Is Director Wray nearing retirement? Sorry to tell Director Wray that Trump is scapegoating him, no different than any other FBI Director he could not get to play his game, as Barr does.
If I may?
The US House is currently and rightfully drawing up Articles of Impeachment. While the US House carried out an Impeachment Inquiry we heard how the DOJ Inspector General was preparing a document that would show how the FBI spied and sought to undermine the Trump campaign.
That didn't happen. Now, Trump turns to pandering Barr and a US Attorney that is bringing information from abroad into the review of the agency. I can't help but speculate that the US Attorney what's his name? Durham? Dunham? Whatever, will carry the theme, "From Russia with love."
I fully expect there to be Russian information that implicates Ukraine in the 2016 campaign. That is the propaganda circulating through the Trump universe and it will be a bottom line to some of that information. What the US Attorney will have no CONTROL over is the acceptance of this information. While the DOJ would not NORMALLY accept foreign government information to taint determination of a review of the FBI, Trump wants this and Barr will demand it.
It is normal for international intelligence agencies to SHARE information, a foreign government is not a review participant. It is ridiculous to think about the lack of control the FBI would experience in trying to please the world instead of focusing on the USA's national security.
Barr will justify the tainting of the US Attorney's review because of a certain dossier and it's citation of information from Russia. It is childish to say the least and definitely political to seek retribution over an opposition research document.
So, while Director Wray is bending over backwards to prevent politics from tainting the agency, it won't matter and he will be scapegoated as lacking the ability to carry out the work of the FBI.
It is not a legal process under Barr, it is a political process. Barr's history in the DOJ demands that assessment. He is living up to his past and at the same time in doing so is attempting to bury it. If Barr can deliver a "Deep State" for Trump he will also alleviate from and rewrite his past.
The document coming from the US Attorney is contaminated with corruption. Already. What valid investigation by a US Attorney would be made public before the fact?
I do believe Director Wray has a vital agency to run to protect the USA's security from enemies foreign and domestic. I wish him peace in his decisions.
