working undercover are responsible for january 6th. please anyone listening, put that down as nuttiness, that was claimed again today. and both of those things could not be more dubious let s just put it that way. okay, that is what i wanted to follow up on. that it is carroll s almost, you know, it is going, it is goofy to silly. it is something much more serious than that. i, mean it is dubious, it is devious, wouldn t you say? no one is making this argument about fbi january 6th by accident. it s a defined conspiracy theory. you know i am glad that you got on the follow-up, because i heard both frank and joyce making the very coach and point about an attack on a democratic institution. the fbi is a investigative arm of the department of justice they hallowed institution that is supposed to be above fear,
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
you know, no one wednesday in terms of gop or democrats, the fbi, there were no wish today except you know who? our adversaries. russia and china, and their intelligence services could not cave pay for this kind of damage to the fbi. they are getting it for free from the gop. wow, what do you think, joyce? well, i think frank is exactly right. when you see this kind of attack on a public servant like chris wray, and you think about who benefits? who benefits? that would be countries that are not our allies. people, if you know what is the american democratic institutions remain strong, people who don t have the best interests of this country at heart. and it is important to focus on stuff that you have director wray s. he started his career at the justice department as a line prosecutor. in atlanta he worked his way up

and also derivative lee of the trump campaign and their contacts, they are clear, evidence of contact with the russians operative. maybe willy-nilly maybe and willingly, maybe stupidly, but they have plenty of contacts with those individuals. crossfire hurricane was resulted in a director of the fbi being fired. the deputy acting director of the fbi being targeted by donald trump for an irs audit according to reports, it resulted in careers being ruined. sometimes people being attacked and bloodied and sullied because they exchanged text where it looked like they did not trust donald trump. well, they had good reasons to not trust candidate donald trump. there were mistakes made by the fbi, but the lessons of crossfire hurricane have been
