FBI Director Wray Calls White House Bluff On Rob Porter

[Lakhota]

FBI Chief Disputes White House Claims On When It Heard Of Rob Porter Allegations

Christopher Wray said the FBI turned in a partial report about the domestic abuse accusations nearly a year ago.

WASHINGTON ― The White House’s attempts to explain why it allowed a top aide accused of domestic violence by both of his ex-wives to keep his job took another hit on Tuesday, this time from FBI Director Christopher Wray.

President Donald Trump’s other top aides have been claiming that they did not know about the domestic violence allegations against former staff secretary Rob Porter until recently and that they did not appreciate the full extent of the accusations until photographs of one woman’s injuries were published by news outlets.

But Wray, who was named to that job by Trump, told the Senate Intelligence Committee that the FBI had given the White House a preliminary report on Porter nearly a year ago.

“I can’t get into the content of what was briefed,” he said in response to a question from Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.). “What I can tell you is that the FBI submitted a partial report on the investigation in question in March and then a completed background investigation in late July.”

Wray added that the FBI “soon thereafter” received a request for a follow-up from the White House, which it completed and returned in November.

The FBI closed out its investigation in January, but then received “additional information” in early February, which it passed along as well, Wray said.

White House officials did not respond to multiple requests for comment about Wray’s testimony, which contradicts timelines offered by the White House press office over the past week.

Exactly, I was out of Cabellas with a new 40 cal and the check was done before I could decide on which holster I wanted.

So this woman claims Porter slugged her in the eye. If so that's assault. So why weren't charges brought when it happened? Police can bring charges even if she didn't want to.

This is nothing more than the continuation of the new War on Men and a last ditch effort to fake outrage against Trump.

Wow, this is odd. Yet another post where you're with Democrats after you told me you're not one. I can't seem to find those posts.

That is EVERY administration, honey. Funny how this wasn't a standard for you under Obama. But the reality is, it takes too long to realistically get security clearances for the WH staff. None of them would have staffs until the third year of their term.

And Democrats are leaking like a sieve, which apparently doesn't bother you. The leaks constantly hurt Trump and are from his political opponents. Not you, you're not a Democrat. Can't seem to find those posts. Oh well, I'll keep looking!

Where was your outrage when Hillaryous was attacking women who Bildo raped?

But, keep up the War on Men. Get back to sewing pussy hats.

A private server wasn't against the law or against government policy at the time. The FBI found it reckless. Well, I also consider it reckless to keep a top level aide to the President on staff when he cannot get a security clearance due to criminal behavior in his background.

What a load of crap. And wow, you're with the Democrats ... again. What are the odds? It's like every time since you said you're not one.

Saying a private server wasn't against the rules is like saying it's legal to shoot people from a helicopter because there's no law against shooting people from a helicopter.

Actually, there is a law against shooting people, the helicopter is irrelevant. Yes, it's illegal to shoot people from a helicopter, or anywhere else.

It is also illegal to not secure secret and top secret government documents. From anywhere. It doesn't matter if how you made them insecure was through a server. It was illegal to not secure them no matter how you did it.

Hillary exposed secret information. Yes, that was illegal

Wray said a partial report on Porter was issued in March and a completed report was submitted in late July. The FBI received a request for a follow-up inquiry, provided it in November and passed along additional information earlier this month.

"Soon thereafter we received a request for follow-up inquiry and we did the follow-up and provided that information in November and administratively closed the file in January," he said. "Earlier this month, we received some additional information and we passed that on as well."

Asked if the White House had been informed of the allegations against Porter, Wray said, "I can't get into the content."
FBI followed protocol in Rob Porter background check - FBI's Wray

So, Wray won’t confirm if the White House was informed of the allegations...

How can you make that deduction considering the FBI had looked into the allegations, interviewed the women and Porter about it, and then submitted a complete report on his background check in July and with additional information on something in November.
Yes, it would have been in their report. It was part of Porter's background.

I don't see how Kelly could not know

I agree! We could all appreciate FBI Director Wray's honesty. I sure do.
