WASHINGTON — The Senate overwhelmingly confirmed Christopher A. Wray as the next F.B.I. director on Tuesday to steer the United States’ premier law enforcement agency through a politically fraught period as it investigates whether any of President Trump’s associates colluded with the Russian government during last year’s election.
The confirmation of Mr. Wray, a former federal prosecutor, is likely to be a relief to many agents at the F.B.I. who want a strong director to stave off any attempts by the White House to meddle in its investigations. The deteriorating relationship between Mr. Trump and the previous F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, was widely viewed as harmful to the bureau.
Mr. Trump summarily fired Mr. Comey in May, infuriating many F.B.I. agents who saw it as disrespectful.

“Frog-march” Used WWII to describe French who were marched out of France by Hitler on their day of infamy.
“Frog-march” is “perp walk,” derivation about 1871.

Now, Mr. Wray can take the script that acting director of the FBI proclaimed: First thing to do [blank] McCabe, the [blank] Hillary...
or something along that line....

"Christopher Wray confirmed as FBI Director by a 92-5 vote. No votes were Gillibrand, Markey, Merkley, Warren, Wyden" That's disturbing. I would have hoped for a 50-50 tie requiring Pence as the tie breaker.

It’s a term to describe the perp, escorted by two large men( each holding upper arms on each side) moving at their pace, holding the perp a few inches off the ground. The perp, trying to walk, keep up, flails the legs; like holding up a frog and watching it kick it’s legs to find purchase.

You bet it is. This guy defended Mueller and said no way was it any kind of witch hunt, condemned water boarding under any circumstances. 92-2 is a VERY bad sign, I am pessimistic.

Almost all the Democrats were just fine with him. That about says it all.

I doubt it is the WH that worries the FBI. It is Comey and McCabe who have cast the agency in such bad light.

Goodman is claiming that Christopher Wray is already started investigating Clinton Emails. He doesn’t give a source.
