The FBI “cannot disclose the cause of death” of U.S. Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick, after The New York Times and other news outlets either retracted or updated reports claiming he was killed by being hit with a fire extinguisher during the Capitol riots on Jan. 6.
FBI Director Christopher Wray responded to a question from Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) during a Senate hearing on Tuesday about whether the agency has determined Sicknick’s cause of death. Grassley noted “conflicting reports” about his cause of death and whether there is a homicide investigation.
“There is an ongoing investigation into his death,” Wray said, adding that “I certainly understand … and appreciate the keen interest in what happened to him.”
But despite Wray’s testimony, it’s still unclear whether the FBI does not know Sicknick’s cause of death or whether the agency simply will not disclose it.
Wray then stated that “the investigation is ongoing … that means we can’t disclose the cause of death.” When asked again by Grassley about whether the FBI knows his cause of death, Wray said, “I didn’t say that,” and again repeated that the FBI can’t disclose the cause of death.
Sicknick’s death was invoked a number of times by lawmakers in Congress during former President Donald Trump’s impeachment and trial as they tried to portray the riots as an insurrection that resulted in the loss of lives, repeating claims from The New York Times that Sicknick was beaten by a pro-Trump supporter during the riots. The New York Times later updated its story to say “new information has emerged regarding the death of the Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick that questions the initial cause of his death provided by officials close to the Capitol Police.”

We have to find a way to break through the media barriers or break the Ministry of Propaganda.
Due to it being an ongoing investigation we cannot comment on anything that does not push our narrative.
Exactly. The fact that he is still employed by the Biden administration proves it. Who the hell referred this guy to Trump? President Trump has a long memory.....
Correcto Mundo...
Any time one of the alphabet agencies finds that either their, or their handler's, nether regions are in the line of fire,
they get to play their 'trump card', i.e., "that is the subject of an ongoing investigation."
Just as you have observed, they will not say anything that might show themselves to be at fault,
lying bidens, or beholding to some criminal enterprise.
Yup.
Ever notice how they go batsnit insane over alternate media they don’t control?
And how bonkers they get when they fail to gain control over it?
They have parler now, they don’t have gab.
The only things Wray is any good at are:
1) Espousing the rhetoric of the ADL.
2) Using the SPLC as a FBI resource.
3) Aping DNC “talking points” before Congressional
Committees.
4) Chasing imaginary white supremacists around the nation. Urban voters believe this nonsense, so nobody in the media or FBI will tell these idiots to stop believing in conspiracy theories.They “play up” their fantasy world, instead of deconstructing it.
Gov. Chrispy Creme acted as headhunter for Wray.
Christopher Wray is a fraud. How can I tell? Because he always walks around with that s**t eating grin on his face. He is nothing more than a shorter version of James Comey.
Yeah, when I heard that on the radio this afternoon, I knew not to believe my lying eyes.
Wray is purer than the wind-driven snow. /s
More Wray garbage. Investigate FBI. LOL
I believe it was Chris Christie.
Why waste the money. Shut them down.
Magoo Wray and the “See Nussink” investigation.
Did anyone ask him why he sat on the exculpatory evidence of Hunter Biden’s laptop doing President Trump’s first Impeachment trial?
Hahahaha!
It will be under investigation until after proton decay is complete.
FBI is an evil illegal arm of USCCP. DC freak team. Nothing to do with law or order.
Can’t? or Won’t?
My guess would be the later.
Dr Laura used to say, “Can’t means won’t.”
That would be China Mitch I think.
