If the American people hear the phrase, “I can’t comment on an ongoing investigation,” one more time, they’ll collectively lose their lunch, and forever abandon what little interest they had left in congressional hearings. You know it’s coming after any serious question. It’s the deep state’s version of taking the fifth.
FBI Director Christopher Wray was certainly aware of the battery of questions with which the Republicans intended to barrage his position. What’s stunning is the seeming complete lack of preparation for those questions, or perhaps, more accurately, Wray’s complete lack of concern.
It’s almost like he feels immune to accountability, sheltered under the wings of the vulture-like Merrick Garland. They’ve feathered their nests comfortably, with the Sock-Puppet-In-Chief providing overwatch from the White House. All the major news networks are entrenched and providing cover fire.
Representative Jim Jordan dialed in the big bore howitzers during his opening remarks, shelling Director Wray with allegations regarding the intelligence report produced by the FBI’s Richmond Field Office on “radical” catholics, the mistreatment of some FBI whistleblowers, the investigation into school board parents, and most significantly, the recent decision by U.S. District Court Judge Terry Doughty.
The Doughty decision details FBI collusion with big tech to suppress any questioning of COVID policies, the stolen 2020 presidential election, or Hunter Biden’s laptop chock full of pornography, drug use, prostitution, and sexually suggestive pictures of underage girls. Jordan fired point blank at Wray stating that clearly the FBI “misled companies in regard to the laptop story..which is a nice way of saying they [the FBI] lied.”
Can you imagine the 24/7 coverage if Donald Trump, Jr. was in possession of that kind and volume of salacious material? We all know the answer. It would be the feeding frenzy to end all feeding frenzies.
The Big Tech collusion question posed by Representative Jordan is a critical one, and Wray just bobbed, weaved, and retreated to his bunker hidden behind the good work agents do in thwarting cyber threats and their vital mission to help combat corporate, as well as foreign adversary, espionage.
The American people just want straight answers. Representative Jordan said, “four out of five Americans feel that there is a two tiered system of justice.” And Americans have every right to feel that way.
Director Wray could have given some real answers, but empty suits fold under pressure.
The investigation into school board parents could have been an easy layup for Director Wray. But, he clearly isn’t interested in going to war with his DOJ overlord. He could and should have said, the FBI’s involvement with the activities of school board parents was an overreach, since allegations of assault and battery are properly left to the disposition of the states and local law enforcement.
But that’s not the position of a tyrannical DOJ, and Director Wray isn’t about to go toe to toe with AG Garland — an empty suit response to a fairly straight forward set of facts.
The closest Wray came to believable transparency was his response to the Richmond Field Office’s infamous intelligence product. Wray stated he was “appalled” by the product and immediately moved to have the document removed from all FBI databases. He strenuously denied Jordan’s question as to the FBI’s intention to recruit priests as informants — frankly, an absurd question, and clearly a bit of flourish for the base, but not unfair. As bad as the FBI’s conduct has been lately, not much can be considered out of bounds.
However, the Richmond intelligence product is an outlier. Under better circumstances, a piece of “analysis” so poorly sourced and obviously motivated by political agenda would have become part of what commonly happens internally to FBI gaffes — they’re lampooned via office wide, and if they’re world-class stupid, bureau-wide internal email.
Any Supervisory Special Agent worth his or her salt would have placed such a spurious document in the nearest circular file and gotten back to the serious work of the FBI. However, these are by no means better circumstances.
The real danger inherent in the shift to intelligence collection becomes magnified as the FBI workforce transitions into a pure Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion product. Gone will be those who come from law enforcement or military backgrounds, highly educated JD graduates, or candidates from analytic disciplines like CPA programs. These men and women are being replaced by individuals selected by DEI criteria. And, the woke among us are being entrusted with a gold badge and our civil liberties.
