Gone in 60 seconds: At FBI director hearing, Republican conspiracies about Biden go 'POOF!'
https://www.yahoo.com/news/republican-conspiracies-biden-fbi-poof-183534324.html
But then, in less than a minute, one line of questioning made the GOP’s entire line of hooey about the FBI having it in for Republicans and being in the bag for Biden go poof.
Rep. Ken Buck, R-Colo. – yes, a Republican – began asking Wray about his career.
Buck said: “You were nominated by Republican President (George. W.) Bush for the position of assistant attorney general in the criminal division at the Department of Justice and you were confirmed by a Republican Senate?”
Wray replied: “Yes, by unanimous voice vote.”
Buck continued: “And you were then nominated by Republican President Donald Trump to be the FBI director and again confirmed by a Republican Senate for that position?”
“Yes,” Wray said. “I think there were only five votes against me and they were all from Democrats.”
Buck concluded: “According to Wikipedia, you’re still a registered Republican, and I hope you don’t change your party affiliation after this hearing is over.”
So the Republicans who want to defund and discredit the FBI, the ones who eagerly dragged the FBI director through the mud Wednesday with absurd allegations grounded in zero facts, want you, the American people, to believe this: The nation’s premier law enforcement agency has been weaponized against Republicans under a director who is a lifelong Republican and who reached his current post by being selected and confirmed to positions by two Republican presidents and two Republican-led Senate bodies.
Forget that all this is in defense of former President Donald Trump, a one-term, twice-impeached lifelong con artist who now faces more than 70 felony charges in two cases, with more indictments on the horizon.
Forget that Hunter Biden was actually charged with two misdemeanor tax offenses and a felony firearm offense.
Forget that, despite relentless investigation, Republicans have produced nothing linking President Biden to his son’s activity, or the fact that the person they touted as a key whistleblower was just charged with arms trafficking and acting as an unregistered agent for China.
Before you even get into details of the conspiracies, you have to believe the FBI director at the center of it all is corrupt. And he was appointed first by President Bush and then again by President Trump! This conspiracy is now an unusually large footprint shy of Bigfoot.
@suzianne saidPoof? So the hearings have failed and i is all over? Dam, I thought for sure the Biden syndicate guilty of nefarious activities, like doing biz in Belarus and in China and in Russia. Wonder why not in the UK, Germany, maybe Lichtenstein? Curious that they just dropped the investigation.

Thanks, Suzianne. You were right, and I was wrong.

He's DEEP state. That supersedes party affiliation. It took me about 10 days to figure it out.
@earl-of-trumps saidOh, Lord....please don't get this child started on something that she knows nothing about, we have a hard enough time in the weeds.

All because your white "savior" turned against Comey and then Wray, because they had the GALL to investigate a criminal, AKA Trump.
They're just doing the job they were hired to do. If Trump doesn't wanna be investigated, he shouldn't have done the crime. Simple as.
But rank and file Republicans hate what Donald Trump hates -- FBI, DoJ -- and love what Donald Trump loves -- Russia, Putin.
Get a grip.
@earl-of-trumps saidThere is NO "deep state". You believe this conspiracy theory, like many others Donald Trump pushes, simply because Trump says so.
