I'm ready to see Wray in handcuffs and an orange jumpsuit. I've had enough of his bullshit.
Absolutely
Now that's the "ongoing investigation" I'm wanting to get going on!
He would have to arrest himself is the problem. And they just had the few Republicans who are calling out his blatant crimes against the American People. And his protecting criminals in the US Communist Party.
The only thing you can do is guard the polls.
Wray is not political. Are you? Look in the mirror.
All this shady bullshit, nobody does anything wrong, nobody to be held accountable...........BUT MISS PAYING YOUR TAXES AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
Exactly maybe we all need not pay our taxes until these crook are removed from office oh wait they just print more money they don’t have…
Not paying doesn't matter. Not filing does matter. That's what Al Capone got jailed for. I wasn't able to pay the IRS more than once. There were zero bad consequences. I called them up and said I can't pay that much now. They asked me kindly how much I could manage to pay them per month. I agreed to an extremely low amount and took perhaps 10 or more years to pay what I owed.

@@bite-sizedshorts9635 The IRS would have made your life hell, if you hadn't paid them the extortion money.
@@jeffreymcmillan7703 Correct you are!
Wray has no right withholding evidence against "We the People" He needs to be held accountable for his crimes.
We know absolutely they will never be held accountable for lying. But they wont be able to lie to their maker. Just like Killary never being held accountable for her "I dont recalls" . All lying word salad
I agree but it will never happen. FBI on National TV enumerated 16 felonies by the then director of the FBI. He proceeded to say: "no reputable prosecutor would persue this case."
I want to know why he still has a job..matter of fact I want to know why all of them are not fired . They still do nothing but lie.
He still goes back to his job and does what ever he wants oversight is a joke at best Congress needs to be removed from our service along with the alphabet. soup
This is stupid we pay people to give our money away and violate our rights it's beyond crazy.
“We have to be careful about what we can say during an investigation” yet they published a document saying it was not real.
Wray " Other Agencies are breaking Federal Laws, How come the FBI has to follow the Law " ??
They leaked info on Trump investigation daily
What a joke. Wray will NEVER take responsibility🥶
Correct and there will be no consequences at all.
And so it goes on
The bigger joke here is the Republican Party that represents us…
Wray is after all A republican.
@@Grandpa660Stop thinking in terms of left vs. right. It's what they want, maybe think in terms of us normal, hardworking taxpayers vs. the eternal bureaucracy, unelected, that is controlling our freedoms.
@@spencertherren6806
You are correct. They want us divided.
It's always an on-going investigation with Wray.
Pitiful that all he can say, cause he is a guilty and lying
He'll be gone soon. Wray's a criminal.
@@adelitabriano4423 I sure hope so !!!
And it's a lie. He's protecting himself, not any "investigation".
Only until the Statute of Limitations runs out.
Seriously, no one will be held accountable. That’s why our country is totally screwed.
uhhh Trump is facing 91 felony counts
Our country is not totally screwed. USA is strong.
@@fredwoodson6405 Strong as a wet noodle thanks to the Democrats!
We are def living in the collapse of western society. Another Dark Age is on the way.
With YAHOVAH anything is possible ❗✝️☝️ Is saving America HIS will? I choose to keep praying, speak and stand strong. Yield, wait and THANK HIM for EVERY VICTORY.
The American people are truly disgusted with the corruption that seems to be so commonplace in the very institutions that were founded to prevent such activity.
meh - very vague and declarative. meaningless
How long does America have to endure these lying swamp creatures? I don't care if Wray goes to jail or just gets fired and loses his pension. He just needs to get out of our lives! America doesn't deserve to continually have to put up with this BS.
When elected politicians' and bureaucrats both are limited to 12 years working for the government. 12 years total between a bureaucrat and politician and once a persons worked in the government, they cannot work for a company that's paid by the government directly or indirectly thru a 3rd party.
The only thing you can do is guard the polls.