Director Wray came under fire from Democrats, as well. Representative Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) lobbed a mortar round that blew him out of his bunker. Jayapal said, “does the FBI purchase data?” Wray denied the accusation but said, “there is a lot of precision and technical dimensions to this.” She followed with, “Well, I do appreciate that, but I am looking at a report that is from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence saying that the FBI purchases data.” Unless the FBI is operating under court order (FISA) it is in violation of federal law.
Wray isn’t helping his embattled agency with his obfuscation and dodging. An element has arisen militating for the abolishment of the FBI. Conveniently, this narrative plays directly to the interests of our foreign adversaries. Many people who are leading or are complicit in the “Control-Alt-Delete the FBI” position are the useful idiots of hostile foreign intelligence organizations. How would the CIA enhance, manipulate, and action a narrative to defund or abolish the FSB — the Russian counterpart to the FBI, our nations first line of defense against domestic foreign intelligence operations.
The FBI can be great again. And, hopefully, on day one of Trump’s return to office in 2024, his first order of business will be to appoint a constitutionalist AG and FBI Director, preferably with real law enforcement experience — not just a DOJ empty suit. That’s not the entire solution, but it’ll be a big step in the right direction.
But, but, but Trump appointed him. So strange.
And the scorned bitch Chris Cristy recommended him.
Trump’s mistake was not firing that chickenshit weasel.
And Fauci and Mr. Magoo, aka, Bill Barr. Failure is not an option going forward. A sober assessment of Trump proves he got sucked into the anal vortex of the Deep State. In my view, the mistake next year will be Trump himself.
You have that right 100%!
He’s another Rino like so many of them. It’s like the Rino’s are planted there on purpose..
People are so stupid for voting Democrap. Can’t they see how they’ve destroyed our Country?
My guess is that he was uninitiated & that he’ll be “once bitten; twice shy”
It’s my hope that if he gets past the massive voter fraud, that he’ll take a flamethrower to every woke burocrat on 1st month in office.
Trump appointed F.B.I. Director Wray and Wray, nonetheless, intends to lock Trump up. That’s what happens when self-government becomes a farce. Will DeSantis fix that, too?
DeSantis will at least try, and he’ll have the possibility of eight years to fix matters like the weaponization of government which was only exacerbated by Trump’s feckless four years. Trump’s nominees now have two options: Send him to prison or set him up to lose again. Or both.
The nostrums of 2016 proved inadequate in 2020 – no reason to believe that they’ll be adequate in 2024. Let’s face facts: Trump meant well, but he failed to uproot and destroy the Deep State.
We don’t owe our loyalty to DJT or anyone else. We owe it to the nation and Constitution. This time let’s nominate someone who has already proven he’s a true believer in the power of our holy writ.
“We don’ owe our loyalty to DJT?” What do you mean “we” paleface?
He means the never Trumper RINO retards. They think their numbers are vast when if fact, they’re minuscule, just like their baby dicks.
DeSantis has no chance and knows it. Trump didn’t lose in 2020, unless you’re shit for brains stupid enough to believe massive vote cheating by the D-Bags didn’t occur.
My, your cult follower tendencies are showing big today. I guess it’s a good thing Jim Jones is dead. Beware that undeserved “loyalty” thing. It could get you killed. It will most certainly get you another four years of Marxist rule because Trump, his ego, bombasity and hyperbole cannot win in the only six states that will matter in 2024. Better grow up and make a rational choice to advance the cause of liberty and properity or watch your cause die because Dear Leader cannot advance it.
Hey, Turd of Tocqueville,
Jim Jones was a cult buddy of Jimmuh Cahter and never Trumpism is a mental disorder.
Maybe you can nominate Senor Yeb or pussified Pence? It’s not like DeSantis has a chance AND WE ALL KNOW IT.
Trump is the only candidate who may overcome the coming mass Dirtbagocrat vote fraud and punks like you know it, which is why you oppose his candidacy.
Do you know who would support Big Don Trump if he could? Alexis de Tocqeville, that’s who. I’ll bet he’s up in Heaven smiling down on Donny Boy right now.
