FBI Director Kash Patel turned over agency documents on Monday to Congress about an alleged Chinese plot to use fake drivers licenses for securing fraudulent mail-in ballots during the 2020 election.
Perhaps even more shockingly, or maybe not so shockingly, that same report had been submitted to American intelligence agencies back in August 2020, before it was “suddenly recalled with little explanation,”...
Patel informed the public on Monday about the alleged plot and announced that he turned over the documents to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, a Republican from Iowa.
The FBI has located documents which detail alarming allegations related to the 2020 U.S. election, including allegations of interference by the CCP,” Patel wrote
...
the documents involved “allegations of plans from the CCP to manufacture fake driver’s licenses and ship them into the United States for the purpose of facilitating fraudulent mail-in ballots.”
...
The decision from the FBI, which was run by Christopher Wray (decent, if boring, stand in for the Cancer Man) at the time, prevented the FBI and other agencies from investigating the claims.
...
The failure to investigate also came as U.S. Customs and Border Protection captured a shocking 19,888 of the drivers licenses, most of which were from Hong Kong and China.
...
Chinese communists sincerely tried to tip the scales of our elections, and the Wray FBI actively covered for them.
Whether it was incompetence or malevolence, the American people need answers on this, and hopefully under Patel, they will finally get those answers.

That’s a crime. A big crime.
Is Patel waiting for permission to arrest somebody? Anybody?
After five months, it is high time he pulled the trigger on someone, anyone. It has to be a target-rich environment out there.
And he’ll never be charged for it.
That pretty well proves Wray was an accomplice in overthrowing the election. Lock him up.
Where are the arrest and indictments?
It’s obvious corruption, but is it a crime?
Is “abuse of office” or something like that a crime?
And that little prick was appointed by Trump. So I guess a terse letter will coming to the little traitor.
What potential crime would have been committed by Chris Wray, if, hypothetically, Chris Wray knew the Chinese attempted to sway the 2000 election by creating fraudulent voters, the Chinese created 20,000 fake USA driver’s licenses using data and photos from TikTok, and 19,000 of these licenses were intercepted by customs and when a memo came out for the government to investigate, Mr. Wray instructed all recipients to destroy the memo and not investigate or charge anyone with a crime and Mr. Wray did so in order to sway the 2000 election in favor of Joe Biden?
Hypothetical Scenario Analysis
In the described hypothetical scenario, if Chris Wray, as FBI Director, knowingly engaged in the actions outlined, several potential crimes under U.S. law could be implicated. Below is an analysis of the potential crimes based on the provided details, assuming all actions are proven to have occurred with the requisite intent and knowledge:
1. Obstruction of Justice (18 U.S.C. § 1505 or § 1519)
Elements of the Crime:
18 U.S.C. § 1505: Obstructing or impeding a pending federal investigation or proceeding before a department or agency of the United States, with intent to influence, obstruct, or impede the due administration of justice.
18 U.S.C. § 1519: Knowingly destroying, concealing, or falsifying any record, document, or tangible object with the intent to impede, obstruct, or influence an investigation or proper administration of any matter within the jurisdiction of any department or agency of the United States.
Application:
Instructing recipients to destroy a memo directing an investigation into fraudulent voter activity (e.g., fake driver’s licenses used to sway the 2000 election) could constitute destroying or concealing a document with intent to obstruct a federal investigation.
If Wray’s actions were intended to prevent the investigation of a federal crime (e.g., election fraud or foreign interference), this would meet the criteria for obstruction.
Penalty: Up to 7 years imprisonment per count under § 1519; up to 5 years under § 1505.
2. Misprision of Felony (18 U.S.C. § 4)
Elements of the Crime:
Having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony cognizable by a court of the United States.
Failing to report or disclose the felony to an appropriate authority (e.g., a judge, law enforcement).
Taking an affirmative act to conceal the crime.
Application:
If Wray had actual knowledge of Chinese attempts to sway the 2000 election through fraudulent voter registration using fake driver’s licenses (a potential felony, see below), and he instructed others to destroy evidence and not investigate, this would constitute an affirmative act to conceal the crime.
His failure to report the felony to appropriate authorities, combined with active concealment, would implicate misprision.
Penalty: Up to 3 years imprisonment.
3. Conspiracy to Defraud the United States (18 U.S.C. § 371)
Elements of the Crime:
An agreement between two or more persons to defraud the United States or to commit an offense against the United States.
An overt act in furtherance of the conspiracy.
Intent to defraud or commit the offense.
Application:
If Wray agreed with others (e.g., subordinates or co-conspirators) to suppress the investigation into Chinese election interference to sway the election in favor of Joe Biden, this could constitute a conspiracy to defraud the United States by interfering with the lawful administration of a federal election.
The overt act could include instructing the destruction of the memo or directing others not to investigate.
The intent to sway the election aligns with defrauding the U.S. government’s electoral process.
Penalty: Up to 5 years imprisonment.
