 |  You can use the google. He looked to be commenting on an agent who was making some social media posts that he didn’t like but had nothing to do specifically with Hunter Biden. |

And we are all shocked that your interpretation of his comments, has a pro hunter biden result.  No one saw that coming.  
 
If the gop takes the house ( more of an if than i’d have thought), we will 
see.  No matter what facts get revealed,, we all look forward to your creative spin and denial.

Things, plural.
 
the letter includes claims of the FBIs social media posts and allegations they buried the Hunter Biden affair.
 
Yup, i’m the one who is confused.

 |  You’re correct, you’re confused.
 
Kennedy grilled Wray on Thibault’s alleged partisan actions on social media over the past few years, such as “liking” a Washington Post article titled “William Barr has gone rogue” and tweeting to Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) that her father — former Vice President #^^^^& Cheney — was a “disgrace.” Kennedy also mentioned Thibault’s retweet of a Lincoln Project post saying that “Donald Trump is a psychologically broken, embittered, and deeply unhappy man.”

 |  Kennedy grilled Wray for the FBI agents social media posts, AND for the allegation that the same agent didn't want to look into Hunter.  2 things.  And Wray referenced things  that were deeply troubling to him.
 
The "s" at the end of "things", means plural. |

 |  Yet Wray who heads the FBI has done nothing public in the Hunter case why do you think that is. 
 
Please don’t say Biden because Of Trump a sitting POTUS a an not be charged with a crime ( and Iam not saying ones been committed)
 
2 it’s called chain of custody. It’s a real thing.  No court or judges are going to allow that laptop which has been handled by so many conservatives and Republicans Biden Haters  it makes Jeffery Epstein look like an alter boy . And if they do any good defense lawyer will have a field day
 
Hunters investigation has entered its final stages, prosecutors have narrowed their focus to tax and gun-related charges, the people say.
 
Wow getting a gun   No Republicans care about gun laws 
 
And now Republicans care about Tax evasion   Or just Hunters 
 
Do you make $75,000 or less?” tweeted House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy. “Democrats’ new army of 87,000 IRS agents will be coming for you—with 710,000 new audits for Americans who earn less than $75k.” Richard Grenell, Trump’s former Acting Director of National Intelligence, wrote on the social media platform: “The FBI raids Trump’s house and the Democrats vote to add 87,000 new IRS agents to go after Americans. Wake up, America.”
 
But they won’t tell the Truth. They can’t 
 
includes roughly $78 billion for the IRS to be phased in over 10 years. A Treasury Department report from May 2021 estimated that such an investment would enable the agency to hire roughly 87,000 employees by 2031. But most of those hires would not be Internal Revenue agents, and wouldn’t be new positions.

Is not a generic IRS agent. But again more conservatives  1/2 truths 
 
But of course you have no issues with cops use if deadly force.  Even against the unarmed ..
