*_CHRISTOPHER WRAY SHOULD PACK HIS BAGS HE WILL BE OUT SHORTLY!!!!_*

[HenryOManly]

He thinks Trump got stung by a bumblebee or something. No point in asking him anything.

[paulharrold]

If DEI is the metric you hire by, standards have to go down because you narrow the pool of applicants .

[brendahogan]

Oh my, Wray acts like a little cry baby when he isn’t allowed to take his time & LIE! Poor thing it must be past his bedtime, 😂

[The_Rob_D]

Applications to be a special agent have gone up because standards have gone down. Imagine that.

[webcrawlerfan]

This guy is a career liar and needs to be removed...

[TedLeighton]

I don't believe the fbi is any more competent than a group of barney files at a donut convension

[MrFox]

Hamper it? They did exactly what they wanted. Blaming DEI is a distraction.

[kennethfarthing]

Wray wouldn’t know the truth, if it jumped in the shower with him

[McKinneyLiz]

No one with any intelligence can say that the women "protecting" Trump was even minimally effective.

[yougotagreatdeal]

Wray can't answer any questions with certainty or provide any useful information. However, when asked if He knows anything regarding the possibility of members of the FBI, might be involved with the planning or cover up of the assassination attempt, he all of a sudden says emphatically no. That doesn't make sense! How can he be so sure? You would expect him to say, that is highly doubtful, but considering the complete debacle and failure of the SS and the several previous corruption cases involving the FBI, its worth taking a look at.
No the liar doesn't offer that!

Wray went to a private boarding school and then on to Yale law following in his father's footsteps. He has no FBI experience, however, he is adept at speaking in circles and not answering straight forward questions. Wray worked for King & Spalding LLP, a multinational corporate law firm, with clients like Russian energy giants Gazprom and Rosneft. He is more comfortable dealing with mergers and acquisitions than law enforcement. Perhaps his political ambitions outweigh his sense of what is right and wrong.

[sgeine]

This lawmaker is garbage at coming up with questions

[robertp-dq]

SOUNDS like it all back talk still.. Sounds so deeply guilty of a cover of...

[LarryHeiges]

Put into the position by the former president

[DannyKuso]

This guy lie too much, need to be replaced

[jameskelley]

Wray needs to be investigated for possible complicity in light of his involvement on January 6., the spying on parents, the Whitmore scam, etc. He does not work for the citizens of this country.

[tylermonster]

Why not hire a bunch of DEI lower standard brain surgeons so the ones who believe in them can get some work done.
    Hire qualified PEOPLE regardless of any other factor.
    Please pass this message on to others the more who know the more our freedom grows.

[geraldcoffey]

His responses are the same regardless of whatever investigation takes place. No comment while we are investigating and it should be completed by 2064

[beelikemizu]

Nothing wrong with diversity… forced diversity in hiring is discriminatory by nature.