It's sewer NOW
Won't matter soon, we're a banana Republic 🍌
Remember that pace pacante commercial? Get a rope?
Why in hell is Wray still working for the FBI ??
DOJ and other crooked people in gov.
Because the Democrats have majority in the Senate
Why in the hell would he not be?
kinda vague - explain @@WaryofExtremes
JEAPORDY REPLY : "What is a partial sentence, devoid of context?" @@WaryofExtremes
This man is a national treasure. Certainly an architect of dialect.He has a talent for delivering on point questions. He makes them nervous and that's a good thing Let's go Brandon
I LOVE the way Senator Kennedy always ask questions. On any topic!
You need to do some critical thinking then
Love Kennedy he's so right on this.....Wray should be fired.
Wray is a corrupt traitor, he needs to be charged for treason and 100% of his assets taken!
Republicans are no better at oversight than legislating.
%100 !!!
Fired and his pension taken away.
Fired and sued .
Whenever Chris Wray opens his mouth to spew his narrative, just know that he knows he's lying, and he knows that we know he's lying! "nuff said!
watch how wray blusters and waves his hands about. mayorkas grins and says, let me give you the gigures, wray,...it is my understanding. yhey lie like hell. just wand to waffle with figures, ...it is my understanding etc
Actually, nowhere near “nuff said”. I don’t suppose you’d care to qualify that statement. with examples of Wray’s “lies”, would you? If you can’t, think about it. Don’t you think you should be able to BEFORE you make statements about it? That’s just straight out of the “How NOT to Look Like an Idiot 101” playbook.
These people need to be born liars to hold the positions they hold and they know this but does not seem to bother them one bit!!All about the money!!!
Wray was appointed by Trump. And Trump only hires the BEST.
,,,and out here in the rest of the world we know you are lying!
Why aren't the individuals in the FBI,and all the other agencies being prosecuted for all the violations against the American people.
If they couldn’t say anything about what they said was under investigation???.....then how could “They Say” it wasn’t real???....
The open corruption makes me puke.
The ongoing investigation that went NOWHERE !!!!!
Wray's should be payed $1.00
Excellent point. The FBI knew from day 1(or close to day 1) that the laptop was real and that it was Hunter Biden's . That's my opinion and I'm sticking with it.
It's not OVER, but it WILL never end, thus............ everybody SKATES!
Exactly!
Christopher Wray has got to be one of the biggest slime balls to ever grace the FBI!
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR SERVICE, Sen. Kennedy❣️
Chris Wray is a dirty Cop😢. They all have been. All.
It's awfully convenient that any federal agency or witness can refuse to answer because of an "ongoing investigation" (due to their crimes being investigated).
on every single question until the statue of limitation runs out.
Is this why the faces on the released video are being blurred? So that we cannot recognise the faces of the FBI?
And then turn around and leak stories to corporate-state propaganda outlets (media).
He's keeping quiet because he knows he's corrupt.
Bureaucrats vs the people
😊 There goes that truth again..
Thank you Senator Kennedy for asking the tough questions.
...or the easy questions that just never really get answered.
The laptop is getting annoying and I’m just amazed that republicans can’t seem to stop ranting on about a stolen laptop. Frankly, legally, any evidence that is gained illegally is inadmissible. The fact that this has never been raised by the bidens means that they have allowed the republicans to go on about this nonsense. I wonder if that is a ploy in itself because if the ploy is to make the republicans look voyeuristic, hypocritical and a tad more than stupid then they have done a good job. After all, we have the republican project 2025 that really doesn’t need to get a chance to be enacted due to the fact that the USA and its constitution will never be the same again. You want a dictatorship? Then vote republican in elections.
- THIS EPISODE IS BEING CENSORED BY A.I. - MISTAKENLY & REPEATEDLY ABUSIVELY - LIKE PAID HUMAN ANDROIDS…!!
