senate confirmed directors, and those directors all have a few things in common. they are all white men. they all favor a clean cut look, and each and every one of them, every senate confirmed director since the dawn of the fbi has been a republican. that includes current fbi director christopher wray, who was appointed by donald trump. but you would not get that impression, given the way director wray s fellow republicans attacked him in his agency during a hearing today on capitol hill. when the court says the fbi misled, that s a nice way of saying they lied. how many individuals were either fbi employees, or people that the fbi made contact with, we re in the january 6th entry of the capital? i m going to make the assumption that there is more than one, more than five, more than ten. i will say this notion that somehow the violence at the capitol ungenerous six was part of some operation orchestrate by fbi sources and their agents is ludicrous. your job s review w
was part of some operation orchestrated by fbi agents is ludicrous. your job is to review what they do. your job is to protect the american people from a tyrannical fbi storming the home of a american family. i could not agree more with your description of the fbi being tyrannical. you preside over the fbi that has the lowest level of trust in the fbi s history. people trusted the fbi more when j. ed gar hoover was running the place. respectfully, congressman, in your home state of florida the number of people applying to come work for us is up over 100%. the american people fully understand there is a two tiered justice system that has been weaponized to persecute people based on their political beliefs and that you have personally worked to weaponize the fbi against conservatives. i would disagree with your characterization of the fbi and certainly your description. the idea i m biased against conservatives seems somewhat insane to me given my own personal backgro
the fbi has had only eight senate confirmed directors. those directors all have a few things in common. they are all white men. they all favor a clean cut look, and each and every one of them, every senate confirmed director since the dawn of the fbi has been a republican. that includes current fbi director, christopher wray, who was appointed by donald trump. and you would not get that impression, given the way the director wray s fellow republicans attacked him and his agency during a hearing today. on capitol hill. when the court says that the fbi misled, that is a nice way of saying they lied. how many individuals were either fbi, employees, or people that the fbi could make contact with, to be in the january 6th entry of the capital? i m going to make the assumption is there is more than one, more than five, more than ten. i will say that this notion that somehow the violence at the capitol on january 6th was part of some operation orchestrated by fbi sources into
this hill, the assertion that the fbi is a readout to liberals intent on targeting conservatives. it bears mentioning that fbi director chris wray is a member of the federalist society, who clerked for michael luttig. he s a dog in the wool conservative, and i love your assessment about how deep the deep state might be in the trenches of liberalism given, you know, the claims made on capitol hill today. as chris wray himself said, alex, repeatedly today, the narrative that the fbi is somehow full of liberal deep state and anti trump, anti conservatives is ludicrous. chris wray is a pro. i disagree with chris on a lot of issues, but i respect his integrity. as i do with all of the men and women in the fbi who, in my experience is a former prosecutor, go about their very
disinformation, and now what s so popular which is victimhood. the very idea of a weaponization subcommittee is they say the government istitt)jt weaponized and those people are the victims. and victimhood gives people that they can engage in acts of political violence and those can be justified. and who s going to engage in those acts, that s something difficult for our law enforcement. i just think it s still worth unpacking, tim, what happened on the hill today and this assertion the fbi is a read out of liberals intent on targeting conservatives. it bears mentioning that fbi director chris wray is a member of the federalist society who clerked for michael luding. he is a died in the wool conservative. and i love your assessment how deep the deep state may be in the trenches of liberalism given, you know, the claims that were made on capitol hill today.
