Grassley Levels Chris Wray With One Simple Fact After He Claims He Has a Flight to Catch

FBI Director Christopher Wray was on the hot seat Thursday before the Senate Judiciary Committee on a variety of issues. As I reported earlier, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) grilled him over the politicization of the FBI, including questions about normal patriotic symbols that they were categorizing as signs of “militia violent extremism.”
That made Wray look bad enough, as though he was ignorant about the problems in his own office and/or lying about them.
Then when he was asked about Russia collusion and the Hunter Biden laptop by Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), Wray managed to make it worse.
https://twitter.com/greg_price11/status/1555235020004102145Blackburn asked if Wray would agree that Russia collusion was a “hoax.” He said that he wouldn’t use the terminology. When asked if he agreed that the Hunter Biden laptop was not Russian disinformation, he said, “I can’t comment on that.” He claimed it was an “ongoing” investigation. He wouldn’t even admit they had the laptop.
The fact that the laptop is not Russian disinformation is not part of the investigation. It would be one thing if you were asking about the investigation into Hunter Biden. If you can’t even admit to certain basic truths, that shows how compromised he, and therefore the FBI, are at this point.
So, what exactly can he comment on? All he seems to know how to do is evade questions and turn the FBI into a completely politicized mess.
Then when the senators started to call him out on it, what was his response? Sorry, guys, I can’t stick around, I have to catch a plane. Yes, he seriously said that to Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA).
That astonished Grassley, who nailed him with a little reality, saying but you have “your own plane.”
