Wray’s Review Of FBI Flynn Probe ‘is the fox guarding the hen house’

FBI Director Christopher Wray announced Friday that he has ordered the bureau to conduct an internal review of its handling of the probe into former national security adviser Michael Flynn, which has led to his years long battle in federal court.

It’s like the fox guarding the hen house.

Wray’s decision to investigate also comes late. The bureau’s probe only comes after numerous revelations that former senior FBI officials and agents involved in Flynn’s case allegedly engaged in misconduct to target the three star general, who became President Donald Trump’s most trusted campaign advisor.

Despite all these revelations, Wray has promised that the bureau will examine whether any employees engaged in misconduct during the court of the investigation and “evaluate whether any improvements in FBI policies and procedures need to be made.” Based on what we know, how can we trust an unbiased investigation from the very bureau that targeted Flynn.

Let me put it to you this way, over the past year Wray has failed to cooperate with congressional investigations. In fact, many Republican lawmakers have called him out publicly on the lack of cooperation saying, he cares more about protecting the bureaucracy than exposing and resolving the culture of corruption within the bureau.

Wray’s Friday announcement, is in my opinion, a ruse to get lawmakers off his back.

How can we trust that Wray’s internal investigation will expose what actually happened in the case of Flynn, or any of the other Trump campaign officials that were targeted by the former Obama administration’s intelligence and law enforcement apparatus.

It’s Wray’s FBI that continues to battle all the Judicial Watch Freedom of Information Act requests regarding the investigation into Flynn, along with any requests that would expose information on the Russia hoax investigation. One in particular, is the request to obtain all the text messages and emails sent and received by former Deputy Director Andrew McCabe.

The FBI defended itself in its Friday announcement saying that in addition to its own internal review, it has already cooperated with other inquiries assigned by Attorney General William Barr. But still Wray has not approved subpoena’s for employees and...

Nearly 70 Percent of Unemployed Workers in America Can Receive Higher Government Payments Than Their Lost Earnings

Newswars reported that a large majority of unemployed Americans can receive more in unemployment benefits than what they were earning while being gainfully employed.

During the last few months, 36.5 million Americans have filed for unemployment benefits, which prompted Congress to take action in order to tackle this abrupt increase in jobless claims.

However Newswars noted one problem with Congress’ response:

But by giving all of these unemployed workers a repeating 600 dollar bonus on top of existing unemployment benefits, Congress has actually created a very powerful incentive for Americans to be unemployed and to stay unemployed for as long as the bonuses last.

According to a number of well-known economists at the University of Chicago, 68 percent of Americans that are currently unemployed can now earn more money than when they actually held work.

A new study by Peter Ganong, Pascal Noel and Joseph Vavra, economists at the University of Chicago, takes government data from 2019 to estimate that 68 percent of unemployed workers who are able to receive benefits can qualify for payments that are greater than their lost earnings. They also discovered that the estimated median replacement rate — the portion of a worker’s original weekly salary that unemployment benefits are now replacing — is 134 percent higher than their original wage.

Per CNBC, workers in the restaurant and hotel industry can potentially receive “182% of their previous wages”

With these facts in mind, the temptation for Americans to not go back to work is quite high. After all, these benefits are quite generous and can foster dependency.

Additionally, many of these jobs may never come back. According to...
