Pressed over his claims that even the fmr F.B.I. director #ChrisWray should be prosecuted, #KashPatel says he “will not go backwards. There will be no politicization at the FBI. There will be no retributive actions taken by any FBI should I be confirmed as FBI director.”
The chairman of the #Senate #Judiciary Cmte, #ChuckGrassley of Iowa, began #KashPatel’s hearing by defending Patel from critics who have called him unqualified. Grassley also accused fmr #FBI director #ChrisWray of mismanaging the agency. The FBI is “in crisis,” & “infected by political decision-making,” the #Republican lawmaker said in his opening remarks.
@Strandjunker Just posted abt this today--almost like they really don't want to know, do they? #ChrisWray is a Federalist Society schill who ignored Jan 6 warnings, ignored U.S. gymnasts complaints of sexual abuse, didn't pursue leads fro HUNDREDS of calls w/ knowledge of Kavanaugh sexual abuses (at least 3) & shut down investigations into Epstein's death & somehow "lost" all evidence recovered from Epsteins NY mansion. I know Joe wanted some continuity but he shld nvr hv kept Wray.

FBI Director Chris Wray warns there are still too many Russian spies in U.S. https://politicaliq.com/2023/09/08/fbi-director-wray-warns-still-too-many-russian-spies-in-u-s/ #ChrisWray #FBI #Russia #Russians #RussianSpies #UkraineRussianWar #Counterintelligence #politicaliq #news #politics
…#Lieu asked #Wray about #RogerStone, #ElliottBroidy, #MichaelCohen, #PaulManafort, #RickGates, & #GeorgePapadopoulos, all of whom were found #guilty of various #crimes in federal court.
Lieu pointed out that all of the advisers were prosecuted by Trump appointees: #BillBarr, #MatthewWhitaker, & #JeffSessions. Wray, who was already leading the #FBI at the time, is also a #TrumpAppointee.
Best quote from today’s hearing:
“It’s not the fault of the #FBI that #Trump surrounded himself with criminals.”
- Rep Ted Lieu

#FBI director #ChrisWray deposed under oath this week by lawyers for former FBI agent Peter Strzok & former FBI lawyer Lisa Page, who are separately suing the federal govt over their departures from the FBI, which came after months of public ridicule by #Trump and his allies.
The closed-door deposition on Tuesday, confirmed by two people familiar with the matter, 
could pave the way for the sworn deposition of Trump himself in the coming weeks.

@GottaLaff #ChrisWray shld never hv been kept at FBI Dir.. for failure to invest. BK alone. Add to that the failure to listen to U.S. Women's Gymnastics victims...I don't like to criticize Biden.. I know he wanted to work with the other side and be the opposite of Trump but Wray has had too many failures when it comes to holding privileged men accountable...esp his fellow Federalist Society "pals."
Biden can't fire Wray now that's he's under investigation, too. How convenient for Leonard Leo.
