Wray opposed warrantless wiretapping.
So?

That’s not the way I heard it/ read it.
Wray was aligning himself with Comey and Mueller to get the surveillance program entrenched.
IIRC..wray was at the hospital during the showdown ready to resign with comey. It was quite an orchestrated event while ashcroft was still on drugs after surgery
Respectfully, Wray 100% opposed warrantless wiretapping. At the time, so did Mueller and Comey. The Trump-haters construe this as Wray being “connected,” to Mueller and Comey. The only way for Wray to have avoided this “connection,” would have been for him to support warrantless wiretapping.
Iow, the Trump-haters are not being rational. What’s new.
‘[Wray] also played a part in a piece of Washington lore, siding with then-Attorney General John Ashcroft, then-FBI Director Robert Mueller and then-Deputy Attorney General James Comey in opposing the use of warrantless wiretapping – a dispute that famously culminated in a 2004 bedside standoff involving a hospital-bound Ashcroft.’
