FBI Director Christopher Wray said the gunman who carried out the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump searched on Google, "How far away was Oswald from Kennedy?" a week before the July 13 shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania. The search was in reference to Lee Harvey Oswald, the man who shot and killed President John F. Kennedy in 1963. Wray testified at a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Wednesday.

    Crooks research of the JFK case apparently missed the part where Oswald said "I'm a patsy".
  • @Joshy1313
    Bros planned this stunt and now they're having an interview on live television 😂😂😂 What a joke.
  • @woodstocknun
    FBI continues to run with the official story that Oswald killed Kennedy, how cute.
  • @anthonygordon2976
    How can the FBI say something like “we may never be able
” hiding
  • @jeffreyharrop8856
    That's actually hilarious because how many people still believe Oswald even could have done it?
  • @garywinland1668
    That backhanded comment by Shifty Schiff had no place in this hearing. Seems insincere that he would care about the investigation.
  • @elizknight8262
    Director Wray was much more forthcoming than the head of SS. When something was not yet known--and there is still a lot it appears--he stated what they knew and that they were still investigating.. It is curious to me why head of SS didn't take the same tac. She evaded at every turn when it would have been better to tell the committee something rather than stonewalling.

    They all talk as slowly as possible on purpose to keep the cleptocracy going as long as they can.
  • @user-wb7uj7po3e
    Government will only release information necessary to cover their tracks otherwise they will deflect due to it being an ongoing investigation.

    If you're on one of these committees and you ask a question or infer any sort of political nonsense, beyond the subject at hand, you should be barred from sitting on a committee ever again. This is a hearing to investigate the failures of the secret service and nothing more. Get a life.
