Representative Matt Gaetz (R-FL) expresses a great deal of contempt for FBI Director Chris Wray during questioning today.
From the topic of FBI conduct in the Hunter Biden investigation to the FBI surveillance of American citizens through unauthorized and illegal database searches, Matt Gaetz goes full wolverine on the FBI director. WATCH:

I wish I could get excited about this stuff but we all know damn well it’s just for show and that nothing will be done to fix the problem.
You never know. They might write a sternly worded letter to the AG.
A very sternly worded letter.
Sound and fury signifying nothing.
(Hat tip: William Shakespeare)
Excellent!
DD
<Sound and fury signifying nothing.>
And in Wray’s case…Definitely told by an idiot 🙂
Well played!
Well now, sticking with the Shakespearean motif, instead of using ‘idiot’ I would use ‘a yellow bellied cuckolded jack knave’! <smiles>
And in the end the “idiot” will arise from his chair and saunter back to his office, secure in the knowledge that after the pantomime, his job as Head of this illegitimate administration’s Sturmabteilung is safe.
Kinda like watching a “professional” wrestling match……isn’t it Betsy?
Accurate, monti.
Yeah. They are all actors playing their assigned roles. It’s just insulting at this point.
I agree working man the theatre has lost all entertainment value and we all know it will come to nothing. We keep saying we’re not going to do the same old thing as we continue to do the same old thing. Jeez!
Ahhh….but the difference (the BIG difference) is there are a whole lot more folks that are actually seeing the clown show for exactly what it is.
Sand anyone?
Just who exactly do we call to make the arrests?
Yup, more theater.
My thoughts exactly
Bingo
Now they can go on their three or four week vacation! Another dog and pony show for the little people.
So that must make Wray a lying dog faced pony soldier?
what exactly would you like Matt Gaetz (within his power) to do?
This. This is all they can do. They can impeach him but McCarthy is a RINO and the Dems will block it. Dems are the enemy. Dems = Uniparty.
So impeach him anyway. Make McCarthy and the Dems play their cards. You want sunlight? Cause that’s how you get real sunlight.
Exactly! Impeach Wray anyway. Drag him through the mud. Expose the corruption and incompetence with witnesses and documents. Ruin his reputation so much that no Fortune 500 Corporation will ever hire him!
That’s what the Democrats would do!
Except those corps welcome folks like Wray.
It’s nothing personal, he’s just part of a system that has no conclusion. How about he exposes corruption in his own party. Start there.
Good question. I like Matt Gaetz and think he did an awesome job with smacking down evil Wray. What else CAN he do?
Was he reelected, in 2022 with a sizable margin of victory, JUST like Marco, Rubio, RDS, Kemp, Rattburger, etc.?
Than he is COMPROMISED and Complicit, and so to expect him to “do anything” about the corruption he is a part of, is just plain silly.
He, Jordan and all of the alleged 20/6 COULD hold a press conference, and explain that since McCarthy as Speaker refuses to sign and sign off on filing suit to force compliance, and charges of perjury, McCarthy is insuring that all of these hearings are thunder and fury, signifying NOTHING, and that they refuse to play along.
That until McCarthy steps down or steps up and authorises Court action, all of these hearings are in recess.
As just ONE example of what Gaetz and the rest COULD do, if they weren’t happily fund raising off of their performance art.
Aren’t the Republicans the majority in the House? Why don’t Matt Gaetz and the Republicans use every power that they have in the House including impeachment and defunding of this corrupt piece of garbage and his Stasi organization?
Wray knows exactly what you know…..congress will do nothing. He shows up, gives non answers (a DOJ/FBI speciality) squirms at the little sunlight he has to face them laughs all the way back to his office.
Agree. Like the Trey Gowdy Dog and Pony Show related to crooked hillary and Benghazi.
Wha!?
You don’t have faith in Kevin McCarthy!?
Tsk tsk
Will there be a 6 am swat visit to his home? CNN cameras? Perjury charges?
Pshaw.
Black pill with a bunch of juvenile support chiming in.
.
Ditto. And I’m also sick of media and video headlines that oooh aaaahhh Soandso DESTROYS Thisandsuch… and it’s nothing like that. This creep wasn’t perturbed in the slightest.
