FBI Director Dodges When Asked if Hunter Biden Laptop Story Is Disinformation (crimes still not mentioned)
National Review ^ | 3/09/23 | Brittany Bernstein

FBI director Chris Wray dodged a question about whether the Hunter Biden laptop story is “disinformation” during a House Intelligence Committee hearing on Thursday.

“There is an ongoing investigation that is relevant to that. So I have to be careful of what I can share on that here,” Wray said when asked whether the laptop story was disinformation by Representative Elise Stefanik (R., N.Y.)

Stefanik pressed again, and Wray replied: “I don’t think there’s anything I can share on that in open setting.”

While much of the mainstream media and a group of more than 50 former senior intelligence officials dismissed the laptop story as Russian disinformation when it first emerged in October 2020, the validity of the laptop has now been confirmed by several news outlets, including the New York Times and the Washington Post. CBS News reported in November 2022 that it had conducted an independent review of Biden’s laptop that showed “no evidence” that the laptop hard drive “was faked or tampered with.”

After analyzing the hard drive, digital forensic investigator Mark Lanterman told CBS News that a voicemail from President Biden in which he tells Hunter he has to “get some help” with his drug problem helps confirm its authenticity.

“Just the sheer volume of what we’re dealing with, it would be difficult if not impossible to fabricate,” another analyst told CBS News.

On Thursday, Stefanik asked Wray if he was aware the bureau had been in possession of the laptop since December 2019.

“I can’t speak to exactly when we had the laptop available,” Wray said. “As you know, there is an ongoing investigation...

Just keep him on the hot seat for the next two years if he won’t resign or cough up the truth.

The truth is that he’s been a witting conspirator in a government plot to overthrow and undermine the Presidency just like his rotten predecessors and their henchmen like Mark Felt.

The SOBs get into power and then act like they own the damn government.

Didn’t The Fey Wray have a taxpayer funded, private plane to catch for his vacation?

"The truth is that he’s been a witting conspirator in a government plot ..."

I would characterize it as Deep State/Democrat Party/Extreme
Leftist/Communist plot to overthrow a duly elected President.

I don’t think there’s anything I can share on that in open setting.

"Mr. Chairman, I request we adjourn and continue to take this witnesses' testimony in a closed session."

Defund the FBI and put these bastards in the unemployment line. Just who in the hell does Wray think he is? Who pays his salary, benefits and pension? We do and we elect people to represent us to get answers from OUR employees. Anyone in government that doesn’t understand that should be immediately fired.

“There is an ongoing investigation that is relevant to that. So I have to be careful of what I can share on that here,”

The proper response to that is to say: “That’s fine, Mr. Wray. We can have the Sergeant-At-Arms take you into custody for Contempt of Congress and we can hold you until that investigation is complete and you are ready to answer our questions.”

I bet they will charge Hunter….to change the subject for the sake of democrats…
Then Biden will pardon him…and they will go after Trump again. Anyone who brings up J6 will be told old news.
