Well, at least Wray is ‘transparent’. It was obvious during his first testimony before a congressional committee that his number one, or only priority, was to preserve the reputation of the FBI by covering up any evidence of past wrongdoing.

He has to go if there is any possibility of getting a successor confirmed at this point.

That means Chris Wray is committing a crime by obstructing justice and yet he remains the head of the FBI. What’s Trump waiting for?

Coats is gone and Wray hasn’t much longer either.

There’s no doubt whatsoever who championed Wray: Chris Christie.

Not surprised, if true - do we know this as fact?

Why are we surprised when these agencies refuse to turn over documents? Why do we have these federal police state agencies anyways?

There are no real external controls over their power. If there are any effective check on their power isn’t that a recipe for disaster?

As long as these agencies continue to operate in secrecy, and as long as the public cannot really challenge their power, three things will happen or have already happened.

1. The agencies go rogue and powerful individuals in the agency operate them like a fiefdom. Information is power. Just look at the FBI’s coup attempt.
2. Foreign actors will use their influence to exert influence and eventual control over the agency. China and BLM.
3. Deep state actors will operate much like foreign actors in exerting influence and control. Money laundering banks and the DEA?

If these investigatory agencies were sent back to the states, the public would exert much more control and it would be more difficult for foreign actors to exert their influence because it would be much more evident and the corruption would be easier to detect at the state level. federal agencies operate in the dark.

After Barr said he believed the FBI was spying on the Trump campaign, Wray questioned his boss’s assessment in public. “It’s not the term I would use,” Wray told Congress.

When the government gets stuff wrong, as it did in the Russia case on Comey’s watch, transparency is the best panacea for restoring public trust.

Claiming FBI agents have a privacy right to avoid facing hard questions, portraying public source documents as national secrets and doing the Muhammad Ali “rope-a-dope” dance to thwart disclosure is not an acceptable alternative.

It’s a lesson Chris Wray should learn, quickly.

keep ICE, disband the FBI

Catch 22. Never trust an officer above the rank of Major. (My last rank on AD, I know.)

I hope you're right. Just don't know how the Republican senators would react, and if they'd approve a successor in a timely manner.

“There are good men still left at the Bureau”

Nope. They didn’t stand up to the corruption. They were like all the others that went along to get along. They were numerous and populated Nazi, Communist parties.

The police sate agencies create a culture that is primarily concerned with self preservation and the protection of their people. That’s why these agencies need to be mostly dissolved and individual states need to take over the domestic functions.

I notice FBI still can’t tell us why 600 people were shot in Vegas.

This article completely misses the point.

Christopher Wray is withholding the documents on the pretext that they expose sources and methods. He is entirely justified in his line of thinking because the documents definitely expose sources and methods that may have serious negative consequences.

The documents expose well established CIA regime change procedures by which the CIA takes down foreign governments and/or government officials via the manufacturing of false stories and narratives and planting them with compliant or complicit media sources to frame the targets and inflame public opinion against the target. This agitation it further flamed by “ grass roots” activist community organizers working boots on the ground operations to mobilize the general population and destabilize the targets, setting them up for the ultimate take down

The CIA is not supposed to be operating in the borders of the US or against American citizens so Brennan had to subcontract that part of the operation to FBI counter intelligence people who can work in the US

So the while documents certainly do not expose serious intelligence gather methods or actual secret agents engaged in legit intelligence gathering, they 100 % expose how the CIA manufactures false intelligence to falsely frame targeted people, political organization and governments and how they disseminate and employ that fake intelligence to shape public opinion to destabilize their targets and how they use surrogate boots on the ground assets to mobilize the general population and ultimately effect regime change

‘Fire Chris Wray and the next 2 layers of his staff.”
___________________________________________________________

Wholeheartedly agree with this sentiment...the only problem will be who does Trump install as successor to Wray?

Christie is a toady who has bad judgement and blows with the prevailing wind...

Gowdy talks tough but was totally ineffective with Benghazi...

Barr is already in a good spot at DOJ...

Rudy has good TV presence but is getting a bit long in the tooth...

We need someone who can crack heads and clean out the latrine...

Louie Gohmert would fit the bill!

FBI engaged in an attempted coup d’etat against our government. Wray has yet to make a single arrest. He is a disgrace.

What a wimp we have as FBI Director. Was he emasculated on the way into Trump's administration?
