Mercer's take on Hiring Another Swamp Creature For The FBI
2017-07-15
[Townhall] Christopher Wray, President Donald Trump's FBI director nominee, seems a perfectly nice man. But nothing he has said during confirmation hearings, on July 12, distinguishes him as someone who would reform Barack Hussein Obama’s Islamophilic FBI.

President Trump ran on a quixotic set of ideas about aggressively stopping Islamic terror. Like a fly in amber, the standard operating procedures (SOP) governing the Obama Federal Bureau of Investigation guarantee to preserve the same systemic, intractable failures that unleashed mass murderer Omar Mateen or Syed Farook and bride Tashfeen Malik, to maim and murder dozens of Americans.

From Wray's comments to the Senate Judiciary Committee, we know how he'll bravely break with President Trump but that he's partial to his predecessor, James Comey. To wit, Wray said he sided with Comey in rejecting a domestic surveillance program in 2004, "... not because he knew the substance of the dispute," but because of his affection for Comey.

Given his unalloyed loyalty, Wray'll be unlikely to remove from FBI training manuals the fiction about Jihad being a peaceful pillar of the Islamic faith.

To get a sense of how the outfit being glorified by the Senate panel operates, consider this: You hire a private firm to protect you, only to discover that, as part of your protection plan, your protectors undergo sensitivity training to desensitize them to potential perpetrators and evil-doers, thus giving the latter easy access to you and yours. This "strategy" would endanger your life. The company executing this harebrained scheme, moreover, would be in violation of its contractual obligation to keep you safe. If you came to harm, you'd sue.

But first, fire the fools before they get you killed.

#2  The problem is, 'swamp dwellers' are all that are available at this level and at this point in time. The machinery needs to function, and you sometimes have to go with the 'least bad' option, at least in the near term, and hope you have the option to correct things down the road.

Islamophilia - Criminal activity or disease ?
