Bye Bye Christopher Wray

What may be lost in the kerfuffle over Kash Patel’s nomination to the FBI directorship, its so long Mr. Wray.  I have no intention of going through a laundry list of his failings.

But it is worth noting that last Friday, another J6er was arrested. Like a dog on a bone they won’t give up. So of all Wray’s failures, the deployment of human assets should go down as one of his worst failings. Churches, schools, clinics, there never were enough targets to go after as long as they were conservative.

The Washington Times picks it up:

In 2020, the FBI director dispatched no fewer than 15 special agents to Talladega Superspeedway to investigate a garage door pull-down after NASCAR driver Bubba Wallace suggested it might be evidence of a hate crime. That’s almost as many detectives as the Los Angeles Police Department assigned to investigate the Manson Family murder spree in the late 1960s.

The bureau hasn’t let up on its unprecedented nationwide dragnet, indicting 1,243 conservatives for trespassing at the U.S. Capitol nearly four years ago. Last Friday, a Florida man was charged with using “a deadly or dangerous weapon” on the west front of the Capitol. The lethal implement wasn’t a gun or a knife, as the terms imply. It was a large Trump 2020 banner.

While rambunctious sign bearers are being identified and captured using high-tech spy tools, the same FBI asserts it has no idea who planted pipe bombs outside the Democratic and Republican Party headquarters on Jan. 6.

We likewise know little about the men who attempted to assassinate Mr. Trump. The FBI brass seem willing to talk only when the discussion advances a political narrative favored by the current administration.

The most potent bullet point on Mr. Patel’s resume is the one outlining his service as chief investigator for then-House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes. The committee’s work ultimately exposed the Russia hoax that Hillary Clinton created and the FBI perpetuated — including on Mr. Wray’s watch.

Bunk here had to go to the Hindustan Times to find a video of Kash Patel without a lengthy liberal commentary. All claiming retribution was in the works. Says it all. There is a difference between retribution and accountability.

The nominee summed up his intentions at the Conservative Political Action Conference in February: “We are going to look back and say, we helped destroy the two-tiered system of justice that is targeting Americans illegally. We helped destroy and identify an intelligence community that has gone rogue to seize our right to vote with their lies and fake disinformation campaigns.”

The best of the swamp.
