What’s Next

  • Congressional Oversight: Andy Biggs and others have called for Wray to be “held accountable” for misleading testimony.
  • Defense Strategy: Lawyers for Jan. 6 defendants are expected to leverage the 274-agent disclosure in new motions, arguing convictions were tainted by undisclosed infiltration.
  • Prosecutorial Posture: With Comey charged, pressure on DOJ to investigate Wray is no longer hypothetical. Calls for a grand jury probe are intensifying.
