…”because I’m good enough; I’m strong enough; and doggone it, people like me.”
That’s the kitchen table sensibility as projected by FBI Director Christopher Wray in this interview. It’s a communication style blending the modern term “corporate responsibility” with the patronizing mannerisms of a dad discussing sixth grade peer pressure with his tender gender-neutral offspring.
This is actually a very revealing interview to understand why 50 FBI agents chased the Russian conspiracy for two years with Robert Mueller; and why 15 FBI agents excitedly responded to a garage door pull-down rope. The emphasis is on the wrong syllable, but golly we only have a 0.4 percent turnover ratio, so we must be doing something right.
I’ve actually met a Chris Wray clone in the past. While culling a tier of toxic executive management, the CEO voice in the organization said to me: “what if you fire all of them and later find out you’re wrong?” To which I replied: “what’s more dangerous to you, my firing them and being wrong, or you keeping them around and my being right?”…
Director Wray is the guy who doesn’t deal with the toxic infection, instead he uses words like: “we have an opportunity”, “they need to be supported more”; and “I challenge you to provide continuous coaching.” Note at 09:45 Wray says “I put in place an entire new leadership team”, without even realizing that Bill Barr just removed -by force- Wray’s hand-selected chief legal counsel, Dana Boente. It doesn’t even register with him.
.
Chris Wray’s performance as FBI Director is akin to what would happen if you took a hotel manager and made him the captain of a cruise ship.
Does an FBI director, (with the exception of J. Edgar Hoover) get that close to the action, or is he a paper pusher, like most government agency heads?
If someone on a site that proposes to promote conservative thought chooses to attack someone based on a decades old, meaningless moniker. The attacker reveals a character flaw beyond repair. Or, to descend to your level for a moment, because I’m sure that reading and comprehension aren’t your forte...

“””Chris Wray also approved sending 29 armed FBI agents to rouse Roger Stone and his deaf wife out of bed”””
Good point. The Roger Stone incident should also be added to the FBI WALL OF SHAME.
Another incident deserving of honorable mention to the FBI WALL OF SHAME is when the 25 or so FBI agents ‘took a knee’ in reverence towards their BLM and ANTIFA warlords.
Watched the interview, extremely unimpressive this wray character is. Not upset at all at the illegalities at the FBI, simply saying the people are gone when asked if anyone would ever be held accountable. Totally tone deaf.
“””This is actually a very revealing interview to understand why 50 FBI agents chased the Russian conspiracy for two years with Robert Mueller; and why 15 FBI agents excitedly responded to a garage door pull-down rope”””
Except for these 65 FBI agents, 99% of the other FBI agents are really good-—according to Hannity.

hep me out now, please.
exactly how many of these 99% fibbers showed up for the pre-dawn (televised) arrest of Roger Stone?
bonus question: how many 99% fibbers showed up for the arrest of paul manafort?
PS: where is fibber sharpshooter lon horiuchi these days?
“”””Two events must happen first.
One: Durham must bring criminal charges before the end of August.
Two: Trump must win re-election.
If those two events occur, Chrissy Wray will be pimping his tell all book before the Inauguration in January.””””
My take as well. Given that, I guess we can expect that Chris Wray will be voting for Biden.
Yes, Wray is stupid...
He tried covering up everything that he could thinking that it would preserve the revered FBI.
The stupid jerk only succeeded in DESTROYING THE FBI, BY TRYING TO COVER UP THEIR CORRUPTION.
NOW, how stupid does that make you, when you think that all of this “ corruption” will not be revealed.
What a moron. How did he get to be FBI Director.
Shame on me,...look at all the other FBI Directors. Which one is worth anything.
WHAT A BUNCH OF LOSERS.
Wray is a swamp dweller and needs to go - now.
Cruise ship analogy very accurate.
When is Trump going to say to him, “YOU’RE FIRED!”?
I can only guess that under Wray’s leadership (or lack there of) that team Trump is able to garner useful information because he’s there.
That would be the textbook definition of “useful idiot”.
Wray = Sessions
This is really something vitally important for us to deal with in these times.
Wray is a typical Washington “don’t rock the boat,” CYA, bureaucrat. The government is full of them, mostly out of the career path. So sad!!
lol at posts 1 & 2... haha you’re on a roll today.
“””Wray is a typical Washington “don’t rock the boat,” CYA, bureaucrat. The government is full of them”””
To our peril, I believe we also underestimate the number of Leftists who have infiltrated the government.
A CYA bureaucrat is one thing, quite another is a Hard Core Leftist Bureaucrat.

It’s not a left-right thing any longer. What we have now is an alliance between progressives and corportists. So you have folks on the “right” advancing the progressive agenda and doing the bidding of their corporate masters.
I think when Trump wins re-election that Wray will be the first to go. Grennell needs the position.

You are correct. Corporations have given millions to advance BLM’s agenda.
But, I question whether these corporatists are ‘folks on the right’.
We have too many corporations whose leaders have forgotten how they got to where they are today under the free market system.
