WASHINGTON — House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said Tuesday he will lead an effort to hold FBI Director Christopher Wray in contempt of Congress if he refuses to share an informant file accusing President Biden of being part of a $5 million bribery scheme while he was vice president.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) gave Wray until Tuesday to comply with a subpoena for the tipoff — warning that his continued refusal would begin the contempt process.
“Let me tell Director Christopher Wray right here, right now: If he misses the deadline today, I’m prepared to move contempt charges in Congress against him,” McCarthy (R-Calif.) said on “Fox & Friends.”
“I personally called Director Wray and told him he needs to send that document. Today is the deadline,” the House speaker said.

[[McCarthy threatens Wray]]
Bahahaahha- oh that’s a knee slapper fer sure!
McCarthy’s tough talk starts conveniently after Wray’s FIBBERS are fully funded in the new spending bill.
Defelcting from Kevin’s budget negotiation “win”.
They think we are so stupid.
“I am sure Wray is so scared....”
LOL, very true. BUT they do have a prison in the House - would be nice to let Wray have some ‘cooling off’ time to think about how far he wants to take this.
the deep state looks at people like McCarthy as petulant children
It's not that he's a moron who gave away his only leverage. He's complicit. This is all part and parcel of the strut and squawk routine that the Washington Generals Party has perfected over the last thirty years.
warning that his continued refusal would begin the contempt process
*************
Wray could care less. Empty Republican threats are a complete farce.
Until Wray opens up the file on McCarthy and shows him all the dirt they have on him...
J. Edgar taught them well..................
Or what, Kev?
Gonna send a sternly worded letter if he doesn’t??
Maybe a strongly worded letter?
Maybe a strong stern letter?
MAGA populists endorsed McCarthy. Trump, MTG, etc. This is what they wanted, obviously.
Didn’t they criminal charges against Steve Bannon for contempt, for failing to comply with a subpoena? Obviously, the DoJ will not charge Wray, but it shows how some people are definitely above the law.
Another act in the Beer and Circus Show
Pretty sure Comer has a copy or a screen shot of the doc already
Will be interesting to see if Trump calls his endorsed guy McCarthy off of his appointed guy Wray.
Just the threat alone is sending waves of fear through Wray.
“the strut and squawk routine”

Spot on post. Sadly the gullible Republican base usually falls for it.
I'm waiting for McCarty to tell us about the time he beat up Cornpop.
Exactly, Ryan’s butt buddy sends out this BS tough talk the day after he gives the rats in the FIB everything they asked for F him.
