Whoops! Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA), the only Member of Congress that we know of who has been dumb enough to have sex with an obvious Chinese honeypot spy, probably shouldn’t have asked FBI Director Christopher Wray if January 6 was a real insurrection. But he did!
Swalwell asked Wray the question in a committee hearing on Thursday, which forced the FBI Director to finally tell the truth: No, the January 6th protests were not an “insurrection” under any legal definition of the word. If Wray had claimed it was an insurrection, he’d have been perjuring himself under oath. (Spoiler alert: Eric Swalwell is not a very smart attorney.)
Other than that stunning admission, the rest of FBI Director Wray’s testimony was either evasive or noncommittal when it came to talking about the mostly peaceful protests of January 6th. Wray is still insisting that many of the protesters were “armed,” and told Congress that “more significant charges” are coming in the near future for more protesters.
While keeping a straight face, Wray described some of the “weapons” that were carried into the US Capitol by Trump supporters:
Kevlar (not a weapon), tactical vests (not a weapon), and bear spray (technically a defensive tool that no criminal in human history has ever used to carry out a crime).
Recognizing that as a BS answer as to whether the Trump supporters were armed, Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX), who is not an idiot like Rep. Eric Swalwell, asked Wray, “Firearms? Anybody bring firearms?”
This forced Christopher Wray to deliver an answer that can only be described as technically not a straight-up lie, but definitely bureaucratic nonsense-speak:
“I can think of at least one instance where there was an individual with a gun inside the Capitol, but for the most part, the weapons were weapons other than firearms.”
We know from all of the unsealed indictments that there were only three people arrested in DC on January 6th on firearms charges. One was a person who showed up near the US Capitol several hours after the protests were over. It’s unclear whether this person was a Trump supporter at all, or just a guy who picked a really bad time to go for a walk near the Capitol while carrying a concealed weapon.
Another was a Trump supporter who had a gun locked inside his vehicle several blocks away from the Capitol.
He left his gun in his truck while he went to the Capitol, and a nosy DC cop spotted it as he was walking by. The police then waited and arrested the unarmed Trump supporter on a gun charge when he came back to his truck.
So yes, technically, he was “in the Capitol.” And yes, he “had a gun” (locked in his vehicle several blocks away from the protests). But he did not have his gun “inside the Capitol,” as the charges against him patiently explain.
A third individual, a man from Maryland, was caught carrying a concealed firearm “on Capitol grounds” on January 6th. But that guy is not accused of actually entering the Capitol building.
Out of the three gun arrests on January 6th, none of the cases involved a gun actually being carried inside the US Capitol. Some insurrection!
But then the hearing got really exciting. Jim Jordan jumped up on a desk, pulled out a pair of six guns and started firing shots into the ceiling like Yosemite Sam while shouting, “Let my people goooooo!” Thomas Massie ripped off his jacket to reveal a suicide vest as he grabbed Christopher Wray in a headlock. Resistance leader Kevin McCarthy then strode into the hearing chamber and began reading a list of demands, starting with the release of all the Trump supporters being tortured in solitary confinement in the DC jail.
Oh, wait. No, that didn’t happen. Most of the GOP Members just sat there like lumps while waiting their turn to ask lukewarm questions that sort of played down the January 6 events a little bit. None of them grilled Wray about the Trump supporters who are currently being forced to wipe their butts with their fingers, because the Department of Justice is denying them toilet paper and other amenities.
The hearing was mostly a bust, with no fireworks from any of the Republicans. But at least Eric Swalwell managed to undermine the Democrats’ cause, by getting the FBI Director to finally admit that it wasn’t an insurrection.
Wray is still saying the peaceful protesters were Armed. Name the ones that were Armed!! If their were any. We have the right to learn of the Armed Peaceful Protesters do we not? Those Idiots that makes the “Armed” claims can’t name one person that was Armed that day.
Here we are right back with the claims of Abuse of the imprisoned
Protesters. Five months later, how long does it take to get these people a Fair and Speedy Trial?, if their is such a thing as a Fair and Speedy Trial.
I haven’t heard of a Trial Date to this date!
I have lost all Faith in this Countrys Systems and Processes of our Just Laws.
Well, well finally and hope this puts an end to all the false narratives about what happened at the capital.
As my dad would have put it “Making a mountain out of a mole hill”
Look at how long it took to get the truth there was no Trump-Russia collusion, and still many dumb Americans think there was.
Backed up by a phoney made-up all-lies dossier funded and paid for by the elect/elite Clintons. Called the Steel Dossier. Same above-the-law elitists, who sold our uranium to Putin was it? And they’ve all been getting away with anything and everything to distract from the real take-over. Ever since!
