There has been mountains of documents produced to show that this did indeed occur.

Dude seek help immediately.  

Dyed in the wool liberal who worked with Elon musk
 

OK seems plausible

The more I watch and read, the more I see Wray winning this match.  He's way smarter than the likes of Gaetz and Jordan and way less slippery.

Looks like they were fired before testimony... I seem to remember getting somewhere near $1000 to be an expert witness.  I think I got $500 to review a single case at home and give an opinion.  I"m pretty sure the agents were making less than me at their jobs.  btw, this isn't court.  It's testifying in front of the house committee.  Wray was a witness today.  You think he got paid ?  Lawyers, please weigh in.

 

It got boring and I had some chores to do.  looks like Wray his doing just fine:

Ken Buck, a good R:

Rep. Ken Buck (R-Colo.) noted Wray’s status as a Republican appointee leading an agency often attacked by the GOP.

“You're still a registered Republican, and I hope you don't change your party affiliation after this hearing is over,” Buck said.

“But I want to thank you. I want to thank you for leading an agency as you mentioned in your opening statement, that protects Americans from foreign terrorists, that an agency that protects Americans from spies from China, and Russia and cybercrime, and public corruption and organized crime and drug cartels and human traffickers and white collar criminals,” he added.

“And I want to thank you and the FBI for protecting law-abiding Americans from the evil that exists all around us.”

That’s a lot of words that mean absolutely nothing. An expert gets paid WHATEVER they want to get paid. (Not saying that’s what happened here.)  To equate this to Wray testifying today is beyond hilarious!

How much do you think Vindman got paid?  How much has he lost?  Is he a patriot in your eyes?  Earnest enough for you?  watch his hands shake.

He’s not anything in my eyes. I have no idea what your point is. Experts and whistleblowers get paid whatever they want. It doesn’t make them good or bad people. And it means absolutely NOTHING about the validity of their testimony.

Money is a powerful incentive to the weak and even the not so weak.  But more to the weak.

Hawk, I’ve yet to find anything that you and I agree on. I’m going to keep looking though. 😉

So every single FBI director has been a Republican. And the right wing loonies are screaming like moon bats they are not being treated fairly? 
 

Idiots

You didn’t mind when Trump colluded with Facebook and Twitter, right Karen Psyop?

 

You didn’t mind when Trump paid media outlets to catch and kill his salacious stories?

 

Gym and Jimmy C would never investigate that right?

I've given this some thought.  Do you like pasta?  and dry red Italian wine?  I just made an excellent Carbonara and it takes 15 mins.  Jamie Oliver 1 pot dishes...You're welcome

We found something! I used to love watching Jamie Oliver cook in his little British flat. There were certain products that are packaged differently in the UK and I always found it interesting. And I do love me some carbonara!

My wife immediately ordered the cookbook.  Be careful!  I'm thinking some tuna and it's a great tune noodle casserole (which I love).

Okay…try this. Fry bacon in a pan. Reserve the grease, and then cook/warm a can of well drained tuna in the grease. Put the crumbled bacon back in the pan, and then pour the entire mixture over spaghetti. Pour a ladle or two of the pasta water over it, with a drizzle of olive oil. Cover in Parmesan cheese and sprinkle with chopped parsley. It’s the best! 👍

The congressman can orate. Pretty standard qualification excepting MTG, Boebert, Santos and Tuberville.   But Wray destroys his argument.  Perception matters but is not ultimate truth.

I prefer Hank Johnsons take:
