I suppose no one even asked him about the Nashville ****** shooter's manifesto, and why the FBI thinks we can't possibly handle its release without becoming violently enraged.
I didn't hear any questions about that but then again there is soo much wrong with the FBI, that's kind of low on the priority list. Whether 702 is reathorized without significant changes is more important and time sensitive since they don't get many more chances at Wray. In my view, they should have him on the Hill twice a month. Bring him back to answer every question to which he answered, "I don't have those numbers before me right now," and make him provide that information in the follow-up hearing.

I remember my jaw hitting the floor back in March 2017 when Comey claimed he had no idea how any FBI employees authorized to do 702 queries. You don't know? That is warrantless spying on American citizens yet those allowed to do so is so big the Director of the FBI has no idea?
Here is someone making the case against reauthorizing.....

Additionally, IG Horowitz also admitted that somewhere north of 10,000 federal employees have access to conduct these searches of the NSA database; a database which contains the electronic data of every single American, including emails, text messages, social media posts, instant messages, direct messages, phone calls, geolocation identifiers, purchases by electronic funds, banking records and any keystroke any American person puts into any electronic device for any reason.


Perhaps this fits in with Wray's "ignorance" of "parallel construction".

FBI thinks putting one goon behind Wray in a blue tie and one goon behind him in a red tie and Wray wearing a red and blue tie has some symbolism...probable sounded great in hearing prep.
How about he's a lifelong Republican handpicked by Donald Trump and claiming he has some kind of vendetta against conservatives is absurd on its face


OR…

We watch what people do and judge them on their actions.

Crazy, right?!!!
Yeah and you have to explain his actions away as driven by a vendetta against the party and the man that put him where he is, because the alternative…

Why do you people keep making these idiotic claims? The list of lifelong swamp residents who have opposed Donald Trump is long.

Hell, Mitch McConnell even supports democrat candidates over republicans frequently.

Wray sure likes using the number of applicants as a proxy for public approval.

I'm sure it has many other explanations, like increased recruitment.

Or more likely degradation of minimum standards because of ESG, DEI and the like.

Wray was just defelecting to use up the questioners' time.

It's like the moronic claims that Wray or Comey or Mueller being "republicans" gives them any credibility.

What does this have to do with what we're discussing?

Turley is more than a little irked at Wray.

Quote:

Yesterday's hearing with FBI Director Christopher Wray was another maddening experience of faux contrition and open evasion. Wray apologized for violations that have already been established by courts or Congress (often over the best efforts of the FBI). However, on ample public evidence of new violations, Wray continued to use his favorite testimonial trilogy to dismiss any questions: expressing (1) lack of knowledge, (2) ongoing investigations, and (3) promises of later answers or briefings. He did, however, hold forth in detail after Rep. Eric Swalwell asked him about FBI Family Day.

Despite the near total lack of substance, Wray did make one surprising denial. He insisted that the FBI does not engage in censorship efforts, focuses only on "foreign disinformation," and does not pressure companies to censor others. Those denials are not only directly contradicted by the recent 155-page opinion of a federal court and the Twitter Files, but a new release from the Twitter Files and journalist Matt Taibbi.

Wray said that "…The FBI is not in the business of moderating content, or causing any social media company to suppress or censor." He then added that these companies are not under any pressure in making their own decisions whether to censor people or groups flagged by the FBI.

The statement is obviously false. The FBI maintained a large operation of agents actively seeking the censorship of thousands, as discussed in my prior testimony.

Taibbi explained:
Quote:

"In one shot, you can see the FBI asks to remove three accounts, that gets forwarded to Twitter, Twitter immediately suspends them, the accounts. But more importantly, when there's a glitch, and the accounts remain up, the FBI immediately writes back and says, what's the deal? We just wrote to you, why is it still up? So, that shows the nature of the relationship basically that it's not really a collaboration. It's much more like somebody reporting to an authority.
… [W]hat happens in these instances in the ones that I was showing, they're just forwarding names of accounts that they say are associated with foreign threat actors. It's very vague. And Twitter is taking them down before they even investigate. In this case, they later determined that they couldn't find anything connecting them to any bad actors. In fact, one of them was from Canada. And so, that's the problem. If it's not connected with a crime, they're just asking to take accounts down because they don't like the profile of them."

We also have hundreds of emails that show the FBI and other agencies targeting individuals for a wide array of disinformation, misinformation, and malinformation. The latter category is truly Orwellian. It covers true statements that can be used for a misleading purpose.

Are you not familiar with all of the lifelong Republicans, handpicked by Donald Trump, claimed by him and others to have some kind of vendetta against him and conservatives?

Sir, This Is A Wendy's.

Funny watching someone try to use this as an insult while they're sitting in the corner with a dunce cap on.

Who gives a **** about Trump? This thread is about Wray.

Now you can get back to posting your gibberish into the ether.
