Republican Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz grilled FBI Director Christopher Wray today about the bureau’s handling of investigations into President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden and his shady foreign business dealings at a hearing today.
Gates started off reading from a WhatsApp message sent by Hunter Biden to a Chinese businessman:
“I’m sitting here with my father. I will make certain that between the man sitting next to me and every person he knows and my ability to forever hold a grudge, that you will regret not following my direction.
“I am sitting here waiting for the call with my father.
“Sounds like a shakedown, doesn’t it, director?
Wray responded that he was not going to make any comment about the obvious shakedown.
Gaetz fired back: “You seem deeply uncurious about it.
“Almost suspiciously uncurious.”
Before he asked the million-dollar question, “Are you protecting the Bidens?”
“Absolutely not,” Wray said.
Gaetz said: “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.”
