‘It Should Be A No!’: Congressman Explodes After Wray Refuses Question On FBI, January 6
The Daily Wire ^ | November 15, 2022 | Tim Pearce

Posted on 11/16/2022 6:28:15 AM PST by Twotone

FBI Director Chris Wray refused to say Tuesday whether FBI sources had dressed as Trump supporters and entered the U.S. Capitol ahead of protesters on January 6, 2021.

Wray testified in front of the House Homeland Security Committee alongside Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and National Counterterrorism Center Director Christine Abizaid. During the hearing, Louisiana Rep. Clay Higgins (R) questioned Wray on the extent of the FBI’s involvement in the January 6 riot.

“Did the FBI have confidential human sources embedded within the January 6 protesters on January 6 2021?” the Louisiana congressman asked. Confidential human sources are not FBI agents; they are typically insiders in a group or well-connected individuals who have agreed to feed information to the FBI through handlers.

The FBI director said he has to be “very careful” about “when we do and do not and where we have and have not used confidential human sources.”

“To the extent that there’s a suggestion for example that the FBI’s confidential human sources or FBI employees in some way instigated or orchestrated Jan 6, that’s categorically false,” Wray said.

Higgins pressed Wray on if any FBI confidential human sources were dressed as supporters of former President Donald Trump and positioned in the U.S. Capitol “prior to the doors being open[ed].”

Wray began his response reiterating his previous answer when Higgins exploded: “It should be a no! Can you not tell the American people, no, we did not have confidential human sources dressed as Trump supporters positioned inside the Capitol on January 6?”

Wray responded as Higgins time for questioning expired, saying, “You should not read anything into my decision to not to share information related to confidential human sources.”

He put way too much trust in people like Christie and others in the swamp.

I would have ended the conversation like this: Director Wray, January is coming and we will sit here until hell freezes over waiting for your yes or no answer.

Let’s take stock
Pelosi and her crew are taking videos, already in the know
The Obamanite antifa were there for the ramp up
The FBI had a crew in there as collaborative agents egging it on
Aside from the stage hands, there were but a handful of bona-fide agitators.

This was not a instantaneous event, but staged mainly for entrapment... A political game targeting one man.

This was BRILLIANT!

Higgins asked Wray if there were FIB agents dressed in Trump gear on Jan. 6 at the Crapitol and Wray says he can't answer such questions when all he had to say was "No" but he DIDN'T which means there WERE FIB AGENTS POSING AS TRUMP SUPPORTERS IN THE CROWD.

FIB'S army, Antifa, were the FIB agents in the crowd dressed as Trump supporters. FIB and ANTIFA are interchangeable terms.

Despite his so-called bad appointments look at what he achieved. Trump did more in one day of his presidency then many Freepers do in a lifetime.

Look at what Trump accomplished:

Gas price per gallon was about $2.30;
Inflation about 1.4%, mortgage rates were half of what they are now;
Unemployment was low before Covid and before Blue Governors shut everything
down and we were in the midst of a V-shape recovery until January 22, 2021;
Tax decrease; tax laws promoted small businesses as well as large;
US enjoyed energy independence - No Green Agenda, no war on energy, No Paris Treaty;
No war in Ukraine, no threat of nuclear war, NATO paid its way;
Little Rocket Man stopped playing with his toys;
China was quiet and we were winning the trade war;
Last 18 mos. In Afghanistan, not one Trooper was lost and the Taliban behaved;
ISIS was defeated.
US companies were bringing home the jobs due to well executed tax treatments;
Peace in the Middle East aka Abraham Accords; US Embassy moved to Jerusalem; and Iran was isolated.
Got three non-left “I don't know what a woman is” Supreme Court Justices on the bench allowing Roe vs Wade to be overturned.

Who the heck can accomplish the above in four years while being impeached twice and investigated by Obama's Weaponized Agencies?

Until they cut these agencies budgets these agencies will ignore the congresses demands for anything. They have the power of the purse and gave it up, now the bureaucrats treat them with contempt.

Soon it will be time for 'the House' to tale a look at what the FBI's been up to.

Who nominated this deep state, anti-American fascist?

At what point in the interview do you think Wray exposed himself to be an ant-American fascist? Try not to trip over your TDS as you squirm for an answer.

Wray failed to go after Antifa and BLM while they were rioting, looting, and burning.

Wray sat by idly as the Hunter Biden Laptop was called a hoax. He never released the contents of the laptop.

Wray did not arrest any protesters in front of conservative justices homes.

Wray had his agents create the fake kidnapping attempt upon Whitmer

Wray had his agents confiscate phones and other electronic devices from Giuliani and other conservatives.

Wray refused to investigate and arrest those who have attacked pro life birthing centers.

Who embraced and nominated Wray?

See, this was your question. I figured you would trip all over your TDS in some attempt to not answer mine. You didn't fail.

Don't let your man lust for Trump cloud your judgment.

Trump nominated Wray, the deep state anti-American fascist.

Anything but a simple answer to a question. No doubt you knew Wray was a anti-American fascist as soon as you laid eyes on him. No doubt that you’re smarter than President Trump. gagamaggot
