Rep. James Comer and House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy are dead right to hold a contempt of Congress charge over FBI honcho Christopher Wray’s head.
The agency is blatantly stonewalling the legislative body over a potentially explosive whistleblower allegation against the president in an FBI informant file by deciding to “stiff-arm Congress and hide this information from the American people,” to use Comer’s pungent words.
Comer was absolutely correct to slam as insufficient Wray’s offer Wednesday afternoon to let him see the document without actually producing it for his Oversight Committee (as required by the legally binding subpoena).
At this point, after all, the public has lost so much trust in the FBI, the onus is now on Wray to prove his agency isn’t protecting Biden yet again.
And anyway, if there’s nothing to the claims in the document, as the White House insists, why not release them publicly?
