Wray was answering a general question, but that’s not how our enemies are portraying it. Sorry for the Caps.

THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN. THANK YOU VERY MUCH DIRECTOR WRAY FOR BEING HERE THIS MORNING. I’D LIKE TO FOLLOW-UP ON SENATOR MORAN’S QUESTION ABOUT THE HEARING WITH ATTORNEY GENERAL BAR. I WAS VERY CONCERNED BY HIS USE OF THE WORD SPYING, WHICH I THINK IS A LOADED WORD. IT CONJURES A CRIMINAL CONNOTATION. I WANT TO ASK YOU — I’D APPRECIATE A YES OR NO ANSWER IF POSSIBLE. WHEN FBI AGENTS CONDUCT INVESTIGATIONS AGAINST ALLEGED MOBSTERS, SUSPECTED TERRORISTS, OTHER CRIMINALS, DO YOU BELIEVE THEY’RE ENGAGING IN SPYING WHEN THEY’RE FOLLOWING FBI INVESTIGATIVE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES?

THAT’S NOT THE TERM I WOULD USE.

Why are the Rat Congressits and rabid their Mediots so upset with AG Barr using the words ‘spying on!”

**************

Because ‘spying’ is a simple term that’s easy for everyone to understand. Clarity scares the Democrats and the Deep State and prevents them from spinning the problem into something conveniently incomprehensible.

Then he is a criminal conspirator, like the last several Directors of the FBI.

Wray can play all the semantic games he wants. The bottom line is that he has declared his job is to re-educate his boss about how the honest FBI has been operating.

Wray is a PR flak for the corrupt FBI. He has exposed himself time and again. He is not to be trusted

Funny, “by the book” is the same phrase Obama supposedly used in that Oval Office meeting in 2017. Remember that memo by what’s her name?

Yep. This is the political equivalent of arguing over the meaning of the word, “is”. i.e. the one making the argument loses.
