Chris Wray be gone.

Roger Stone would be PERFECT to run the FBI!

He’d make a GREAT J Edgar Hoover repro!

Such a weasel, King of the Weasels, really.
 
Fun fact - by resigning, it makes a path for Patel much more difficult.

Biden should appoint Liz Cheney.

Dayum, you aren't kidding.

Just read the NY Times article about Wray's timing of his departure.

Because he is leaving the day President Biden is leaving office, the Vacancies Reform Act specifically prohibits Trump's favorite gambit, naming someone as "acting" for an indefinite period. You can't arbitrarily name an FBI director UNLESS he/she is 1) confirmed by the Senate OR 2 ) an existing department employee at a GS-15 pay grade AND 90 days already employed by an agency.

Since Donald has named fellow grifter Kashyap Pramod Vinod Patel as his choice for FBI director, he MUST undergo an up or down vote in the United States Senate before he can mismanage the Bureau.

This will put US Senators "on record" when Patel screws the pooch, as he is usually inclined to do.

Wray's "first assistant" Paul Abbate, who has been the deputy director of the F.B.I. since 2021, would legally be the interim FBI director until Kashyap Pramod Vinod Patel is confirmed.

That means that Patel's views on the Deep State and Qanon are going to come up.

In actual Senate hearings.

That will be interesting, in the Chinese sense.
 
Trump has a point about Wray and Comey.

Comey in particular was a complete nutjob, destroying Martha Stewart and Hillary Clinton’s careers before using rumors about Trump to harm him.

Wray wasnt much better. The records at Mar a Lago could have been transitioned back to government custody without a raid.
 
This will cause the necessary self-deportations methinks. (That is how we used to say, IMHO. There's nothing truly new when it comes to the nature of the human condition no matter how much education, government, money, or good intention that you desire waste on it. Just do it out of your pocket and if you cannot do that, offer the sweat off your brow [that's how we used to say labor doll.])
 
Those self-deporting do it under the pardon of their party for the services that they rendered unto it. Caesar received his due and his Praetorians received their 30 pieces of silver.

David French actually was my source. (Disclaimer - he's a guest on my go-to pod Advisory Opinion) I just didn't want to include the paywalled article...thanks for sharing.

I saw some social media objections to his position, so I think there's an avenue outside of what French mentions here.
 
Unnamed sources placed "Well High Up." We know how it works now and they act like we don't know. That's WEIRD.

“We know that they are lying, they know that they are lying, they even know that we know they are lying, we also know that they know we know they are lying too, they of course know that we certainly know they know we know they are lying too as well, but they are still lying. In our country, the lie has become not just moral category, but the pillar industry of this country.”