Bunch of bullshit if you ask me they weren’t there to cause harm till they had to defend the reserves from the loser democrats that cause the whole shit not Trump demorats
The FBI and CIA have been weaponize against the people there put of the problem. The true enemy of America are Democrats along with some Republican. This is why the founding fathers gave us 2nd Amendment. I’ll never surrender my firearms they will have to kill me.
These are political prisoners being held and punished for their political beliefs.
Welcome to the new America, being run by the deep state, and is no longer a Constitutional Republic , but is now a Socialist, Marxist entity.
The next time you step out of political line, you will experience the same treatment as in places like China. Or you will simply disappear .
Dot, I am fearful that it will take a real insurrection to change things. Democrats think laws are only to punish republican adversaries, and in order to really punish them the truth does not matter. I am getting sick and tired of this one way justice. I can name a ton of democratic wrong doings but not a single attempt to prosecute or otherwise bring them to justice. Looks like the only way we can get justice is punish them at the ballot box and if it takes poll watchers with loaded assault weapons to stop their cheating then so be it.

They are political prisoners just like North Korea, Russia, Iran, China would do to their citizens –this country is going down a terrible road and for Wray he is a liar and a deep state operative——
I thought that Democrats called it an erection? “I can think of at least one instance where there was an individual with a gun inside the Capitol, but for the most part, the weapons were weapons other than firearms.” Was that firearm used to murder a protestor?
You mean a protestor like Ashli Babbit? If so, the answer is yes, and the shooter was a capitol policeman. And it was murder, made obvious by the video of which many have a copy. And the dragnet stretches far and wide, but they still can’t tell us the name of the murderer. But at least he was wearing a mask, so I am sure Joe was happy.
If Christopher Wray has kids I would like to know who helped him impregnate his wife since it’s obvious that he doesn’t have the equipment to do it himself! Why does a lying POS like this have the ability to take away your liberty? I believe that people like him are one of the reasons that police officers are being attacked! I’d like to see him put on a uniform and patrol the worst part of a major city. Again he doesn’t have the physical equipment to do something like that. Does he sing soprano in the glee club?
I think this is the best thing Christopher Wray has done since he has been in office.
It must be really hard to be in charge of that office,
especially with all the madness that has been going on in America. I hope that Mr. Wray not only finds out who the real criminals in that so called riot were but I also hope that he sets up a “special team” to go after Hunter Biden, if not, then the whole office should shut down and they should all go home because we are just wasting money on personnel that would be completely worthless. Sixty million dollars from a
foreign country is a serious matter and never should
be left unchecked. NO ONE is above the law, NO ONE!
In my opinion what Hunter Biden did was a lot more
SERIOUS than the American people showing up at the Capitol that day try to fight for a stolen election.
If a person can come home with that kind of money, they can con anyone and that is more of a crime than any insurrection of trying to fight for a stolen election. I know there were some people who did things the wrong way that day and they deserve to be punished for their actions but if you any go after these people and let Hunter Biden go free than shame on you FBI, shame on you.
Barbara —- wray is NOT going to do anything !!!!! He is part of the communist movement and no better than comey,mueller,clapper, brennan, piglosi,upchuck,clintons,obamas, soros and the rest of the scum who are trying to turn us into a 3rd world toilet bowl. You people need to come to the realization — it is US(the real American citizens) against ALL of our government its agencies,juducial system,military brass, both houses of congress — get the point yet ????????
” I know there were some people who did things the wrong way that day and they deserve to be punished for their actions ”
For any one Trump supporter person who may have stepped over the line on January 6th there was 500 BLM and Antifa supporters. How many of those are in Jail ? And what roll did the BLM and Antifa play in the Jan 6 event ? they were certainly there, and video shows they were active participants of at least damaging windows. They also acted as instigators of illegal acts.
Not going to happen. Christopher Wray is part of the progressive machine. He has done NOTHING to indicate otherwise.
The real insurrection is by all the commie instigating dem leaders since biden stole a dictator role to destroy U.S. Constitutional Freedom & Rights while destroying U.S. National Security ! Appears as bo, biden shadow treason !
The Republicans should be demanding that the people in jail be given a fair and impartial hearing. The BLM rioters were put back on the street to do it again. How is that justice. This is America let’s act like Americans. Release them immediately.
Our government and the federal bureaucracy is completely corrupt and sold out to Communism. It’s as obvious as if they had stood on a pedestal and loudly proclaimed it. WHAT COMPLETE FOOLS that support them all! But, you know, Free Stuff and Reparations after they finish off the Constitution. LOLOLOLOL!!!
Why anyone believes anything that micro-brain Swalwell says is a mystery to me. Remember, he’s the guy who said the government has plenty of nukes while all We the People have are rifles and pistols.
So, Eric, ramble on some more about Government of the People, By the People, and For the People.
