Why didn’t he fire Wray?
And why did Biden keep Wray in that same spot?

Trust Wray
Who knows where the bodies are buried.
Listen to the snake story again.

Ric Grenell is great. And he was great in every assignment he received from Trump.

Trump’s biggest errors were made in not firing people, many of whom should not have been hired/appointed in the first place: Comey, Wray, Sessions, Barr come immediately to mind. he also should have fired every US Attorney appointed under Obama.

"I told President Trump we got to get rid of him," Grenell said

Well, they didn't and you know the old saying - quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson: “When you strike at a king, you must kill him.”

I’m just waiting for ex-FBI Jim Comey to come out from under his rock and praise the Mar Lago raid.

And replace him with who? Remember, McConnell really controls the approval process. Add in the likes of a few like Murkowski, Collins, Graham and THEY control the process, not Trump.

All the treacherous and awful AG Sessions had to do was recuse himself from the Russiagate BS, and the whole process got handed to Rosenstein at DOJ and McCabe and Comey at FBI.

Probably because of the upcoming election, the enemedia would have had epileptic fits for firing ‘another’ director.

Biden kept Wray because he obviously is a ‘brand’ bureaucrat that will do what the dems say.

He should have fired every last appointment. His advisors were working for the enemy.

If you lined up all the people that Trump hired-up...almost one-third of them were incompetent or undesirable in the end. This is his worst skill...he is a poor judge on competency or reading past resumes.

Grenell is solid. And a patriot.

People like him don’t have much of a future in the GOP.

The party doesn’t like principled people.

The appointment of Sessions as AG was the key mistake!
His idiot “holier than thou” action of recusing himself enabled everything that followed!

Should have fired Wray.

Should have fired Rod Rosenstein when it was learned he had voluteered to wear a wire at White House meetings to try to undermine Trump and help invoke the 25th Amendment. Trump had direct knowledge that Rosenstein was a traitor and still kept him on.

You had REPUBLICAN senators all over Capitol Hill issuing public statements in support of Wray and every other @sshole in the DOJ. Trump would have been impeached and removed from office if he did any such thing.

When it comes to political posts that require Senate confirmation, it's not the President who selects the people to fill them.

I agree. He also seemed too naive and trusting in how deep the deep state was in his appointments.

By now, I hope he knows who to trust and not. Hopefully he will learn the second time around.

I agree. He and Peter Navarro are two that PT should rehire in 2024.

I read that as dictatorship. Doesn’t feel wrong.

Wray doesn’t seem to have any problem profiling the rest of us. He does what Biden tells him to do. How many Chinese spies have been released under this administration? But we’re going to play stupid games...

Biden keeping Wray says it all.
