Scoop: FBI director threatened to resign amid Trump, Sessions pressure

Having now seen the CNN spin on this report, and they’re eating it up, this may indicate that McCabe is about to be fired or prosecuted (or BOTH!) - and this is setting the stage, “no, McCabe & Comey (and Wray?) are good folks but that darn Trump doesn’t want anybody to learn about ‘collusion’” - or something ... but IMO it’s a preemptive announcement from deep state and that could be one implication.

Yup. They know McCabe is about to be fired. So perhaps they are pushing Wray to play the Trump-is-pushing-me game.

Fire the worthless idiot or let him quit, nothing lost with his departure.

I don’t understand Wray. Trump appointed him yet it is like Comey never left. Congress had to threaten contempt to get both the FBI and DOJ to release the documentation that resulted in the 4 page memo. And now Wray claims that 5 month of Strzok texts are missing with no interest in following up with Verizon and ATT to gather them. And now he is protecting McCabe who is at the center of the scandal.

I can’t believe this.

Before I saw this article I wrote a post complaining about Wray on another thread, and the way his confirmation hearing went.

In my mind there were just too many confirmations from the dems. I just knew something was not right.

This is from AXIOS, a newer leftist smear-site and toilet paper substitute.

Take what they say with a very small grain of salt, or arsenic.

The Left has created so many new FAKE NEWS organizations that I cannot keep up with them, who they are, what their names are, who their staff are, and who FUNDS them.

How about Freepers doing some digging and posting here about these groups. A concerned effort to shine some disinfectant sunlight on them would be very welcomed and is badly needed.

Please, somehow I doubt Wray threatened to resign over such a compromised actor as McCabe. Who writes this stuff, it is pure fantasy.

[trebb]

Don’t believe it as stated. Trump know the enormous pressure Wray is under as the FBI takes lots of hits - he doesn’t want to overwhelm him by making it tougher....for now.

To hell with these punks. They are not guaranteed a job. They are not gifts to us from the police gods. They are employees of the people of the United States. If you cannot take orders like any other employee, put your resignation on my desk by noon, clean out your office, and go write your Hate Trump Book and join back in with your dimocrat friends who are paying you under the table to under mine the president. I am sick and tired of these so called public servants who think it is all about THEM and not about the Republic. Screw him. FIRE HIM NOW!!!