4. Violation of Federal Election Laws (52 U.S.C. § 30121 and 18 U.S.C. § 1343)
Elements of the Crime:
52 U.S.C. § 30121: Prohibits foreign nationals from making contributions or expenditures to influence U.S. elections and prohibits U.S. persons from knowingly aiding or abetting such activities.
18 U.S.C. § 1343: Wire fraud, which involves a scheme to defraud using interstate wire communications (e.g., emails or phone calls) with intent to defraud.
Application:
If Wray knowingly allowed or facilitated Chinese efforts to influence the 2000 election (e.g., by suppressing investigation of fraudulent voter registrations), he could be seen as aiding or abetting a violation of federal election laws.
If communications (e.g., emails instructing destruction of the memo) occurred over interstate wires, this could also implicate wire fraud, as suppressing the investigation could be part of a scheme to defraud the U.S. electoral process.
Penalty: Up to 7 years for wire fraud; civil and criminal penalties under election laws, including up to 5 years imprisonment for knowing and willful violations.
5. Dereliction of Duty or Abuse of Power
Elements:
While not a specific criminal statute, abuse of power by a federal official, particularly the FBI Director, could lead to charges under related statutes like 18 U.S.C. § 242 (deprivation of rights under color of law) if the actions deprived citizens of their constitutional right to a fair election.
Dereliction of duty as FBI Director could also trigger impeachment or removal proceedings, though this is administrative rather than criminal.
Application:
Suppressing an investigation into foreign election interference to favor a candidate could be construed as depriving citizens of their right to a free and fair election under color of law.
Wray’s actions would represent a severe abuse of his authority as FBI Director, potentially implicating civil rights violations.
Penalty: Up to 7 years imprisonment under § 242 if deprivation of rights is willful.
6. Potential Underlying Crimes Wray Concealed
Wray’s actions to suppress investigation could also make him complicit in the underlying crimes he failed to address, such as:
Voter Fraud (52 U.S.C. § 20511): Willful submission of false voter registrations or votes, punishable by up to 5 years imprisonment.
Identity Theft (18 U.S.C. § 1028): Use of fake driver’s licenses to impersonate U.S. citizens for voter registration, punishable by up to 7 years.
Foreign Interference in Elections (18 U.S.C. § 2381 or 52 U.S.C. § 30121): If the Chinese actions constituted a broader attack on U.S. sovereignty, treason or aiding foreign interference could apply in extreme cases, though treason requires a high bar (e.g., levying war or adhering to enemies).
If Wray knowingly concealed these crimes to sway the election, he could be charged as an accessory after the fact (18 U.S.C. § 3, up to 7 years) or as a co-conspirator.
Key Considerations
Intent: Most of these crimes require proof of specific intent (e.g., Wray’s actions were deliberately to sway the election for Joe Biden). Without evidence of intent, some charges (e.g., conspiracy, obstruction) may not hold.
Jurisdiction: The FBI Director has significant authority, but suppressing an investigation could exceed his lawful discretion, especially if it involves foreign interference.
Evidence: Prosecutors would need concrete evidence (e.g., communications, witness testimony) proving Wray’s knowledge and instructions to destroy the memo and suppress the investigation.
Historical Context: The scenario specifies the 2000 election, when Joe Biden was not a presidential candidate (Al Gore was the Democratic nominee). This may imply a hypothetical error in the year or candidate, but the legal analysis remains valid regardless of the candidate named.
Conclusion
If Chris Wray hypothetically engaged in the described actions with the intent to sway the 2000 election, he could face charges for:
Obstruction of justice (18 U.S.C. § 1519 or § 1505).
Misprision of felony (18 U.S.C. § 4).
Conspiracy to defraud the United States (18 U.S.C. § 371).
Violations of federal election laws (52 U.S.C. § 30121) or wire fraud (18 U.S.C. § 1343).
Potentially deprivation of rights under color of law (18 U.S.C. § 242).
Each charge would depend on evidence of intent, knowledge, and specific actions. Penalties could range from 3 to 7 years imprisonment per count, with multiple counts possible. Additionally, such actions would likely lead to removal from office and significant civil or administrative consequences.

Below is an analysis of the potential crimes based on the provided details, assuming all actions are proven to have occurred with the requisite intent and knowledge. This response corrects the year to 2020 (from the previous 2000) and aligns with Joe Biden as a candidate in that election.
1. Obstruction of Justice (18 U.S.C. § 1505 or § 1519)

His failure to report the felony to appropriate authorities, combined with active concealment, would implicate misprision.
Penalty: Up to 3 years imprisonment.
3. Conspiracy to Defraud the United States (18 U.S.C. § 371)
Elements of the Crime:
An agreement between two or more persons to defraud the United States or to commit an offense against the United States.

The overt act could include instructing the destruction of the memo or directing others not to investigate.
The intent to sway the election aligns with defrauding the U.S. government’s electoral process.
Penalty: Up to 5 years imprisonment.
4. Violation of Federal Election Laws (52 U.S.C. § 30121 and 18 U.S.C. § 1343)
Elements of the Crime:
52 U.S.C. § 30121: Prohibits foreign nationals from making contributions or expenditures to influence U.S. elections and prohibits U.S. persons from knowingly aiding or abetting such activities.
