Wray reports to RR, not the other way around
I knew that but no inference is made to Wray as RR’s boss, just that Wray goes along with RR and it is not at those levels required that Wray go along with RR. He backs RR or equivalently RR has his ‘backing’.
Wray could if he knew more and was abiding by his oath step out of alignment with RR and announce that RR is hiding content from Congress which is true. But Wray is not allowed to know the obstruction going on in RR’s circle, so he has no choice but to follow along.
At high levels to say that one ‘reports’ to another means there is an administrative responsibility associated with a position in a hierarchy. But as an oath taker, as all FBI members are, there is a responsibility to report wrongdoing no matter where the wrong originates from.
So far, RR’s DOJ has focused on finding wrongdoing in Trump’s circle while covering up its own. This is an ‘offense makes defense’ tactic.
But Wray is kept in the dark so he has no option to step out of alignment with RR.
However, if anonymous FBI agents as reported in the news are knowledgeable of RR’s duplicity and obstruction and they report this to Wray, then Wray carries a responsibility to investigate. If he chooses not to investigate, he is in violation of his oath.