Where are the Marshals. These witnesses need to be locked up when they refuse to answer. The ONLY acceptable non-answer is Fifth Amendment. Talk talk talk talk talk talk…
.
US Marshals report directly to the WH, I believe.
Jordan said more laws with respect to FISA.
Congress passed 18USC3052, granting arrest authority to the FBI. Congress can pass another law taking away this authority, which is clearly being abused.
The fact that Congress is not rescinding FBI arrest authority, and is relying on stern letters and angry confrontations tells you all you need to know.
Congress has the hammer, but not the will to pick it up and use it.
Just need to relabel that hammer a gavel.
Well, Gaetz does not control Congress. It’s up to the voters to elect better people if they’re unhappy with the job Congress is doing.
Wray does not even deserve the kindness remaining in Matt’s conduct — Wray needs indictment and trial for violation of our rights.
That WILL take place under militia authority if it isn’t undertaken SOON.
The current military is busy getting gender reassignment.
The question isn’t “are you protecting the Bidens?”…the question is “are you CONTROLLING the Bidens?”
.
Why even ask a question that is not capable of being answered!? These Congresser imbeciles, many of whom are lawyers (!) should be asking simple questions that build upon themselves, and can’t be squirmed out of, and don’t permit the witness to go off on quibbling tangents — and especially yes/no questions, and WITHOUT lengthy yakking beforehand.
.
A couple of them DID do just that, most did not. Wray squirmed out of the hold almost every time.
THAT is the most likely secret.
noting: it can be both and almost always is both.
secret police spy state: we understand you have “this problem” joe malarkey…we can keep that problem and solve it…but here is what we would LIKE you to do…in the most sincere way we can express OUR DESIRE ABOUT WHAT WE WOULD LIKE YOU TO DO …
and so he does…and everyone gets paid.
the FBI has a long history of controlling criminals…and if the criminal is not slimy enough…they dirty them up enough to make sure.
joe malarkey was never the goal.
THE WHITE HOUSE POWER OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES WAS THE GOAL.
people need to be reminded about this…
the secret police could have installed ANYONE…they choose joe malarkey…but it was never ABOUT joe malarkey…there is nothing special about him. the secret police spy state would have dirtied up anyone …
in fact they tries numerous times with President Trump..and when it became clear President Trump was never ever going to play ball…….the put into motion every bit of energy expended to throttle him.
that’s how it goes with a tyrant police state.
they will fail…and they will be brought to justice…in the most unconventional way possible….because nothing else fits the sort of justice required for these kinds of crimes. They operate as thugs, lawless sickos…they die in the gutter…simple as that.
God Bless America
Matt tying down Wray. Feet to the fire. Multiple demonstrable misstatements sometimes called lies under oath. This will come back big time.
Wray needs to go awray. Far, far awray.
To jail.
unfortunate that Gaetz didn’t use the old “you are either a liar, an idiot, or completely incompetent – pick two” line…
Ignorance is bliss.
That was Wray’s big rehearsed response ” more people from your state are applying to work for the FBI”. He said it to Gaetz and to the rep from Texas too. Gaetz was pretty quick on his feet .
It seems like to me there’s an aspect of threat to that. This is not theatre, we all know they’re going to indict Gaetz if we can’t indict them first. It’s becoming more like open war – in the long run that’ll be a good thing. It’s also inevitable.
.
The response should have been “Well maybe there are a lot of people who are so sick of the FBI that they want to get inside to reform it. NOW ANSWER THE QUESTION I ASKED.”
.
Or maybe the people applying can’t find jobs that pay a decent wage. I don’t know where all these “newly created” jobs are, but I suspect they’re at Walmart and McDonalds.
The problem is that under mueller they changed the hiring requirements and I wouldn’t be surprised if in the fine print of their employment interview they are asked if they are willing to break the law if need be. The FBI doesn’t investigate crimes committed, but trap people into committing crimes that they then can investigate . It’s a worthless organization and should be shut down.
