Christopher Wray beclowns himself

“Psychopaths are notorious for not answering the question posed them or for answering in a way that seems unresponsive to the question.”   --Robert D. Hare, Without Conscience

Current corrupt FBI director Christopher Wray testified before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday. The man is as unscrupulous as his predecessor James Comey, as disingenuous and as willing to dissemble.  He answered no questions in a straightforward manner but, as he has done before, replied evasively with the arrogance only a psychopath might have under duress.

While he most assuredly thinks he laughed his way out of that hearing, he most certainly revealed himself to be afflicted with some kind of mental disorder, the kind that explains how a person can lie, cheat and maybe even steal without blinking as eye and feel proud of himself for fooling “the people.”   

He refused to admit to Rep. Marsha Blackburn that the Russia collusion hoax that the Obama/Biden cabal visited upon Trump was a hoax.  It was. Everyone knows that by now. The Durham report, ineffectual as it was with regard to accountability, proved the despicable agenda to destroy President Trump began during the 2016 campaign and, once, to their dismay, he was elected, ramped up; it was illegitimate by every constitutional standard.  Those who participated should be in prison.  But they’re not.  

Meanwhile, the wholly venal DOJ is doing everything in its power to see that Donald Trump is convicted of something, anything.  Anything to keep him from being re-elected President.  

Our system of justice, once the most revered in the world, has been corrupted beyond all reason.  It has become something resembling Stalin’s NKVD.  And what is so truly frightening is that AG Garland, Wray, DHS chief Mayorkas and their minions are not remotely embarrassed by their obviously extra-constitutional abuse of the law to silence their opponents.  So secure in their positions of power, they fear no retaliation from our wholly unethical DOJ and/or FBI.  

The US is now a police state, one in which those in power use that power to destroy their critics and political opponents. 

Wray refused to admit to Congressman Matt Gaetz that the FBI has protected the Biden crime family, concealed the facts of their shakedown schemes and outright bribery that amounts to selling out the US to China.  The man is a special breed of cat. He is clearly a malignant narcissist, comfortable lying, at ease with evasiveness.  

He’s proud of himself; he smirks with delight at his talent for dissembling.  He thinks he is fooling not just the members of the committee but the American people as well.  In fact, most of us watching his deceitful performance found him contemptible.  He is a Comey clone; narcissistic, arrogant and pretentious.  He assumes he is worthy of respect and he is not.  He is the kind of man the Founders warned against.  

Never forget John Adams’ famous quote:  "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."  The Comeys, the Wrays, the Mayorkases, the Bidens and their ilk are neither moral nor religious people, despite their claims to the contrary.  

America is at a dangerous crossroads.  The Democrat left has been consumed by the tenets of the WEF – we will “own nothing and be happy.”  The totalitarian agenda has been wholly embraced by the globalist left.  No Democrat, as the party is currently constituted, will dare express a dissenting word.  Their leadership most likely has some kind of leverage over each and every one of them, for they do not deviate from the orders from headquarters.  It seems not one of them has a moral core.

We can all see for ourselves the dire cost of dissent.  Whistleblower Gal Luft has tried to bring the truth of the Biden family corruption to light and the vicious DOJ suddenly charges him with a potential hundred years of imprisonment! The horrific crimes perpetrated against anyone who happened to be present at the Capitol on January 6, 2021 is catastrophically un-American; more proof that we’ve become a police state.  

Christopher Wray’s pathetic appearance before the Judiciary Committee was just more proof that our formerly revered system of justice has been corrupted beyond all reason, beyond all that is right and moral.  Wray no doubt thinks he performed excellently; he bamboozled them all.  But he did not.  Anyone who watched his creepy act must now be more afraid for our nation than before.  

A precious few Republicans properly grilled the man.  The Democrats embarrassed themselves with their smarmy, obsequious praising of Wray, despite his responsibility for making the FBI the least trusted American law enforcement institution in history.  Several of the Republicans brought up the polls that show the FBI is no longer respected and is, in fact, feared, but Wray let that fact roll off his shoulders like water off a duck.  He could not have cared less.  He has power and he means to use it to his own ends and to further the far left’s agenda.  He is a sort of predator who walks among us

Psychopaths have a narcissistic and grossly inflated view of their self-worth and importance, a truly astounding egocentricity and sense of entitlement, and see themselves as the center of the universe, as superior beings who are justified in living according to their own rules.  - Robert D. Hare


Christopher Wray Asked Why FBI Would Pay $1M to Verify Trump-Russia Claim and $3M to Squash Hunter Biden Laptop Story

Why did the FBI pay a million dollars to verify an accusation made against a Republican, then shell out three million to squash a story detrimental to a Democrat, Rep. Barry Moore (R-AL) asked FBI Director Christopher Steele Wednesday.

