US: FBI Dir. Wray told a House panel that he could not say if agent Strzok was a
key player in the Clinton investigation, according to Fox News. He also said he
would not discuss FISA applications before the panel, it said. 
- Meanwhile the AP said Wray repeated "deflected questions about the FBI's
handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation, saying the entire matter
was under review by the Justice Dept's inspector general. 
- AP said "Republicans repeatedly pressured him on reports that Strzok tweaked
the language of the FBI's finding from 'grossly negligent'- the standard laid
out in the relevant statute - to "extremely careless, " which was the language
that ex-FBI dir "Comey ultimately used in discussing the case with the public." 
- Meanwhile top Dem. of House Judiciary Panel, Rep. Jerrold Nadler of NY, said
US Pres. Trump attacks vs. FBI "will only grow louder as Mueeler continues
investigating," as the AP cited him; Nadler urged Wray to "defend the bureau."