My reaction was “Interesting that you know the number of applicants from Florida, but have no idea how many FiSA violations in your own office. Pay more attention to your job–while you still have one, Smug Face.”
with the FBI bloviating about personnel and still abusing their power what kind of people are actually asking for a job at the FBI? Antifa and BLM?
This is all bluster.
Wray sits there grimacing his face,and shrugs his shoulders, essentially indicating there’s nothing Congress can do to him.
It’s all a joke.
Every member of CONgress has had FISA searches conducted on them. fbi most likely has the goods on each and every one of them. Kabuki theatre.
Kabuki theater.. NOTHING Will come of this..
Until “Plata o plomo”..
OH WAIT..
This footsie crap for reality TV is old – Way past due to impeach Garland and Wray. Get off your ass Jordan and McCarthy!!!
PS: Mike Davis back on War Room – guy is a pit bull who won’t let go of the bone.
Maybe, but I am now viewing him with a jaundiced eye.
All of this is theater. ALL of it. The only one who is legit is Sundance, and this site; but Bannon is a grifter interested in selling crap to rip-off his audience of fanatics. He mixes in some truth, but it’s mostly bluster. But what else would you expect from a safety-valve/off ramp for the frustrated MAGA base. Bannon et al’s rhetoric is masturbatory nonsense.
#batteredconservativesyndrome
Same for Tricker. I watched part of the big interview and Tricker basically said he didn’t like Trumps policies and he did like RFK jr’s politics. Tricker is a pacifist and of no use to humanity. Jordan Peterson basically called pacifists worthless non-men.
Yes, Benghazi revisited. Bannon’s bluster is wearing. He seems sincere and he has had some great guests. But this does not feel like winning. Is he controlled opposition? A more intelligent version of Alex Jones?
Although, many more people are awake now than when Trump was in office.
Everything in the moment. The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
Mike Davis is back on Warroom? After his actions defending Harmeet Dillon and the California GOP, who tried to kneecap Donald Trump behind closed doors? Wow – really bad move IMHO, Bannon!
This is disappointing news to me. Did Bannon call Davis out at all?
War room posted two short clips, if interested. Appeared to be covering Jordan’s Hearing.
I didn’t watch them. As I thought, Bannon had him lay lows or a few news cycles. CA GOP/ Dhillon lasted one day in the news. Here today, gone tomorrow, literally.
So Wray knows recruitment numbers for specific states but doesn’t know anything about FISA abuse
Haha—Wray IS rather selective in his knowledge about stats and facts.
But he will always get, “back to you with that information ” Barfffff
Nice pick up
There is every reason to become apathetic and somewhat despondent.
However this is a big deal…it may good to remember that the world is watching this slow motion “ train wreck” of a U.S. administration.
IMO that was a tremendous interview, and that Wray was rattled, and his incompetence, complicity or corruption is on full display.
He can’t go easily as the entire Biden regime would crash and burn, and the RINOs that suggested, or foisted Wray upon President Trump.
F@*k all these lying pukes!
Cheers and God bless President Trump.
Yes and that last zinger Gaetz threw at him absolutely deflated his ego. His entire countenance changed and he looked away.
Gaetz hit his achilles heel with that one liner.
Agreed.
Who knows what is real any, more but for the head of the F.B.I. to be spoken of in a lesser light than Hoover was pretty special.
Theatre, maybe?
But it’s nothing compared to Biden the official President o the U.S.A. making a complete fool out of himself all over Europe.
Cheers!
Literally no one is watching the train wreck. A recent article said only about 5% of the US population has even heard of the Biden scandals.
Possibly.
However a childhood friend in Scotland told has told me that Biden is the laughing stock of Europe…whether it be him wandering around being helped by King Charles or with his NATO bros he is being ridiculed big time.
Cheers!
I don’t believe that propaganda.
Only count the adult population, specifically those who vote, and everyone knows about the Biden Crime Family. Same for people in other countries.
Ockham’s razor.
I’m glad to see the questions asked and, wrays non answers actually telling on him but, I’m ready to see the Republican congress actually do something. Gaetz tells wray that the proof is right here…. everyone can see it. So, why dont Congress use the power of Congress and cut of the $ until someone spills the beans or, people start losing their jobs, become Whistleblowers and spill the whole enchilada. I’m glad to see more and more and people realizing that these committees are more for show. I believe most of the entrenched establishment representatives, democrats and republican, have or had friends, family or neighbors on some board, to oversee distribution of $ allocated from Congress. As Sundance says, we are not allowed to look behind the curtain.
