Christopher Wray: I Don't Know If There Were Any Undercover Agents at the Capitol on January 6th. Wait, It's Not That I Don't Know, It's That I Don't Want to Say.

Ooooh, quickly correcting a statement because you realize you just perjured yourself to Congress is tight!

Although he didn't actually correct it. He never took back his claim that he "didn't know" if there were undercover FBI agents present on January 6th. He just added an alternative answer, in case you didn't believe his first one.

So if that's a lie -- and it is -- that lie still stands.

Representative Biggs asked him about undercover agents, and Wray played dumb and pretended Biggs was asking about actual overt police who were present.

So Biggs told him to stop playing dumb.

Wray did not accept the guidance.

Wray played dumb: "Again, I'm not sure that I can give you the number as I sit here. I'm not sure there were undercover agents on the scene."

"I find that kind of a remarkable statement, Director," Biggs claimed. "At this point, you don't know whether there were undercover federal agents, FBI agents, in the crowd or in the Capitol on January 6?"

Wray then changed his tune and claimed he couldn't say how many there were because of ongoing legal cases.

"I say that because I want to be very careful. There have been a number of court filings related to some of these topics, and I want to make sure that I stick with what's in them," he claimed.

"I understand that, but I thought I heard you say you didn't know whether there were FBI agents or informants or human sources in the Capitol or in the vicinity on January 6. Did I misunderstand you?"

"I referred very specifically to FBI agents," said Wray.

"And so are you acknowledging then there were undercover agents?" Biggs demanded.

"As I sit here right now, I do not believe there were undercover agents on the scene," said Wray.

"Did you have any assets present that day?" Biggs shot back.

"In the crowd, when it comes to what you're calling assets or what we would call confidential human sources, that's a place where, again, I want to be careful, as I said in response to an earlier question. There are court filings that I think speak to this that I'm happy to make sure we get to you, assuming they're not under seal, and that can better answer the question," said Wray.

He also said that the FBI's targeting of protesters of r@pe-enabling school boards was perfect.

Of course, morbidly obese liberal grifter and fake tough-guy Chris Christie -- who recommended Wray to Trump for the top spot in the FBI -- continues insisting that his fellow liberal is perfect.

GOP presidential candidate Chris Christie defended FBI Director Christopher Wray as he testified before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday.

"What you saw today, I think was an animated and combative FBI director who's defending the men and women who work for him every day and do a great job and protect us from domestic terrorism, from international terrorism and from these drug cartels and are helping state local law enforcement every day with their things," Christie told Fox News's John Roberts on "America Reports."

"So yeah, I think Chris Wray has done a very good job," he said. "And I think, look, a lot of the stuff you see today, John, is theater, that people trying to raise money for campaigns, doesn't mean there aren't problems at the FBI -- there are. But I believe Chris is a guy who can get it fixed and he's fixed a lot of them already."

He calls the GOP's criticisms of the FBI for partisan bias and election interference "pure theater" and "insane." Video here.
