Christopher Wray was the Eighth Director of the FBI. He recently announced his intent to resign in January, 2025: “I’ve decided the right thing for the Bureau is for me to serve until the end of the current Administration in January and then step down.”
Trump celebrates
President-elect Trump criticized FBI director Christopher Wray and celebrated his resignation.
Trump seems to blame Wray for raiding his home, impeaching him, and indicting him, among other things. It is interesting that Wray would do such things when Trump was the one who appointed him in the first place. Wray became FBI Director on August 7, 2017, during Trump’s first presidency.
Kash Patel
Trump claims that Kash Patel will make a better director. Kash has an interesting background in National Security. He has also written a book that indulges many of the deep state conspiracy theories I’ve heard about from Trump fanatics. His book is called “Government Gangsters”…and yet he was heavily enmeshed in the government. Was he one of the gangsters?
I think most Americans agree that we need a strong National Security team, and a fair Justice department. I’m not sure that we are on the path towards justice.
Why did Trump really backtrack on his support for Christopher Wray as Director of the FBI? Who is Kash Patel, and will he make a good Director of the FBI if he is confirmed? Will Trump backtrack on his support for Patel like he did with Wray? Who will benefit from this and who will suffer? What will become of Wray once he resigns? What would you do if you were Trump? Have you ever had to reconsider your decisions?
How would you handle this?
