FBI Director Christopher Wray becomes the latest target for Trump's ire
NBC "News" ^ | September 4, 2018 | by Carol E. Lee, Nicolle Wallace and Kristen Welker

In recent conversations with confidants, President Donald Trump has added FBI Director Christopher Wray to his list of key members of his administration about whom he has complaints, three people familiar with the discussions tell NBC News.

Trump has criticized Wray as another figure in the Justice Department who is not protecting his interests - and is possibly out to undermine his presidency, these people said.

Trump is "in the worst mood of his presidency and calling friends and allies to vent about his selection of (Attorney General Jeff) Sessions and Wray," said one person familiar with the president’s thinking. This person said the president was particularly focused on both men over the Labor Day weekend.

Trump has at times been wound up by Tom Fitton, the president of the conservative advocacy group Judicial Watch, and a regular commentator on Fox News, who has been sharply critical of Wray and what he describes as corruption at the FBI.

Wray didn’t inspire me in his public testimony. He came across as a mealy mouthed bueaucrat protecting his new fiefdom, not a reformer.

If he didn’t tweet it I don’t believe it.

three people familiar with the discussions

In other words, the three “reporters” who wrote the article.

I wouldn’t believe anything said by those three “front holes” at Nothing But Crap.

I hope it IS true. Wray, Sessions, and Rosenstein need to be fired, as a start. The entire top floor of FBI and DOJ HQ’s need to go.

I don’t think Chris Wray got the Memo. Director Wray has to restructure the FBI or face the total decimation of the agency. Protecting the wrong doers within the FBI has and will destroy it.
