FBI Director Christopher Wray is sitting in an increasingly hot seat as Republicans and the White House press forward with investigations into what President Trump is calling “Obamagate.”
Congressional Republicans are pressing Wray to provide more information after recently released FBI field notes showed officials debating how to handle the case against former national security adviser Michael Flynn.
The controversy over the notes contributed to Attorney General William Barr’s contentious decision to drop charges against Flynn, despite his guilty plea.
The president argues the charges against Flynn were trumped-up and that officials in the Obama administration leaked information about Flynn’s phone conversations with Russia’s former U.S. ambassador after learning Flynn’s identity in intelligence reports to hurt his incoming administration.
Trump and Republicans have also criticized the FBI in their public remarks, suggesting agency officials may have been biased against Flynn and Trump.
Democrats say Barr’s unprecedented decision to drop charges against Flynn after he pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI was a political move that has undermined the Department of Justice.
Wray is the man in the middle who is charged with leading his embattled organization while reporting to a president deeply suspicious and critical of the FBI and to congressional Democrats with oversight over federal law enforcement.

Probably not a lot, since it is already obvious that they aren't willing to do their jobs.
I propose we shut down the FBI completely and sell the employees into slavery.

Would it be better to give the FBI employees to the Muslims here as incentive to take back to the ME as slaves? That Wray we deal with 2 problems at once.
I am with you on that.
Mr Wray appears to be playing the part of a traffic cop with no arms.
stuck? Yeah , right.
He owns this mess .. He should have thought about that before leaving his other job.
His inactions and continued indifference to getting to the truth and owning it for the agency shows how cowardly he is.
Relying on John Durham is a foolhardy proposition and who knows when that dam will burst anyway?
They’re all fools.The natural disposition is always to believe. It is acquired wisdom and experience only that teach incredulity, and they very seldom teach it enough. The wisest and most cautious of us all frequently gives credit to stories which he himself is afterwards both ashamed and astonished that he could possibly think of believing. — Adam Smith, Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759)