Oh, and nice job of checking out, AGAIN, GOP. If you people turn any more YELLOW they’ll lock you all in a Jaundice Isolation Ward. The Democrats are releasing tens of thousands of hard core CRIMINALS back into the streets, importing thousands more without being verified, then locking selected US CITIZENS in prisons without being charged, without representation or trial in direct and open violation of the Constitution. The Scum-Sucking GOP is even lower than the Democrats as far as I am concerned!
Maybe they’ll get together and write more letters to people who don’t care what they think. Yup, that’ll get ’em!
How anyone could take Eric Swalwell seriously is beyond me. Even before I knew he slept with Fang Fang the Chinese spy I knew he was about as unaccomplished person as there is. That people actually elect this idiot slimeball to congress is the problem. We have become so comfortable, we’ve become stupid. Some day that will end. Its been a good run.
Yes , what insurrection?
This is just another example of a two tiered system.
WHY ARE THE REPUBLICANS HELPING THE PEOPLE WHO ARE ILLEGALLY BEING HELD IN JAIL, WHERE THEY ARE BEING ABUSED????????????
MEANT TO SAY WHY ARE THEY NOT HELPING????
Live harvested Christopher Wray skin butt cushions for sale … CHEAP
It is a tragedy that the supposed most elite law enforcement agency in the world cannot tell the difference in an armed insurrection and a group of dissatisfied people. Nothing but a set up to try a discredit President Trump. They all should be fired and disqualified from ever performing law enforcement duties anywhere put someone in that is impartial and honest!!!!!
Why do the Demorats continue to spend our tax money on their witch hunts without any real reasons and without any prosecutions of President Trump? Why does the DOJ NEVER prosecute those that were responsible for the Mueller Investigation? Why do the Demorats continue to lie and NEVER be brought to justice without any recourse whatsoever? We need to get rid of all of the players in the government who are fighting FOR Socialism and NOT fighting for America and liberty and justice for all. Prosecute Wray, Comey, Mueller, Horowitz, Brennan, Clinton, Biden, Pelosi, Schumer. Nadler, Schiff, Roberts, Zuckenberg, Dorsey, Rosenstein, Clapper, Ohr, Lynch, Rice to name a few. Americans own America not these clowns and we demand they be brought to justice NOW !!!
Here’s to you Linda. I will drink to that.
My question is — why is the director of the fbi(an agency that is supposed to be part of LAW ENFORCEMENT) trying to hide the truth from Americans. He is nothing but a carry-over of comey,mueller and clapper and should be fired and then indicted for obstruction of justice. wray is nothing more than a cheap,petty,libtard communist POS !!!! As for the republican party members — why haven’t they been jumping up on desks, yelling and screaming to get to the truth. The ONLY person who brandished a gun was the so-called cop who FOR NO GOOD REASON shot and killed Ashley Babbit. I must get 100 requests for donations from the repubs –donate to what— a party who turned their backs on the best President this country has had in over 100 years, a party who cowers in the corner whenever a communist democrat speaks, a party who did exactly nothing when they had both houses of congress — donate to what ???????? We need to dump the whole of congress and start anew with real Americans.
So there was no insurrection, nobody really had a firearm in the Capitol, and the FBI had plants with the crowds and facilitated the problems! Why are the people still under arrest if they didn’t do anything and why are they denied their rights and humanities if they were detained with no probable cause?? Why aren’t the FBI under investigation if this was an inside job and they caused it? Did Pelosi plan and collude this to entrap Trump supporters and if so, when will she be arrested for treason?
It was ALL Staged by yours TURELY Demo Demons of the Democratic Socialist Party and PELOSI and SCHUMER. This was ALL planned out by the Democratic Party to remove POTUS Donald J. Trump. They Stole the 2020 Election right from under Trump s feet. And the thing is that they are Still LYING about it 5 Months after.
Every DAMN Deplorable and Deranged Parasite needs to be looking out behind BAR’S in a FEDERAL PRISON.
Save an commend ICE & Border patrol ! Fire an disband FBI & DOJ !
