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."

More importantly, the FBI raided nobody for sedition, treason, or conspiracy to overthrow the government.

They get paid when the shutdown is over. When we get laid off we get unemployment. Almost lost my house while many others dod when Obama was

Trump underestimate the Ministry of Propaganda's ability to put out the sob stories about the shutdown.

What a clueless turd this guy is. Whining about no pay for his people, but yet wastes tax payer dollars by misusing department resources to accommodate Mueller, another waster of tax payer dollars, and resources.

“FBI Director Wray on shutdown: ‘I’m about as angry as I’ve been in a long, long time’”

Well finally we heard something from the Mueller lickspittle.

So why was the FBI not part of the 75% of the government that WAS being funded during the shutdown??

Anybody?

Was the FBI raid on stone a message from the FBI to Trump?

Damn FBI is useless. A bunch of self-centered troglodytes only interested in collecting a paycheck.

So where are the FBI patriots willing to arrest and testify against the traitors in the FBI hierarchy I keep hearing about?

See the first paragraph.

Cleaning up this FBI gestapo mess will fall to the average armed citizen.

Wray has never been a team player.

Wray is a Deep State team player.

I could have gone all day without hearing from him and his stupid comment. For some people it is better to remain silent and let people think you are a dunce than to finally open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Christopher Wray should have remained silent and invisible.

Only one reason CNN was at Stone’s house in the wee hours this morning - collusion with the Mueller team.

Just talked to a friend that works for BLM. He got 2 unemployment checks, today, and should get 2 paychecks next week. Figures he’s up $2500 for not working, unless he pays back the unemployment. He just wishes the weather was better so he could go fishing.

When I read the headline, I made the (incorrect) assumption that Wray was appalled at the behavior of Mueller’s thugs. Oooooops! What phony outrage from the ‘esteemed’ head if the FIB! I now see Mueller more like Maduro than any respectable American prosecutor. I guess we are already in a Socialist situation, with jackbooted thugs storming the house of a mild mannered American patriot.
