That’s a nice thought... Let’s hope it turns out to be true. Somebody needs to bring this insanity to a halt.

If they are pretty darn close to each other, then Clinton should have been charged.

What I don’t get is why ANYONE on FR is taking CNN as straight news.

It’s slanted, opinion dressed up as fact, etcetc. CNN is even worse than most of the others, and they are all Fake News.

You’re accepting CNN’s take on this as real news.
It isn’t.

Where are all those “good guys” that some FReepers say make up the rank and file?

They must be at the North Pole helping Santa make toys.

His response sounds very rehearsed. If so, it shows that he came into the hearing wanting and planning to defend Strzok and Comey.

While Wray was not in charge of the FBI when Comey was there, it is clear he is unprepared to admit that not draining the part of the swamp he is now in charge of, and failing to see he needs to, will most of all continue to leave the agency tainted by politically biased people within it who have made decisions already in accord with their bias.

He needs to be like a new police commissioner handed a force with clearly too many bad apples in it. It is those bad apples, not criticism of them, that is tainting the FBI’s reputation. Trump needs to be clear to Wray - either you clean house or someone else will be in charge.

“Where are all those “good guys” that some FReepers say make up the rank and file?”

You hear that repeated by a lot of talking heads. “It’s just the corruption at the top, etc.” Bullsh!t. We’ve been witnessing IN YOUR FACE CORRUPTION FOR 3 years now. No whistle blowers, no one stepping down in protest...Not a patriot among them.

I think so too. He knows what Hillary’s crimes are. He’s deflecting like Comey. You can bet Robert Mueller knows, too. Mueller knows Hillary will take him down with her....

I like Trump but he has made some terribly bad choices for some key positions, and this is one of them. This guy even looks like a slime ball. Then we have Sessions who, without a doubt, has to be the worst AG when it comes to representing our President. Next up is Tillerson. I will stop there for now.

My take, as unpopular as it might be is that Wray is waiting for IG to light the fuse or call out the politically motivated actions. Wray is Trump’s guy, and if he comes in guns blazing to attempt to shut down the independent counsel, he will get labelled as a Trump stooge, and be viewed as biased.

the IC investigation is in a slow burn.....whats the issue with waiting a few more weeks to average the IG report / findings?

That said, I fully support Jordan, others and their efforts to light him up today.....

extremely careless is when I chip the family heirloom china. Gross negligence is when I leave the top secret war plan on the bus. Treason is when I sell it to a Russian spy.

Yeah, man.

typical disrespect of the President in the CNN headline:

FBI Director Christopher Wray defends agency after Trump’s attacks

Wray gets a title but not The President! disgusting.

FBI like so many federal gub mint agencies have been destroyed by obammy and company bias.
No confidence in any aspect of this gub mint.

It *is* best for the IG to wait a few weeks to pull the pin, when more voters are paying attention. Obama et. al. fleeing the country Dec. 31 would be the best New Years ever!

Wray was put in to ferret out and clean the swamp - if he takes the recent hints and does the right thing, he will be bolstered by Trump...if not, he is just filling the seat for a while. Has to hurt to have to air out the dirty laundry of such and organization if you are in charge of it but with trump in the WH, it is a prime time to do such with expectations that the agency will be boosted and the only casualties will be the bad guys - which will increase the morale of the day-to-day grinders.
