this post in 2017. he is also a registered republican. but that did not matter to the gop members who used today s hearing to go after him personally. when the court says the fbi misled, but it s a nice way of saying they lied. the american people fully understand that there is a two tiered justice system. that has been weaponized to persecute people based on their political beliefs. and that you have personally been worked to weaponize the fbi against conservatives. i would disagree with your characterization of the fbi. and certainly your description of my own approach. the idea that i m biased against conservatives seems somewhat insane to me given my own personal background. your job is to review what they do, your job is to protect the american people from tyrannical fbi, storming the home of an american family. i could not disagree more with your description of the fbi s tyrannical. you seem deeply and curious about, it don t you? almost suspiciously i m c
report on inflation was better than ever expected, prices rose just 3% in june, which is the lowest increase we have seen since march of 2021. there is so uncertainty out there about what this means long term, we are gonna hash all of that out later in the hour. but inflation was not at the top of the agenda for some lawmakers on capitol hill today. the republican-led house judiciary committee spent about six long hours questioning fbi director chris wray. the house gop along with former president trump had been hammering ray and the bureau for months. the attacks of course have intensified and made the trump classified documents case and after hunter biden took a plea deal. keep in mind that christopher wray is not a democrat he is not a joe biden crony, he was appointed by donald trump to this post into thousand and 17. he is also a registered republican. but that did not matter to the gop members who used today s hearing to go after him personally. in the court, they say
federal judge in louisiana. here s his exchange with republican congressman mike johnson on wednesday. the fbi made the social media platforms pull that information off the internet if it came from conservative sources. they did this under the guise that it was disinformation. can you, can you define what disinformation is? our focus is on malign, foreign disinformation; that is, foreign hostile actors who engage in mr. wray to use our social media platforms i have to stop you for time. that s not accurate. you need to read this court opinion, because you re in charge of enforcing it. paul: joining the panel, columnists dan henninger, kim strassel and bill mcgurn. so, bill, first, let s start with that exchange on disinformation. what do you make of the fbi director s answers? i think he answered very weakly. he came across as a man who either hadn t read the material as congressman johnson suggested, or he just didn t take the whole oversight process very
investigations related to mrs. clinton, as you noted, that happened under my predecessor and i recognize that. second, as to your descriptions of the investigations related to hunter biden, as you know, there s an ongoing investigation being led by the delaware u.s. attorney appointed by president trump and we re working on that investigation with him. we look forward to seeing the results quickly and swiftly. third and finally, to your point about the american people and their views, i worry less about nbc polls or polls by any other news outlet. i will tell you that the number of people in texas applying to work for us since i ve been in this job has gone up 93%. in fact i heard this response earlier. in fact that s great. we have more applicants from the state of texas in the last several years than any other state that makes sense. texas is the great estate in the country. director, any agents that served on the cross fire investigation or the
