Wray's Turn
Yesterday, it was FBI Director Christopher Wray's turn to testify about the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. His testimony was better than that of former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle. But he still wasn't entirely forthcoming, in my opinion.
There are only a couple of fundamental questions. One is: Why was Trump allowed to go out on the stage? The whole reason the Secret Service is there is to protect the high-profile official they are assigned to.
When Wray was asked about this, he replied, "We don't know the answer to that."
How is that possible? That should be one of the first things to get nailed down.
Wray couldn't answer that critical question, but here's what he did share with the committee: FBI officials discovered that the shooter had researched how far away Lee Harvey Oswald was when he shot John F. Kennedy. There was a lot of murmuring in the room when Wray said that.
What does that have to do with anything?
I believe that "revelation" was just "candy" for the rest of us. It was a total distraction that was totally irrelevant to the crisis we are in. It's of no consequence whatsoever!
Wray wanted to make headlines, and he did. It made the front page of today's Washington Post: "Shooter Looked Up Killing Of Kennedy."
I don't need to hear about the shooter's interest in the JFK assassination to believe he was an evil individual. But I am having a hard time believing that he was able to pull this off by himself.
Even if we accept a degree of incompetence in the Secret Service, the magnitude of this incompetence strongly suggests intentionality.
