Accountable for what? If there's no evidence that the FBI directed the companies to remove protected speech then no crime was committed. Asking someone if they committed a crime is not evidence of a crime. All I see here is the same thing the entire GOP is doing, fishing for evidence of something that doesn't exist or never happened to corroborate the lies that they told their voters.

What is even more ridiculous is that they are allowed to not answer questions. If they avoid answering, the question should keep getting repeated until they provide a straight answer. At the end the question asked to the FBI director (Wray) was: "You're saying *there was never any discussion by any of your agents* in any of these meetings *of constitutionally protected speech being taken down?"* That's a question that only requires a one-word answer (Yes or No). Yes (i.e. there *was never any discussions* by agents) or No (i.e. there *was discussions* by agents). Instead Wray answers with the following: *"To my knowledge, our agents conducted themselves in compliance with the law throughout"* That is not an answer to the question he was asked. He was not asked if agents conducted them in compliance with the law, but specifically asked about whether there were any discussions about constitutional speech being taken down. Paul then asks the other guy (not sure who he is): *"You are not aware of your agents ever discussing any constitutionally protected speech with any of the social media companies?"* Again, this is a question that just requires a one word (yes or No) answer. Yes (he is not aware) or No (he is aware). The question is specifically asking him *if he is, personally, aware or not aware." His answer is: *"The same answer is as Director Wray provided to you,* ranking member Paul." The "answer" that the Director gave (which was not an answer to the question asked to the Director) was that *Director Wray had no knowledge of* ...But the other guy was asked what he, personally, was aware/ not aware of therefore by him referring to the same answer that the Director gave is a reference to Director Wray's knowledge (or lack of knowledge) and therefore does not provide an answer about what he (the other guy) was aware/ not aware (had knowledge) of. What a complete joke!!

These three letter agency heads are either lying, tap dancing around answers or refusing to answer. Rules and laws need to change so if they don’t answer they lose their job or go to jail. Nothing in between. An American citizen could NEVER get away with that. They would be tossed in jail until they answered. Another example of a two tiered system

А вот у высшей власти Америки имеются многие права, потому что для вас американцев они святые люди, и им позволено все. Конгрессмены и сенаторы могут воровать государственные деньги, врать под присягой и им за это ничего не будет, потому что для закона они не подсудны.

Historically, the people being the law is an extremely poor decision. Mob justice has never been just. I think you're forgetting that the "enemy" here is the majority of the country that prefers order over chaos. If there's evidence of a crime, then why not press charges against the FBI? If there's no evidence then this is just a political stunt to appease voters that don't understand the difference between a trial and an inquiry.

Так что не следует удерзость шивляться плохим манерам ваших конгрессменов, сенаторов, губернаторов и иных чиновников высокого уровня. Как ваши отцы основатели Америки были подлецами ,негодяями , убийцами и ворами, так они по наследству всю свою мерзость передали вам потомкам нынешней Америки.
