FBI Dir. Uses Special Counsel Investigation as Excuse for Dodging Sen. Cruz’s Questions on FBI Obstructing Biden Corruption Probe

Cruz As you know ░░░░░░░░ m deeply concerned about ░░░░░░░░ conduct of both the ░░░░░░░░ of Justice and the ░░░░░░░░ particularly in the last ░░░░░░░░ years during the Biden ░░░░░░░░ I think the Department ░░░░░░░░ Justice has been profoundly ░░░░░░░░ under Attorney General Merrick ░░░░░░░░ And I think the ░░░░░░░░ has as well And ░░░░░░░░ I think you ve ░░░░░░░░ unwilling to stand up ░░░░░░░░ senior career officials in ░░░░░░░░ FBI who s allowed ░░░░░░░░ FBI to be politicized ░░░░░░░░ ll tell you I ░░░░░░░░ speak with FBI agents ░░░░░░░░ the country who are ░░░░░░░░ about the integrity of ░░░░░░░░ institution being weakened because ░░░░░░░░ is being treated as ░░░░░░░░ political weapon I want ░░░░░░░░ talk in particular about ░░░░░░░░ investigation into multiple allegations ░░░░░░░░ corruption concerning Hunter Biden ░░░░░░░░ Joe Biden Because the ░░░░░░░░ of Justice has I ░░░░░░░░ from the outset tried ░░░░░░░░ every step to stop ░░░░░░░░ into corruption from Joe ░░░░░░░░ As you re aware ░░░░░░░░ WhatAapp text message was ░░░░░░░░ to Henry Zhao a ░░░░░░░░ Chinese communist from Hunter ░░░░░░░░ that reads as follows ░░░░░░░░ m sitting here with ░░░░░░░░ father and we would ░░░░░░░░ to understand why the ░░░░░░░░ made has not been ░░░░░░░░ Tell the director that ░░░░░░░░ would like to resolve ░░░░░░░░ now before it gets ░░░░░░░░ of hand and now ░░░░░░░░ tonight And Z if ░░░░░░░░ get a call or ░░░░░░░░ from anyone involved in ░░░░░░░░ other than you Zhang ░░░░░░░░ the chairman I will ░░░░░░░░ certain that between the ░░░░░░░░ sitting next to me ░░░░░░░░ every person he knows ░░░░░░░░ my ability to hold ░░░░░░░░ grudge that you will ░░░░░░░░ not following my direction ░░░░░░░░ am sitting here waiting ░░░░░░░░ the call with my ░░░░░░░░ Now Democrats and those ░░░░░░░░ the media trying to ░░░░░░░░ the White House repeatedly ░░░░░░░░ there is no direct ░░░░░░░░ of Joe Biden s ░░░░░░░░ in his son s ░░░░░░░░ Well this is a ░░░░░░░░ that is direct evidence ░░░░░░░░ is stating that it ░░░░░░░░ his father that is ░░░░░░░░ to retaliate Now an ░░░░░░░░ whistleblower Gary Shapley testified ░░░░░░░░ the House of Representatives ░░░░░░░░ the natural step he ░░░░░░░░ to follow was to ░░░░░░░░ whether Joe Biden was ░░░░░░░░ fact sitting next to ░░░░░░░░ father when this threat ░░░░░░░░ made to extort millions ░░░░░░░░ dollars from a Chinese ░░░░░░░░ And what the IRS ░░░░░░░░ testified is that when ░░░░░░░░ tried to find out ░░░░░░░░ Joe Biden was sitting ░░░░░░░░ to Hunter that the ░░░░░░░░ blocked getting the GPS ░░░░░░░░ on Joe Biden s ░░░░░░░░ Did the FBI try ░░░░░░░░ ascertain where Hunter Biden ░░░░░░░░ and where Joe Biden ░░░░░░░░ when this text was ░░░░░░░░ Wray Well I think ░░░░░░░░ questions you re asking ░░░░░░░░ to the ongoing investigation ░░░░░░░░ led by Special Counsel ░░░░░░░░ and so I m ░░░░░░░░ going to be able ░░░░░░░░ discuss what is or ░░░░░░░░ t in scope to ░░░░░░░░ Cruz So look there ░░░░░░░░ been testimony under oath ░░░░░░░░ the IRS whistleblower that ░░░░░░░░ did not seek the ░░░░░░░░ data And you re ░░░░░░░░ David Weiss the special ░░░░░░░░ is in charge of ░░░░░░░░ And it is David ░░░░░░░░ and his underlings who ░░░░░░░░ to the IRS whistleblowers ░░░░░░░░ alleged that they re ░░░░░░░░ ones trying to stop ░░░░░░░░ investigation they allow the ░░░░░░░░ of limitations to run ░░░░░░░░ many of the most ░░░░░░░░ violations Not only that ░░░░░░░░ whistleblower Shapley testified that ░░░░░░░░ September 3rd Assistant US ░░░░░░░░ Lesley Wolf explicitly told ░░░░░░░░ that despite having probable ░░░░░░░░ to search quote there ░░░░░░░░ no way a search ░░░░░░░░ would be approved when ░░░░░░░░ evidence in question was ░░░░░░░░ inside of Vice President ░░░░░░░░ s