It's been an interesting day for FBI Director Christopher Wray. He was testifying before the Senate Judiciary Committee Tuesday on a variety of topics pursuant to their oversight capacity.
Wray laid out how the threat level was at an "all-time high," which is concerning. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) grilled him on the politicization of the Bureau and the DOJ in regard to the investigation into the alleged corruption of Joe and Hunter Biden. Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA), meanwhile, cornered him on why they didn't tell people that the laptop was real, and Wray's answer was horrible.

But that wasn't the only important topic that the Senate hit on.
Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) then went into the Jeffrey Epstein case, demanding to know why the FBI had refused to follow up on complaints from alleged victims of Epstein who had information that might be helpful to the case.
That's a great question. I'd be curious to know what the FBI's justification for that was.
Additionally, she wanted the Epstein flight logs. She previously tried to get the Democrats to subpoena them, but Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) blocked the effort. That led people to ask what the Democrats are trying to hide regarding Epstein.
Blackburn said Durbin was even trying to pretend on Tuesday that he wasn't aware that she'd asked for a subpoena for the flight logs.
We reported her request at the time, and Durbin shut it down while Democrats voted to drop subpoenas on conservatives Harlan Crow and Leonard Leo in their never-ending fishing expedition to undermine the Supreme Court.
Marsha Blackburn DemandsAnswers About Covering Up of Epstein Flight Logs
Wray said he hadn't dealt with the case in a while but would consult with the people on the matter and see if he could get back to her with more information. That's probably the most he's said all day in terms of providing any real answers. Most of the day, especially when the matter dealt with Hunter or Joe Biden's corruption or why the FBI didn't say the laptop was real, he said "ongoing investigation" or stonewalled. Does that mean there is no ongoing matter in regard to those involved with Epstein? That would raise another question if there weren't.
Former President Bill Clinton flew on the Epstein plane 26 times. There are all kinds of names on the flight logs. Blackburn said the American people deserve the answers and that such trafficking rings need to be dealt with. She's right; it's long past the time that we should have had the answers to this. Everything leaks -- except the lists as to the folks involved with Epstein.
