The smugness of the FBI officials is disgusting and disgraceful
👍
No one ever has an answer. Its always someone else working on the question that was asked.
That's government by definition.
She needs to ask him who appointed an idiot to testify.
That was the basis of the comment I was about to make! How can there ever be "Oversight" if the answer is "I dont know" or "I will not tell you"! There needs to be severe punishment for obfuscation and refusal to co-operate!
We The People are "FORCED" to live in their "Upside Down" = Intelligence is Stupid 🔥👏🏼
I thought she did more effective cross-examination than any of the other Republicans I have seen. Even Jordan bloviates for too much of his allotted five minutes. She went right in and didn't stop at the first block. The trained witnesses for the FBI are especially effective at blocking, and she was not buying it. She got some commitments from him and that is more than Congress folk usually get.
What he meant to say is, the FBI is looking into how they got caught how to cover it up and how to make sure they don’t get caught again 👍
There needs to be a more effective process for accountability. If you're pulled in front of congress to discuss a topic in your purview and give "I don't know" answers to basic questions, I say firing on the spot.
They are being questioned about false allegations of nonsense, and of course, they have no knowledge of things that never happened. It's on the committee to find people who are aware. They can't find anybody to back them up because the crimes never happened. Remember "pizzagate"? All false.
Yes. Something had to be done because this is Mickey Mouse and this is not sustainable
Agreed!
Fire everyone that doesn’’t have an answer…after ½ dozen or so are sent home the answers will burst forth like a tornado😊
He KNEW these questions would be asked. Entirely his commitment to lie.
One of America's oldest bigotries coming back in a big way. Tradition by definition is not 'radical.'
valid point
Maryland ?
It is, if you want to fundamentally change a country, as obama stated in his campaign, during his first presidential run. Yes, I did not capitalize his name. He doesn't deserve that respect.
Ah... I see... you don't have a copy of the New Liberal World Order dictionary yet.
@@stephenclements5451 delete liberal , insert Marxist ;-) if it quacks like a duck and walks like a duck.
Every government Bureau and agency is a direct threat to the average American.
A handful of agencies in DC, or 100,000,000 of your neighbors: choose your tyrants. You’ll never be without them.
this guy has exactly zero business being in the position he is in. "I have no idea what my employees are doing" is his only answer to any questions.
Another one - CAN'T RECALL, WE WILL GET BACK WITH YOU IN SOME OTHER YEAR, CAN'T ANSWER THAT IT'S UNDER: A NEVER ENDING, ON GOING, LONG LASTING INVESTIGATION.
Top Agency's are arrogant and disrespectful
Thank you Ms. Lee, god bless and stay safe ma'am 🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏
Thank you Laura for Representing my Great state of Florida !!
All business with intelligent, precise questions, Congresswoman Lee handled this fellow with aplomb and grace. I envy you Floridians for such terrific representation! 👍
@@ellymaschinowrinn8609 Thank you
The FBI needs to go.
The swamp is deep and wide ... Cut FBI funding; replace all the directors
We managed until the 1930's without the FBI and still have no need for them . Shut them down . Save a butt load of cash .
They know these questions will be asked, but always claim it's somebody else and will have to get back with you.
So they're more protective of their employees who are in the process of denying the Constitutional right to religious freedom.
We can’t let you investigate us because we’re busy investigating ourselves!
Lol
The FBI freely harasses innocent Americans but refuses to risk its guilty operatives being known to or potentially harassed by American citizens.
As a person who was raise Catholic, I do not see how any Catholic short of the Jesuits could be called radical. Because of their beliefs about birth control and abortion? help me out here.
Because most people of faith do not easily bow to the notion that government is God. That is why the demoralization campaigns are began two decades before the religious persecutions and purges take place.
I am not Catholic, but have had many Catholic friends and have gone to church with them. I never saw anything radical.
The FBI is targeting ONLY Traditional Catholics. Those are Catholics that have remained faithful to the Traditional Latin Mass before Vatican II. Those groups are the SSPX. The Society of St Pius X and the SSPV. The Society of St Pius V. Those that attend the Mass after Vatican II or what is known as the Novus Ordo mass or the New Order of the Mass in English have nothing to fear from the FBI.
All religions are a threat to this new religion of theirs. They are just starting with the Catholic one.
Also, Dominicans are, and always were, the real radicals in the Catholic church, not Jesuits. It was the Dominicans who created and controlled the Inquisition and the most radical conservative views in the church are still among them today.
Jesuits, on the other hand, were the ones that created Catholic schools in Europe and all over the world, including schools for natives during colonization times. Jesuits became infamous mostly because they became very powerful and very rich and that was what lead to their lost of trust by others back in the 1700s, not only by the church itself but also by the countries (Jesuits controlled most of the schools, governments wanted to stop that). The actual Pope is a Jesuit by the way.
Because the Traditional Catholic Church is the only way to get to heaven the Satanic entities will go after that which is truely from God and not from Man. Evil does not care about religions established by man but evil knows it has to strike at the heart of God in order to try and defeat it. Evil already owns the religions established by man.