guest house Wolf ░░░░░░░░ that quote the optics ░░░░░░░░ such a search Is ░░░░░░░░ FBI do they make ░░░░░░░░ routine practice of allowing ░░░░░░░░ political optics to prevent ░░░░░░░░ serious evidence of corruption ░░░░░░░░ My instructions to our ░░░░░░░░ on this and on ░░░░░░░░ other investigation are that ░░░░░░░░ re to follow the ░░░░░░░░ wherever they lead no ░░░░░░░░ who likes it no ░░░░░░░░ what political influence there ░░░░░░░░ be out there Cruz ░░░░░░░░ why didn y to ░░░░░░░░ tge GPS data on ░░░░░░░░ Hunter Biden and Joe ░░░░░░░░ were Wray Again senator ░░░░░░░░ respect I can t ░░░░░░░░ an ongoing investigation Cruz ░░░░░░░░ but it s not ░░░░░░░░ respect And and Director ░░░░░░░░ you and I have ░░░░░░░░ round and round on ░░░░░░░░ because I understand anytime ░░░░░░░░ re asked about this ░░░░░░░░ answer is it s ░░░░░░░░ ongoing investigation Of course ░░░░░░░░ investigation is an ongoing ░░░░░░░░ re not doing the ░░░░░░░░ you got whistleblowers pointing ░░░░░░░░ that you re not ░░░░░░░░ the work and you ░░░░░░░░ hiding behind the skirts ░░░░░░░░ the attorney general Look ░░░░░░░░ whistleblower also testified that ░░░░░░░░ attorney general when he ░░░░░░░░ before Congress go to ░░░░░░░░ next chart came before ░░░░░░░░ lied under oath to ░░░░░░░░ committee The attorney general ░░░░░░░░ to this committee in ░░░░░░░░ to my questioning I ░░░░░░░░ pledged not to interfere ░░░░░░░░ the Hunter Biden investigation ░░░░░░░░ have carried through on ░░░░░░░░ pledge The IRS whistleblowers ░░░░░░░░ alleged the attorney general ░░░░░░░░ under oath a felony ░░░░░░░░ the attorney general telling ░░░░░░░░ truth when he said ░░░░░░░░ Do we have the ░░░░░░░░ We don t have ░░░░░░░░ chart Was the attorney ░░░░░░░░ telling the truth when ░░░░░░░░ said I have pledged ░░░░░░░░ to interfere with the ░░░░░░░░ Biden investigation and I ░░░░░░░░ carried through in my ░░░░░░░░ Wray Again I I ░░░░░░░░ t speak to the ░░░░░░░░ general s testimony I ░░░░░░░░ only tell you what ░░░░░░░░ instructions have been to ░░░░░░░░ people and I expect ░░░░░░░░ to be followed Cruz ░░░░░░░░ has there been political ░░░░░░░░ in the investigation into ░░░░░░░░ Biden and Joe Biden ░░░░░░░░ Not that I have ░░░░░░░░ Cruz Were the investigators ░░░░░░░░ to investigate whether Joe ░░░░░░░░ was complicit in the ░░░░░░░░ Wray Again there is ░░░░░░░░ ongoing investigation bgeing led ░░░░░░░░ I m asking you ░░░░░░░░ corruption from DoJ Were ░░░░░░░░ allowed to investigate Joe ░░░░░░░░ or is the whistleblower ░░░░░░░░ the truth that DoJ ░░░░░░░░ Joe Biden s off ░░░░░░░░ no questions about the ░░░░░░░░ guy Wray And as ░░░░░░░░ what is in scope ░░░░░░░░ not in scope of ░░░░░░░░ ongoing investigation I would ░░░░░░░░ you to Special Counsel ░░░░░░░░ That is not me ░░░░░░░░ behind anything senator that ░░░░░░░░ a long standing policy ░░░░░░░░ has been in place ░░░░░░░░ multiple administrations Cruz Director ░░░░░░░░ you you have a ░░░░░░░░ Wray going back years ░░░░░░░░ years and years Cruz ░░░░░░░░ have a responsibility to ░░░░░░░░ FBI not to allow ░░░░░░░░ to be a partisan ░░░░░░░░ and a partisan weapon ░░░░░░░░ testimony and by the ░░░░░░░░ the FBI has done ░░░░░░░░ Wray And I have ░░░░░░░░ and I will not ░░░░░░░░ Have you opened an ░░░░░░░░ into whether the attorney ░░░░░░░░ lied under oath to ░░░░░░░░ and whether the attorney ░░░░░░░░ obstructed justice Wray I ░░░░░░░░ not going to go ░░░░░░░░ that road here Cruz ░░░░░░░░ I know you re ░░░░░░░░ that s the point ░░░░░░░░ thinks you ve opened ░░░░░░░░ investigation because you re ░░░░░░░░ willing to And the ░░░░░░░░ thing is Director Wray ░░░░░░░░ ve known you 30 ░░░░░░░░ you re not a ░░░░░░░░ Democrat you re simply ░░░░░░░░ blindly by while career ░░░░░░░░ in your agency allow ░░░░░░░░ to be weaponized and ░░░░░░░░ are damaging the FBI ░░░░░░░░ you are damaging the ░░░░░░░░ of Justice.”
