I will be nominating Christopher A. Wray, a man of impeccable credentials, to be the new Director of the FBI. Details to follow.

.I really should have quote this part
“Trump’s choice earned praise from Norm Eisen, a Brookings Institute fellow and former ethics czar for former president Obama.
“Good choice. Oversaw Enron case, which I also spent years of my life on,” Eisen wrote on Twitter. “He was very fair. I endorse.”
And where in the thread that is only Trump’s tweet did you read that he was a defense lawyer?
Yeah..posters here believe the job of a criminal defense lawyer is working for the prosecution.../s
Thanks
It is both good that he has the experience and bad that once again we get a lawyer in law enforcement instead of just a law enforcement type. There is so much overlap of all these guys and gals after a 20 year or 30 year career.
Show me in the tweet from Trump, which is the entirety of the “article” about this thread, where it says that Wray is a defense attorney.
Bets on whether he will survive the Congressional Gauntlet.

1/2 Christopher A. Wray received the Edmund J. Randolph Award, the DOJ’s highest award for public service and leadership,
I think he will. Some in Dem media are praising him.
Obama’s ethics Czar says he is a good pick
So far the biggest problem is the Plame allegation. He can survive that.
that wasn’t your point and you know it.
you can tell by the way your phrased that post
but whatever..
You are mind reading. I was adding information not already added.
“The President could have announced this weeks ago but waited for this moment to act.”
President Trump plays his cards quite well.
When one studies the background of the 4th and 5th Amendments, why they were so important that the US Constitution was put on hold until these issues were fleshed out, when that background is studied by comparison with other societies that have lapsed into intrusion by persons of governing color, when it becomes clear why privacy is important, then the movement of people will start to gain energy.
People of our day have not ‘accepted’ anything, they are at this stage digesting. When the population wakes up to the fact that their personal boundaries are surreptitiously breached and the personal information falls into the hands of plotters, then revolt takes hold and revolution in terms of reform follows.
Already, there are reports that certain NSA personnel during the Obama years felt the environment so lax that the tools of spying on the public were used in jest and for personal ends such as listening in on one’s ex or current spouse or GF/BF, giggling and enjoying the power.
When it becomes personal, and the persons targeted become aware and connected with other targets, then a movement takes hold.
A CEO of a publicly held company develops pancreatic cancer and is given a year to live, he/she keeps it secret while arranging for a successor. A Wall St. hedge fund buys the health information from an NSA leaker and shorts the company stock with a ‘speculation’ on health transmitted by a financial media firm.
There is no end to security breaches because of the nature of the human condition. It can take many years for a counter movement to take hold but eventually, the parasite eats enough of the host that the host must take action.
We are in an early stage, not a beginning state but an early stage of this disease. No one has ‘accepted’ the disease because an understanding of its effects are still ongoing and a prognosis is not yet underway; nothing is concluded. But we know from history that it can be fatal.
Give it a rest
There is a difference between information:
Wray was the criminal defense attorney for Christie....
AND THIS
“That’s what private practice defense attorneys get paid to do.”
but again..
WHATEVER..
Sen. Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate intelligence committee, was skeptical about the timing of Wray's nomination.CNN is ISIS"I think it is more than a little bit curious that the President chose this morning as the time to announce his new FBI head," Warner said on CNN's "New Day." "There will be a time and place to review him. But it seems to me that this is an effort to try to take people's attention off what is going to be the main event, at least for the next two days: the leaders of our intelligence community and the FBI director."
She posts on all posts, just about...you can trust you will find her post as you scroll down a topic...
I look at her post as ‘just more from a trouble maker who doesn’t support our POTUS nor any choices he makes’
MY opinion and I’ll stick to it...
Another great chess move by the President was the announcement the other day that he was putting together a team of top-drawer legal eagles to deal with any future charges or lies against him personally. He even floated the name of a prominent NY attorney.
Whether or not he has actually retained anyone is not the point....just knowing that Trump was gearing up would have been enough to give Comey pause about his testimony this week.
And it worked right off the bat when Comey leaked post haste he was NOT going to publicly go after Trump in his public testimony this week on phony obstruction of justice allegations.
TRUMP THE CHESS-MASTER !

I agree with that. But right now, most people are unaware their privacy is an illusion. Until the fruit of the snoop is used against you, you don't even know it happened.
Meanwhile, the government spins up a yarn that it doesn't snoop willy nilly, because it doesn't unmask your stuff.

The NSA isn't the only enterprise with this power. There are middlemen, the hardware is private.

Sometimes the infection is fatal for both host and parasite.
If one views the host as "government within constitutional bounds," the host died sometime between 1910 and 1930.
