FBI Director Wray testified before the Senate Judiciary Thursday the 4th before cutting his testimony off early saying he had an early flight to catch. Turns out the flight was on a government-owned Gulfstream private jet, which he uses for personal transportation (and controls its schedule) which he was taking to his personal vacation house near Saranac, NY. Sort of a self-created three-day weekend, on a $7,000+\/hour jet\u00a0 (Sherpareport.com<\/a>) for which he “reimburses” the equivalent of a coach class ticket. Sort of reminds me of SanFranNan’s flights home – you too?<\/p>\n \u201cWe just heard a half hour ago about you having to leave at 1:30,\u201d Grassley said<\/a>. \u201cWe were going to have seven minutes [each] for first round [questions and] three-minute second rounds. I\u2019ve got seven people on my side of the aisle want their additional three minutes. Is there any reason we couldn\u2019t accommodate them for 21 minutes?\u201d<\/p>\n Wray replied: \u201cSenator, I had a flight that I\u2019m supposed to be high-tailing it to outta here, and I had understood that we were going to be done at 1:30, so that\u2019s how we ended up where we are.\u201d<\/p>\n Grassley noted that the FBI director has the use of a private jet and asked, \u201cCan\u2019t it wait a while?\u201d<\/p>\n Wray then said he tried to make his break during the hearing \u201cas fast I could to get right back out here.\u201d Grassley then noted that Wray \u201ctook more than five minutes,\u201d to which Wray just laughed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
