The Very Funny Translation of House Oversight Hearing into Plain-Speak – Part 1 Opening Statements
and
Gobsmacking Revelations at House Oversight Hearing – Part 2 The Questioning Begins
Part 3 begins with a beeping rendition of Rep Gerry Connolly’s opinion of the insurrection and what needs to be done about it.
CONNOLLY: Dude the hashtag was "StormTheCapitol" – was it really that up in the air?
WRAY: We look to improve the sharing of intel.

This tweet from Pati Roll summed up how many of us felt about Wray’s testimony.
Listening to Wray I’m convinced I knew more about the planned attack that was incited at the Capitol for months before January 6, than Wray is admitting to.

Gym Jordan (R-OH) was up next but he was so bad our translator muted him.
So it’s onto the next questioner, Rep Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) and more stunning revelations.
KRISHNAMOORTHY: Some French guy sent this assboil Nick Fuentes a quarter-million in Bitcoin for the attack. How about other nations paying for the coup attempt in the U.S.?
WRAY: Yup. Could be. pic.twitter.com/Ozytnq65bz

There were foreign nationals and foreign money involved? Whoa! It’s going to be interesting to find out who paid them and what exactly they were paid to do. It’s also further substantial evidence that the insurrection was planned well in advance.
Rep Krishnamoorthi’s final questions deviate from the specific subject of the hearing but they’re nevertheless of pressing concern, especially to Democrats.
KRISHNAMOORTHY: Did you discuss the leak investigation with Jeff Sessions?
WRAY: *hides under desk*
KRISHNAMOORTHY: Right. That's fucked, dude.

Re-Pete Sessions is the final GQPer in this translation. His comments border on attempted witness tampering.
SESSIONS: the dems want all these people arrested isn't that bad
wray: um yeah we will arrest people who break the law
sessions: we're not utterly completely doomed so let me answer the question for you it will be a while so nobody needs to turn state's evidence
— Eric Garland (@ericgarland) June 15, 2021
Unlike Gaetz, Sessions doesn’t threaten any witnesses. He gives them advice instead and the message is clear: don’t turn state’s evidence because it will be really bad for us if you do.
The translation ends on a high note with Rep Jamie Raskin who led the House Management Team for the second impeachment trial.
RANKIN: Why isn't your story straight?
FLYNN: no idea, dude
RANKIN: Seriously?
FLYNN: yup. I'm outta gas on this one
— Eric Garland (@ericgarland) June 15, 2021
FLYNN: We should have had a Federal Department of Murdering Congress, and we didn't.
RANKIN: Mmkay. Have a great day, dude. pic.twitter.com/KWUyCxLL8w

While this is the end of the translation, the House Oversight hearing continues and you can read about Paul Gosar’s attempted gaslighting of FBIDir Wray right here.
But for now, it’s thank you Eric Garland for the stunning information and your entertaining way of telling it. Once again, you’ve done us proud!
Thank you, Michelle Dale and Eric Garland. Very funny/sad, because all too true. Great job!
Thank you, KT. I agree too that it is both funny and sad. Such tragi-comedy shouldn’t be playing out in the People’s Congress. I’ll feel an enormous sense of relief when indictments are issued for those among its members who were in on the planning, who contributed to inciting the assault on the nation’s Capitol, who aided, abetted and gave comfort to the insurrectionists who took part. That’s going to be a far more effective way of cleaning House – and Senate – than the next election.
