Christopher A. Wray, President Donald Trump's pick to succeed James Comey as FBI director, led the federal investigation of Enron and represented Gov. Chris Christie in the Bridgegate scandal.

In a tweet Wednesday morning, Trump said Wray had "impeccable credentials."

Trump tweet: "I will be nominating Christopher A. Wray, a man of impeccable credentials, to be the new Director of the FBI. Details to follow."

Wray was nominated by President George W. Bush as assistant attorney general in charge of the Criminal Division, according to the Justice Department. He held that job from 2003 to 2005.

Wray, a Yale Law School graduate, served on the President's Corporate Fraud Task Force and oversaw the Enron Task Force and other major fraud investigations, according to the Washington law firm King & Spaulding, where he is a litigation partner.

The FBI says the Enron probe was the "largest and most complex white-collar investigation" in the agency's history.

Wray specializes in white collar law and internal investigations, according to the Justice Department site. He represented the New Jersey governor in the scandal surrounding the closing of lanes on the George Washington Bridge in 2013 as a way to attack political opponents. Christie was never charged but two of his allies were convicted.

Before Wray became an assistant attorney general at the Justice Department, he was principal associate deputy attorney General.

>>That’s a leftard’s ploy.

Hey, you’re the one using the dialectly polarizing language Skippy.

Meanwhile - A Republic is a system of governance constituted by the Rule of Law.

Was the law ruling whilst Mr. Wray was serving on the “President’s Corporate Fraud Task Force” -- during the same time period when the predatory lending organization owned by Roland Arnall, the Godfather of Subprime, and BUSH AMBASSADOR TO THE NETHERLANDS - was doing bidness?

No. Evidently not.

FAIL.

Did you really expect to pass for sane here?

I’m done with you.

[HLPhat]

>>Did you really expect to pass for sane here?

Tsk Tsk. That’s so leftard.

Obviously rational discussion regarding whether what constitutes a lawful Republic isn’t your forte.

>>I’m done with you.

Wobble on down the road then Skippy! Left Right Left.

Is he another Beltway “Mr FixIt” lawyer?

I am so tired of these guys!

[piasa]

How’s Roger Stone doing with his bout of “polonium poisoning?”

[HLPhat]

Seems to be tanning well.

Must’ve got treated in time. That’s not a crime.

Manufacturing securitized a$$paper though, like the enterprise run by the guy Mr. Wray’s former boss made Ambassador to the Netherlands did - that’s probably a bit more problematic.

Pass. CFR. Skull n Bones at Yale? Involved with corrupt Enron schemes?

Why is POTUS putting NWO Bushites in?

C’mon Trump. You know what friends-of-Rove are like!

Who is Christopher Wray? Donald Trump picks new FBI boss

His mother-in-law was a Dunham.

Thanks, Brown Deer. Any relation to Stanley Ann Dunham?

His mother-in-law was a Dunham.

Now isn't that interesting? What are the chances?

[arrogantsob]

Anyone can join the Council on Foreign Relations.

[arrogantsob]

So what? Seems like an excellent choice with talents exactly in line with what we need. It will be enjoyable to watch the Democrats try and undermine him.

I think i made a funny, nothing more-

Does the Clinton Foundation qualify as the white-collar crime Wray seems to specialize in?

Christopher Wray’s mother in law, Stephanie Dunham, #7 in Brown Deer’s post #74:

is at same level as Stanley Ann in Brown Deer’s post #73:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/3558813/posts?page=73#73

Which would make Wray’s mother in law and Stanley Ann cousins of some sort (cousin, 10th removed?).

[Brown Deer]

line 2, Humility and others are all brothers and sisters.
next line down are 1st cousins, and continue counting down.

>>So what?

So a Republic is a system of government characterized by the Rule of Law; and when the Law fails to rule as it did in the case of Enron and the Sub-prime fiasco - the Republic ceases to exist.

So enjoy the ride on the talented banana boat.

Thanks for the info; 10th row down; 10th cousins...

In one of George Webb's videos yesterday, he answers the question about the new FBI director:

“...let’s take questions....oh, the new FBI director – is it Wray? Christopher Wray? Jason Goodman: Did they just announce a new FBI director?

George Webb:

"Well, you don’t just announce one. They have to go through Senate confirmation and the problem with that is – you know, he ‘slow-footed’ Enron. A lot of people on the ..."

Jason Goodman:

"Who was that?"

George Webb:

"Wray, if it was Wray, it’s Christopher Wray...no, I think it’s “W” – WRAY. But if it’s the Wray I’m thinking about – I think he was the guy who led the prosecution of Enron. I think he “slow-footed” Enron. A lot of people died on the witness list ..."

Jason Goodman:

"That’s right. Kenneth Lay"

George Webb:

". . .in that investigation, so, that’s not a good thing when your witnesses die."

Jason Goodman:

"But it is a common coincidence."
