There was a Senate Homeland Security, Government Affairs Committee hearing today where one of the responding executive branch officials was FBI Director Wray. Toward the end of the hearing, long after the rest of the members had left the hearing, Chairman Johnson took the opportunity to ask Director Wray some very specific and pointed questions about the current issues within the FBI as an institutional office.
Few people remember, fewer even know, that was Ron Johnson’s committee effort that brought out the Lisa Page and Peter Strzok text messages. Lots of other committees began exploring DOJ and FBI misconduct, but it was Johnson who started the sunlight back in July and August of 2017. That’s the baseline to begin to appreciate this questioning.
The exchange between Chairman Johnson and Director Wray begins around 02:15:00 of the video (nearly two and a half hours into the hearing). Likely few will have watched this because, just like actually reading the 600 pages of Page/Strzok text messages, it takes granular exploration to understand what is happening.
Chairman Johnson starts asking specific questions about the lack of response from officials underneath Director Wray. As CTH outlined in the June 2018 FBI press conference on the IG report, Wray transparently has no clue (intentionally so) what is going on within his institutional apparatus.
Wray doesn’t know who has responded to oversight requests; what oversight requests have been made; what documents exist; what documents are being hidden; what documents the FBI possesses; and the current status of the FBI to produce documents for oversight.
This level of disconnection is critical to see and watch first-hand.
It is critical to see because this reality speaks directly to the corrupt internal officials who are underneath Wray and manipulating the executive suites of the cabinet.

Why all of this?
CYA?
Investigation = Distraction
How wide is the conspiracy?
Not all the answers but reveals a lot of the puzzles.

The DOJ and FBI are running out the clock until the election, after which they hope Dems will be back in control of the House. Then it will be right back to business as usual.
By allowing Rosenstein and company to delay, diffuse, deflect and defy we can be pretty sure that the subversion will continue well into the future.
We may have lost a golden opportunity to fumigate these corrupt agencies and fix the problem. And, on top of that, Trump sent the FISA docs off to Horowitz who will surely bury them. There is no way he will release them before the election.
You may find this interesting....
So apparently when the FBI isn't trying to pick our President for us or trashing him once elected, they are whoring around.
I fear you are right.
I have known 3 people who’s father were FBI agents.
There are some excellent ones. Right now the holdover leadership from Obozo was/is totally corrupt. Problem is much bigger than just FBI.
Agree. Is reality.
Well, Looks like he came back. I did not recall his leaving, but am a long way from DC.
Yes, says a lot.
“Madison said, ‘men are not angels,’ that’s why we have the Constitution.”
excerpt Federalist 51: http://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/1404/pg1404.txt
If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary.
In framing a government which is to be administered by men over men, the great difficulty lies in this: you must first enable the government to control the governed; and in the next place oblige it to control itself. A dependence on the people is, no doubt, the primary control on the government; but experience has taught mankind the necessity of auxiliary precautions.
“The DOJ and FBI are running out the clock until the election, after which they hope Dems will be back in control of the House. Then it will be right back to business as usual.”
If we don’t get top to bottom reform at Federal law enforcement and DOJ, the public will rightfully lose any confidence in these agencies. It’s not just the 0bama hold-overs. The problem is a secretive, unaccountable, untouchable and out of touch bureaucratic State. The “rank and file” are not necessarily angels. Some of them are happy to expose the corruption so that they can move up the ladder. Things won’t change unless we get transparency, policies that mandate strict adherence to constitutional civil rights protections and accountability in the form of easier demotions and firings.
Jurors must seriously consider taking a beyond reasonable doubt in extremis standard in Federal criminal cases. Jury nullification. The Feds need to lose cases much more often; no more 95% conviction rate. The people need to send a message that they won’t take this crap. It almost happened in the Manafort case. It just takes one tough juror.
Christopher Wray will be celebrating his 52nd birthday tomorrow. His wife is the granddaughter of William Huse Dunham, of Chicago, who was a former history professor at Yale University.
