Rep. James Comer said that Wray simply letting members of Congress see the document without possessing it wasn’t enough because the FBI could then drag their heels and basically do nothing:

Reporter: “Why do you need the document at hand? You just got a chance to view it … Why move forward with contempt when the FBI says they’re cooperating in good faith?”

John Kirby was asked about the House Oversight report on the allegations against the Biden family, and his answer was not unexpected:

You could see that one coming:
Kirby's body language was loud and clear before he uttered a response.

Kirby’s response is like so much of the lib media — you can’t see something you refuse to look for.
John Kirby believes there are no national security concerns raised by a report he has not read. https://t.co/bTlaHloa0C

So you haven't read the report, and you don't think there are national security concerns?
How would you know that if you haven't read the report? https://t.co/qAa5BxFbFL

The plausible deniability is strong with that one!
NO -he hasn't read it. Then follows w NO -the Biden didn't sell $10million worth of influence.
This can't be real… https://t.co/Auo5SA55U0
