| Christopher Wray Not the Man to 'Proudly' Fix the FBI |
| 2018-06-16 |
| [PJ] What was going on in Donald Trump's head when he tweeted Friday in response to the inspector general's devastating report on the FBI that "Christopher Wray will bring it proudly back!"? Perhaps the president thought he had better things to do than face another interminable nomination battle for a new director. Or perhaps he was trying to co-opt Wray. But if the FBI is meant to come back, proudly or otherwise, Christopher Wray is not the man. He is part of the problem. In fact, Wray's continuance as director signals the government is not serious about significantly reforming the FBI and that what changes will be made will be essentially cosmetic, lipstick on the proverbial pig. (The inspector general's report can be read that way as well.) This is not just because Wray worked under James Comey in his first important job as assistant attorney general in charge of the criminal division (2003-2005). That would be guilt by association, although in this instance it's some association. What's more important is what Wray himself has done recently or, more specifically, has not. |

| #3 We need some bad ass scorched earth legal type with a military background to go in there and kiss ass and take names. I honestly can't think of a single person currently in Washington that is up to the job. It would be the death by a thousand cuts as the MSM would gleefully print every negative leaks and cry of woe and of course make up a few to make this transforming personality look like a cross between Torquemada and Jeffery Daumer. |

| #2 Yeah. My dairy farmer father in law called it "greencutting." At least you wind up with silage. |

| #1 There are seasons in farming when the crop simply cannot be saved and must be ploughed under. I believe this is such a season. |
