If Wray is resigning to block Patel from sneaking into the head FBI office, let him say so explicitly, as long as he's being so fucking honest and blunt and plain-spoken and blah blah blah.
One possible consideration is that Wray knows Trump will demand that the FBI investigate all of Trump's enemies, and Wray didn't want to be involved in that.
Wray could step down now and allow Biden to appoint someone the Republican Senators might like to confirm as FBI director and then force Trump to fire someone the Senate wanted and appointed? I know, it's pure fantasy, but that's the only world I can stand to live in at the moment.
He doesn't need his pension. He came out of King and Spaulding as a partner to take that FBI director gig. Strictly speaking, he didn't even need the salary. Come on.
David French worked for a hate group (Alliance Defending Freedom) and is seemingly unable to use logic or reasoning to separate his personal bigotry from policy arguments or is just a liar so I tend not to listen to him either way!
"Donald Trump's allies are furious at outgoing FBI director Christopher Wray's final actions overseeing the law enforcement agency.
The Trump-appointed Wray announced he would resign at the end of president Joe Biden's administration, but in the meantime he has reportedly begun promoting employees among the senior executive service – which has set off howls from the MAGA world.
"Mr. Wray has already begun promoting employees among the senior executive service, those who serve within the bureau’s leadership, according to sources within the bureau who described it as an effort to burrow establishment figures deeper within the FBI," said Kerry Picket, senior congressional reporter for the Washington Times. "According to the sources, a plan is being formulated to slow-walk the new FBI director’s entry at the agency for three to four months. Such a strategy by the agency is risky given the long, tense history the FBI and Mr. Trump have had since the 2016 presidential campaign.""
Don’t be too quick to trash Wray unless his reason really is to preserve his pension.
I think he is Real. Fuck the donOLD.
DDD MY Brothers and Sisters
Haven't even read it yet, but you got a like just for the title. 😂
Ta, Evan.
Little bug-eyed taintlicker!

So let him say "No", and let him be fired.
Nobody remembers what Preet Bharara did?
He was correct and didn’t want a fight.

I guess Wray K$S'ed in his chips on his way out....
GOOD.
Wray quit because he didn’t want to end up like Andrew McCabe and have to fight Trump in court to keep his pension.
He doesn't need his pension. He came out of King and Spaulding as a partner to take that FBI director gig. Strictly speaking, he didn't even need the salary. Come on.

Pure genius. Goddamit, EVAN STOP MAKING ME ADMIRE YOUR SKILLS.
That whole paragraph was (chef's kiss) perfection.
True. Dammit, I hate him. :)

Wray’s smart enough to know that he’s a target whether he fights for his job or not. He’s sincere about holding the rank and file away from the fire.
He's also making last-minute promotions of people who (hopefully) will be able to hamper Chump's plans to use the FBI as his personal Gestapo.
This is the first good thing I've heard about this whole thing