I admire him like no other for his candor and honesty
@@lisashapiro4714 Wray " Other Agencies are breaking Federal Laws, How come the FBI has to follow the Law " ??
Wray should have said, “We didn’t disclose the Lap Top was real because we wanted Biden to win.”
A great man, thank you John.
This misspelling of the FIB has gone too far! 😮
When Senator Kennedy speaks, all ears are tuned in to what he has to say. ❤
It is always good for a laugh!
No one has asked this Communist about this until Sen. Kennedy has that I have heard.
Its all theater tho, nothing ever done.
@@douglasvick414exactly. Kennedy gave Ray plenty of airtime to spew his lame excuses. Why didn’t he ask Ray that if you can’t comment during an ongoing investigation then why did you release statements saying it was Russian disinformation?
@@thepcal9654 🤔hmmm...🤔 This is a good point.
Love John Kennedy!!! A true American!!! God bless him❤️
Times X 10
Treason at the highest level
So… what happens to those responsible???
Until there are consequences NOTHING will change
...last note, in deference to Wray's BS claim of "election season sensibilities" - why is there a friggin' parade of Dem DAs trying to interfere with the leading Republican candidate?
Wray is the head of the FBI, not the head of the DOJ or local governments.
It's easy for people angry at the situation to point a finger at him but in reality he has nothing to do with any of it.
He broke the law? And it’s not like this popped up out of nowhere where. What were they supposed to do? Wait until after the next election?
Especially when they could have done these things 2 1/2 years ago and gotten them done well before the election.
Because Communists are the Democrat party
Just today repub officials admitted trying to destroy a US Election - Wisconsin. On and on. TRAITORS.
That’s BS Wray. You put your hand on the scale yet again.
No one respects Wray
WHAT is BS? What exactly did he say that you believe is bs.
@@ninadaly7639his lying about why he refused to comment on the laptop.
Do you live under a rock, or DNC headquarters??
@michaelvance-wu9oxgreat, a sexist and an apologist for the FBI and DNC. Great job sir.
@@grandpa6535 Lying for refusing to comment??? Do YOU live under a rock?
When will people be accountable within the security agencies in America?
Is your question rhetorical?
If not, you seem to be “begging the question” because you have included an assumption within the question. The proverbial “do you still kick your dog?” model
ºUntil the year 1913 a man kept every penny that he earned. We had an army and navy, we had hospitals and police, we had banks, schools, colleges, vast railroads, subways, streets, highway, traffic lights and signs. We had dogcatchers, garbagemen and politicians. We had dams, bridges and ferry boats. We have always had whatever we ever needed. So why do we need to be taxed ?
ºGovernments are brave snakes, saving the lives of fish…from drowning.
The fbi can't comment on an ongoing case[while biden is running for president]. But, when Trump is running and entered the WH, they sang like. Canary!
Pretty obvious by now the FBI is the democratic parties strong arm. It's pretty obvious who they work for.
Exactly . They are so stupid to think we can’t see and hear all of this. OH sorry they think we are the stupid ones. But we should be the voters but they only want millions of unreal, fake ballot votes. Same Wray hid Biden’s documents until he could take care to get him off, voting ballots by millions of dead people ,vacant buildings, in big storage containers waiting until they close to bring them to process.? Look at all of the ones they found that they stored with someone but not going to investigate to see I who ballots are for. Can’t take a chance for us to know. I received a ballot in my mail to mail a ballot for the lady that lived in My apartment before me, problem, she had been dead 4 years. Next election I won’t throwaway when I see what a difference it made in the election. I should have gone to cemetery and made a photo and turn ballot over to commission.
Wray is a Trump appointee and has run the FBI since August 2017. Another Trump swamp creature.
That is why they never end any investigation .That is why you never get an answer for anything
Yeah well that's not true but continue lying because mostly everyone knows the difference
I can't tell you how many times I have watched Wray give the same word salad and not ever face any consequences. Imagine you work at a grocery store. You are the general manager and your corporate leadership asks you how sales are and you promptly tell them you can't talk about an "ongoing" sales scheme you are conducting and can't talk about "hypotheticals". Wray has done this over and over along with dozens of other criminals at our DOJ.
