FBI Director Wray on shutdown: 'I'm about as angry as I've been in a long, long time'

FBI Director Christopher Wray addressed the government shutdown in a video message to FBI employees, saying he's "about as angry as I've been in a long, long time." "Making some people stay home when they don't want to, and making others show up without pay -- it's mind-boggling, it's short-sighted, and it's unfair," Wray said, noting the financial impact the shutdown has had on many government workers in its 35th day. Wray, who was confirmed as FBI director in 2017 after President Donald Trump fired James Comey, said the FBI has been "actively advocating" for its employees, just not in the press because of the highly polarized political climate. "You know better than most that we've been thrust into the political spotlight more than we would have liked over the past few years," Wray said. "And the last thing this organization needs now is its leadership to wade into the middle of a full-on political dispute."

He continued: "But let me also be very clear: We're actively advocating for you left and right, at every level. We're having conversations day and night with people who can have the most impact, to show them how much this is affecting all of you and your families, and how it could affect the work we need to do for the American people. We're just not doing it in the press." Wray adds that "even seemingly straightforward statements can be hijacked by one side or the other."

Dear Christopher,
Address your concerns with Nasty and Chuckles. Do your job and pursue real criminals.

Just remember that a fibbie will backshoot you, burn women and children, or shoot a woman holding your grandchild.

But this piece of crap Wray sent 29 heavily armed agents in 19 vehicles to arrest an old man in his pajamas.

29 little faggot fibbie gear-queers.

Did you hear the little soy punk pounding on the door trying to sound manly?

He'll do better after his stones finally drop.

Many people who are representatives or senators have been in Congress for decades. They have lived with and condoned it. They could have fixed it, but failed.

President Trump did not create the shutdown protocols.

I will support & vote for President Trump, no matter what!

Russian collusion is a fairytale, it was ONLY ever a Democrat coup.

We KNOW he has faced more slanderers, usurpers & attempts to delegitimize or end his life or his Presidency from Democrats and Republicans than any President in history.

All for us.

He should be fired for insubordination. He answers to the President. Unauthorized statement.

Re: Another Swamp Creature - The Attorney General nominee

I agree.

In 1991, all eight Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee voted to confirm William Barr as Attorney General.

That was the same gang of Democrats that destroyed Robert Bork, and tried to destroy Clarence Thomas.

But they voted 8-0 for William Barr.

Winning!

“Maybe he should explain why CNN was at Stone s home.”
There were some reports that CNN was there as early as 5:00 AM. Go figure.
