#1 Among the claims Wray made to the Committee was a pretty specific one: the Richmond memo was the work of FBI agents who worked alone and didn’t represent a larger movement within the FBI to attack political conservatives. Wray assured us that he was deeply concerned about this and was investigating how it happened.
That investigation was his excuse for withholding information, including redacting documents and not allowing the agents to speak to the committee. In itself, this is a bizarre standard, as there are no criminal charges involved and the Congress is charged with oversight of the Executive Branch. Is it now the case that any time the FBI or any other agency wants to hide information from Congress they can just claim they are “investigating” the matter and will tell Congress nothing?

#2 The Constitution forbids titles of nobility, but we do apparently have de facto nobility.

#3 /\ ..... we do apparently have de facto nobility.

Wealthy tech oligarchs, congress critters, Senior Executive Service (SES) gov't weenies, 51 former intelligence officials, Department of State foreign service appointees, big pharma and media moguls,.....etc, etc.

#4 Impeachment inquiries are what I would like to see.in the end. Hold Wray in contempt would be the start. This time, not as a negotiation. He can’t unlie. The lying is done. Same for Mayorkas and Garland. Hold them all in contempt. You could do the same for Biden with regards to his repeated use of Executive Orders to subvert the legislative process.
The next step for Garland, Wray and Mayorkas is a criminal referral. On the face that step appears useless but all three have broken the same law that usually empties out the bank account of folks like Roger Stone. Why are Administration clowns like these guys and Fauci not accountable through the same bogus process crime baloney that outsiders are? Make the DOJ provide status reports on the referrals. They obviously won’t do anything, but make them report their inaction and ambush all of them when they come up to Congress for other testimony. Lisa Monaco as well for the Hunter whitewash deal.
The entree to the process would be the impeachment inquiry. Subpoena the heck out of them until they bleed out. You can go right to the impeachment inquiry with Biden. Make the Dems defend his sorry carcass. Beat on them; defund them; be on offense for once in coordinated way that achieves victory and makes Rand Paul uncomfortable.

#6 An excellent series of ideas at #4.

Why am I not enthused or encouraged, I wonder?

But please, do continue.

Pretty clever, huh? Catch 22. The only thing Congress can do about it is to withhold all funding for the entire federal government until Wray is replaced by someone who will be a bit more forthcoming. Garland too. He needs to go.

And then, what do you know, the sonofabitch got fired.
