John Sununu: FBI Director Wray will try to cover up FISA abuse report
washington examiner ^ | 8/19/2019 | daniel Chaitin

Posted on 08/19/2019 6:17:04 PM PDT by bitt

FBI Director Christopher Wray is the biggest obstacle to transparency regarding to Justice Department inspector general report on alleged surveillance abuses, according to one Republican figure.

John Sununu, the former governor of New Hampshire and White House chief of staff for President George H.W. Bush, reacted Monday to South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, who said he wants "as much as possible" declassified from Inspector General Michael Horowitz's inquiry into alleged misconduct with using the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.

"I think they should see it all because frankly there’s nothing there of substance that applies to any real intelligence process. It was all a fabricated set of intelligence relationships that were being used to entrap, if you will, the Trump administration," Sununu said on Fox News.

Sununu said he believes the American public will see "a great deal" of the report, which is expected to be released as early as September, though he warned Wray might try to hide some of its findings.

"The only person over there that I think is going to try and prevent that is Christopher Wray who I think has really been co-opted by the FBI bureaucracy," Sununu said.

This is the report which was promised to be released in May, then, June, then July. I think it’s been promised to be released since last year.

It’s never going to be released, if it even exists, which I’m being to doubt.

Nice to see Sununu actually get something right for once. But damn, I wish Trump would get rid of Wray...it’s very hard to drain a swamp when a guy is plugging it up.

If Wray is “co-opted” by the FBI, he’s WILLINGLY CO-OPTED.

I’ve been told repeatedly that little or nothing is going to come out of this report.
I hope that’s not the case, but I’m steeled for a “nothing-burger”.

Well I'll be darned! Coming from RINO Sununu that is amazing. I would have thought he'd carry the water for the Deep State.

It must be the end times. Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling, 40 years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes! The dead rising from the grave! Human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria!

What is Sununu up to now? I just did a couple of searches and couldn’t find what he’s doing now; was chairman of NH Rep. Party until 2011. I always like to know about people when they make public statements that I wonder about.

I did find this:

I think the whole thing will be released and I don’t think a damn thing will be done to a single traitorous coupster, despite Q-tip claims.

Correct. He was supposed to be an “outsider.” I think the fix was in from the get go.

I can’t stand this smarmy little twit. He and Deep Stroke are Smarm and Smirk.

I suspect that the president will grade Wray on this matter and that unless he gets an “A” he will get a ink slip.

I think he should can Wray before morning.

That's the $64,000 question.

One of Trump’s campaign promises was to hire the best people. https://www.cnbc.com/video/2016/09/15/trump-ill-choose-the-best-people-for-my-administration.html

Wray, Manafort, Scaramucci, Sessions, Gary Cohn, Rex Tillerson, McMaster, Kelly, K.T. McFarland, Priebus, Bannon, Tom Price, Omarosa, Rob Porter are just a few who come to mind.

If Trump is having trouble draining the swamp, perhaps he should be looking at the people he is hiring for key slots.

Sununu and Bagpipe Bob Barr both worked for #41, so overboard goes Wray.

Trust Their Plan, They Do.

"How does Trump continue to appoint these Deep Staters?"

Who outside of the Deep State would have the necessary resume to get confirmed by the Senate? Even if such a person existed would they be willing to suffer the gauntlet of scorn and ridicule that goes with serving the President? Trump has to settle for best available nominee which is not necessarily the best person to advance the President's agenda.

“This is the report which was promised to be released in May, then, June, then July. I think it’s been promised to be released since last year.”

Every month, they say it will be released next month. Hard to come up with a more cynical way to sucker people who really want to know.
