Wray Refuses to Say Whether the FBI Had Warrants When It Sought Information From Bank of America About Specific Americans' Gun Purchases

Apparently neither Congress or American citizens have any right to ask Justice Chancellor Wray such impertinent questions.

The financial data sought about American citizens concerned gun purchases made January 5th through 7th, 2020 -- searching for gun crimes, without warrant or even suspicion, about Possible Future Insurrectionists.

And the information they sought concerned all Americans banking with Bank of America. All. Every single one. It wasn't just a list of January 6th "insurrections."

It was everyone.

EV-ERY-ONE.

FBI Director Christopher Wray admitted Wednesday the bureau colludes with businesses to collect information on innocent Americans.
...
"George Hill, former FBI supervisor and intelligence analyst in the Boston field office, told us that the Bank of America, with no legal process, gave to the FBI gun purchase records with no geographical boundaries, for anybody that was a Bank of America customer. Is that true?" Massie asked.
"Well, what I do know is that the, a number of business community partners all the time, including financial institutions, share information with us about possible criminal activity. My understanding is that that's fully lawful."
"Did you ask for that information--"
"In this specific incident that you're asking about, my understanding is that that information was shared with field offices for information only. But then recalled to avoid even the appearance of any kind of overreach. But my understanding is that is a fully lawful process," Wray said.
"Was there a warrant involved?"
"Again, my understanding is that the institution in question shared information with us, as happens all the time --"
"Did you request the information?" Massie pressed.
"I can't speak to the specifics."

Wray also lied about not knowing if there were undercover federal agents embedded with the "Insurrectionists."

Whistleblower George Hill says there's no possible way Wray couldn't know about "undercovers" walking among the innocent -- and guilty -- on January 6.
Hill said what "struck me between the eyes" was that Wray at least acknowledged "there were CHS's [Confidential Human Sources] and agents embedded in the Capitol."
"Again, I was the one who brought this to the attention of the Committee [last February] but he actually admitted it," he told WMAL radio host Vince Coglianese.
The host indicated that Wray wasn't sure there were undercover FBI agents in the crowd, to which Hill shot back, "That's a lie, OK?" And then he explained how he would know and how the director would have known: "Having organized multiple high-security events in my time in Boston, one of which was the Boston Marathon which I did for ten years -- organized the security around that event." And he claimed that "the FBI will always embed agents in the crowd in civilian attire." He said they'd do Terry stops when they had reasonable suspicion of a crime. "There's no way -- no way -- [not to have agents in the crowd]. The FBI would have had to violate its own protocol for decades not to have undercovers inside that crowd on January 6. It's not just normal, it's SOP, standard operating procedure."
"So that's a lie?" Coglianese asked.
"Absolutely," Hill confirmed. "I'd look him in the eye and tell him it's a lie. He would have had to have violated his own procedures going back decades [not to have agents in the crowd]."

FBI Director Wray just told me he "does not believe" there were any undercover FBI agents in or around the U.S. Capitol on January 6.

This claim has been already debunked—including by the former U.S. Capitol Police Chief.

Jonathan Turley writes that Wray is defying Congress' right to virtually any information -- and, in fact, is committing brazen perjury.

Yesterday's hearing with FBI Director Christopher Wray was another maddening experience of faux contrition and open evasion. Wray apologized for violations that have already been established by courts or Congress (often over the best efforts of the FBI).

Yes, Wray denies all crimes committed by the FBI until the moment they are proven beyond all reasonable doubt, at which point he says he apologizes for those crimes and Totally Takes Them Seriously You Guys.

And then he starts denying the next series of crimes.

However, on ample public evidence of new violations, Wray continued to use his favorite testimonial trilogy to dismiss any questions: expressing (1) lack of knowledge, (2) ongoing investigations, and (3) promises of later answers or briefings. He did, however, hold forth in detail after Rep. Eric Swalwell asked him about FBI Family Day. Despite the near total lack of substance, Wray did make one surprising denial. He insisted that the FBI does not engage in censorship efforts, focuses only on "foreign disinformation," and does not pressure companies to censor others. Those denials are not only directly contradicted by the recent 155-page opinion of a federal court and the Twitter Files, but a new release from the Twitter Files and journalist Matt Taibbi.
Wray said that "...The FBI is not in the business of moderating content, or causing any social media company to suppress or censor." He then added that these companies are not under any pressure in making their own decisions whether to censor people or groups flagged by the FBI.
The statement is obviously false. The FBI maintained a large operation of agents actively seeking the censorship of thousands, as discussed in my prior testimony.
Taibbi, however, has released another example of how aggressive the FBI was with social media companies. In the latest Twitter Files release, there is one email exchange where Twitter "immediately" suspended accounts flagged by the FBI without investigation.

