Howie Carr: FBI head Christopher Wray, an innovative master in the art of stonewalling

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:44:22 GMT

Donald Trump said this weekend that it was “probably” a mistake for him to appoint Christopher Wray as director of the FBI.Probably?Of all the terrible appointments Trump made, Wray has to be at the top of the list.Wray is nothing more than a Deep State operative with a badge, continuing to operate the sinister FBI as the Democrat party’s own Gestapo.But Wray has accomplished one thing — he has taken the art of stonewalling under oath to previously unknown levels.It used to be that when a thug didn’t want to answer an embarrassing question, his only real option was to cite his Fifth Amendment rights. Every gangster carried with him a dog-eared card he could always pull out in a courtroom:“I respectfully declines to answer dat dere question on da grounds dat it might tend to incriminate me…”It was left to Billy Bulger, the Democrat brother of a serial-killing Democrat gangster, to elevate the dummying-up routine to a new level. In 2003, called before Congress to testify under o...
