Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) took a cautious approach to Kash Patel, President-elect Trump’s nominee to serve as head of the FBI, highlighting his support for current FBI director Chris Wray.
“I think the president picked a very good man to be the director of the FBI when he did that in his first term,” Rounds told ABC “This Week” on Sunday.
“When we meet with him behind closed doors, I’ve had no objections to the way that he’s handled himself, and so I don’t have any complaints about the way that he’s done his job right now,” the GOP senator added about Wray.
Wray was nominated by Trump in 2017 to serve a 10-year term leading the FBI. Trump’s announcement on Saturday indicated he plans to fire Wray and replace him with Patel, a staunch and loyal ally and controversial figure.

I doubt Thune will ever recess congress so Trump can recess appoint him, this is a game they’ll play for 2 years until we lose both houses.
Ok Ivan.
About time for the Diva Party’s soloists to begin their arias.
Wray went through Melania’s underwear drawer in a no-notice raid. He allowed massive FBI abuses. He allowed the FBI J6 set up Fedsurrection. He himself either admits he didn’t know how many Feds were in the riot and is incompetent, OR he lied to Congress and said he didn’t. He has to go.
Tells you everything you need to know about the corrupt Mr. Rounds right there.
I kind of like the sound of Chainsaw Patel ripping up the floorboards of the FBI Building to get the termites out into the light
I think hardspunned is probably right. Either Trump goes the acting route or capitulate like he did with Bondi
from wiki:
2020 presidential electionOn January 9, 2022, Rounds said that the 2020 presidential election was not stolen from Donald Trump: “[We] looked at over 60 different accusations made in multiple states. While there were some irregularities, there were none of the irregularities which would have risen to the point where they would have changed the vote outcome in a single state”. Rounds said the election was fair, and added that Republicans should stop making arguments to the contrary: “If we simply look back and tell our people, ‘Don’t vote because there’s cheating going on,’ then we’re going to put ourselves in a huge disadvantage. So, moving forward, let’s focus on what it takes to win those elections. We can do that.”[54] Trump responded by calling Rounds a “jerk”, “crazy” and “stupid” and accused him of being “woke” for acknowledging the election results
I must have missed that!
When did Trump cave on Bondi?
Too bad Rounds. The president can remove the FBI director.
Musk and his Powerful PAC has already said he will target RINO’s who
stand in the way of reform.
Other powerful rich Trump Donors will join the fray against these Bull RINOs too.
Gaetz > Bondi...she’ll be approved
Don’t forget spying on Catholics and parents at school board hearings.
The very first time Wrayopened his mouth, I had him pegged as a weasal..
“””“I think the president picked a very good man to be the director of the FBI when he did that in his first term,” Rounds told””””
Here we go again. Unfortunately, the never-Trump Republican Senators are the majority.
Post Jan 20th is going to be a fight among Republicans and not an easy effort to get the USA back on track.
Have we checked Rounds brain for implants. Trump will do what he has to do in spite of the RINO plurality in the Senate.
Apparently Rounds has no problem with that. When is he up for election? Can he be primaried?
You’ll look sillly when we gain 20-30 seats in 2 years.
Past results are no assurance of future performance.
Support for Wray?
Ok, ummm, he is going to be fired Mr Rounds. You aren’t President and your support means Jack and Shiite and Jack just left town.
