FBI Dir. Uses Special Counsel Investigation as Excuse for Dodging Sen. Cruz’s Questions on FBI Obstructing Biden Corruption Probe
EXCERPT:
WRAY: “Well, I think the questions you're asking go to the ongoing investigation being led by Special Counsel Weiss and so I'm not going to be able to discuss what is or isn't in scope to that.”
CRUZ: “So look, there's been testimony under oath from the IRS whistleblower that you did not seek the GPS data. And you're right, David Weiss, the special prosecutor, is in charge of it. And it is David Weiss and his underlings who, according to the IRS whistleblowers have alleged that they're the ones trying to stop the investigation, they allow the statute of limitations to run on many of the most serious violations. Not only that, IRS whistleblower Shapley testified that on September 3rd, Assistant US Attorney Lesley Wolf explicitly told investigators that despite having probable cause to search, quote, 'there is no way a search warrant would be approved when the evidence in question was located inside of Vice President Biden's guest house.' Wolf stated that, quote, 'the optics prevented such a search.' Is the FBI, do they make a routine practice of allowing partisan political optics to prevent investigating serious evidence of corruption?”
WRAY: “My instructions to our people on this and on every other investigation are that we're to follow the facts wherever they lead, no matter who likes it, no matter what political influence there may be out there.”
CRUZ: “They why didn'y to get tge GPS data on where Hunter Biden and Joe Biden were?”
WRAY: “Again, senator with respect, I can't discuss an ongoing investigation --”
CRUZ: “But -- but it's not with respect. And -- and Director Wray, you and I have gone round and round on this because I understand anytime you're asked about this, the answer is it's an ongoing investigation. Of course, the investigation is an ongoing, you're not doing the work, you got whistleblowers pointing out that you're not doing the work and you are hiding behind the skirts of the attorney general. Look, the whistleblower also testified that the attorney general when he came before Congress -- go to the next chart -- came before Congress, lied under oath to this committee. The attorney general testified to this committee in response to my questioning, 'I have pledged not to interfere with the Hunter Biden investigation I have carried through on that pledge.' The IRS whistleblowers have alleged the attorney general lied under oath a felony. Was the attorney general telling the truth when he said this? Do we have the chart? We don't have the chart? Was the attorney general telling the truth when he said I have pledged not to interfere with the Hunter Biden investigation and I have carried through in my pledge?”
WRAY: “Again, I -- I can't speak to the attorney general's testimony, I can only tell you what my instructions have been to our people and I expect those to be followed.”