Rep. Moore pressed Wray on the subject during a House Judiciary hearing regarding the weaponization of the federal government:

“Why would the FBI offer Christopher Steele a million dollars to verify a dossier about Trump-Russia collusion, and then the same FBI offer $3 million to Twitter to squash the story on the Hunter Biden laptop?”

“Do you have any idea why a law enforcement agency would be playing into elections?” Rep. Moore asked the FBI director, who dodged the question by saying the dossier predated his confirmation.

“It’s the same agency paying a million to push one story out, or try to collaborate one story, and three million to squash another story, for political opponents,” Rep. Moore replied.

Wray rationalized the millions spend on the Trump-Russia and Biden laptop initiatives by saying that the FBI has a long history of paying companies for the costs incurred while doing the government’s bidding:

“When there are payments to social media companies, that is by long-standing federal law going back about four decades, where we have to pay companies for their costs in responding to legal process.”

 

“And it's not just social media companies. It's other kinds of businesses as well,” Wray added, possibly suggesting even broader use of FBI funds on similar projects.

 

at today's @judiciarygop hearing, i asked director wray why the fbi would pay twitter $3 million to squash the hunter biden laptop story.

he said paying social media companies is "longstanding precedent".

As it has turned out, the accusations in Steele dossier used to attack former Republican President Donald Trump have been thoroughly debunked, while the suppressed news report of the existence of the infamous laptop belonging to President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, has proven to be true.

Rep. Moore noted that the FBI’s handling of the stories appears to have been “extremely political,” reflecting poorly on the bureau's reputation:

“But when these stories get out and you understand, certainly the dossier story, and I know that wasn't on your watch, but also the Hunter Biden laptop story, that to me looks political, to the American people it looks political.

“And I'm just an everyday guy, I'm not an attorney, Mr. Wray. But, to me, it looks extremely political and that is why you're having trouble keeping the FBI's reputation afloat.” 


CAN WE SAVE AMERICA FROM JOE BIDEN???

Pre-Emptive Presidential Pardons for Joe and Hunter Biden

As the revelations of potential bribery, bank fraud and tax evasion swirl around Joe Biden and Hunter Biden, both men, who are increasingly appearing together, seem extraordinary calm and unconcerned in public as Joe flashes his signature supercilious and mocking smirk whenever he is asked about the various investigation into his and his son’s activities over the past 12 years.  Thanks to pre-emptive presidential pardons, Joe knows that he, Hunter, and the family will never have to answer for any of their alleged egregious criminality.

The Supreme Court has ruled that a president can issue a pardon before charges have been filed.  That pardon power:

...extends to every offense known before the law, and may be exercised at any time after its commission, either before legal proceedings are taken or during their pendency, or after conviction and judgement.

Apparently the strategy over the past two and a half years has been for Joe Biden to rely on his sycophants in the Justice Department to stonewall the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate him and to negotiate an absurdly lenient jail-free plea deal with Hunter while the legacy media continued to deliberately ignore or conceal any alleged criminality.

With a court-approved plea deal on the books, the Justice Department could then continue to obfuscate by blithely claiming that they criminally charged Hunter Biden.  Thereafter, they could ignore the calls for a full-scale investigation of bribery and bank fraud allegations until after the 2024 election, when Joe would be safely ensconced once again in the Oval Office and pre-emptive pardons could then be issued with no political fallout for Joe or the Democrat party.

However, on July 26th a federal judge in Delaware has to approve of Hunter’s recently announced absurdly lenient  plea deal on criminal gun and tax evasion charges, unless the Justice Department requests a delay for fear of an adverse ruling.  After the ongoing revelations by the whistleblowers from the IRS, there is certainly ample reason for the judge to reject the plea deal. 

If the deal is rejected, the well laid plans of Joe Biden and the Justice Department will require a major revision, as the federal prosecutors and Hunter Biden would have to discuss a possible jail sentence as part of a new plea deal knowing that Hunter would never opt for an open trial. 