NONE OF WHAT WE HAVE TO SAY WILL EVER ACCOMPLISH BRINGING THE ONES TO JUSTICE, WHO ARE AS GUILTY AS JUDAS WAS IN BETRAYING JESUS AND AS GUILTY AS PETER WAS IN DENYING HIM ! ! ! WE ALL KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT THE 2020 ELECTION BEING STOLEN BY VOTER FRAUD IN EVERY FORM POSSIBLE – – – THE LYIN’ SITTIN’, ILLEGITIMATE WICKED, EVIL, SOCIALIST, AND CRIMINALLY TREASONOUS PRESIDENT ADMITTED IT ON NATIONAL TELEVISION – – – IF THAT ALONE DOESN’T BRING ABOUT PROOF ENOUGH OF ALL THE VOTER FRAUD THAT ACTUALLY DID TAKE PLACE, NOTHING WILL ! ! ! THE SCOTUS AND ALL OTHER JUDICIAL AND LEGISLATIVE PARTIES ARE SPINELESS TO DO WHAT THEY ARE IN PLACES OF LEADERSHIP TO DO. THEY HAVE EITHER BEEN THREATENED TO LOOK THE OTHER WAY OR HAVE BEEN BOUGHT OUT BY THE GUILTY ! ! ! I SMELL A CIVIL WAR ON THE HORIZON – – – IT’S TIME TO PUT A STOP ONCE AND FOR ALL TO THE TREASONOUS EFFORTS BY THE SOCIALIST LEFT AND MAKE THEM ACCOUNTABLE FOR WHAT THEY HAVE DONE AND ARE CONTINUING TO DO TO THIS NATION AND HER CITIZENS WHO ONCE STOOD FOR CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES WITH A GOVERNMENT LEADING WITH INTEGRITY. MAY GOD’S WRATH LIGHTEN UP ON US SOON AND BEGIN BLESSING OUR NATION ONCE AGAIN — AND SOON ! ! ! WE NEED HIM BACK IN OUR HOMES, OUR SCHOOLS, OUR WORK PLACES AND IN OUR CHURCHES. IT’S OBVIOUS THAT THIS ADMINISTRATION ISN’T INTERESTED IN DOING THAT. JERRY NADLER MADE THIS STATEMENT IN THE CAPITOL NOT VERY LONG AGO: “GOD’S WILL HAS NO PLACE IN THE CONGRESS !!!” HE SHOULD BE SO ASHAMED OF HIMSELF FOR LETTING THOSE WORDS PASS HIS LYIN’ LIPS – – I’M SURPRISED GOD DIDN’T STRIKE HIM DEAD ON THE SPOT ! ! !
This deep state swamp rat, wray lies with a straight face, and thinks were stupid enough to believe his malarky,a narcistic,corrupt,bald face liar. The FBI needs to be restructured or eliminated totally, until they get their act together, and do their job. Time to put ICE in place of the FBI, so we can feel safer in this country, since the FBI seems to be a bystander and let’s everything happen, then says told u so.
Dir. Wray for all practical purposes is the defacto leader of our country. He has every one in DC running scared. After all he listens to no one ( well maybe Soros, Obama and our foreign enemies) but otherwise no-one. He ignores document released demands issued by Trump, covers up evidence of foul play and delivers threats against the political right without fear of reprisal, warrantless searches, warrantless spying, and illegal detainment of citizens on political grounds denying their rights to appear before their accusers or even know what crime they are sccused all while illegally withholding 10000 hours of public video of public places; videos which are exculpatory evidence denied from scrutiny. There is only one take away from this incredibly crooked FBI director and his dirty cops: they have violated their oath of office, partivlcipate in a coup to overthrow President Trump, and now serve as the Federal State Gastappo for the Neo -Nazi Democrat Totalitarian thugs who in fact did carry out an insurrection on Jan 6, INSIDE the Capitol when they certified illegally enacted and illegally administered elections from States where Constitutional law was ignored and the citizens rights denied. America, FBI Director Wray is a criminal ! Make sure your local police are loyal to your town and not the Federal traitors
Wray has managed to forever ensure the FBI as a corrupt, untrusted, and dishonest agency. His epic failure to hold accountable the Trump Hoax conspirators and purge the political activists from his HR department and the ranks of the FBI has left a stain of blood on the agency and rendered it illegitimate in the minds of half the country. His most important task was to restore the integrity of the agency by making the malpractice transparent and hold the criminals under him to account publically. But he has done nothing but obstruct , coverup and minimize the massive corruption, and what is now clear he has instead acted to promote the furtherance of even more police state abuses with no regard for the Constitution. He must be removed and the entire agency dismantled, it has been a tool of mobsters not a defender of freedom
What committee is it and which republicans sit on it/ are present?
MalcolmX“The white liberal is the worst enemy to America, and the worst enemy to the black man.
Either Malcolm Little was ignorant or he avoided saying what he really meant about the identity of the “white” liberals who began, funded and populated the organizations that pushed the ‘liberal’ (read tyrannical oligarchical) agenda in Western, Christian nations since the days of the Jacobins.
what a bunch of idiots to believe this stupid trash, get over it, get a life
I don’t care what Webster’s dictionary says the meaning of an insurrection is….
it was exactly that and for anyone with half a brain to try and hide behind an antiquated definition is truly an IDIOT…
Swallwell doesn’t need to be “a smart attorney”. He’s a sayanim.
