My friend went to school at Yale with him and knew him. He is a republican but is not a wingnut.

Locking up children in cages. He’s credibly accused of rape dozens of times. So no. Sorry but no benefit for these people. This country is completely screwed because of republicans.

it is the FBI that sent the subpoena's to Apple and other companies to get the information on reporters, congressmen and staff, and Don McGahn. He is involved in this as well.

They delivered the subpoenas and gathered the information for the DOJ. Wray admitted that today.

speaking of overriding President Biden's decisions and cleaning house for him, which theory do we ascribe to:

a) Biden's a senile tool of the real people running the country?

b) Biden (and presumably the rest of our Democratic Party leadership) are actually in league with the same people who control the Republican Party and our asses are enslaved grass and we just don't know it yet?

T***p related investigations and Joe Biden knows it’s very important to keep continuity going with a trusted Director. Wray kept the Hunter Biden crap out of the election and also stated the 2020 election was secure and trusted. He said 1/6 was domestic terrorism.

Go to any right wing site and they hate him and the DOJ more than folks here. Because they generally refused to support trumps election stealing conspiracy.

My dad always taught me that a person in a role that is supposed to be non-partisan should be hated by both sides. That how you know they are doing their job.

I don’t want a Democratic Barr.

Because we strongly believe there have been all kinds of laws violated does not mean they can be proven.

I know that won’t be popular here. But it’s the way I believe. The FBI director gets a 10 year term unless guilty of misconduct. Trump fired Comey for not supporting him. I don’t want Joe doing the same thing.

Wray being one of them. Donald publicly embarrassed them. Got involved where he shouldn’t have and made the FBI look bad. I’m not saying I’d vote for Wray. That’s not my thing. I am saying he seems to be overall apolitical and has a grip on things. I don’t think he has any respect for Donald or any of Donald’s inner circle. But he isn’t going to tell you that because he is doing his job.

We need to get all the rubbish trump left behind out of every department, agency or office. They are a danger to our country. We really are at war with the Americans that Russia and fox propaganda have brainwashed.

Russia and China are winning the war against the USA from within, through social media and through fox/OANN/Newsmax propaganda. I know Saudis are helping, too, as they own 6% of fox, and are of course responsible for 9/11.
