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.
Readout 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 luttig. he s a dyed in the wool conservative, and i d 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 liberaep state, 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 as a former prosecutor, go about their very important work with a great deal of integrity. they do make mistakes, and the
yeah, as chris wray himself said, alex, repeatedly today the narrative the fbi is somehow full of liberal deep state anti-trump, anti-conservatives is ludicrous. chris wray is a pro. i disagree with chris probably on a lot of issues, but i respect his integrity, as i do all of the men and women in the fbi who in my experience as a former prosecutor go about their work with a great deal of integrity. they do, though sometimes make mistakes. and the tragedy of a hearing like today we re spending all this time on these ludicrous issues of political theater and not talking about real issues about how the fbi gathers information about domestic violent extremism. do they officially share information with others. do they put first amendment restrictions on their ability to monitor open source information? or is there an assessment of danger when it comes to
Wanted to make sure at least somebody was going to try to protect this country from any of the abuses donald trump might engage in, and so i have no doubt whatsoever the things john kelly has said in these statements as well as many other things that trump was expected or planning to do or trying to do, and if you don t have people like john kelly, if you don t have people in the positions that are going to prevent the÷p abuse of power by presidents and others, this is something i think is really going to tear this country apart. we already are deeply polarized. but, again, if we have someone like donald trump who s the one going to select the attorney general, probably going to fire chris wray who has been doing just a tremendous job in my view to try to avoid the partisan and political waters he find himself involved in, and therefore i really am concerned donald trump who has a very well deserved
I m curious what you make of the hearing. tons of politics on both sides. wray has to defend the bureau in a season where budget cuts are potentially on the table for them. walk me through what we have seen in the first couple hours of this with democrats pointing out the desire to the conflict between investigating president trump or not, chairman jordan and republicans trying to pick the fbi apart. what stood out to you? bananas. absolute chaos in there. the fbi director who oversees 38,000 employees, investigating terrorism, child exploitation, national security, walks right into the partners meeting of insurrection llc, the largest law firm in d.c. with just one client, donald trump. the two main issues were why didn t the fbi let more people see contents of hunter biden s laptop and why did the fbi raid