18 U.S.C. § 1343: Wire fraud, which involves a scheme to defraud using interstate wire communications (e.g., emails or phone calls) with intent to defraud.
Application:
If Wray knowingly facilitated or allowed Chinese efforts to influence the 2020 election by suppressing investigation of fraudulent voter registrations, he could be seen as aiding or abetting a violation of federal election laws.
If communications (e.g., emails instructing destruction of the memo) occurred over interstate wires, this could implicate wire fraud, as suppressing the investigation could be part of a scheme to defraud the U.S. electoral process.
Penalty: Up to 7 years for wire fraud; civil and criminal penalties under election laws, including up to 5 years imprisonment for knowing and willful violations.
5. Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law (18 U.S.C. § 242)
Elements of the Crime:
Willfully depriving a person of rights or privileges protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States.
Acting under color of law (e.g., using official authority as FBI Director).
Application:
Suppressing an investigation into foreign election interference to favor Joe Biden could be construed as willfully depriving U.S. citizens of their constitutional right to a free and fair election.
As FBI Director, Wray’s actions would be under color of law, making this statute applicable if his intent was to undermine electoral integrity.
Penalty: Up to 7 years imprisonment if the deprivation is willful; higher penalties if bodily injury or death results (not applicable here).
6. Potential Underlying Crimes Wray Concealed
Wray’s actions to suppress investigation could make him complicit in the underlying crimes he failed to address, such as:
Voter Fraud (52 U.S.C. § 20511): Willful submission of false voter registrations or votes, punishable by up to 5 years imprisonment.
Identity Theft (18 U.S.C. § 1028): Use of 20,000 fake driver’s licenses to impersonate U.S. citizens for voter registration, punishable by up to 7 years.
Foreign Interference in Elections (52 U.S.C. § 30121): Chinese creation of fake licenses to influence the election violates bans on foreign contributions, with penalties up to 5 years for willful violations.
Computer Fraud (18 U.S.C. § 1030): If TikTok data was obtained through unauthorized access or hacking, this could implicate computer fraud, with penalties up to 7 years.
If Wray knowingly concealed these crimes to sway the election, he could be charged as an accessory after the fact (18 U.S.C. § 3, up to 7 years) or as a co-conspirator.
Key Considerations
Intent: Most charges (e.g., obstruction, conspiracy, deprivation of rights) require proof of specific intent to sway the 2020 election in favor of Joe Biden. Without evidence of intent, some charges may not hold.
Evidence: Prosecutors would need concrete evidence (e.g., communications, witness testimony) proving Wray’s knowledge of the Chinese scheme, his instructions to destroy the memo, and his intent to suppress the investigation for electoral purposes.
Role as FBI Director: Wray’s position gives him significant authority, but suppressing an investigation into foreign interference exceeds lawful discretion and could be seen as an abuse of power.
Interception by Customs: The fact that 19,000 of 20,000 fake licenses were intercepted suggests the scheme may not have fully succeeded, but the attempt to influence the election and Wray’s alleged cover-up would still trigger liability.
TikTok Data: Use of TikTok data raises additional questions about data privacy violations, but the primary crimes here relate to election interference and Wray’s response.
Conclusion
If Chris Wray hypothetically engaged in the described actions with the intent to sway the 2020 election in favor of Joe Biden, he could face charges for:
Obstruction of justice (18 U.S.C. § 1519 or § 1505).
Misprision of felony (18 U.S.C. § 4).
Conspiracy to defraud the United States (18 U.S.C. § 371).
Violations of federal election laws (52 U.S.C. § 30121) or wire fraud (18 U.S.C. § 1343).
Deprivation of rights under color of law (18 U.S.C. § 242).
Penalties could range from 3 to 7 years imprisonment per count, with multiple counts possible. Additionally, such actions would likely lead to removal from office, impeachment proceedings (if applicable), and significant civil or administrative consequences.
Imma guess hiding chit is a crime. 😉
The persons Congress wants to talk to, is the Director of FBI Intelligence at that time, the director for analysis, and their intelligence production manager.
Those three people know how it happened, when it happened, and what actions they took. And it’s in their emails.
As a bonus, they can have all the analysts that built the product, to testify.
Y’all are probbaly not going to believe me, but reports get recalled all the time for legitimate reasons, and instructing recipients to destroy all copies of the original report is boilerplate language that goes along with a recall notification.
A lot of times, the report was issued to the wrong distribution list, recalled, and then issued to the correct distribution list. Like sending an email to the wrong addresses and then trying to recall the message later.
Call it what you want, but I want repercussions, retribution, and/or revenge.
We were right. We knew we were. They lied to us. All of them lied to the voters.
Here’s what the internet meme community has to say about Wray:
https://freerepublic.com/focus/news/4323553/posts?page=20#20
And the Beltway bureaucrats dug in that to disclose that would jeopardize national security, thus it needs to stay classified or erased from history.
I suppose drawing and quartering isn’t available as a punishment for the wretched Wray.
Multiple.
At least according to Elon’s computer. See post 11.
