Staff Reports
FBI Director Chris Wray recently displayed a stunning lack of clarity when he addressed the House Judiciary Committee regarding the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump. In quite a baffling statement, Wray suggested there was some ambiguity surrounding whether it was a bullet or shrapnel that struck Trump’s ear. This is astonishing, considering Trump’s personal physician had clearly determined that a bullet was the cause of the president’s injury. Meanwhile, photographic evidence had already captured the very moment the projectile zoomed straight for Trump’s head, leaving conflicting narratives sounding like the stuff of conspiracy theories.
The absurdity of Wray’s remarks was further underscored by Senator John Kennedy from Louisiana, who took it upon himself to grill FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate with his signature wit. In a brilliantly humorous exchange, Kennedy posed the question that many Americans were likely pondering: could it have been a murder hornet? Or perhaps space aliens? For those who are tired of political correctness-strangling humor, Kennedy’s unabashed quips brought a refreshing dose of reality to a surreal situation.
SEN. JOHN KENNEDY: "Is there any doubt in your mind or in the collective mind of the FBI that President Trump was shot in the ear by a bullet fired by the assassin?"
FBI DEPUTY DIRECTOR PAUL ABBATE: "There is absolutely no doubt in the FBI’s mind … There never had been."

What’s almost comical about this whole debacle is how the FBI’s credibility is sinking faster than the Titanic. Kennedy faced Abbate with a straightforward inquiry about whether there was any doubt in the FBI’s collective mind that an assassin indeed shot Trump. The Deputy Director reaffirmed there was no question about the bullet, but one couldn’t help but wonder: why did Wray even cast doubt in the first place?
Wray’s inexplicable skepticism only stokes the flames of conspiracy theories and offers fodder to those who inhabit the fringes of political lunacy. It raises eyebrows regarding his motivations and suggests that perhaps a political bias is seeping into one of America’s top law enforcement agencies. With no clear rationale for his statements, Wray’s actions appear irresponsible and unprofessional, leaving many to question whether his leadership is what the FBI truly needs.
Meanwhile, as the left continued to fail miserably in their attempts to spin this narrative, they also managed to make themselves the punchline of Kennedy’s jokes. The ongoing hearings aimed at holding the FBI and Secret Service accountable for their lack of protection of Trump in the lead-up to the assassination attempt are turning into a spectacle. Every moment Kennedy stands up to speak, he provides insight that highlights not only the absurdity of the situation but also how the agencies are essentially digging their graves under the spotlight of public scrutiny. Chris Wray’s embarrassing moments on live TV only serve to highlight the need for accountability and transparency, elements that seem to be in short supply under current leadership at the FBI.
