Chris Wray Gets Grilling From Republicans, Tongue Bath from Democrats
FBI Director answers (or doesn't) questions from the House Judiciary Committee
Greeting Screamers! Apologies for the late night (or early morning) Screaming, but I just got home from softball (body’s verdict: more difficult but results still satisfactory) and I want to get this out tonight.
In DC today, FBI Director Christopher Wray was in the hot seat in front of the House Judiciary Committee, where he was attacked by Republicans and praised by Democrats. The entire 6-hour hearing is here, but I’ve rounded up some highlights that take much less time to watch! (Not lots of words because lots of videos!)
We start with House Dems Vice Chair Ted Lieu boldly attacking ex-president Donald Trump. I love how one of the people he lists is a “Trump donor”, as if the people who give you money define you ONLY IN THIS CASE but not when it’s Big Pharma:
Representative Madeleine Dean also had some snarky stuff to say about the ex-president:
But the lapdog of the day award goes to Jerry Nadler, who in 20 seconds manages to fellate the FBI while ALSO getting in a dig about Trump! Really impressive time management here:
Here, director Wray explains that in China, companies are forced to have special committees embedded in the company to ensure proper fealty to the CCP.
Jim Jordan points out that’s exactly what the FBI has been doing:
Mike Johnson rips into Wray about government censoring Americans legal speech:
Harriet Hageman points out that the government can’t simply outsource their violations of the Constitution:
Chairman Jim Jordan grills Wray about the Bank of America scandal in which they provided account information — including purchases — for all customers in DC on January 5th and 6th, 2021:
Not to worry, though. Wray explains to Thomas Massie that this kind of stuff happens ALL THE TIME!
Matt Gaetz wanted to talk about the huge number of illegal “compliance incidents”. He helpfully provides the tape proving Wray wrong.
Troy Nehls wants to talk about Ray Epps. Chris Wray does not.
Andy Biggs wants to talk about undercover assets on the ground on 1/6. Chris Wray does not.
For those of you who were worried about G, you’ll be happy to know that he’s found a new keyboard to sit on!

I can barely watch that self-satisfied, lying POC Wray.
On the other hand, it looks as if G misses you.
