FBI Covered Up Chris Wray’s Perjury

Over time, any organization loses a sense of its original mission and becomes a self-licking ice cream cone. 

I love that image, which was invented by General Pete Worden, who was describing NASA.

What Worden was saying was simple: over time, organizations mutate into things which exist solely to preserve themselves, rather than to accomplish the tasks for which they were created. Whatever they accomplish is merely the excuse they give to ensure next year’s budgets and bonuses. 

The FBI and the intelligence community’s bid to preserve themselves led them to a point where they tried to become a shadow government–a late Roman Empire Praetorian Guard empowered to pick and choose who would be their front man “emperor.” As part of that, they initiated investigations, selectively leaked memos–sometimes about hoaxes–and covered up their own wrongdoing. 

Kash Patel has been uncovering evidence of that corruption and has been handing over documents (quite legally) to Senator Chuck Grassley. Including this tidbit that Catherine Herridge reports:

NEW: Heavily redacted @FBI emails released via  @ChuckGrassley @FBIDirectorKash

•FBI HQ interfered with Albany NY investigation into alleged Chinese 2020 Election Interference

•Designed to shield then FBI Director Wray from political blowback over his Congressional testimony

•Emails suggest FBI HQ was focused on optics, not fact finding two months before the election 

AMONG KEY EMAILS: pg. 23

 “A new 1023 will be needed, that will have updated date of acquisition and contact, with an updated source context statement. AND it will have to run the gamut at HQ for review/approval.

Again, the reporting will contradict Director Wray’s testimony.”

NOTE: FD-1023 is used to record information from confidential human sources

You may recall that Director Wray testified before Congress that the FBI had evidence that Russia was trying to interfere in the 2024 election, while in fact the agency knew that China was trying to do so on behalf of the Democrats. Obviously, this presented the organization with a problem: not only would the revelation harm its current patrons in the Democratic Party, but it would — worse still — harm the FBI’s real mission to secure substantial funding from Congress. 

Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) today released internal Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) emails revealing the FBI suppressed intelligence of alleged Chinese interference in the 2020 election to insulate then-FBI Director Christopher Wray from criticism, after Wray provided inaccurate and contradictory testimony to Congress.

The FBI declassified and provided the requested records to Grassley, along with an accompanying cover letter, after Grassley initially received some information from whistleblower disclosures. The FBI emails offer an inside look at the Bureau’s decision to recall and suppress an Intelligence Information Report (IIR) from the FBI’s Albany Field Office on September 25, 2020. The IIR contained information from an FBI Confidential Human Source (CHS) alleging the Chinese government was producing “tens of thousands” of fraudulent drivers’ licenses to manufacture mail-in votes for then-presidential candidate Joe Biden in the 2020 election. 

According to the FBI, these allegations, despite showing initial signs of credibility, were allegedly never fully investigated due to the FBI’s sudden and “abnormal” decision to halt the investigation and bury the IIR’s existence, preventing any additional FBI field offices, as well as other Intelligence Community elements, from accessing or studying the document. The FBI’s stated reason for doing so was because “the reporting will contradict Director Wray’s testimony.”

It wouldn’t do to have the FBI Director exposed as a perjurer. So they tried to bury the evidence–in fact, most of the evidence was literally wiped from the FBI database. 

In the emails Patel dug up, the reasoning was laid bare: “The reporting will contradict Director Wray’s testimony.” 

Surprised? I’m not. 

The problem isn’t that the original mission of the FBI is bad or unnecessary–it is quite necessary–but rather that the people at the top of the org chart see their mission as defending the agency, not the country. 

It is always thus with organizations that don’t have a self-correcting mechanism. Corporations do the same thing, but when they go off the rails, profits plummet and reform becomes inevitable–or failure. NGOs and the government have no corresponding self-correcting mechanism, although elections can sometimes make a difference. Generally speaking, only scandals can lead to changes. 

The FBI’s anti-Trump crusade will likely lead to massive changes, and while conservatives are impatient to see the changes happen RIGHT NOW, the truth is that it will take months and years to clean things up. Recognizing that there is a serious problem is only the first step in addressing it. 

And address it, they will. But it will be a temporary solution. Not because Patel and Bongino are incompetent, but because organizations always stray from their mission. In the short run, the FBI will get better, but over the years, the same problem will happen again. 

It’s the nature of the beast.
