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. |

Ah. donuts your interpretation of his comments, as opposed to his explicit comments, that would suggest i was confused. 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.

Wray: “when i read the letter that describes the kinds of things you’re talking about, i found it deeply troubling.”
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 thing s 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.

Your deep in the cult even if you won’t admit it.
Last time I checked The IRS Criminal Investigation special agent job
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 ..
But but the IRS

how would you go about demonstrating that you’re not in a cult? for the 1,000th time, can you list some big policy issues in which you agree with conservatives? or do you ( despite NOT being in a cult) think liberals are correct on every single, solitary issue?
you said republicans want a brutal fascist big federal government to impose sharia law. 5 minutes later you said they want no rules so that it’s every man for himself
but you’re not in a cult.

$46B of the $80B that is in the bill is specifically earmarked for the hiring of agents. The median income for IRS agents is $55,937 a year, which come out to roughly 83,000 agents hired. So the 87,000 agents # being thrown around is pretty close

So you show up again peddling 1/2 truths like your buddy shocking
In your own provided link
The department estimated in a 2021 report that the funding may cover about 87,000 employees, which has been widely reported. However, these hires may include a range of positions, such as auditors, customer service and IT workers, the Treasury clarified in a statement to CNBC on Wednesday.
Let me guess you missed that part
