I agree that what Wray said yesterday is being misrepresented in the news media. Shaheens question was framed in such a way to get the sound bite “ that’s not the word I’d use.” She limited the question to only applying to terrorists and criminals and only “ if proper procedures” were followed. Not applying to the opposition political party and when procedures were NOT followed.
A “bombshell” report on former FBI Director James Comey is coming out in two weeks, attorney Joe diGenova said on Wednesday [April 24 — 2 weeks ago].
And it is amazing how many people just swallow whole whatever the Fake News says. You’d think people would have learned by now.
True that Wray’s careful words were misrepresented, but his words revealed him as being a derpish weasel who was dissing his boss while giving the dems a soundbite he knew they wanted. Had he not been a derp, he could have said that “given your premises, when the FBI listens to phone calls of criminals and terrorists through authorized warrants, we usually call it surveillance. However, spying is sometimes used as a synonym for surveillance, as the dictionary can attest.”
