…#Lieu asked #Wray about #RogerStone, #ElliottBroidy, #MichaelCohen, #PaulManafort, #RickGates, & #GeorgePapadopoulos, all of whom were found #guilty of various #crimes in federal court.
Lieu pointed out that all of the advisers were prosecuted by Trump appointees: #BillBarr, #MatthewWhitaker, & #JeffSessions. Wray, who was already leading the #FBI at the time, is also a #TrumpAppointee.
