“I’m not going to get into commenting on that,” Wray replied, which prompted Gaetz to comment “You seem deeply uncurious about it, don’t you? Almost suspiciously uncurious. Are you protecting the Bidens?”

“Absolutely not,” Wray said, and Gaetz cut him off again to say, “You won’t answer the question about whether or not that’s a shakedown, and everybody knows why you won’t answer it. Because to the millions of people who will see this, they know it is, and your inability to acknowledge that is deeply revealing about you.”

Gaetz also cast perjury accusations at Wray before proclaiming “The FBI has broken so bad that people can go and engage in queries that when you come before the Congress to answer questions, you’re, like, you’re blissfully ignorant” about the FBI supposedly “using the FISA process as their creepy personal snoop machine.”

[Perhaps Wray isn’t, and perhaps the FBI isn’t, but it’s clear that the Department of Justice is. It’s not clear yet what the FBI’s role in investigating the Bidens has been; this information came through an IRS investigation, although the FBI may have participated in it. The investigation has been run by David Weiss, who should be forced to answer this same question under oath, along with another: “Who *is* protecting the Bidens?” — Ed]
