FBI’s WRAY DEFIANT: ‘I Am Not Going Anywhere, Mr. President’ ...Wray Is Serving A 10-year Term That Began In 2017

FBI Director Christopher Wray has no plans to resign, a bureau official said, as President Donald Trump and his supporters step up demands for the release of sensitive files that they say will show “spying” on Trump’s 2016 campaign.

Wray is here to stay, regradless of President Trump’s comments, FBI officials confirmed Wednesday morning.

 

Wray is serving a 10-year term that began in 2017 and doesn’t plan at this time to step down, according to the FBI official who spoke on condition of anonymity. However, Trump could fire him at any time and for any reason, as he did his predecessor, James Comey.

With Trump falling behind Democrat Joe Biden in polls ahead of the Nov. 3 election, the president and his political allies have renewed criticism of the Federal Bureau of Investigation as being too slow to release information that they say will show anti-Trump bias in its investigation into whether Trump or any of his associates conspired with Russia to interfere in the 2016 election.

 

U.S. intelligence agencies found that Russia sought to help Trump win that election, and they say Vladimir Putin’s government is trying to do so again this year, but Trump regularly ridicules what he calls “Russia-Russia-Russia.” READ MORE:

Wray serves at the Pleasure of the President.

The President has full authority to hire or fire him at will.

I think comey said the same stupid thing right before he was fired by President Trump.

Disobey and order from your CEO - Your Fired!

[Always A Marine]

Another unnamed source.

[samadams2000]

Don’t worry Wray I expect the president to fire you for cause and disparage your reputation right after election day.

[DesertRhino]

Ask Comey about 10 years. That’s an upper limit, not a term.

[Fungi]

“on condition of anonymity’ There is that word again—anonymity. This is not truth, it is propaganda.

The President should detail Wray to the Alaskan oil fields for the winter...see if Wray can find any right-wing extremist domestic terrorists up there!

[damper99]

Wray shooting the bird at Trump and his decision to declassify things. He must be sure that it’s going to work out in his favor.

[Ann Archy]

He CAN BE FIRED! FIRE HIM ON NOV. 4 if not before!

[LIConFem]

Yep, Comey said the same thing, and look what happened to that jackass.

[teletech]

Wray is betting that if the President fires him this close to the election it will hurt Trump.

[Secret Agent Man]

He is daring Trump to fire him.

Hes not above the president.

And i’d say that for anyone who serves at the pleasure of any president.

Here Chris, have another look at the Constitution will ya?
Reminds me of that SDNY US Attorney who refused o leave when he was sacked last year. If I remember correctly his defiance lased all of 24 hours. It was a simple matter of refusing to let him into the building and appointing his successor.

[Fido969]

What kind of arrogant remark is that?

[JoSixChip]

The President has full authority to hire or fire him at will.

I really don't know what it will take to get through to some of you people. The POTUS can not just hire anyone he wants, it has to go through mcconnell. That is why Trump has had to pick deep staters. Also why mcconnell has never put the senate in recess, that blocks Trump from making recess appointments.

[McGruff]

With Trump falling behind Democrat Joe Biden in polls ahead of the Nov. 3 election

That's BS. Whoever wrote this isn't credible.

[Artcore]

I guess I missed it; was this the big DOJ announcement that was supposed to have been made today?

[SmokingJoe]

Actually every single Trump supporter I know wants Wray gone..to hell preferably.
