OPINION:
During his testimony in front of the House Judiciary Committee this week regarding the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump, FBI Director Christopher Wray was asked by Rep. Adam Schiff, California Democrat, whether the FBI would hire a convicted felon (“Trump shooter was ’avid’ gun hobbyist who zeroed in on former president a week before attack,” web, July 24).
Not surprisingly, Mr. Schiff was not remotely interested in the events that led to and culminated in the attempted assassination of Mr. Trump.
While I’m no fan of Mr. Wray, he did his best to deflect an obviously politically loaded question. In an ideal world, the answer would have been that the FBI would consider any patriot whose bogus conviction was overturned by an appeals court. I would have been ecstatic if the answer had been that no one who had lied on multiple occasions to the American people about a bogus Russian collusion effort would be considered for the FBI.
With regard to Mr. Schiff’s fellow California Democrat and committee member Eric Swalwell, I truly hope the FBI wouldn’t hire anyone who had an affair with a Chinese spy.
