The average pay is $75,000. That’s $25,000 more than the average for us. We are smart enough to put something aside for things like layoffs and tough times. I guess the FBI are such fragile little flowers they just can’t deal with real life.

They should not even be mentioned in the same breath as REAL law enforcement.

Why did Trump make this clown FBI director in the first place? He always seemed to be against everything Trump is for.

A complete and utter failure. We had hoped to see the ship put right, instead we have a clown leading an organization still hopelessly flawed and corrupt. What a waste of skin.

Trump needs to fire this jackass first thing monday morning...at 5 am.

His boss is the President, and he goes out there being snarky and critical of what he is doing. How many of you get to speak to your subordinates about the CEO that way?

Damned low life. And never spent a single DAY in law enforcement before being FBI director. Never made a single arrest. Never carried a gun a day on the job.

The raid on Stone coupled with this video is a message to the President and his voters: We have the guns and we’ll use them and we have all the time in the world.

But he’s totally good with the 27-gun police state early-morning SWAT raid on Roger Stone meant to terrify him and his wife.

At least they didn’t shoot the dogs.

He should be fired for authorizing that raid. Completely unnecessary show for the press. If I were Trump it would happen. The whole chain of command from the point man to Wray should be fired.

Trump needs to fire this turd and all the other obstructing swamp turds. Didn’t Clinton fire every DOJ atty when he took office? That way the backstabbers are gone in one move.

“Personally I think as bad as Comey was, he was miles better than this fop Wray. What a total loser.”

I do not observe the slightest difference. Both lawyers with zero law enforcement background. Both connected to unsavory politicians. Both covering up for the Mueller investigation. Both forwarding the farce of Hillary’s accusation that Russia stole her emails and gave them to wikileaks, that Russia coordinated with Trump, and that she had the election stolen from her.
And last but not least, BOTH believe the exceedly dangerous lie that the DOJ is “independent”.
They are identical.

He should resign. It’s not like he’d be missed. He hasn’t done diddly so far.. a half hearted attempt at best.

Well, it was Donald Trump, same guy who hired Sessions and Rosenstine.

Technically true, but unfortunately, President Trump had no group of experienced Washington pols who shared his goals to draw upon. So, he's mostly had to rely on various Republicans to recommend people and those doing the recommending also did not share his goals in all too many cases.

A huge weakness and detriment to Trump and his goals, and those of his supporters. Probably no easy fix at this point.

Mark Levin said last night that these legal hire disasters, with the exception of Sessions, were mostly recommended by Trump's first WH Counsel who is now departed.

Hey Wray, under your pathetic leadership dozens of kids were killed in the Parkland shooting. Your Effing FBI was warned and did NOTHING! You are a really disgusting useless man and a piss poor leader. You should be fired.

Good point.

‘WE’ already proved that just because one is ‘obeying orders’ it does not render them ‘innocent’.

NOT that the raid was in any means necessary and/or justified, IF something had gone wrong and say the occupant heard rustling in his yard and had been harassed in the past, if he would have fired his shotgun (thanks for the idea BIDEN) through the front door when the first battering ram hit, the wags would be out saying one or two people should never be serving a warrant.(that shouldn’t have been served that way)

The five-week-long shutdown has caused around 800,000 federal employees to miss two consecutive paychecks.

Boo hoo! And 28 consecutive years (including 12 with Republican administrations) of open borders, globalist first, America last policies has caused millions more Americans to miss millions more paychecks, retire before their time, take up drugs and alcohol and raise the power of swamp rats even more.

I rather like the last two years of record employment and rising wages for the "other" America who doesn't work for the government. It was long overdue.

Maybe the current swamp aligned America deserves just a tiny little feel of what those of us outside of the swamp have been experiencing.

Really, do seven of the ten richest counties in America need to be within commuting distance of Washington, DC? Really, do 90% of our public servants have to think that the public is there to serve them?

But not quite as bad as when Bush’s Homeland Security Chief Chertoff, was found to have people who’d entered the freaking country illegally, were working in and around his private residence...During wartime yet.

I wonder how angry he’d be if Trump fired his ass. Trump should at least call him into the Oval Office and tell him to keep his political opinions to himself.

And no one has “missed” any paychecks. They’ve simply been postponed. And all who aren’t working will get paid anyway.

“Drain the Swamp” was a myth and campaign promise not kept. Hearing the plight of federal workers makes me sick! The FBI/CNN raid and eventual “perp walk” was disgusting.

Why is there seemingly no video or transcript of any of this other than the line about being angry? I’ve been looking and still haven’t seen ... including this video from the Hill - it’s just that statement, alone, from #FakeNews I find that curious.
