FBI Director Wray and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Mayorkas refused to testify publicly before the Senate regarding threats to our national security and border vulnerabilities.
We don’t have a president, an FBI, or a Homeland Security Chief who is answerable to the people.
Committee Chairman Gary Peters said Mayorkas and Wray’s refusal to appear is a “shocking departure” from the 15-year tradition of holding the annual hearing on worldwide threats. In a statement to Fox News Digital, the FBI argued that Wray and other officials have already “testified extensively” in public about threats facing the U.S., and that the bureau “has repeatedly demonstrated our commitment to responding to Congressional oversight and being transparent with the American people.”
“FBI leaders…believe the Committee would benefit most from further substantive discussions and additional information that can only be provided in a classified setting,” the FBI said in a statement.
A DHS spokesman said much the same thing.
We are on the precipice of World War, six caravans heading for the border, and they don’t see any reason to brief the Senate and the people.
Why aren’t they under arrest for contempt of Congress?

Subpoena both of them. If they refuse have them arrested and thrown in prison for six months. Of course this will not happen because the current republicans are spineless.
Subpoena Wray and Mayorkas before Congress and if they still refuse to show up, jail the rotten SOBs. After all, this is what they did to Steve Bannon.
Must be nice to be part of The Ruling Class Elite. And it’s not like anyone within the government or politicians are going to do anything about it. They’re more concerned with ensuring they keep getting rich off the backs of the taxpayers.
We’re in that awkward second before everyone starts shooting…..take cover!

Yeah, I remember one of those Senate hearings when Wray had to cut it short because he had a plane to catch. It was an FBI plane for his personal use and he was going on vacation. What a self centered ass!
