“The former highest ranking employees in his bureau committed real crimes, and yet no signs that Wray seems to care one bit to bring them to justice, or working to prevent this abuse of power hyperpartisan conduct from ever, ever happening again,' Hannity said on Monday.
Fox News host Sean Hannity heavily criticized FBI Director Christopher Wray for allegedly failing to hold former members of his department accountable over anti-Trump sentiments.
As Hannity spoke, he displayed Trump’s Sunday tweet. “The Democrats new and pathetically untrue sound bite is that we are in a ‘Constitutional Crisis.’ They and their partner, the Fake News Media, are all told to say this a loud and as often as possible. They are a sad JOKE!.” the president wrote. “The former highest ranking employees in his bureau committed real crimes, and yet no signs that Wray seems to care one bit to bring them to justice, or working to prevent this abuse of power hyperpartisan conduct from ever, ever happening again. But in the coming months, justice will be served. We have promised you that. With or without, well, Director Wray’s help,” Hannity concluded.
“I think spying did occur,” Barr told lawmakers on Capitol Hill. “But the question is whether it was adequately predicated. And I’m not suggesting it wasn’t adequately predicated. But I need to explore that.”