The only thing you can do is guard the polls.
More word salad or BS from Wayward Wray .
He flat out doesn't answer the questions.
The Director of the FBI does not "work for" the Senate
@@TrumpCantRead, the senators are 'representatives' of the people. FBI works for the people.
Why do they keep calling that FBI guy back up there? He's not ever gonna tell them anything or the truth. So why do they keep messing with him
Kennedy is a master wordsmith.
Wray is even better.
and he is smart at playing there game
I'd like to know why they have to be "very careful" about telling the truth😊
We have to be very careful about what we say lest we trip up on our lies.
A slimey swamp critter will never answer a direct question honestly. They will lead you around in circles till you forget the question, or they run out the clock.
Who Coaches These Crooked People To Wriggle out of Answering Questions So Well ? The Devil Himself!!??
If ever I'm arrested, I'm going to say to the investigators, "As you know, I can't comment on an ongoing investigation." It works for the FBI director, why not me?
The Hillary email excuse is better. "I didn't know it was wrong". Prove that i did
Wait, they needed to be "careful" with commenting on the case because it was election season, yet they had absolutely no problem preemptively coming and saying that it has "all the hallmarks, etc., etc."?!?!? Someone please tell me what I'm missing!
OK I'll help you out. At the time in question TRUMP was POTUS. There was no Biden White House, no Biden DOJ, no Biden Homeland Security. Phoney corn pone Kennedy (who actually went to Oxford and talked normal in 2004 when he endorsed John Kerry) is counting on your failed memory and Trump cult status to override common sense.He wants to somehow get you to equate the events he discusses like Govt restrictions on twitter and alledged censorship by the FBI with Joe Biden, who you hate. However, the fact is that Trump was POTUS and all of the heads of the various agencies in question were, just like Wray, TRUMP appointees. That's just a small taste of what you're missing. Let me know if you need me to provide more facts...😏
Well yeah, but that was (D)ifferent for some (R)eason.
Remember the letter all the agents signed about Russian involvement? All lies.
You’re noticing things. And that’s bad for tyrants.
@@macethorns1168 🤨😉🤨
There's that "ongoing investigation" which was in dec 2019 and that investigation is not over yet!
Without lies they won't survive.
Impeach the jack wagon!
Call your representative now
impotent
Impeach who?
Impeach Mike Johnson for obstructing Justice. He just admitted he "DOES NOT WANT THE DOJ TO INVESTIGATE ANYMORE PEOPLE CONNECTED TO JAN 6."....He actually said that!!!...Not only was he a Jan 6 accomplice. He does not want those involved charged.....IMPEACH MIKE JOHNSON.
Jack wagon is untouchable.
representatives are in on it thats why he is in office for so long. The only thing you can do is guard the polls.
Fire him.
God bless this great American.
Senator Kennedy is one of my heroes. But shortly down the road, I want to hear them talk about recompense for the American people.
Always an ongoing investigation…
Ray Ray Ray Your lying through your teeth
It's WRAY, WRAY, WRAY
Wray is a traitor and he must eventially be held accountable.
Punished on live TV. Without shame, the traitor actions will continue unabated😢😢😮
Let's see your proof, and your explanation of what he should be held accountable for.
If W-ray is arguing that the FB-eye makes decisions based on an election cycle, he’s admitting that they’re being political instead of just.
Its so hard to watch them getting away with daylight robbery
"We have to be really careful about what we say. Especially when it comes to telling the truth."
He should have been more careful
I live in the uk and could listen to sen Kennedy all day he is brilliant
Hes a graduate of Oxford.
Also from the UK he's bloody brilliant love him
same, UK here too
Me too.
Yup ! I’m in Durham UK ,I’ve been listening to him for a couple of years now,he’s always on point !. And I’m a left leaner .
