He was in a June 2020 press conference. I think he took no quesions. He just read from a page. Hardly looked at the camera or reporters. I thought at the time, he's just afraid of being fired so he's quietly doing his job. Avoid the spotlight. But was it fear? Or embarrassment? Shame? Complicity? I don't know, I don't think a visage can be read with great accuracy, and especially without comprehensive knowledge. So it remains just a thought.

And this post is about Wray. Seems the OP and discussion began with Comey but I was responding to the last couple paragraphs.

Comey was a willing accomplice, and got what he deserved. 11 days before the general election, JohnSJ Oct 2021 #17

I do not believe Comey was an "accomplice" in the attempted coup. kentuck Oct 2021 #18

He disobeyed a direct order from the attorney general and violated the hatch act by releasing JohnSJ Oct 2021 #23

Still, even with the emails, nobody thought Hillary was going to lose the election. kentuck Oct 2021 #26
