evidence: FBI Director Christopher Wray refused to answer legislators’ questions about his agency’s history of corruption and cover-ups and instead doubled down on defending the FBI’s actions against U.S. citizens during a Senate Judiciary hearing on Thursday. [...] "Director Wray, simply put, the FBI’s credibility is on the line, as are principles that helped found and sustain our great nation," Grassley said in his opening statement. [...] Deflection and dodging quickly became the name of Wray’s game. Wray wouldn’t answer Republican Sen. Josh Hawley’s questions about why the FBI is demanding the personal information of concealed carry permit owners despite state laws prohibiting local law enforcement from turning that over. Nor would he answer Hawley’s questions about why the federal government reportedly did not vet hundreds of Afghan evacuees who were on various terrorist watch lists.
