I thought that was the message ... but if WRAY is now to be considered a sleeper then it was intended for something else. This is how my thinking gets totally complicated because then if RR is a black hat and WRAY is a sleeper then he was going to the offices as a black hat to do black hat things with other black hats that make up the 1% ... which overlaps with the 99% ... maybe bagster can help ;)
Think SES. Hard to fire, even for cause.
Wray’s next logical career move was to one of those top spots, including Director.
Trump knew his status, placed him as Director knowing there would be no large kerfuffle from Senate (chalking up a win), and then handcuffed him in action.
Within his purview was the withholding of documents for HOM, so like a good bureaucrat, he functioned.
Wray was a BlackHat AND a placeholder.
Chaff
YMMV
