FBI Chief Christopher Wray: ‘I've Never Completely Understood the Term Deep State'
2018-06-29
[Breitbart] Thursday while testifying before the House Judiciary Committee, FBI Director Christopher Wray said he never had "completely understood" the concept of a "deep state" in government.

Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) asked, "So I asked in another hearing, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, was there a deep state at the State Department. He laughed, and he basically said no, there was not. So, Director Wray, I’m going to ask you. Is there a deep state at the FBI?"

Wray answered, "Congressman, I’ve never completely understood the term ’deep state.’ What I can tell you is that we have 37,000 men and women working in field offices all over the country and in offices all over the world. They are people of character, of courage, of principle, of selflessness and of patriotism. And that’s the FBI that I see."

#12  The sainted rank and file had treason happening right under their noses, which means either they were in on it or too stupid to carry a badge.

#11  Known wolves. However, its far better to just watch and not interfere because our sheep citizens are expendable rather than expose the danger and end our work. When government decides what you get to know and not know.

#9  One simple question for this fellow:

Senior FBI employee Peter Strzok's security clearance was either suspended or revoked.

Tell us WHY and be specific !

#7  Every time this moron "testifies" before congress, the first, third, fifth and so on questions should be "describe an actual criminal case the FBI broke last week." Every hearing should end with "Is it true that committed amateurs broke the D.B. Cooper case where the FBI could not?"

#6  Well, Chris you are now the director of our premier Federal investigative agency. You've never understand "deep state." How about "shadow government?" Do you understand the following terms "swamp?" What about "subversive activities" in your agency? Sedition? Treason?

Would you trust this smarmy jackass if he told you to "...speak frankly and don't worry about repercussions..."? I sure wouldn't.