When they say they want to protect employees, they mean they want to protect them from accountability.
Just imagine? Telling a judge, that you will get back to there request, when there good and ready! We would be booked and jailed that day! Unbelievable Stuff
Total BS TIRED OF TE TOP OFFICIALS FIRE THEM
I love how Democrats pretend this ~ish isn’t happening
It's all a "conspiracy". Don't believe what you see or hear. The government will tell you what to think and believe
it easy when you set up a system that doesnt attack them.
@@jaimefish173
Dumbing down the public and creating an almost complete media echo chamber (the old "4 out of 5 dentists agree" effect) didn't hurt their cause either.
There still working on what is is, and defining what a woman is……
The Progressive left is authoritarian. They PROMOTE such behavior if it targets they other side.
So in other words, you don't mind going after the weak, you just want to make sure your bully is protected.
This is like interrogating a thief already inside your home!
Ok the FBI has had 30 years of DEI training teaching them to look for extremist under every toaster cozy. The need immediate unconscious bias training to unscrew this. It can work both ways.
If I had enough money I could get them to surveil anybody I wanted them to...
"I don;t know, I don't have that, I don't know...." After the 4th non answer they need to dismiss the person and get the person in who DOES know. There should be a fine levied for stonewalling if their person's position would obviously require or allow them to know..
Ironic how what is supposed to be an elite investigatory body seems to be baffled as to how this memo came to be, who authored it, and why, etc. Amazing. How can they investigate that which they don't have complete control over?
What he said, “There’s an internal review to address those issues…”.
What I hear, “We’re running around destroying documents as fast as we can that proves your point and developing lies and excuses for how those documents disappeared.”
How has this young guy at the top of the fbi
Probably some Dem senator's kid.
Like every job in America works , friends and relatives .
Yes man with connections.
It is always who, not what you know.
"young guy" - He has 20 years on the job as a special agent with service in a lot of long hour/high stress positions with frequent moves. He has an accounting degree and is an attorney, but not from an ivy. He earned his position through hard work. He could have had a comfy career paying better than his government salary. You should thank him for his service.
People know what is going on and we talk about it with our church leaders.
Just defund the FBI.
FBI needs to be held accountable for any crime they commit.
I just want to know when the F they're going to be disassembled.
I wish Forbes would get their logo out of the way so we could read the nameplates of the speakers. They all do this--put things in the way of the picture, and it's really annoying. A little TRANSLUCENT thing in the corner of the screen would be sufficient.
You have to love the New Democrat Language. We need a 1st Edition published very soon. Radical Traditionalist. That's top of the charts! It just doesn't get any better than that one! Birthing person is strong. Minor Attracted Person is also first rate. Those are my favorites. Other examples?
Shut them down
Time to clean house at the FBI
Time to clean House of the 116 election denying traitors in the House.
What's the purpose in setting timelines? Especially, when no one is ever held responsible.
its a show , that is only logic explanation , check videos with Faucci ,what is purpose to shit chat with him after all /? staged how.
Congressman: What is your name and title, for the record?
Bureaucrat: I don’t have the information in front of me, Congressman; but I can get back to you on that.
Someday.
DOJ and FBI disgusting to even think this is an issue with all the other crazy stuff going on...
Sounds like congress needs to codify the timelines/obfuscation of data from our esteemed letter agencies.
That sounds like they’re Hiding things that we should know , but they don’t want to show us ..
Oversight needs to start getting some deadlines established.
Why does it seem that these witnesses sent to Congress to answer questions rarely have any answers? "I don't have the answer to that question; we'll get back to you on that" is the most common response. They should just send me to Congress to answer questions. I can say "I have no idea" with the best of 'em; the difference is I wouldn't be lying.
Obfuscation
They need to issue subpoenas. These letter requests just get ignored.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL. After Gym Jordan et al. ignored subpoenas, a House subpoena is a joke.
Oh no, a grilling. Did they go out for drinks and then Netflix and Chill afterwards?
The questioning by Rep. Laurel Lee was very precise and effective. The "witness" was a typical obfuscator sent up not because he could address the issue, but because he was well trained in evading giving up any information on a subject where the FBI is clearly to the Fascist side of dictatorial.
What, exactly, is a 'radical traditionalist catholic'? lol
its like US citizens concerned for their children's education labelled as "domestic terrorist". And, similar to someone who comments on something and is censored because they are a "national security" threat because they disagree with Biden's policies. Kinda like that.
It's radical not to embrace radicalism with both arms apparently.
Someone who doesn't vote Democrat.
Catholics who believe in large families, traditional family roles and lifestyles, Holy Mass in Latin, the Nicene Creed, and the right to life.
@soupsandwich1 A Catholic who holds true to the unadulterated dogma of the Apostolic Church. One who believes in the Traditional Latin Mass. One who sees error in Vatican 2. It's Catholicism before Freemasons/Communists infiltrated the clergy.