Taibbi's new Twitter Files entry explains:

"In one shot, you can see the FBI asks to remove three accounts, that gets forwarded to Twitter, Twitter immediately suspends them, the accounts. But more importantly, when there's a glitch, and the accounts remain up, the FBI immediately writes back and says, what's the deal? We just wrote to you, why is it still up? So, that shows the nature of the relationship basically that it's not really a collaboration. It's much more like somebody reporting to an authority.
... [W]hat happens in these instances in the ones that I was showing, they're just forwarding names of accounts that they say are associated with foreign threat actors. It's very vague. And Twitter is taking them down before they even investigate. In this case, they later determined that they couldn't find anything connecting them to any bad actors. In fact, one of them was from Canada. And so, that's the problem. If it's not connected with a crime, they're just asking to take accounts down because they don't like the profile of them."

I thought about that a little more, and it's even more astonishing that I first realized.

At first, I simply recognized Wray was saying he had to keep his lies in order. But there's more. He's saying he recognizes the threat THE COURTS present if he doesn't state his answer in a particular way. He's saying he doesn't need to be nearly as careful in answering questions THE COURTS aren't currently examining. In a slick way, he's saying he does not fear being careless in his Congressional testimony.

I thought about that a little more, and it's even more astonishing that I first realized.

At first, I simply recognized Wray was saying he had to keep his lies in order. But there's more. He's saying he recognizes the threat THE COURTS present if he doesn't state his answer in a particular way. He's saying he doesn't need to be nearly as careful in answering questions THE COURTS aren't currently examining. In a slick way, he's saying he does not fear being careless in his Congressional testimony.

Yes. I've forgotten the exact terminology about which case it is, but "whom" is used when the pronoun is an object of a preposition. (When I was in high school they called it "objective" case, which is probably wrong. But then we weren't studying Latin.)

The construction "To whom did you give it?" makes it clear. "Whom did you give it to?" is the same, more colloquial, but looks and sounds odd.

175 The bit with the banks is based on the "Bank Secrecy Act" which sounds like the bank is protecting you - the consumer, by keeping your information protected - but it's the opposite. That law requires banks to report any activity they deem potentially illegal to the governement.

Posted by: Lucas Electrics at July 13, 2023 01:48 PM (a3Q+t)

219 OT: Working on a story, and I have a question about automobile glass. The car in question is a 1970s Jaguar saloon. Nowadays, auto glass is harder to break, and when you do, it crumbles into little non-sharp pieces (tempered, I think). Would that have been true of a restored '70s Jag? How many blows, say with a pipe, would it take to break one of the door panes, and would the glass have been the tempered type then?

Side windows would have been laminated glass in 1970s Jag models. Tempered glass went into production in the 80s and 90, depending on make and model. As to how many blows, I really don't know. Windscreens today have laminated glass. Maybe you can find resources or videos of front windscreens being hit with pipes.

Yes. Even tempered glass tools require a lot of effort if you don't have the right tool. There are many videos of people hitting tempered glass with hammers or police batons over and over and still not shattering the glass.

I've seen video of meth heads in San Francisco who use glass breaker points or pieces of ceramic from spark plugs to break tempered glass like magic. One common strategy is to push it through the palm of a glove from the inside.

------

I was a firefighter and have performed numerous vehicle extrications. Windshield we generally chop into with an axe, then use a sawzall (reciprocating saw) to cut the glass and laminating sheet away from the frame and peel it all out as one big piece.

Side windows shatter with a little piece of spark plug ceramic tied to a piece of 550 cord and swung smartly.
Or a halligan bar, or an axe, or literally any other hard implement that you would expect would shatter a piece of glass.

I ever encountered a laminated side window. However, the cheapass window tint that some people DIY install into their cars will hold a window together, but it tears easily.

323 If a stolen base is worth a hit (prob more but whatever it isn't worth less prob) then Rickey was better.

Even if a SB is as low as 0.60 a hit Rickey was better.

IIRC Seattle has two public elementary schools that are going to begin offering 'gender affirming care' to students as young as 11. Without parental consent.

I've seen various definitions of 'gender affirming care' and many involve surgery. How's that gonna' work at school is beyond me.

It's a minor point. A character is trying to kill himself by running his car in his closed garage. Deep down he is not really serious about dying, and when my hero threatens the car's new paint job with a screwdriver, the potential suicider jumps out and realizes he's being really silly. If that doesn't work in the scene, i can have my hero yank the hose off the tailpipe, then bash open a back window so he and the guy's wife can drag him out of the car.

Using a pointed object on the glass is a good idea.

This is a sexual fetish.

The only way it stops is for parents to begin pressing charges against everyone involved. Anyone who didn't say "Nope, that's wrong" gets a child sex crime charge and permanent ban from being around children or 1000 yards from a school (or whatever). And has to register on the public lists.

It's the only way this ends.

||Seattle Public Schools Will Offer ‘Gender Affirming Care’ To Students As Young As 11 Years Old At No Cost
Schools in Seattle are currently offering free ‘gender affirming care’ to students as young as 11, a prominent parental rights organization has found – already enraging parents.

The service, laid bare in documents obtained by Parents Defending Education (PDE) this week, is provided by medical provider Country Doctor Community Health Centers – a facility that already offers hormone therapy and sex-change surgeries for adolescents.

PDE announced the arrangement Tuesday, singling out two health centers in particular – both of which are set in Seattle public schools.||