Trillions at stake…🙄🙄
I don’t have that information for you.
I haven’t seen that document.
I can’t speak about anything under investigation.
I don’t understand the question.
What is the question?
Not that I am aware of.
I will have to get back to you on that.
Dir Wray will you please provide your thoughts on closing and restructuring the FBI’s current duties
The real question!
Makes you wonder how he’s qualified to be director of the FBI. If a McDonald’s drink filler was this incompetent at their job- they would be fired.
That’s how the Dems roll. They’re pretty much all incompetent-that’s how they like ’em.
Wray, Kamala, Biden, Buttigieg, Granholm, Blinken on & on.
Nobody cares about doing the good job, but they don’t perceive failure to know nothing.
Meanwhile if the Senate Repubs were smart, someone would have tried to push semi-comatose McConnell out of his job by now.
Instead they’re content to let him hang out like Diane Feinstein, but in a key position until his term expires years from now.
Sure would be nice to have a capable senator in that position going into the ’24 election.
Gaetz has protection in the FBI. He has to. His father and grandfather were in politics. He seems to be taking on a Nixon-like presentation, and I mean that as a positive. That’s all.
bu bam
The only way out of this is of course President Trump.
How snarky was that answer of applicants for the FBI on the rise, without a single inkling it might just be because Americans feel a strong NEED to get in there and for one, actually DO THE JOB CORRECTLY, and moreso to push-out the criminality running rampant throughout, in the ranks and at the top.
Yes, it’s not just the top level positions that have gone rogue, it’s all the way down into the field agents, and first line supervisors. You don’t get this level of covert action participation with JUST the top dogs, you need many dogs running alongside of them.
Or was that a veiled threat to Gaetz that if he was not careful there would be Florida agents watching him.
Despicable Wray.
Bout time and still not enough!
At this point, I’m more pissed off / annoyed / angered at Congress than at scum like Wray. Wray is a crooked scum bucket that doesn’t care openly.
Congress is a show, trying to scam Americans with dishonest feigned caring.
So after witnessing this monstrous arrogance from this unmitigated creep Wray raised in wealth on the upper east side of Manhattan private schools all the way. This scum__g, does anyone still believe the Heartland’s way out of this level of corruption and abject depravity is by voting? ANYONE? Here is what end stage commplacency has wrought wrapped up for years by the “silent majority” and “conservatives who’ve never “conserved” a damn thing. Nothing. Oh well, it will soon be National Felony League season once again so it’s time to get a $120. “Offical” hologrammed fave’ team jersey made by Nike who’s CEO says they’re really a Chinese company (NBA is their subsidiary there) and watch those that HATE you on a 60″ teevee scren in their house on Shady Lane. But “No worries, it’s all good, right dudes”? Doesn’t look like many allies come SHTF to me. The biggest tell just might be this punk’s statement is “how well they’re recruiting“. Let this sink in too. And insofar as these incessant empty hearings are concerned they can tape this one, or for this matter ANY other before it, and replay it for the next one scheduled = X. TINVOWOOT. The worst is squarely ahead and nothing this current “-R” cadre will change a damn thing. The worst? Squarely ahead. Promise.
Accepting Wray’s claim on it’s face, then we know way more people are now eager to join the FBI. Why?
Why are they joining?
This seems like a mob recruitment effort. Anyone not on the inside is on the outside, aren’t they.
more than likely they are just HIRING MORE. cause they are expanding.
Exactly-more crimes in a politically weaponized society. And they need loads of women and minorities for DEI purposes.
The “mob” recruited better. Trust me. I grew up along Bath Av. in Brooklyn ’70-’90’s and they’d STILL do better. For all the wrong done there it is a fact they were also Patriots which was one of their redeeming factors. This Dept. of Just-Us and their armed jackboot proxy fbi represented by this Punk Wray are recruiting more Wrays, D’Antuono’s, Chans, Strzok et al ad infinitum… and likely far worse.
