This wasn’t that quick and very informative. As an FBI veteran, I’m pleased to see a Director stand up to these idiotic conspiracies and what if’s from the Republicans.

Cruz and Hawley are afraid they're in the metadata. I'd love to see the Bureau frog march those two through an early morning perp walk.

They appeared very worried, and looking for ways to suppress evidence revealed. As with the Biden-Harris administration good works, the snowball of the investigation will steadily grow. I have faith it will pick up such trash as it finds it. It is time stop giving Jtrash H press, and to deflate the Crxz balloon.

Nothing would give me more pleasure!!

Their day is coming. It won't be a perp walk - more like getting kicked out of the treehouse club.

My imagination of potential activities for those two go in the direction of Criminal Minds FBI profilers on really special criminals who have been so privileged and look at the depths they have sunk to— they ought to be studied so we can learn about th3ir brain functions and then can recognize th3m in other strange criminals.

You and me both!

Frog March? Better, a couple of sleds (or wagons) with belt fasteners so, you know, the passengers cannot fall off before their vehicles slide into the deeper water.

Sorry. I posted my comment before seeing yours.

Someone posted this previously. I'm sorry I can't remember who it was.

You know, Jan, we have a small problem here. Your statement contains the implicit assumption that brainpower and intelligence are being applied, qualities Republicans are not known for. That quote would be stretching most of them way beyond their abilities.

You have to think like a sheep, like a fly in a swarm of flies, like a person with limited emotional capacity, to get into their minds.

"Hey, we are losing our white privilege here. Our world is disappearing. Our country will never come back if we lose this election. [That last one is a Cheeto quote]. It's all the fault of those POC, those uppity nasty women, Pelosi and AOC and BLM, they are taking away our white power and white privilege. We don't wanna lose our white privilege. We don't wanna lose out to POC and liberals and gays. We wanna keep our white males-first straights-first society. We don't wanna grow up. We don't wanna wear masks. WAAAAAAAAA. . . "

They don't want to lose their white power and white privilege society to liberals and gays and POC and women. That's all there is to it.

"It's all their fault, the liberals and gays and Pelosi and AOC and yoga and women in power. Yoga, yech, what is that? It's not something we learned in Sunday school, so it must be a Muslim clothing thing like what the women wear. We can't deal with it! We can't change to a different society, a new society! We are babies! We are infants, toddlers, wimps, wussies, cowards crying into our beer, because we lost our White Society and our Great White Leader."

Hi Frank. Not everybody gets 42 likes so quickly. I’ll speak for myself: I really appreciate having an FBI veteran here. What an outstanding resource.

Frank, what does that tell you about how appreciated you are here?

Director Ray's testimony indicated that the Bureau is doing its job properly. Cruz and Hawley were playing to their audience of ignorant and gullible supporters. They know the truth and prefer to peddle lies rather than admit it. Actually, many of those who swallow the Trumpublican lies know they are lies but it gives them a cover for their real beliefs, racism, bigotry and a desire for the easy answers a dictatorship brings.

When Director Wray was chosen I told friends that Trump just doesn’t realize that every Republican isn’t a mindless sycophant and could have integrity. I’m just glad Trump didn’t fire him and Biden let him stay to restore some calm and continuity. With Merrick Garland as AG, the Rule of Law is back.

I found Hawley's questions regarding tracking electronic communications interesting. Can't help but wonder whether there could be some personal angst in that.

😁 They should be afraid, very afraid. There’s a new Sheriff in town.

If only - it would be such sweet payback for the last four years of gangsterism.

I left the Bureau a long time ago but their resources, when used properly, are overwhelming.

I'm definitely in favor of their current resources.

I’m still perplexed as to why they didn’t see this violence coming.

I thought the same. He seemed a bit desperate to me.

Perfectly stated Jacob. That cover is their bully shield. It needs to be ripped right off!

The fact that he's a Trump-appointed Republican makes it all the more sweet.