No one owes the incompetent butt head that got rolled by the deep state for four years and continues to get rolled by them any degree of “loyalty” at all. He brings the persecution on himself for the most part with his mouth. The cause of liberty and constitutional restoration is far too important to risk it to the drama and spectacle that Trump brings to the table. In fact, his demand that DeSantis or anyone else owes him loyalty while he calls them pathetic little juvenile names, is just more evidence of his ego and narcissistic character. Trump cannot communicate. He’s all hot air, bombasity and hyperbole. End the war in Ukraine in 24 hours? Get real.
As for DeSantis, he does have a competent governing infrastructure already in an important executive role that has proven massively successful in a very large populate state where his record created a landslide victory and solid congressional coattails. It may be another generation before the Marxist Party begins to make inroads in Florida again. He displays legal and political competence where Trump does not (which is why it was so easy for the deep state to roll him). And he does not alienate political allies by calling them petty juvenile names. He builds alliances, not tear them down. Since he communicate articulately and intelligently in a consistent and organized fashion, he is more likely to turn the independent voters in the the only six battleground state that are going to matter in the 2024 election rather than pushing them away in disgust of Trump’s mouth. All the other 44 states are wrapped up on one side of the political divide or the other and that’s just the reality of contemporary American poitics.
If honesty brings persecution from the Deep State, we know we’re in serious trouble, and that includes you.
Liberty and the restoration of constitutional law would be impossible to achieve without Trump and you know it, which is why you oppose him, Moby.
Your false insults about Trump are trite and tiresome, as are you.
DeSantis is a great governor and Floridians need him but he cannot win the presidency.
And the only problem in the six “battleground” states (metaphors are asinine when used to describe reality instead of in poems, songs and novels) is mass vote cheating. As if those state’s citizens actually voted for Alzheimer Joe Beijing Biden. My ass.
If Trump can’t win those six states, what makes you think Desantis can? The left hates and vilifies them both. I’d be happy with either, myself, and most of the arguments between the factions resemble a circular firing squad to me. I think Trump has a better chance at the swing voters, but I don’t know if my vote even counts anymore in my state, other than denying the democrat party the opportunity to vote in my stead.
Yeah, I know, Trump nominated him, and the Deep Sta … er, I mean, Senate confirmed him. And Chris Christie recommended him to Trump. You’d think that Trump would stop trusting Deep Staters. On the other hand, remind me why we absolutely MUST vote for Trump.
Because Trump is the only one who has a chance of harming the deep state.
The deep state will continue to roll him because of his mouth and the fact that he has no political or legal competence. And I fail to see how those circumstances advance the cause of “draining the swamp” when any effort he makes at doing so will only be viewed as obstruction which will lead to the constant distraction of more independent counsels, impeachments and other drama and spectacle. That is not the way rational people advance their cause.
Fixated on what a man says while ignoring what a man achieves. You 2cent intellectualism is showing.
The most successful President in living memory has no political or “legal” competence. Shyeah. Right.
Idiot.
And whoever the Republican candidate turns out to be, the full evil of the Dirtbagocrat sewer will be unleashed on him. Only Trump can withstand that corrupt assault, which is why scum like you oppose him with your STUPID lies.
You don’t fool anybody, you troll bitch.
You can weep in your beer all you want, but the Democrat Party wanted to have its own version of the KGB, and it got it. Republicans, of course, will be able to wring their hands and talks about the values, the Constitution, the Supreme Court rulings and all the usual nonsensical stuff. But Democrats understand where real power is. And it looks like Trump will belatedly learn it, too, on his way to some Alaskan reeducation camp.
Because the GOP establishment has no spine and their tiny little sacks are empty.
Sez the Dirtbagocrat tranny who had its sack surgically removed.
Quantico needs to be emptied, along with all regional field offices, badges and weapons collected, clearances revoked, buildings burned down and the ground salted to prevent any growth. Let the dried, empty lots stand in testament to a failed mission by corrupt people.
