En Garde in the bunker…
“John Galt” from comments thread: 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.
Wray’s empty suit moniker of FBI … Alphabet agency’s undercover mess. FBI Wray absent phone calls Jan 6 Bill Barr the door!
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.
Fact of the matter is that 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. No republican will be able to win under these rules, but President Trump has the largest following. THAT!
John Nantz, FrontPageMag: ‘Wray’s Empty Suit’ …
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 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. [-]
[+] … 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. [end]
Wray’s empty suit moniker of FBI … all the way to the demoMarxocrat machine…
Mmmmm …. The FBI and its sleight-of-hand 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. 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. Wray’s empty suit moniker of FBI.
When an agency starts with a cross-dressing J. Edgar, who spent most of his time digging up dirt on vulnerable politicians, one becomes not exactly sure what we expected. 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. THAT!
And on that note time for today’s MAGA Pill – President Donald John Trump – MAGA! KAG!
