FBI Director Wray Calls White House Bluff On Rob Porter

[kaz]

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.

I like the truth, I'm with you on that Squanto. Of course your indignation is totally feigned here. You wouldn't give a shit if we were talking Obama

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.

Thank you, Director Wray. I applaud your honesty. We already knew the White House was lying about Porter - and you have officially confirmed it.

Tabloid bullshit to begin with. No one cares about this fake outrage over the soap opera except butthurt snowflakes.

Collusion, nope so we'll go with obstruction.

Obstruction, nope so we'll go with the tabloid reporting which is nothing more than the new War on Men.

Pathetic, what the hell does this have to do with the real issues we need fixed?

Get the pussy hats out and get out there and make an ass of yourself some more.

It's just another perfect example of how this administration lies to wriggle out of trouble. And how they have no concern about "security" until they get caught. I.e., Flynn and Porter.
The Trump Admin plays it fast and loose.
To THINK that all you folks were screaming about how badly Hillary endangered national security with her email server, when nothing was ever taken from it, but yet it is okay to have over three dozen staff in the White House without full security clearances.
And before you start your bullshit, no, there is no difference.

Fake outrage, Hillaryous broke national security laws. What national security laws did Porter break?

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.

Activate deflectors ! maximum Hillary’s !!!!

Squanto can't be taken that seriously. He voted for a woman who attacked sexual assault victims and claims to be a "feminist." Then again he voted for the guy who committed those sexual assaults ... twice ...

Bullshit

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.

It was heartening to see the maturity and professionalism of our intelligence professionals yesterday.

They got up there and told the truth, as opposed to .. well, you know - Sarah Sanders.

Great piece by Margaret Sullivan:

She dripped disdain.

She oozed contempt.

“If you were paying attention to what I just read to you . . .” she huffed, like an exasperated teacher reprimanding a classroom troublemaker.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders was responding — though not really — to a reporter’s question that she claimed to have answered multiple times already.

Watching the press secretary at Monday’s briefing, the words that came to mind were these: A new low.

Yes, a new rock bottom from the podium at the Trump White House press briefing.​