Probably antifa and BLM
Why didn’t another Republican yield 5 more minutes to Gaetz?????
They couldn’t agree on the fundraising split.
Is the FBI protecting the Bidens?
Did the FBI and other agencies instigate J6 and frame the people being prosecuted?
Did the FBI and other agencies coordinate and protect all of the rent-a-mob violence and terrorism in the summer 2020?
Did the FBI and other government entities (like USPS) coordinate, implement, and protect all of the 2020 (and after) election fraud?
Is the FBI and other government agencies spying on Americans and monitoring their private communications?
The list could go on and on. I’m so tired of the GOP scripted shows in Congress. They had a great chance to slow all of this down with the budget and instead they funded these agencies with more money than they ever have. They will also vote to renew FISA whenever that’s up.
I’m even getting sick of Gaetz and Jordan and the so-called “freedom” caucus. They are all full of crap. Been played by these people my entire voting life. Never again. They can get stuffed as the Brits like to say.
It’s actions not words.
Oh, I am not sick of Gaetz at all. We need a hundred more just like him. Nobody else is doing this. They nibble around the edges, but nobody’s just blasting people the way he’s been doing it in the last couple weeks
Gaetz made the whole thing worth watching. Jordan stated there would be new laws forthcoming with respect to FISA. They certainly need to tighten that rubber stamp up. Several also mentioned that there should be firings over the illegal usage of the 402 searches. These two areas are ripe for abuse and in dire need of “fixing”. Still none of it matters if they keep hiring Hillary accolades for the FBI top brass.
The key word here is 𝑬𝑿𝑷𝑶𝑺𝑼𝑹𝑬.
The House controls the purse strings and can defund the FBI.
Do they have the guts to do it?
Time always tells the best story. 🤷♀️🇺🇸
And he has been in to many hearings…give me a break…indict him, fire him, defund the FBI…even one of these would be cheered…but none of them? Sorry, GOP, you are losers.
perjury after perjury committed, stats and facts presented time and time again of bribery, lawlessness, weaponization of federal agencies and still no impeachment proceedings for wray, garland, mayorkas, graves, monaco… at least enforce the Holman Rule. McCarthy is the perpetual gutless wonder and jordan comes in at a close 2nd!
Yes. I have to pause whenever one of the windbags blusters “we’ll make them testify under oath.” Oh, like anything’s going to come of that.
Are we de facto under martial law? Granted, the Democrats won’t indict themselves, but, there is not even the hint of a corrective action by the right.
These hearings are a master class in “Admiring the Problem”.
Probably one of the best ways to assist with ensuring the integrity of the 2024 would be for the House to simply refuse to give the DOJ/FBI any FY24 funding. No CR. No budget authorization. Nothing. Just shut them down through the 2024 election.
It’s not a perfect solution or a silver bullet, but it is clearly necessary.
Holy crap, at 1:18 or around there, when Matt asks about how many illegal FISA queries have been conduced under Wrays watch…..
Watch Wray. Watch his eyes. He blinks so rapidly. Anyone who knows liars and deceivers…..that’s a huge tell. It’s so bad. Blink, blink, blink, blink, blink, at light speed.
Oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive.
.
And who is going to arrest him for lying under oath in Congress? One of his subordinates? Or his boss Merrick Garland?
.
Likely no Federal agent of any kind will.
After the Senior Executive Service is abolished and federal agencies massively downsized? Who knows?
This reminds me of the Benghazi ‘inquests’. Never Forget!!
Super dooper fund raising effort by Gaetz. Other than raising funds and getting some air time, these people are useless as teats on a boar.
Democrats are as useless as teats on a boar.
He is the new Jordan. Both media whores to the core.
My opinion:
Hearings gave the Democrats another reason to walk away.
Today’s FBI is the Fixer – the fixer that protects every dirty secret of every politician. Until we have much less corrupt politicians in government, we will always have Comeys and Wrays.
Wray is a big POS. Gaetz handed him is arse.
And, based on his questioning, and others….they may not go after Wray but it does appear they are setting the state to abolish the Patriot Act.
