FBI Director Christopher Wray chose to fan the flames of conspiracy in his House Judiciary Committee testimony Wednesday.

Discussing the July 13 assassination attempt on Donald Trump, he declared: “With respect to former President Trump, there’s some question about whether or not it’s a bullet or shrapnel that hit his ear.”

Huh?

In the hours right afterward, a few outlets raised doubts — but that pretty well was laid to rest by the jaw-dropping picture of a bullet whizzing by Trump’s head.

And it should mean something that Trump, the owner of the ear in question, has firmly stated it was a bullet that clipped him, as has his physician.

And if Wray really wanted to cover his butt, all he needed to say is: Our investigation is still in its early stages; we haven’t tracked the trajectory of every bullet yet.

As FBI director, Wray should be letting the evidence speak for itself, not coyly slinging snark and encouraging the tinfoil-hat crowd.

As a veteran of many a hearing, he knew exactly what he was doing.

The Trump camp is furious, at rightly so: This is yet more weaponization of federal law enforcement against the GOP nominee.

Wray just earned his way out the door (deservedly) if Trump wins in November.
