Zeleny attributed this skepticism to Donald Trump, stating that it is a manifestation of the “Trump era.” According to him, every Republican campaign event and candidate now feels obligated to question the FBI and the government because of Trump. Zeleny seemed perplexed by this, noting that it ignores the hardworking Americans within the FBI who are deserving of respect.
Matt Gaetz enters Hunter Biden smoking-gun WhatsApp message into Congressional record, then EXPOSES FBI Dir Wray about it UNDER OATH during testimony:
"You seem deeply uncurious about it— almost suspiciously uncurious. Are you protecting the Bidens?"pic.twitter.com/VjzZXGcVfJ

The remarks from Zeleny came after Matt Gaetz’s questioning of FBI Director Chris Wray during a House Judiciary Committee hearing. Gaetz alleged that Hunter Biden sent a WhatsApp message demanding money from a Chinese business contact while invoking his father. Gaetz confronted Wray, suggesting that he was protecting the Bidens by not showing more curiosity about the matter.
Overall, Zeleny’s comments and Gaetz’s questioning seem to reflect a growing trend among Republicans to question the FBI and its investigations. This development is seen by Zeleny as a worrisome and depressing move away from traditional support for law enforcement. However, it is important to consider the different perspectives and motivations behind these actions.