Regardless, how is Wray and Garland not impeached? How? Oh, Uniparty.
I am not so hopeful that they will abolish the Patriot Act. Jordan stated that they would be drawing up legislation with respect to FISA. That’s a much smaller scope than the entire Act. However, it is the area that leaves average citizens at most risk of political prosecution with no ability to obtain justice. There are many things that could be done to shore up the fair handling of FISA and prevent abuse.
When is someone (besides a “conservative”) going to go to jail?….that’s what I thought.
Subpoena the org charts. We’ll get to the bottom of it.
Now the Republicans have to let FISA sunset, defund the FBI, and impeach Wray.
What bottle of hopium did you swallow. Jordan said they’d legislate FIXES to FISA not sunset it.
Gaetz could’ve wagged his index finger a few times at the director. That possibly could’ve registered a few more donors.
Democrat policies are destroying America.
We need more Republicans less Democrats.
Gaetz should run for governor of Florida.
Good idea, mg.
Yes, but I rather like seeing him in action in Congress fighting the enslavers.
If we cared about laws in this country, Wray would be publicly hanged for his crimes after receiving a fair trial.
I’m thinking tar and feathers. It’s classic.
So, I disagree with people claiming “it’s all theatre:”. There’s some theatrical ideas in politics, but you have to have these bad actors testifying (even if obfuscating) on the record to (1) expose the obvious lies and (2) make a referral for prosecution or perjury. Each step is necessary to sway public opinion among independent voters, and persuade voters in swing states, even if ultimately there is no referral or impeachment.
The payoff? There will be a Republican in the White House as a result.
The public? Most stations the public sees don’t even air the hearings. And if they do air it, only a few seconds are shown. Many people are busy at work, trying to survive with this inflation on everything.
The Payoff?
If President Trump is not the Republican elected in 2024, it’s a moot point.
Everyone else running, and those yet to announce, whether they be D or R, is already bought and paid for. #UniParty
What do Republicans believe in?
Currently, the party’s fiscal conservatism includes support for lower taxes, small government conservatism, free market capitalism, free trade, deregulation of corporations, and restrictions on labor unions.
.
Who is going to arrest them? The same FBI/DOJ?
Unless and until Congress stops “investigating” and starts making LAWS (and repealing bullshit laws), nothing can or will happen. YES defund, but laws too. For starters, repeal the Civil Service Act and make all federal employees at-will. Otherwise, as Trump discovered, you can’t fire them. Also ban public employees’ unions.
.
sounds like a few more let downs is what is needed, to align correctly
Make a referral for prosecution to who? Garbage Merrick?
You don’t think Pedo Joe will pardon Wray’s azz on his way out the door?
Matt just called the FBI Director a liar and a criminal in front of millions of Americans. Works for me. The steal was always going to have to be resolved burning cordite. Still, enjoy the reminders that a Republic demands servants that are overseen by ” We the People”.
Honestly, I’m surprised Wray even bothers showing up for these things anymore.
really, what a j oke.
The dog-n-pony show must go on
Why hasn’t McCarthy submitted impeachment papers on Wray for lying to Congress, for failure to do his job, etc.?
I believe the Speaker has authority to maybe even ARREST Wray!
McCarthy is our Barney Fife.
I always thought McCarthy was more of a Howard Sprague.
.
So damn annoying.
First off, why doesn’t Congress get rid of the idiot 5 minute rule. Because obviously it isn’t enough time for a questioner to pontificate and get their points into the record, and also ask questions. And then restrict the pontificating to 5 minutes!
Second, where are the followup questions. “Give me the name of the person who has this information.”
Third, the Chairs of these committees need to act like judges, and tell the witnesses to answer the question that has been asked. Also call time out for 15 minutes or a half hour and order the witness to get the information or be held in contempt. (And it wouldn’t hurt in the subpoena to require witnesses to have certain information and documents.)
.
“And it wouldn’t hurt in the subpoena to require witnesses to have certain information and documents.”
That is a good idea, even though the questioners usually want gotcha moments more than they want the truth. The weasel witnesses will give dodgy answers anyway, but pre-asking would make their excuses even more pathetic.
