Who is Christopher Wray? Donald Trump picks new FBI boss
CNBC ^ | 06/07/2017 | Ted Kemp and Jacob Pramuk

Posted on 06/07/2017 6:39:57 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Christopher A. Wray, President Donald Trump's pick to succeed James Comey as FBI director, led the federal investigation of Enron and represented Gov. Chris Christie in the Bridgegate scandal.

In a tweet Wednesday morning, Trump said Wray had "impeccable credentials."

Trump tweet: "I will be nominating Christopher A. Wray, a man of impeccable credentials, to be the new Director of the FBI. Details to follow."

Wray was nominated by President George W. Bush as assistant attorney general in charge of the Criminal Division, according to the Justice Department. He held that job from 2003 to 2005.

Wray, a Yale Law School graduate, served on the President's Corporate Fraud Task Force and oversaw the Enron Task Force and other major fraud investigations, according to the Washington law firm King & Spaulding, where he is a litigation partner.

The FBI says the Enron probe was the "largest and most complex white-collar investigation" in the agency's history.

Wray specializes in white collar law and internal investigations, according to the Justice Department site. He represented the New Jersey governor in the scandal surrounding the closing of lanes on the George Washington Bridge in 2013 as a way to attack political opponents. Christie was never charged but two of his allies were convicted.

Before Wray became an assistant attorney general at the Justice Department, he was principal associate deputy attorney General.

“Looks like you should think more”

BS. Produce something or STFU.

“Dubya did that (discredited the swift boat people) all by himself.”

What kind of lunatic nonsense is that? The swift boat people have not been discredited. They knew Ensign Band-aid for the scumbag he is, and told the truth.

unmasking Flynn was a felony as was disseminating his name once it was unmasked and Comey had no intention of delving into that.

LOL.  Thanks to Trump friend and political advisor Roger Stone - The legacy of the Shrub clan is an open secret.

Did you know that ESAD and FOAD are double ententes for which the lesser known meaning is, if you do, you will? 


Bonappit!

Yep.  Lot's of those in the swamp. 
 
Some might've even grown legs long enough to slither aboard Trump's coat tails... for a while.

Didn’t realize I was posting to a leftard.

You made claims about the swift boaters.

Now you’re trying to change the subject.

ESAD. No double entendre.

No idea what a “double entente” might be.

Ask Dubya.

“President Bush yesterday denounced TV ads that question Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry’s Vietnam record and called on the senator from Massachusetts to be equally critical of ads financed by Democratic “billionaires writing checks.”
“I’m denouncing all the stuff being on TV of the 527s,” Mr. Bush told reporters at his ranch in Crawford, Texas. “I hope my opponent joins me in condemning these activities of the 527s.”

Bon Appetit, Sock fans!

Right. Everybody who calls out the nature of the L.I.F.E.R. R.E.M.F. kleptocrats who sodomized the Republic must be a “leftard”.

Been riding the gravy train long have ya?

That’s a leftard’s ploy.

Pretty sure neither POTUS Trump nor his friend Roger Stone are a "leftard" super genius.

Was Roland Arnall's enterprise (Whose "revolutionary" IT infrastructure was Archeeetected by former Enron employees) on the Left or the Right side of the uni-bed when the folks running those adds climbed swiftly in?

“specializing in white collar and internal investigations”

Perfect for the Clinton Foundation RICO investigation.

See, we sort of expect people like Penny Pritkzer (Obama Secretary of Commerce whose Chicago family bank went bankrupt from its adventures in subprime ACORN farming circa 2001) to become the foxes who guard the commercial henhouse when the (D) folks are running the store.

But - given that whole "A Republic is a system of government characterized by the Rule of Law thing" - it's sort of disapointing when somebody who, obviously, so utterly FAILED to keep the SOX clean when the (R) folks were in power.... is appointed as director of the F.B.I.

Given this appointment - I'm guessing it's unlikely the Pritzker, Bush, and Clinton family enterprises will be EVER placing orders with...

“...Who is Christopher Wray?...”

Hopefully, he’s the guy that will be known in the future as “Oh, He’s the one who put Hillary Clinton in jail...”

“Lock Her Up”... A promise, not just a campaign slogan.
