Matt Gaetz.<\/p>\n<p>But he only sealed his own humiliation.<\/p>\n<p>The moment came when Gaetz, a GOP firebrand taking on the culture of corruption surrounding President Joe Biden\u2019s administration, used his five minutes of questioning during a House Judiciary Committee hearing to pin Wray down on the bureau\u2019s handling of the Hunter Biden laptop investigation and abusing the rights of Americans with warrantless searches.<\/p>\n<p>He started with the now-infamous WhatsApp message recovered from the Biden laptop, in which Hunter threatened to use his father\u2019s influence to punish a Chinese business partner if an issue wasn\u2019t resolved to his satisfaction.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou seem deeply uncurious about it, don\u2019t you? Almost suspiciously uncurious,\u201d Gaetz said. \u201cAre you protecting the Bidens?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It was a devastating five minutes for Wray, and satisfying to millions of Americans who have watched the Washington establishment operating with impunity in the service of the Democratic Party agenda and the Biden White House.<\/p>\n<p>Check it out here:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<div class=\"firefly-embed\">\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Every minute of Wray\u2019s testimony is worth watching, but the final exchange starts at about the 4:40 mark, when Gaetz points out that Wray\u2019s evidently dishonest, talk-to-the-palm answers are why the FBI has lost the trust of the American public.<\/p>\n<p>(A Harvard-Harris poll from May showed a full 70 percent of Americans are either \u201cvery concerned\u201d or \u201csomewhat concerned\u201d about the FBI meddling in elections.

And then, at the end of the day, you won\u2019t criticize an obvious shakedown when it\u2019s directly in front of us.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd it appears as though you\u2019re whitewashing the conduct of corrupt people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A better man than Wray would have kept his mouth shut at that. A better man would have taken the well-deserved tongue-lashing and moved on. Of course, a better man would also have come clean.<\/p>\n<p>Wray did none of the above.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, he reached for a line that sounded like it might have come from NBC\u2019s loathsome Stephen Colbert. (Maybe his writers are killing time during the strike with pro bono political work?)<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRespectfully, congressman,\u201d Wray said, with the smarm and sarcasm of a 16-year-old who just thought up a good one in study hall, \u201cin your home state of Florida, the number of people applying to come work for us and devote their lives working for us is up over 100 percent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not clear what Wray was trying to do there except blurt out some irrelevant factoid that \u2014 given the source \u2014 may or may not be true.<\/p>\n<p>What was clear was the response Gaetz delivered.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re deeply proud of them,\u201d he shot back. \u201cAnd they deserve better than you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They might or they might not. Florida is a vast state with a diverse population and, despite Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis\u2019 thumping victory in November and the GOP monopoly on power in the legislature, it still has a criminally large population of Democrats. There could well be an influx of Sunshine State liberals into what appears to be the burgeoning business of domestic spying.<\/p>\n<p>But cynicism aside.<\/p>\n<p>The fact is that all Americans \u2014 Republicans and Democrats \u2014 deserve to have an FBI that can be trusted to perform its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mayorkas-says-border-agents-caught-whipping-haitian-migrants-have-shifted-to-desk-duty\/\" title=\"Mayorkas Says Border Agents Caught \u2018Whipping\u2019 Haitian Migrants Have Shifted To Desk Duty\">law enforcement duties<\/a> without engaging in rampant political opportunism.<\/p>\n<p>Americans don\u2019t need a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/matt-gaetz-humiliates-fbi-director-during-his-testimony-at-house-judiciary-committee-hearing\/\" title=\"Matt Gaetz humiliates FBI Director during House Judiciary Committee hearing.\">federal law enforcement director<\/a> who specializes in urinating on legs and then claiming it\u2019s raining.<\/p>\n<p>At the moment, the country has the Bidens for that.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/matt-gaetz-humiliates-fbi-director-testimony-house-judiciary-committee-hearing\/\">Matt Gaetz Humiliates FBI Director During His Testimony at House Judiciary Committee Hearing<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\">The Western Journal<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Christopher Wray must improve his aim on the FBI&#8217;s range.
