(Tony Sifert, Headline USA) FBI Director Christopher Wray bailed on a Senate oversight hearing last week in order to go on vacation, according to a report from Miranda Devine at the New York Post.
You have got to be kidding me.

In yet another example of the deep state’s general disregard for procedural “norms,” Wray rudely rejected Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley’s request for an additional 21 minutes of questioning, claiming that he had a plane to catch.
After spending the entire meeting rebuffing questions about the Russia-gate hoax, Hunter Biden’s “laptop from hell,” and the kidnapping–entrapment case involving Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Wray claimed that he had to leave in order to catch a flight.
“Senator, I had a flight that I’m supposed to be high-tailing it to outta here, and I had understood that we were going to be done at 1:30, so that’s how we ended up where we are,” Wray told Grassley.
After the hearing ended, Wray told Grassley that he had “other business” to attend to.

But, as the Post reported, Wray had no official business at all. Rather, he took his FBI jet to an elitist vacation spot in the Adirondacks.
“The luxury FBI Gulfstream Wray uses was recorded … making the one hour and 12 minute flight later that afternoon to bucolic Saranac Lake in the Adirondacks, which happens to be a favorite summer destination since his childhood, when he used to hike the High Peaks and fish for trout,” Devine wrote.
Devine went on to provide insight into Wray’s elite upbringing that has brought him near the very top of the federal bureacracy.
“Wray, 55, who attended the Buckley School on the Upper East Side and the private Phillips Academy in Andover, Mass., graduated from Yale University, the alma mater of his father, Cecil Wray, who was Adirondack Park Agency Commissioner for 14 years,” Devine reported.