Even if the judge does accept the plea deal as filed, the Republican House of Representatives is continuing its investigations.  Thanks to a phalanx of patriotic whistleblowers and dogged determination, it appears the House will be able to publicly reveal potentially irrefutable evidence of Joe and Hunter’s criminal activity.  Thus, the Justice Department is finding it difficult to continue burying their heads in the sand and refusing to pursue a criminal investigation of Hunter and possibly other Biden family members without implicating Joe.

This scenario is further complicated by 2024 political considerations as Joe Biden is ostensibly seeking re-election.  The endless disclosures coming out the House are undermining Joe’s standing with the American citizenry and the Democrat party’s ability to retain the presidency.  So, what to do and when with Joe, Hunter, and the family, particularly if Hunter’s plea deal is rejected?  

Hunter Biden, as the bag man for his father, has the goods on Joe and he, Hunter, likely is not going to spend years in jail for bribery and fraud without threatening to take Joe down with him.  As their respective careers have underlined, both men are devoid of decency or scruples.   Hunter also knows, thanks to Joe being President, that pre-emptive pardons would be uniquely available for him and the other members of the Biden Crime Family.

At some point soon, Joe will be faced with having to issue pardons for Hunter, James Biden and others.  Does he do it now or wait, as planned, until after November 5, 2024 during the interregnum period between the election and inauguration to grant the pardons? 

If Joe issues the pardons anytime soon, or if the Republicans and conservative media can transform the issue of pre-emptive pardons into a major political controversy, his campaign for re-election will be over.   The Democrat party will have to move on to another presidential candidate waiting in the wings. Thus, exacerbating the timing of when the pardons will be issued.

After pardoning Hunter et al, the overarching dilemma for Joe Biden will then be how to pre-emptively pardon himself.

Much has been discussed and written about a president’s power to pardon himself.  Some constitutional scholars claim a president can issue a self-pardon, as the matter wasn’t directly addressed by the Constitutional Convention and as “there are no constraints defined in the Constitution itself that says he can’t do it,” he therefore could self-pardon.

However, a sizable majority of Constitutional scholars claim a president does not have the power of self-pardon and that the Supreme Court would very likely rule against it if the matter ever came before them.  Per prominent Constitutional law professor, Brian C. Kalt:  

The Framers either assumed that self-pardons were invalid or at most failed to consider the issue.  The text they wrote does not say anything specific about self-pardons, but their failure to explicitly ban self-pardons cannot be read as a decision to allow them.

Looking at the structure of the Constitution and the government it creates, we find a general distaste for self-dealing and a specific notion of a presidency that is limited in ways that are inconsistent with allowing self-pardons.  Finally, general principles about the rule of law and against self-judging militate strongly in favor of the notion that self-pardons are invalid.

Therefore, it would be risky for Joe Biden to go down the road of a self-pardon, particularly if the Democrats lose the White House in 2024.  However, at his age as well as his mental and physical health, he may consider it worth the risk.

There is, on the other hand, another option that avoids the high probability of a self-pardon being declared invalid.   Mary Lawton, an Assistant Attorney General, wrote the following in 1974 when Nixon was considering a self-pardon:

A different approach to the pardoning problem could be taken under Section 3 of the Twenty-fifth Amendment.  If the President declared that he was temporarily unable to perform the duties of his office, the Vice-President would become acting President and as such he could pardon the President.  Thereafter the President could either resign or resume the duties of his office.

As Biden currently already cannot perform the duties of his office, the above scenario is highly plausible, presuming that the Vice President, Kamala Harris or any possible successor, would be willing to make such a commitment.  

In what will be one of the most egregious travesties of justice in American history, these pre-emptive pardons will inevitably be issued during the Biden presidency. 

The Democrats and their allies, the legacy media, will dutifully avoid any discussion of pre-emptive pardons.  Therefore, for the next 16 months, the Republican candidates for the presidency, Republican members of Congress, and conservative media must begin to openly, unabashedly, and consistently emphasize this issue of self-pardons and corrupt deals with a vice president.  The vast majority of the American public must be made aware that Joe Biden and his family want to not only escape accountability but that a duplicitous Democrat party will be abetting this travesty.

Today, Joe Biden Rails Against Legacy Admissions. His Past Casts An Awkward Shadow.

With lackluster grades, Beau Biden landed a competitive job at DOJ while his father was high-ranking member of Judiciary Committee

President Joe Biden's late son Beau was once seen as the scion of a political dynasty. A former Department of Justice prosecutor, state attorney general, Bronze Star recipient, and presumptive future governor, Beau Biden's résumé offers a glaring contrast to his brother Hunter's rap sheet.

