Pres. Biden is keeping FBI Director Wray on the job.

I am sure President Biden knows what is the best for the leadership at the FBI and needs to keep the consistency of the agency’s work. Especially right now? The Trump problems and the insurrection. Plus, Director Wray did not cave to Trump. He may just be the right person for the job right now?

He's actually been on the RW terror groups already, though I think he kept a low profile because of Trump.

For now, I'm good with keeping Wray on the job. Give him a few months, at least. So many more pressing needs, IMO.

Biden firing Wray could give ammo to the Rs to say it was Biden protecting Hunter, therefore calling MORE attention that sordid affair than is deserved.

It's hard to call something a witch hunt if the person you nominated does the hunting.

Wray brought a sense of stability to them so I think this is a good move. Just my opinion.

Sends a message that Biden is not trying to manipulate the FBI in any way as opposed to the tactics of the previous POTUS.
