This is really painting Wray into a corner. How is he going to weasel out of this?
Simple answer: matter is under investigation and the material belong to a grand jury investigation so is also covered by grand jury secrecy. In essence that is what he will say.
In a dictatorship like the dems say Trump runs, two interrogators from DOD would sweep him up and bring him to Diego Garcia and begin a water board cruise for him along with some electrical stimuli.
Wray will stall for a few weeks. And then the computer will be missing.
Golly, Senator Johnson, we put it right where we put all the other really, really important stuff, like Gen. Flynn’s 302; but somehow it just seems to have gone missing. But don’t worry; I’m going to institute an agency wide workshop on how better to keep track of these things. And it will be a mandatory workshop at that!
Like he always does, pretend it isn't happening and keep stonewalling, delay delay delay and try to run out the clock. So long as Barr puts up with it ... and worse, protects Wray ... he'll keep that up.
What are you talking about???
Congress, and its committees, have no law enforcement powers.
If Trump had the power to fire Wray, he would have fired him long ago. That he has the AUTHORITY to do so does not mean his lawful orders will be obeyed, and they usually are not.
Wray has 17 days to tough it out, and thetre is an excellent chance all of this will disappear.
Ron Johnson is bluffing with a weak hand, and everyone knows it.
