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

he looked back on his confirmation hearing, as contentious as it was and specifically remembered one particular senator. come on! we know what this is ball. this isn t we know what this is all about. this isn t about what they say. people should tell the truth. this is the wrong black guy. he s got to be destroyed. just say it. there s a fervent and aggressive school of thought that wishes to see natural law further inform the constitution. that may be lost on all the people. you know and i know what we re talking about. i had to be perfectly honest with you. you see there and you have no idea what they are talking about. laura: what a bozo. he s an originalist. ever heard of it? happy birthday, justice thomas. thank you for all you ve done for our constitution, reinvigorating its meaning, the court, all those who clerked for you, all those lives who you ve
