You’ve read the stories. FBI Director Chris Wray bugged out on his Senate hearing where he managed to say… pretty much nothing. We found that the J6 randown is being run by the clowns who entrapped and kidnapped the Michigan kidnapping cappper. This was the only thing of substance. There is nothing more pathetic than falling upwards in Washington crony politics.
Wray’s a lawyer. Wray played with words as much as he could. After that, he had to stop for a pee. Wray took a longer break than he was allowed to when Wray asked for a 5-minute rest. Wray announced that he had an airplane to catch. Everyone assumed he meant he was off to some location in fly-over USA where he’d throw on a flack jacket to arrest more grandmothers who took photos in the Capitol.
Nope. Chris Wray was off to upper New York state and the bucolic surrounding of Lake I-Don’t-Give-A-Damn. (It’s actually called Lake Saranac.) When Wray was in short pants, he would stay at his parents’ compound. Now that he’s in charge of the FBI, he can still do the same, but on our dime. Wray has at his disposal a “company paid” Gulfstream jet. He figured — why not jet to the woods with the wife for some R&R? Can’t be late.
Nothing’s more important than Wray catching some downtime. Wray works hard. It is exhausting to track down grandmothers or concoct kidnapping schemes. I can’t imagine the conversation with the wife during his pee break. Perhaps it was something along these lines:
Wray: Yeah I’m on a break, I’ll make the flight no problem. Heck, it’s MY plane. It’s possible to pull out the lobsters from the freezer. I’ll be there in plenty of time.
Wife – Is it working well, or did you think they might make you stay up later?
Wray: Oh yeah, I haven’t told them squat, you know me. I’m good at weasel words. And Grassley is totally buying the “I have to catch a flight to bag bad guys” line.
Wife: Red or White?
Wray: Honey. Red. We aren’t commoners.
Wray implicitly lied about “having to catch a flight.” Will he pay a price for it? Nope.
