Moving the Overton Window.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • President Trump hinted he could fire FBI director Christopher Wray over unproven allegations he is stalling on cooperating with the Russia probe

  • 'I wish he was more forthcoming. He certainly hasn't been,' Trump told Fox Business' Maria Bartiromo

  • The FBI is one of Trump's favorite punching bags

  • The president also said he hoped Attorney General Bill Barr would launch prosecutions soon in the matter of the investigations into his tenure

  • 'Bill Barr has a chance to be the greatest of all time, but if he wants to be politically correct he’ll be just another guy,' he said

#12  It is not obvious Wray is doing anything to clean up the horrendous mess left behind by the Obama administration. Maybe he is not the right man to head up the FBI.

#6  ^ That's what I meant about him losing his license. He's gonna need a gig outside practicing law. Some cushy think tank or non-profit type thing where all the money is sluicing through from "donors."

#5  True but he's toxic now. What white shoe law firm is gonna hire him?

#4  ^ That would be great, but I don't see it. He's going to lose his law license, he needs to be a "stand up guy" to land his next gig.