Typically, the Committee Chairman tells the agency head what the questions are and what documents to bring to the hearing so they can’t answer…I DON’T KNOW!
Why isn’t done for Wray?
Third, the Chairs of these committees need to act like judges
This.
A jail is located in the House basement. I don’t know the last time it was used, but now would be a good time to start.
McCarthy could change the rule to 10 or 15 minutes for any Committee he wants. Pelosi did!
Except McCarthy is a Uni-party fraud. He will talk like MAGA but he’s part of the GOPe. Many hih ranking Republicans were and are involved these schemes and McCarthy’s #1 job is to protect them. Not get to the truth which would expose his GOP brethren.
He’s a Never Trumper.
Congress only wants enough time for sound bites. They will not waste time on indepth examination. Congress and the FBI are in lockstep to distract, dupe, and on a whim — destroy the lives of the very people they are suppose to serve.
The next Republican could have yielded his time to Gaetz!
Look up Ken Buck’s time…it’s five minutes of him kissing Wray’s ass, citing wikipedia and thanking him. A sniveling suck up.
Hubs and I listened to this on a road trip. I kept asking if he was a dem. Then I heard who he was. Spumare!
Sadly, he’s part of the Freedom Caucus.
Usually presented here in COLO as a staunch conservative and pro-ag, which our current governor, all state
offices, and state legislature are not.
Just another disappointment.
Buck said he believed bidens “election” was not stolen because bill Barr said so
1000%. I often thought just when you get going out of time. Yes and contempt and employees or contractors of govt. must answer questions or also be fired/disciplined and contractors removed or barred. For fed employee can not plead the 5th in direct scope or nexus of employment. Job requirements not protecting them as persons. Very different. Think weingarten investigation for feds.
Just one more joke in our government. There are too many idiocies to track. So over it.
Of course it’s ludicrous to think Wray didn’t anticipate questions, and his convenient “I don’t recall/I won’t speak to that” answers were thumbing his nose.
What I don’t understand is why congress won’t compel jackwipes like Wray to answer or face contempt.
Once again, the dems were lockstep with each other, using their 5mins to defame PDJT and republican members, while cons, with a couple of exceptions, were all over the board.
Why don’t the cons have a solidified game plan, a list of questions, and keep hammering the issues? Weaksauce.
Cowardice and incompetence.
NO!,..Missy,…
COMPLICITY, ..NOT Cowardice or incompetence.
Do NOT use those explanations/excuses.
DO NOT LOOK AWAY, SEE the awful truth.
Republicans in Congress want you dead, JUST as much as Democrats,…Republicans just want to give you a hand up, into the cattlecar.
They hands up everyone into a cattle car, they won’t have anyone working and paying taxes to support their lavish lifestyle and/or to give away to foreign countries. Ask god for his guidance and do not be anxious about your life. God is in control here.
Because McCarthy has already made it clear he won’t sign the papers to take it to a Judge.
THATS the key; if you sue or are sued by,…say the Trump organisation, an entity MUST have an actual PERSON, named in the papers as representative, so its Trump organisation AND CEO Donald J. Trump.
For both Senate and House, the desugnated person is whoever is the SPEAKER. In order to drag Wray before a Judge and force compliance with testimony or subpoena, McCarthy MUST agree, and sign the papers.
And obviously he is NOT, and Wray KNOWS it, just as McCabe KNEW it.
Ryan did the same to Nunes, refusing to sign on any Court actions to compel docs or testimony.
Without that, the House committees are toothless, and the witnesses from the admin KNOW it.
Its all on McCarthy, and Gaetz’s assurance they would use a motion to vacate was b.s. or they should have done it by now.
🎭🍿 theater
Agree. ALL THEATRE!
theater for the sheep…
What’s dumber than a sheep?
Wray ?? Joe Biden ?? Definitely Hunter Biden…
THEY make the rules, and they intentionally put in the 5 minute rule, expressly so that the witness knows they can fillibuster.
If they wanted a real fact finding, they wouldn’t run it the way they do, at all.
No time limits, and staff lawyers that have LITIGATION experience and aren’t camera whore politicians would be asking the questions.
