FBI director treated public like 'chumps' with 'maddening' House testimony, Jonathan Turley says

Fox News contributor urges Republicans to turn up the heat on the FBI following Director Christopher Wray's "obviously false" testimony on censorship.

JONATHAN TURLEY: It was a false appearance of contrition and substance from the director. You know, he only apologized for things that are violations that have already been found by courts and Congress, by the way, against the best efforts of the FBI. And so for things that are already established, he went ahead and said, well, we'll never do that again. But in terms of the violations that we've already laid out, in terms of censorship, FISA violations with the secret court, those are already laid out in the public record. He just refused to comment. Sometimes he said that he didn't have any recollection and it was a maddening experience… Congress has to make a decision here. You know, they just went through an entire hearing where they were given nothing. He was far more detailed when Eric Swalwell asked him about the FBI family day. With that he just held forth at length. But when he's asked about censorship, he gives answers that seem rather obviously false. You know, he said that the FBI focused on foreign disinformation. That's just not true. I mean, we have the emails. I mean, at some point you're treating the public like chumps. 

…

They've got to start using subpoena power. They've got to start to insist on production. The Republicans are playing a harder game now, but they're going to have to ramp it up. They're going to have to be more nimble in these hearings and more aggressive in pursuing this material.
