Exclusive: Oversight Project refers former FBI Director Wray to DOJ for criminal charges | Blaze Media
The watchdog accused Wray of misleading Congress about the apparent cover-up of Chinese election interference and the FBI's anti-Catholic memo.

FBI Director Kash Patel announced earlier this month that the bureau located an intelligence report from August 2020 that detailed "alarming allegations" regarding an apparent Chinese communist plot to interfere in the presidential election for the benefit of then-candidate Joe Biden.
Such allegations, if brought to light at the time, would have vindicated the concerns about voter fraud and foreign election interference then expressed by President Donald Trump and former Attorney General Bill Barr, which were written off by election officials, Democrats, and the liberal media as "unfounded" and "preposterous."
Instead, elements of the intelligence community apparently covered up the alleged foreign election interference campaign.
"Former FBI leadership withheld the facts and misled the public on China's 2020 election interference," Patel stated on Thursday. "And they did so for political gain."
Patel noted in a separate message, "We're restoring trust — through transparency, not politics."

Election interference cover-up
The referral obtained by Blaze News, which was also sent to Director Patel's office on Thursday, alleges that Wray violated federal law by giving false and misleading testimony to Congress on the topic of known voter fraud efforts.
On Sept. 24, 2020, Wray told the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee that the FBI had "not seen, historically, any kind of coordinated national voter fraud effort in a major election, whether it's by mail or otherwise."
On March 2, 2021, Wray suggested to the Senate Judiciary Committee that the FBI was "not aware of any widespread evidence of voter fraud, much less that would have affected the outcome of the presidential election."
The trouble with both statements is that they fly in the face of what the FBI apparently knew about the alleged Chinese communist attempt to swing the election for Biden.

The Oversight Project made abundantly clear in its referral that it was highly unlikely Wray was unaware of this report and the allegations therein when he testified before Congress in 2020 and 2021.
After all, Wray apparently received routine briefings about threats to the integrity of the 2020 election from Nikki Floris, the FBI deputy assistant director for counterterrorism at the time, who had raised the alarm in October 2019 about China "aggressively pursuing foreign influence operations."

When asked to comment on whether he expects Wray to be held accountable for his alleged violations, Howell told Blaze News, "I don't expect accountability, but we certainly deserve accountability."
"Accountability for the bad actors in government would be practically a case of first impression," continued Howell. "To expect it would be unrealistic optimism, but it should and could happen, and that's why the Oversight Project is making the case publicly and doing everything we can to make it more likely to happen."
Commentary:
Is the headline misleading clickbait nonsense? Private groups “making referrals for prosecution” to the DoJ don’t mean jack squat ...
Hearings……..reports……..referrals………and nothing happens.
Biden receives millions from China and Ukraine, Mayorkas ignores the law and opens the border, Pelosi destroys committee records, Wray lies to congress, Capital police lie to congress, James does loan fraud, Willis lies to congress and judicial board and many other, verifiable, easily proved crimes. I guess Bongino is still thinking it is cutesy time.
How about some indictments, trials and convictions!....
Until these bad actors are brought to justice, feel it in the wallet and/or their freedom, there won't be any incentive for future. We can't keep giving a pass because we don't want Democrats to do the same thing to conservatives as the did to January 6'ers and guys like Vallone, Giuliani and Stone....
