I don't expect a man pushing 80 to know who Fuentes and Milo are, but his security team certainly should have vetted them.

He also said he didn't know who David Duke was.

You're right, he should be up to speed on ex-Klansmen like Duke and Robert Byrd.

He had dinner with Trump in the last year I believe, very normal stuff for a supposed Presidential candidate.

People say and do stupid shit. Are we supposed to be responsible for it if somebody says/does ignorant shit a year after we were at the same dinner as them? Just wondering, because if so I might be fucked.

Still doesn't tell me who the hell he is, tho. Telling me he had dinner with Trump a year or so ago isn't telling me anything. Like I said, never heard of him.

The guy was no different a year ago and you asked if he was anybody of note, which to me you were implying the guy is a moron and doesn't mean anything in the grand scheme.

But the fact that Trump was willing to meet with him in the first place shows he does hold some level of credibility with him and presumably his followers, or at least did.

Nope. Still don’t know who the fuck he is.

And Trump was willing to meet with him? So, this was a personal one on one? Or was it just some fund raising event that anybody willing to pay the price can get into?

Milo (a weird gay conservative from the UK) said he intentionally invited Fuentes because he knew it would embarrass Trump when discovered by the press. He's apparently turned on The Donald since he left office.

I think we can all agree that the kid is fucked in the head and creepy as hell. No 30 year old woman, 16 year old girl or any female for that matter is going to want that guy. He is going to be a 40 year old virgin for sure. Not sure why anyone would give him the time of day other than to mock him.

My God, Christopher Wray is one smug MFer. He's testifying today and it's infuriating. Outright refuses to answer questions posed to him and practically smirks his way through it.

What's that jackass saying?

He was asked about the Louisiana judge's ruling that he was astounded the FBI was actively telling Twitter who and what to censor. He said he hadn't read the opinion and he didn't agree that they did that. The FBI's own man in charge of that testified that's exactly what they did! But Wray just talks around it and says they aren't in the business of doing that. Zero accountability, and he knows there's nothing they can do to him.

Jesus Christ, I'm tired of the two-tiered justice system. They know quite comfortably that they will never be held accountable, so they just flat out lie (See: Fauci)

Maybe I missed something from that clip, but no where did Wray even "passively admit" that there were FBI employees that were "agitators" in the Jan 6 crowd. It's well known that they had infiltrated themselves into the events of the day for intelligence purposes, but no one has proven that any of them instigated the fucking RIOT.

It wasn't a riot.

No one has "proven" OJ did it, either. A jury found him not guilty, right?

 

[Irving Cowboy]

No one proved that the Central Park 5 assaulted a jogger but they all went to prison, right?