When an agency starts with a cross-dressing J. Edgar, who spent most of his time digging up dirt on vulnerable politicians, I’m not exactly sure what we expected.
The FBI and its predecessor were never great. The laboratory had more money to develop and exploit testing than any other civilian investigative agency, and didn’t always abuse those resources to convict the accused. But from the inception under Teddy Roosevelt until today, the abuse of federal power to arrogate police authority not granted the government under the Constitution and the coercive and extortionate behavior of directors since Hoover have been a stain on our republic. This agency should be eliminated root and branch, the headquarters should be razed, and the site made into a memorial park to the victims of FBI abuse.
Razing the current headquarters would immediately upgrade the architecture of the city. It’s that hideous. But know that a NEW FBI headquarters is in the works, and both Maryland and Virginia are campaigning to host it. It’s also slated to be bigger than the Pentagon building! Why do they need that much space? Are they planning a major expansion (a horrible thought)? Or perhaps they expect to co-locate and work with with those 87,000 new IRS agents.
But is any new space required for anyone? DC, like many cities, is experiencing a glut of empty office space and barely occupied government buildings, given that so many insist on continuing to work from home.
“Hey, Tom, will you open an “investigation” on this? I’ve got a Congressional hearing coming up next week and I need an excuse to be able to refuse to answer any questions about it.” This is just a farce. We’re being played for idiots.
Bidens acts of Trason and his Globalism proof he is a total fake and needs voted out
I hope he goes the way of Lincoln, Garfield and Kennedy. They didn’t deserve it but he does.
It’s only a matter of time before the decrepit old buzzard falls down and breaks a hip, anyway.
J.Edgar Hoover, where are you now that we need you?
Crying for tranny tyranny in Hell.
Death Wray is not an empty suit; he’s a duplicitous traitor. He feigns ignorance when he is the one orchestrating the malign attacks on patriotic Americans.
He is, in fact, a wolf in wolf’s clothing.
Why does this otherwise fine publication have an FBI shill writing for them? I don’t know how many years Nantz worked for the Famous, But Incompetent FBI, but it was clearly long enough that he was completely ‘institutionalized’.
Most comments on here are from people who refuse to acknowledge (or choose to be ignorant of) the realities of the moment Trump faced while choosing a nominee for FBI director:
First, it was a nominee that must win Senate confirmation, and Feinstein was on the warpath against Trump as the typical way the democrat party works, as she lobbied for Trump and Sessions to be banned from choosing the next FBI director after Comey was fired. The democrat party always uses the Alinsky method “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.”
Second, AG Sessions had foolishly recused himself from investigations involving campaigns, and the FBI had already been weaponized deeply by all those years of Obama and was ACTIVELY investigating Trump on every level, especially the campaign.
Third, the Deputy AG Rosenstein was dirty, as was (is) all the DOJ and working against Trump and for the deep state-infiltrated FBI and DOJ. Comey had showed his allegiance to the deep state protecting Hillary at all costs. To replace him, Trump’s leading candidate was former democrat Senator Joe Lieberman (remember this would be someone that the Senate would OK) and while the choice was being made Rosenstein hired Mueller as “special counsel’ to investigate the Russia hoax. Feinstein was mouthy about getting Andrew McCabe appointed since he was in the back pocket of the DNC and following Alinsky’s “keep the pressure on” tactic.
Fourth, neither Sessions nor Barr could do anything against Obama’s deep state constructed DOJ, that has only gotten deeper over time. Remember, the Democrat Party are the self-anointed “elite political class” in America, following the dictates of the DNC and democrat overlords. They are using Alinsky’s axiom “Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules.” while Republicans are just now thinking they must agree with early voting, ballot harvesting, stuffing ballot boxes, supporting ballot drop boxes and all the other methods of fraud the democrat party invented. No republican will be able to win under these rules, but President Trump has the largest following.
