That's what I suspected. Do you have a link? An NBC article written at the time made it sound like Wray was a Trump toadie. Whom should Trump have nominated if he believed he could stare down McConnell?
Best Trump could have done is an acting appointment.
McCain said he wouldn’t vote for anyone but Wray.
Lindsey Graham also recommended Wray.
Trump was set up. They knew how they were going to control him. Republicans were talking about Recusal under Trump, when was the last time one used that word? Recusal is lost term under Joe Biden.
Lindsey Graham and the other Republicans in the Senate were out saying how important it was for them to pass Biden’s nominees and Judges.
As l recall Trump gave Mitch a list and Wray was the only one Mitch ok’d. That treasonous prick Christie pushed Wray and when almost every rat voted for him we knew we got good screwed but good and it probably cost Trump his re-election because Wray and Barr made damn sure the steal was protected.