Why did this guy even show up? He gave no information and deflected all requests for information. If the House oversight committee is going to get anywhere, they need to enforce the penalties for not providing the requested information.
Every question answered,,, oohm I oohm have to oohm get back with you!!! If they haven't got back to you yet, they're not going to now!!!
I am damn tired of anti-Traditional Catholic bias, how dare they 😮😮😮
Typical government bureaucrat has to "circle back" on just about EVERY question...
What is the description of "Federal Government"? What is the description of "United States Government"?
Where in the Constitution did Jimmy Carter find the enumerated executive power to create more "executives"? The Senior Executive Service (SES) is a position classification in the civil service of the United States federal government equivalent to general officer or flag officer rank in the U.S. Armed Forces. It was created in 1979 when the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 went into effect under President Jimmy Carter. Bing search: "what law creates senior executive service "
Did he just say he considers congress adversaries? That us the way I heard it.
What exactly is the point of holding these hearings when absolutely nobody will answer a question?
There will be no accountability. There never is. The system no longer works. Just a lot of talk but no action. These hearings are worthless.
And absolutely nothing will be done about any of this, nothing, zippo, nada, zero.
So, the meeting beforehand went like this ... "Who doesn't know anything about anything?" "I don't." "Great, we'll send him".
Disband FBI
Delay delay delay is their corrupt motto.
If you dont have the power to redirect the FBI away from unconstitutional activities, you don't have "oversight."
FBI sounds exactly like Jen "circlr back" Psaki!!!
I’ll get back to you, right.
"I'm not" how surprising
The federal government needs to be dismantled and become a shell of what it is now. States can govern without federal intervention.
Our country is over. Never thought I would see the day.
In other words-We aren’t going to provide you those documents.
It's funny you can't say "Radical Muslim" but it's ok to say "Radical Catholic"
You can say both. The idea is to not assume that an Arab is a suicide bomber any more than a person who worships human sacrifice is a would-be terrorist. Call a spade a spade, but put off slander is the way I think of it.
@@sirrevzalot that would be 'worships A human sacrifice"; coincidental because the Christ is worshipped as Deity, not as a man.
Nice slippery try at misrepresentation though. 👍
I 'll get back to you
We are reviewing
We are studying it
I am not involved
I have no information
We are looking into it
I can not provide that info
at this time
I pray my rosary for these people daily. They have no idea what happened through out history when societies attacked Gods chosen people, Jews and Catholics both.
The FBI needs to be refurbished by firing all and hiring new.
They want us to worth ship them, not God.
He said nothing. Does he write speeches for heels up harris?
Tracy Flick rocks.
Someone get Laurel Lee a pair of reading glasses. Those eyes be straining hard trying to read the notes
Just sad how they are brought in front of a committee and don’t have answers so let me circle back with a doctored answer!
Nice to know the FBI has it out for Catholics.
They threw this poor boy under the buss, causes he's just an empty suit
Laurel could've saved taxpayers a lot of money by asking Christopher these questions with a phone call.
Is he who sits on Jeff Dunham’s lap?
Drain the swamp already. America is waiting for the impeachments across the board. Please expedite this before it's too late!
It’s refreshing that somebody can say yes and no! You get through the questions much faster when you do that! He had to get back to her about some of the answers but at least he didn’t dodge the questions!
He was most likely the patsy, sent by the ones with knowledge, because of his lack of knowledge.
What does this guy actually know? Shouldn’t some kind of Litmus Test be required. He sounds like he may need help finding his office.
This country no longer represents the dynamics of the vision/s of its founders. It no longer has my loyalty.
Are they Traditional Radicalists or Radical Traditionalists? Perhaps they're Radical non-radicals but that would sound dumb.
I’m confused what this “radical Catholics” if he referring to. Like I agree there are many forms radical Christianity but one can’t just investigate a religion by just calling it radical. It needs to be more specific on the “radical” actions in-order to investigate.
So as much I would love to have an investigation on these radical Catholic actions, I would the FBI/gov to be more trasparente and specific.
What is a radical Catholic? Would it be a Catholic who forgives his enemy and turns the other cheek? I think this is very aggressive!!!
Oh for god sake when is someone going to be accountable for what they have done/ been a part of or take some responsibility when it has happened on their watch.... TOTAL JOKE....
STONEWALLING, LET ME GET BACK TO YOU NEXT YEAR OR SO. OR NEVER!
I would wholly support the way to get an answer from these government types. It’s called WATER BOARDING.
Shut the FBI down right now
Sorry, but the appropriate question is not "When will we get those documents?", the appropriate questions is "It's been a month since we requested these documents. Why do we not have those documents now?"
I I I don't have a fukn clue!!!
All these radical Catholics and religious groups should be held accountable!
All these Doctors cutting off children's private parts should be held accountable for that, all these letting convicted murderers go free to do it again and again should be held accountable for that also.
Congress must eliminate the FBI.
Sqeezing beads very scary. Duh.
Is Meryl Streep in Congress?
