President Trump has repeatedly called the special counsel investigation into potential coordination between his campaign and Russian election interference efforts a “witch hunt.”

On Wednesday, his nominee to lead the FBI, Christopher Wray, indicated that he does not agree. “I do not consider Director Mueller to be on a witch hunt,” Wray said under questioning by Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC).

During the hearing, Wray revealed his willingness to disagree not just with the president but with his predecessor James Comey, who he criticized for holding a press conference last summer on the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s e-mail server even though no criminal wrongdoing was proven.

“I can’t imagine a situation where I would give a press conference on an uncharged individual,” he said. “I can’t think of a time where anyone in the FBI, much less a director, provided derogatory information about uncharged individuals.”

2. Trumps like to hunt

According to the pictures of their sojourns in Africa but they hate to be hunted. But the hunt is on now so they better watch out.

3. Was the false information Comey used against Hillary provided

by the Russians at this meeting? - you can research that question online and come up with so many stories - to hear Wray express criticism of Comey and Comey's "press conference on an uncharged individual" is breath taking...

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) called it “stunning” that former FBI Director James Comey would publicly discussed his findings in the Hillary Clinton email probe as a result of Russian intelligence that Comey knew to be false.

“I can’t imagine a scenario where it’s OK for the FBI director to jump in the middle of an election based on a fake email generated by the Russians and not tell the Congress,” Graham said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