But Beau Biden's life of public service probably wouldn't have been possible without his father's helping hand, which was so evident in the early years of Beau Biden's professional life that it generated scrutiny from a local Delaware newspaper in 1996. Both Beau Biden and his father were forced to answer questions about how the young lawyer earned a spot in a hyper-competitive Justice Department program that would serve as the springboard for his political career.

Today, the story of how Beau Biden got that job provides an awkward backdrop to his father's rage in the wake of the Supreme Court's decision outlawing affirmative action in higher education: The president has responded not just by attacking the decision and the Court, but also by taking aim at so-called legacy admissions and directing his Department of Education to look at how such practices "hold back" diversity and inclusion on college campuses.

"When a poor kid—maybe the first in their family to go to college—gets the same grades and test scores as a wealthy kid whose whole family has gone to the most elite colleges in the country and whose path has been a lot easier, well, the kid who faced tougher challenges has demonstrated more grit, more determination," President Biden said.

In 1996, Beau Biden was far from the ideal applicant for a prestigious Justice Department job that saw 4,000 applicants for only 163 spots. He graduated with a 2.69 GPA from a third-rate law school, Syracuse University, and his only prior job experience was clerking for a New Hampshire judge—who, coincidentally, served as a New Hampshire co-chairman of Joe Biden's failed 1988 presidential campaign.

Still, the Wilmington, Del., News Journal reported in 1996 that Beau Biden snagged a spot in "an entry-level program for lawyers at the Justice Department." The article does not name the program, but it seems to be the Attorney General's Honors Program, described by the Justice Department as "the nation's premier entry-level federal attorney recruitment program" for "high-caliber attorneys." Beau Biden's father at the time was the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which oversees the Justice Department.

The arrangement raised eyebrows at the News Journal, whose reporters reached out to both Bidens to ask if favoritism played a role in Beau's new job. But the Bidens brushed them off. "I don't see any conflict," Joe Biden responded.

"Why would there be? The Justice Department is a gigantic department and he's qualified. At least they assumed he was," Joe Biden added.

Beau Biden struck a similar note. "Are you trying to say we should have been doctors?" he snapped at a News Journal reporter who pressed him about the fact that his brother, Hunter, was also pursuing a career in law.

After Hunter Biden passed the Connecticut bar exam, he took a job at MBNA, a Delaware-based bank. Months before Hunter Biden started working at MBNA, Joe Biden sold his home to the bank's chief marketing officer for $1.2 million—more than six times what Biden paid 20 years earlier. In 1996, Joe Biden's Republican opponent ran ads slamming the senator for his seemingly cozy relationship with the bank. The press had questions, too.

"Unfortunately, no matter where I went to work, some people would make an issue of it," Hunter Biden told the News Journal, when asked if his father helped him get the job.

With a degree from Yale Law—where he served as editor of the law review—Hunter Biden seemed qualified for the lucrative banking job. But how Hunter Biden ended up at Yale was a different story.

When Hunter Biden first applied to Yale Law School, he did so with the help of a powerful alumnus. In 1993, then-president Bill Clinton called then-Yale Law dean Guido Calabresi and urged him to admit Hunter Biden.

Hunter Biden was not initially admitted to Yale. But Calabresi, one of Clinton's earliest supporters, agreed to meet with the younger Biden, as the Chronicle of Higher Education reported in 2019. Calabresi suggested that Hunter Biden enroll in a different law school and apply for a transfer after one year.

Hunter Biden took Calabresi's advice and was accepted to Georgetown University, where Clinton had earned his undergraduate degree. After a year he applied for a transfer and was admitted to Yale Law. Shortly thereafter, Calabresi resigned his deanship to serve on the federal judiciary. The man who presided over his confirmation: then-senator Joe Biden. (Calabresi has since denied playing a role in Hunter Biden's admission to Yale Law.)

Both Hunter Biden's and Beau Biden's careers took off in the following years. The latter eventually parlayed his entry-level Justice Department position into a job as a federal prosecutor, followed by a stint as Delaware's attorney general. Beau Biden was widely held to be a shoe-in for the Delaware governor's mansion when he died from cancer in 2015.

As for Hunter, his extravagant lifestyle has been well documented for years. Before his descent into drug addiction, Hunter worked as a lobbyist and an investor, where he regularly took home seven-figure paychecks. His last-known residence was a $5.4 million home in Los Angeles.