That smirk. I knew it was from a lab 3 months into covid and i never finished college.
Lying is all they do. Nothing happens to them ever. Pretty sad.
Your use of absolute terms like “all” “nothing” and “ever” renders your claim ludicrous
Tyrants !! 40 agents ?? I'm surprised Wray doesn't have a better tan - with as much time as he's spent on a private island.
Wish I could be the guy to fire that weasel Wray.
I haven't heard Wray answer a single question in all the time that I've been following this laptop saga, even now it's just word salad.
Penny from Christchurch. 🇬🇧
but what "you see" or "dont see" is meaningless to facts
"In the middle of an election season. My god he just said the quiet part OUT LOUD!!!
They might fool some of the people, but not all of the people.
Ongoing investigation and it’s a loan repayment…the explanation for everything in the Obiden Administration.
The new coverup strategy seems to be to just start an investigation and then state that you can't comment because of the investigation. We used to call this type of activity a scam.
the Republicans "started the investigation", are as Hillary's emails and BENGHAZI
How does this guy still have a job ?
U ROCK KENNEDY! 👍👍👍👍🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
How many years will the questioning and then lack of action continue?? Probably indefinitely 🤷🏻
We all watch these clips actually thinking this time someone will just tell the truth. We are insane for expecting that.
And also this video is 5 months old
Just the opposite. We know they will lie.
@zlatkobozinovski7387 it's 2 days according to every major news outlet and fbi website
I think folks are insane to vote for a sleazy corrupt game show host
Yet Wray is still in his job. Boy its a good thing that all these hearings are actually stopping anything like this, and that anyone who was a part of this is facing charges. OOOOOHH thats right it hasn't. Thanks for wasting my money on empty grandstanding 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
How true, they blow smoke up our tails and then say the woods are on fire.
Why keep asking the same questions and expect any answers?
Either crap, or get off the crapper.
Appointed by Trump... only the best remember?
Therein lies the starkly negative public perception (and disgust) with this administration and the majority host of politicians, both right and left....a lot of yapping back and forth with ZERO consequences for those who should be in jail and the proud owner of a felony charge. Until we see some actual law enforcement taking place against the traitors of this nation, every word that comes from Congress is BULLSHIT. Thank God some people are starting to come around. I just hope it's enough to save the integrity of our nation and allows government transparency. Anything less makes us no better than the CCP or any other dictatorship in the world. All American people, especially our youth need to understand this so that these political criminals WILL be made accountable for their misdeeds and betrayal of their own constituency. And I mean by (at a bare minimum) implementing the EXACT SAME judgement that would befall any common man on the street. For as public servants, they are held to a higher standard necessitating a more stern punishment when they fall out of line. There's a lot of room here, considering politicians make obscene amounts of money and shooting someone for national betrayal is no longer a valid concern. ONLY THEN will things get better for everyone in this country. I've been around long enough to have seen the proof that capitalism is the lesser of the evils for a government institution. In fact, with an honest, mostly hard working and empathetic citizenry it may be as close to perfection as we can get. However, if it is not properly and fiercely regulated by the people as a whole, it also rots faster than any other form or government I know of. We're looking at it now, and the solution is not changing to a different kind of government that's already proven a myriad of history that it's actually worse. Like I said, I've lived almost 60 years and I've seen it. What worries me the most is the young, still learning, impressionable people who don't know this for a fact. They can be swayed from the truth. Given the condition our government's in currently, VERY EASILY swayed. It's up to the older, more experienced folks to pass along what we know to be true and good, and what works best for the free person.....lest history keeps on slapping us back to square one, I like to think we're better than that. We start with taking out the trash and filling prisons with the derelicts that are currently serving their own selfish needs while selling out millions of their own people. The verdicts are all over the place. Many have appeared before court, but the law ends there because there is no enforcement, only vacant lip-service. It has to stop.
