That is not what Wray said.
From a politico article, which has a bunch of quotes. Wray was concerned about a particular agents social media tweets NOT the FBI investigation.



Wray seemed to raise doubts that Thibault was working at any recent time on issues related to Hunter Biden. The FBI chief said that investigation, reportedly focused on tax issues and potential foreign influence related to Hunter Biden’s business ties, is being run by the Bureau’s Baltimore Field Office, which handles matters related to Delaware.

The Biden administration has permitted Trump’s appointee as U.S. attorney for Delaware, David Weiss, to stay on to complete the probe of the president’s son.

WHen did Wray say Thibault had no connection whatsoever to Hunter Biden? He was the assistant special agent in charge of the DC office until recently, now he's on leave. Shocker.

Bryan, what does it say to you, that all of big tech and the lefty media buried this story until the election (saying that anyone who discussed it was spreading Russian disinformation), and then after the election, they all said "oh by the way, it was legit". Is that all a random coincidence? Or was it obviously an attempt to help Biden win?

You flip flop from one topic to the next or just insert a topic that’s no one is even talking about would hop scotch be a better comparison


Ps Carter Page was the only one of four initial suspects in the Russia investigation who was never charged or convicted.

Wow that’s how the system supposed to work

oh so you’re calling me out for switching topics. When was the last time anyone started a thread that you guys didn’t all immediately pivot
to trump?

flip flopping is when a person changes his position on the same topic.

The investigation is/was being conducted out of the Baltimore field office by a rump appointee....

Did they want Trump to win when the announced the Hillary investigation <2 weeks before the election?

Or, maybe there should have been/should be a heavy dose of skepticism with a blind laptop repair guy across the country, who just happened to have a laptop? Why did Barr work to keep the investigation into Hunter quiet? Did he want Trump to lose?

Even recently, I had read a Wash Post article where they could verify some of the emails are real, but a vast majority of the data had been so mishandled by the folks that now have the laptop, that the authenticity of some of it/much of it cant be verified.

All of that comes back to the fact that Hunter is clearly a scumbag. Full stop. He has a drug problem and is likely pretty amoral. He traded on his dads name to make a lot of money. So did/do the Trump kids. Does it suck, yes. On both sides.

i’ve said trump is morally bankrupt. I believe the bidens are as well, all
kinds of evidence that’s the case.

yes it sucks on both sides. However, The DOJ and the media and big tech aren’t treating both sides the same.

you have a totally valid point about the hilary investigation two weeks before the election, that didn’t help her. but she had that coming.

trump is corrupt, and is being investigated by everybody. fine

the bidens have it coming, and are getting a free pass. Joe, who once said we need to believe al women ( when kavanaughs head was in the block) has a rape allegation against him. And there’s all kinds of evidence of shady influence peddling. But we aren’t supposed to talk about it ( it’s russian disinformation!), and for sure the DOJ isn’t looking at it.

yes bryan, i’m sure the DOJ thoroughly and impartially investigated Hunter and Joe, concluded they did nothing wrong, and then nobody said anything about it. It didn’t get to the media. Or even more likely, maybe the DOJ told CNN and MSNBC that the Bidens were squeaky clean, but CNN and MSNBC chose not to mention it on the air because they didn’t want to appear to be showing favoritism to the Bidens.

I’m certain that’s exactly what happened.

Because you see or hear the outcome you want..

"you totally ignored Rockhound and the laptop."

What did I ignore? Please be specific?

"are convinced the FBI and for sure the DOJ isn’t looking at it."

If the FBI was looking into it, Wray might have said something when he was just questioned about it. Why would they look into something that's all "Russian disinformation", anyway?

"you see or hear the outcome you want"

Right, which is why I was sure Trump would lose in 2016, why I think the GOP is doing a godawful job of campaigning right now.

We can't all be as honest and impartial as you are.

That's something, coming from a guy who denies that the Minneapolis teacher contract has anything to do with race, because the word "race" isn't in the language. Give me a break, you have less than zero credibility.

This is especially important since Hunter worked in the White House for four years even though he was rejected for a security clearance and then later got a $2 billion investment from the Saudis ... oh wait