And, the witness would know the Speaker was ready, pen in hand to sign the papers to take them to Court, to have a judge order compliance.
But the witnesses KNOW McCarthy won’t sign, so they can thumb their noses at Gaetz, its all for show.
As was that “9 days to elect a Speaker” all kust kabuki theater, and Gaetz is just doing an homage to Rooster Goudy.
Fear not, vengeance is mine says the Lord. Each swamp creature will have his day before our Creator, just like you and me. Get right with God, live your best life in praise of him and fear not.
Gaetz is acting. Why isn’t Gaetz not fighting for decreasing inflation, energy independence, the southern border, J6 political prisoners or child sex trafficking? It’s because he’s part of the corruption.
I also love when the GOPe talks about impeachments for the Biden regime. Why would they impeach Biden and his ilk when they themselves installed Biden?
I know it’s fashionable to ask when are people going to jail, that this is a show – but hearings like this do have value in informing the public.
Remember, as time goes on with the media continually demonstrating themselves to be corrupt, incompetent and useless, more people are getting their information elsewhere. They will see these clips and they will help.
It’s kind of like twitter. It’s not perfect by far, but it advances the ball.
Thick headed Americans are obsessed with their money, retirement, wedding plans, and entertainments of all kinds. They aren’t listening to anything but their foolish hearts. Their idea of righteousness is watching Hannity, or Tucker if they’re really devout. This collapse is not happening in an information blackout.
You are absolutely wrong on Gaetz. If anyone has the desire to see personal harm on the Deep State, but in particular the FBI and DOJ, it is Gaetz. He is one of a few of the elected officials who like Trump, Flynn, Bannon, Stone, Manafort and Mike Lindell that have had to defend themselves against a lawfare accusation that was totally fabricated and survived to become a junk yard dog to bring them down until his last breath. He had the pleasure of leaks of him being accused of sex trafficking, while evil con men approached his father and tried to blackmail money with the ‘ promise ‘ that if they cooperated, he would get passed of Joe to pardon him. That was so amateurish to promise a pardon to one of the true MAGA opposition. We understand the frustration, but it is the RINO/Arsonists/Traitors who at every turn, whether it be McConnell/Romney/Lindsey ‘Smeagol, Graham preventing most of what leverage we the people have with only half of the legislative branch, and not the President to sign. I am not giving a pass to the House, for it is the moderate Repubs who are happy to use Dem votes to pass legislation not acceptable to MAGA. People need to also realize because of those truths, even if the House does articles of impeachment, the Senators cannot get it through. Just like their threats on contempt of Congrees are all bluster, because it requires the crooked DOJ to prosecute. So I will understand your frustration, but of all the people we need to vote out, Goetz is not one of them.
Very well put Ron !!
Absolutely true Ron!
He certainly should be total MAGA, after what dems have tried to smear him with! Basically pedophilia.
“Why isn’t Gaetz not fighting for decreasing inflation, energy independence, the southern border, J6 political prisoners or child sex trafficking?”
He is. You need to inform yourself. Gaetz is one of the handful of good guys in Congress.
Don’t get your knickers in a twist when someone isn’t doing exactly as you prefer. There are limitations. Calling someone like this a stooge because you’re not getting the results you want yesterday is cynicism that borders on virtue signaling in the opposite direction.
Simple test of whether he is corrupted or not.
Was he reelected, in 2022 with a large margin if victory?
Just like Marco, just like RDS, Kemp and Ratbuger?
If he was, then I consider him corrupted, sorry.
I saw lots of people defending Goudy, at the time.
Bit my toungue as people praised Jordan, too.
But sorry, I ain’t buying it on Gaetz, not for a second.
Falling for him is like all those that left Fox after the 2020 election (I had left it years earlier) amd then praised Newsmax.
I watvhed 3 shows on Newsmax, and uninstalled the app, seeing it was Faux 2.0.
Gaetz is controlled opposition for the controlled opposition.
Your being ric-rolled, don’t fall for it. Might as well say “Well, I dunno this DeSantis guy, he seems o.k. to me!”
Chris Wray has such a punchable face. Just saying! You can tell he is lying.
I say that every time I see it
He’s definitely a master obfuscator.
