FBI Director Christopher Wray: The Mystical Mouthpiece for the Deep State
 [PJ] Poor Christopher Wray. He may have been a star at Phillips Exeter Academy. He may have graduated cum laude from Yale University. He may have been pulling in $9 million a year at King & Spalding, defending people like Gov. Chris Christie in Bridgegate. But now that he is head of the FBI, he has Joe Biden disease.It seems he can’t remember the answer to the simplest of questions at congressional hearings. Have a question for the smartest man in law enforcement? Whether it is complicated or simple, he’ll get back to you. Once the cameras are off, and the information the public has a right to know is as stale as a hobo’s breath, then he’ll let you in on the secret — maybe. Msgr. Ronald Knox once wrote a book titled Enthusiasm. It is a long study of various religious movements that have periodically burst onto the scene in the last 2,000 years. A frequent common denominator is the backing of very wealthy people. Throw in charismatic and even mystical leaders and enthused followers, and the movement is off to the races, often with very unhappy consequences. Facts are irrelevant to many of these leaders. They have the Inner Light. They and the Perfect who follow them are the vanguards leading the way out of the dead letter of the past. Breaking the 10 Commandments is often no obstacle since being among the Perfect means what they do is, by definition, perfect. The Deep State in Washington has all the signs of being a secular version of these religious enthusiasms. And Christopher Wray has the makings of one of its mystical acolytes. Consider his testimony before Republican Sen. Rand Paul, KY. Sen. Paul asked these questions. 1. "Is Facebook or any other social media company supplying private messages or data on American users that is not compelled by the government or the FBI? No warrant, no subpoena, they’re just supplying you information on their users?" 2. "Is the FBI obtaining anonymous social media data and then using technical methods to pierce the anonymous nature of the data?" 3. "Are you getting tips and leads from social media companies?" Feel free to mix and match his responses, all of which don’t answer any of the questions. Included is a possible guess at a translation.
