"I don't trust you."So said Rep Mike Garcia to FBI Director Christopher Wray. Garcia accused Wray of standing relatively silent and passive about "the biggest national security threat" to the U.S. – referring to the southern border — and refused to give "little credence" in the director’s ability to do his job or lead the "brave agents" below him. "I don’t trust you to protect us," Garcia said. "I think because of your inability to lead and also shape the policies and the DOJ and at the White House, we are now in a more precarious position than we were,...

A new report just released by the House Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government has offered shocking new insights into the full extent of the FBI’s efforts to use government power and resources to target, intimidate, and harass Catholics, pro-life activists, and other members of the religious community. The December 4 report found, among other disturbing revelations, that the FBI “abused its counterterrorism tools to target Catholic Americans as potential domestic terrorists” when agency operatives in Richmond, Virginia, circulated a memo designating so-called “radical-traditionalist Catholic[s]” as potential “racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists.” “The Committee and Select Subcommittee...

Wray opting for misdirection instead of transparency suggests he knows precisely what the FBI did in response to evidence implicating the Bidens in a bribery scandal: nothing.. FBI Director Christopher Wray alleged on Tuesday that he did not learn of the confidential human source’s (CHS) claim that the Ukrainian energy giant Burisma had bribed the Bidens until “much, much, much more recently than anything around 2020.” Wray’s testimony cannot be squared with earlier testimony from whistleblowers and the Pittsburgh U.S. attorney — unless those investigating Hunter Biden buried the CHS’s reporting. On Tuesday, Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, drilled the FBI...

Atrio of congressional committees on Tuesday released a new report asserting that Hunter Biden received special treatment from his father's Justice Department. The 77-page interim report, released by the House's Judiciary, Ways and Means, and Oversight and Accountability committees is the "third prong" of House Republicans' impeachment inquiry into President Biden. The inquiry focuses on "the Biden Justice Department’s purported commitment to impartial justice," according to the report. The congressional investigators made three conclusions that they say are born from documents and 10 witness interviews: The Justice Department and FBI officials gave special treatment to Hunter Biden U.S. Attorney David...

Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Christopher Wray told Congressional lawmakers on Wednesday evening that federal law enforcement officials have opened various investigations into individuals “affiliated” with Hamas in the wake of the Palestinian terror organization’s unprecedented attack on Israel last month. However, Wray noted that the bureau has not seen evidence of any specific threat it considers credible. Wray, speaking before the House Homeland Security Committee, said the FBI is focused on “homegrown violent extremists” that are sympathetic to terror organizations akin to Hamas, along with “domestic violent extremists targeting Jewish Americans or other faith communities.”

Republican Rep. Clay Higgins (R-LA) attempted to question FBI Director Christopher Wray about two vehicles he described as “ghost buses” that arrived in the early hours of Jan. 6, 2021, in D.C. On Wednesday, Higgins asked Wray about unmarked “ghost busses” allegedly at the Capitol on J6 that were being used to transport agents. However, Democrat Glenn Ivey (D-MD) interrupted, demanding Wray’s microphone to be cut off so that Wray did not have to answer the question. “This has run over the time,” Ivey claimed. Higgins wrapped up his questioning with a final warning to the FBI director: “Your day...

FBI Director Christopher Wray told agency staffers that he was concerned about “a potential conflict of interest” involving the selection of the bureau’s new headquarters in Maryland, according to an email obtained by NBC News. On Thursday, the General Services Administration confirmed that the FBI’s new home would be in Greenbelt, about 13 miles northeast of Washington, seeming to bring to an end a drawn-out and politically fraught site selection process. Two other finalists were Springfield, Virginia, and Landover, Maryland. In his unusually pointed letter to staffers, Wray said the FBI has “concerns about fairness and transparency in the process...

A “radical” Jordanian national living in Texas was allegedly plotting an attack on Houston’s Jewish community before he was arrested on gun charges. Sohaib Abuayyash, 20, had been studying how to build bombs and posted about his support for killing Jews, federal officials claim. “He has viewed specific and detailed content posted by radical organizations on the internet, including lessons on how to construct bombs or explosive devices,” FBI Director Chris Wray told the Senate Homeland Security Committee, though he declined to identify Abuayyash by name. “And that defendant has made statements to others that support the killing of individuals...

At today's Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing, Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) grilled DHS Sec. Alejandro Mayorkas about illegal immigrants with ties to Hamas, and multiple other border-related issues.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) obtained private communications and other personal records of multiple Republican House and Senate staffers who were investigating the department’s role in the origins of the Russia collusion hoax, according to former senior Trump administration official Kash Patel. A recently-revealed subpoena shows that the DOJ sought the records for not only Patel when he was an investigator for then-Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA), but also those of Jason Foster, who was at the time chief investigative counsel to then-Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (I-IA) and was also looking into the DOJ’s role in the hoax.

FBI Director Christopher Wray went silent Tuesday when questioned over whether the country was safer since President Biden took office. "Is the United States safer from foreign terror threats today? Are we safer than when Joe Biden took office — from the day he took office?" Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., asked Wray during a Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing. Wray took an extended pause, sitting silently and appearing to be in deep thought before finally answering. "What I would say to you is that the terror threats have elevated. But I also think there are a lot of things the...

In an appearance Tuesday morning on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Republican presidential candidate Chris Christie said the news that Mark Meadows, Donald Trump’s former White House chief of staff, had been granted immunity for grand jury testimony is a “deadly” development for Trump. “You don’t give Mark Meadows immunity unless the evidence he has is unimpeachable,” Christie said. “I want all Republican voters to understand this. What’s going to be happening in March? He’s going to be sitting in a courtroom in Washington, D.C., with Mark Meadows 20 feet away from him saying he committed crimes in front of me on...

More than 40 FBI confidential human sources (CHS) have snooped on Joe Biden and his family over the years on various criminal matters related to their influence-peddling schemes, according to information obtained by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa). The confidential human sources have “provided criminal information to the FBI relating to Joe Biden, James Biden, and Hunter Biden” dating back to Joe’s time as vice president, Fox News reported. Those confidential human sources were reportedly managed by multiple FBI field offices across the nation. Their investigations were eventually thwarted by a FBI task force within the Washington Field Office, which falsely...

Attorney General Merrick Garland insists he doesn't know "if or how many federal agents or paid informants may have participated in the January 6, 2021 insurrection at the Capitol. Information like that is not considered necessary for me to know." FBI Director Christopher Wray says "the decisions on how many agents and paid informants might be employed and what their specific duties might be are on a 'need to know basis.' I can see no reason why Congressman Jordan (R-Ohio) or any of his colleagues would have a need to know. On a matter of national security like this it...