@@BobM.-to9ji Recommended by Chris Christie, only one of the WORST, remember?
@@Tryng2bgodly So Trump is whipped to the whims of Chris Christie? Trump was whipped to the whims of Nancy Pelosi who suddenly had more control over troops than the Commander in Chief? He had the authority to make the final executive decision, and he just let all these RINOs and communists walk all over and make decisions for him? Doesn't sound like a very strong and dependable guy to me..
Then what were those 80 Agents doing?
You could have confirmed the laptop/ and kept the investigation going!
And nothing happens to these crooks.
Remember when Lerner was exposed for holding up Republican non profits for years. Obama gave her a cushy well paying promotion.
WOW! Did you see Director Wray start sweating? Neither did I.
If I ever get arrested and the police question me, my response is gonna be “ due to an ongoing investigation on your part I cannot speak on that”!
Lol how those FBI agents aren't behind bars is beyond me.
Google "innocent until proven guilty" comrade! It will explain how the USA works
Chris Wray is just laughing at the Senate, he ducks & dodges every question, never gives an answer just toys with every Senator, he knows he doesn't have to answer to them. The only way this will change is if there is a change in the White House & that person has the right stuff to make those changes happen, and it won't stop with the director, it will have to go much farther. God Bless our Country.
OR you could prove Wray has done something illegal. which you can't.
The FBI director does a lot of dancing around the question.
Wray can lie with such a straight face. Amazing.
Arrest ray ray and throw him in gitmo. Stop wasting time and tax dollars that could be helping wonderful Americans.
Same ole same ole… I cannot respond to an on going investigation ..while not investigating…
Fabulous 👌 Sen Kennedy 😀 👍
Defund FBI. Get these creeps out take away any pensions and any income
Please vote to let your voice be heard. Vote!
one excuse and justification after another......
all will be esposed
Wray is without a doubt the slipperiest creature to ever walk the face of the earth.
Mayorkas..."Hold my beer"...Bud Lite.
Kkkennedy will NEVER learn that the FBI can not talk about ongoing investigations, or personnel matters. or classified information... this is all a show to kennedy ...he has been told this a thousand times
The FBI the Federal Bureau of Intimidation
You can "hotly contest factual information" but it remains, they are still facts.
Wray knew about the laptop ages ago, long before the election
Imagine what Wray and the FBI would have done if the laptop had belonged to Don Jr.! Is there one person in the world who believes it would have been handled the same way?
I'm fed up with "ongoing investigations"! Charge Wray with obstruction and put his ass in jail!
Glad its an ongoing investigation!
I'll bet that director Wray is still trying to untie the knots in his tongue at his answer to senator Kennedys questions
Rules for thee (us peasant tax payers) but not for me (the elite ruling class).
My biggest concern is why was the FBI withholding national archive information from congress showing emails from Burisma, Schwerin and Joe thanking them for firing Shokin. Why did the DOJ tell Shapley he could not interview Tony Bobulinski?
My question is where is your proof for anything you claim?
@@TrumpCantRead Comer, Jim Jordan, the people who said Hunter Biden should be indicted for Tax Evasion in California 9 months ago. It took the DOJ nine months later to do something it could have done two years previous? LOL They knew about the Tax Evasion in 2019. Nothing move forward in Hunters case till the Whistle Blowers testified, its verifiable. Hunters Attorneys even faked themselves as the house oversight committee Attorneys to try to prevent Amicus Briefings from reaching Judge Norieka's desk. The proof is all over. The DOJ and FBI are not cooperating with house oversight. Congressman Steube was interviewed and said he saw a national archive email where Burisma thanked Rosemont Seneca for the firing of Shokin and Schwerin, Hunter and Joes Alias were all on the email.
I am very sad that this people want to see America fail when the only beacon of hope in the world is call AMERICA
We need a law whereby the intelligence communit[y is] forced to cite a case number to prevent this obvious obfuscation.
Remove Wray and they still do as of today
