Christopher Wray's Failing PR Campaign to Save the FBI's Reputation
Red State ^ | 3/2/23 | Bob Hoge

Posted on 03/02/2023 4:45:51 AM PST by CFW

In the last couple of days, I’ve written about how FBI Director Christopher Wray admitted that his agency concluded “quite some time ago” that the COVID virus escaped from a Wuhan, China virology lab, and how “sources” recently told the Washington Post that FBI agents were against the August 2022 raid on former President’s Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.

What’s the commonality between the two stories? They both make the FBI look better, and they both indicate that Wray might be playing a game of CYA and distancing himself from the dictatorial, partisan Attorney General, Merrick Garland.

While the author makes some interesting points, I don't think Wray cares about the FBI's reputation. Why should he? They can do what they want and even break laws, all without any repercussions. If I had falsified evidence submitted to a Court, I would still be in jail to this day. Their agent received a finger wag with a comment of "maybe you shouldn't have done that", and then went on his merry way.

The FBI has been able to manufacture or withhold evidence against January 6th defendants, place them in jail in solitary confinement for over two years, and there they remain. All with the participation of the Courts. That's just a couple of things they have done recently. And the FBI continues with such behavior to this day. So, I say again, Wray doesn't care because it doesn't matter, as there will be no repercussions for any crimes they commit. A corrupt agency IS the FBI's reputation and I believe they are proud of it.

I think the FBI cares insomuch as it requires average Americans to trust and cooperate with it. Lots of January 6 prisoners made the fatal mistake of cooperating with the FBI because they thought they had nothing to hide and they were "the good guys".

The FBI needs people not tuned in to the news to think the Sean Hannity line that "99% of the FBI are patriotic Americans who want to protect us."

“Christopher Wray admitted that his agency concluded “quite some time ago” that the COVID virus escaped from a Wuhan, China virology lab”

But note that the FBI WEAPONIZED that information to attack China just a day or two after China made it clear that they will sell weapons to whatever countries they please, and that INCLUDES RUSSIA. So if he’s trying to ‘clean up’ the FBI (which is hopeless, of course), or at least give that impression, it’s not working in my book.

He could start by wiping that smug grin off his face.

Collected a few ill gotten watches and bottles of wine that had sat in the sun then called the media. Such transparency.

I got so sick of that line from Hannity. I haven’t listened to his show in some time. Now when he comes on I switch the station to classic rock. His habit of interrupting an interesting speaker just when they were about to make an important point just became too aggravating. And having Lindsey Graham on all the time. Argh! His show is to keep the right entertained and believing there are some good guys out there. And he lies about having “inside info” that something is going to be done about the left’s corruption. It’s entertainment. That’s all.

The latest “we were just following orders to raid Mar-a-lago” excuse falls particular flat.

As the judges noted in the trial of various “good Germans”, following order’s reluctantly, despite knowing something is wrong is, in many ways, far more evil than a true believer thinking he was doing a great thing.

The FBI knows it is being used to target political opponents of the regime, but does it anyway.

Guilty!

I don't trust the government. What was the role of Fauchi in enveloping the covid bio weapon. What were the roles of FIB, CIA, DARPA and other nations in developing he bio weapon. What other weapons were they planning on using on us?

It took a long time for the FBI to earn the trust of the majority of the American people. They let that African bassturd O’Bama and his buddy, Holder, destroy that trust and turned them against the American people. I don’t know what they were thinking. It’s a damn shame.

The FBI has designated parents who attend school board to complain as domestic terrorists. There is a memo instructing agents to target Catholics, especially Latin mass parishes. How is the public supposed to respond to that? What can the bureau say that justifies that?

Still waiting for the huge stampede of Hannity's 99% leaving the FBI and turning into whistleblowers because of their personal ethics, honor and patriotism.

I agree. Wray is operating from the premise that one just has to fool 'enough people'.
The unintended consequence is at the next Bundy type standoff, the Bundys may not believe the FIBs.

I think a similar dynamic occurred in the wake of Ruby Ridge and Waco at Klamath Falls and Elko.

The FIBs just don't have the resources if the population won't cooperate, even with non FIB 'assets'..

“Christopher Wray’s Failing PR Campaign to Save the FBI’s Reputation”

You mean the interview with Brett Baier where he tossed Wray softball questions with no follow up didn’t help?

How does he justify sending in entire swat teams to arrest non-violent abortion protesters in front of their family or 70 year old Roger Stone. Always notifying the media first. When they could have called them and asked them to turn themselves in.

Just looking at the guy with that ever present smirk on his face tells me he is a dishonest person.

“A corrupt agency IS the FBI’s reputation and I believe they are proud of it.”

The evidence all points that they don’t care about justice, the perception of justice, or any American value. Yes, they could have advanced change already so they must agree and be proud of what they have become.

The abortion protestor just intervened when a pro-abort started getting aggressive with his son.

Local and state authorities refused to prosecute. He tried to turn himself in, the FBI refused so they could go in with rifles and ballistic shields to terrify his family. Fortunately the jury immediately acquitted the father.

Anymore, there is very little difference between the FBI and Antifa. They both use violence in the service of left wing politics. The FBI is Antifa with a sloppy coat of “law enforcement” paint.

The FIB’s “reputation” was flushed down the toilet by the far left Democrat leadership of the FIB years ago. They have gone out of their way to make enemies of their once traditional supporters on the law and order Right. Now many of us want to see the FIB be broken up and abolished.
