The Federalist: 10 Takeaways From FBI Director Wray’s House Judiciary Testimony
FBI Director Christopher Wray faced questions about the agency's involvement in censoring American speech and its coordination with Big Tech. Wray explained that the FBI assisted the Ukrainian intelligence agency by passing along requests to social media companies to remove accounts spreading Russian disinformation. Concerns were raised about the First Amendment implications of this collaboration and the apparent coordination between U.S. social media companies and foreign governments. Additionally, questions were raised about the FBI's receipt of financial records from Bank of America and the involvement of FBI analyst Brian Auten in the investigation of Hunter Biden. The hearing also revealed ignorance and blind spots from both Wray and members of Congress. Democrats focused on rehabilitating the FBI and attacking Donald Trump, while Republicans questioned Auten's involvement and criticized the FBI's approach to parents at school board meetings. Whistleblowers were also questioned, with Democrats attempting to discredit their testimony. Rep. Adam Schiff was accused of lying about the transcript of Trump's telephone call with the Georgia secretary of state. Pro-life issues were also discussed, with Wray refusing to condemn the use of force in arresting a pro-life sidewalk counselor and correcting the narrative about violence targeting abortion facilities. Overall, the hearing raised concerns about the FBI's actions and highlighted partisan divides in Congress.
Red State: It Sure Looks Like U.S. Attorney David Weiss Has Been Obstructing the Hunter Biden Investigation

It appears that Weiss has been deliberately not pursuing the case, and other officials may be complicit in obstructing justice.
