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."

This is interesting: On the same day the FBI storms Roger Stones house like they are raiding a mass murdering terror cell, FBI director Christopher Wray comes out with this statement about being angry.

Dear Chris:

Go arrest Hillary.

Otherwise, you’re just woofing like a Chihuahua.

Clearly, the fbi director is another member of the deep state.

The ELECTION was a poll of what the American People actually
wanted the FBI to do. Instead, they lied to Congress,
and have ignored REAL treason, REAL sedition, uranium
selling, and its REAL coverup.

The American people, tired of terrorism and FF,
are fed up and about as angry as any have EVER seen them.

Wray has never been a team player.

He’s the sunshine patriot who deserts at a crucial moment in the war and walks home when the rations run out.

The shut down makes him angry? Yet his jack-booted thugs trampling all over Roger Stones lawn doesn’t?

What an interesting man...

FBI raids old man’s house in full military regalia for process crime

FBI raids no one for terroristic threats against schoolchildren

What do we need these people for?

If he wants to express political opinions, he should quit his job and run for office.

Those of us in the real world know enough to have enough set aside in case of lay-off. Of coarse government workers, who make more than we do, can’t make it 30 days without a complete breakdown. What a bunch of losers.

I think it’s time to get rid of the FBI. Top to bottom! Shut it down.

So, resign.

You probably belong in prison anyway.

Whatsamatta Wray?

You couldn’t order him shot while standing in the doorway holding a baby?

Or fill his place with flammables and burn the thing to smitherines? Angry there were no tanks?

When Trump was elected, my biggest fear was that he wouldn’t find enough people who shared his vision to go work for him.

So he got stuck with pretty much the same crap we’ve had to endure since Reagan’s time.

The FBI is a criminal enterprise that needs dismantled.

“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.”

“The FBI is best served as flying under the radar, with the 35,000 employees and 9 billion budget per year we deign to admit to the rubes.”

What % of high functioning sociopaths find their way to the power structures around the federal government?

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

FIRE Wray! Purge the FBI utterly.
