has something in common with Romney . . . Hell hath no fury, like a bitch denied a cabnet position.
Very good description, David! We can only extremely briefly picture something like that happening, but the balloon is also a prick holder and breaks in a fraction of a second! Damn! The only “person” that I detest more than all 3 of these characters is Weasly Wray!
I don’t need a useless resolution of contempt from Congress to know that Wray already holds us in contempt. Hopefully the only job he will ever get in the future will be as an occasional guest on MSNBC
Sh*t or got off the pot!!!
They held Eric Holder in contempt 10+ years ago. He just laughed at them. I predict a repeat performance.
James Comer’s threat against Chris Wray is a sad joke. Like re-arranging the Titanic’s deck chairs. Our nation is in the throes of an existential crisis. At stake is its very survival as a self-governing, constitutional republic. The original, ratified Constitution is in tatters. It’s been replaced with a counterfeit, “living” replica. The rule of law is comatose. Fair and honest elections are the exception rather than the rule.
We Americans are no longer governed by our elected representatives. We are ruled by unaccountable, social-engineering bureaucrats and lifetime-tenured, hyper-politicized lawyers posing as impartial judges. Under these circumstances, hollow gestures such as Comer’s threat are pointless. No one believes Wray will get more than a wrist slap for weaponizing the FBI against law-abiding opponents of the corrupt uniparty infesting our nation’s capital. What’s worse, everyone knows he will eventually retire with a fat pension.
If the nation is to survive this crisis, impeachment proceeding must be initiated against Merrick Garland for thoroughly politicizing the DOJ and against Joe Biden for his treasonous refusal to enforce our immigration laws. The bad news is we know this will NEVER happen, because the Republicans in Congress lack the courage to use this “nuclear” option against the globalist enemies of freedom who have transformed the government into an organized criminal enterprise.
Only a peaceful resistance comprised of liberty-loving, God-fearing citizens can restore the rule of law and save our republic. In choosing our tactics, the resistance must bear in mind that there’s no limit to what can be accomplished when the eternal struggle for freedom is waged from the moral high ground of non-violent civil disobedience. It is this universal truth, not armed resistance, which keeps actual and wannabe dictators awake at night from Beijing to Tehran to Moscow, and from Brussels to Davos to Washington, D.C.
So Wray is charged with contempt, so what!!!
From Congress, it goes to the US Attorney, a Biden appointee.
Then to the Attorney General, a Biden Appointee.
Is this an exercise in futility?
Holding in contempt has the equivalent of a parental finger-wagging
There is a definite contempt by Wray, and many others – of the Constitution of the United States.
