On Wednesday, December 11, FBI Director Christopher Wray announced his resignation. Wray plans to stay until the end of President Joe Biden's term, but he will be gone by the time President-elect Donald Trump is sworn in on January 20, 2025.

Trump, who has nominated far-right MAGA conspiracy theorist and QAnon supporter Kash Patel for FBI director, made no secret of his plan to fire Wray. Appointed to a ten-year term in 2017, the current FBI director opted to quit before he got fired.


Journalist Andrew Egger, in an article published by the conservative website The Bulwark on December 13, argues that Wray would have been better off staying until after Trump's inauguration — then waiting for Trump to fire him. By resigning, Egger laments, Wray has made things easier for "lackey" Patel.

Egger explains, "Trump — the man who nominated Wray in the first place — long ago deemed Wray a deep state enemy for, among other things, permitting the FBI's search of Mar-a-Lago in what would become part of the classified-documents case against him…. So Trump decided —decades of precedent of keeping the FBI independent of political influence be damned — that he'd simply fire Wray and replace him with an FBI director more his style. Kash Patel, Trump's replacement pick, checks every box that matters."


The Bulwark journalist continues, "He is slavishly devoted to Trump personally, has few prospects outside MAGA World — and so, couldn't afford to betray Trump even if he wanted to, and nurses his own burning hatred toward Trump's foes."

Patel, Egger warns, "spent years publicly auditioning for the role by going on right-wing podcasts and listing the people he'd like to see prosecuted, the lists of names rolling effortlessly off his tongue."


"(Wray) could have forced Trump to actually go through with the act of firing him," Egger stresses. "Instead, he judged that the best way to set the FBI up to survive Trump was to ease the handover to Trump's hand-picked lackey."


%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%


Emperor Trump (POTUS is non existent), is putting everything in place to ensure a smooth run of his decrees. He long time ago took over the Republican Party(not sure why they don't just call it the Trump Party) owns the Supreme Court and will now own the DOJ alongside a long list of other government departments. 


Happy days TrumpZombies.

You'll notice how poor Denise, in true coward fashion, hasn't made a single post about how/why someone he thinks is stupid, abhorrent, criminal, dishonest, etc...obliterated his team in this election. One would think that the massively positive sentiment in the US right now would be some cause for reflection. ...Denise chooses to go the other way.

For the left there is no criticism of their own..and when there is, for example of Biden and Harris after the botched election, it’s through clenched teeth. Quisling is so far gone, even that is beyond him. He can see literally nothing good about Trump

Denny

I am sorry - bu most f your bove quoe is BS.   I jus wan to quote ne thing from eh above and give yout the eal sitution.

It was, of course, not Wray who was dragging the FBI into the political fray. Trump—the man who nominated Wray in the first place—long ago deemed Wray a deep state enemy for, among other things, permitting the FBI’s search of Mar-a-Lago in what would become part of the classified-documents case against him. (Quick reminder: Trump did have reams of illicit classified materials at Mar-a-Lago, and as Will Saletan reminds us in a piece for the site today, those felony charges were perhaps the most open-and-shut of the many and varied charges Trump faced during his interregnum.).   

The above paragraph has not a single sentense of truth bar the fact that Trump chos Wray to become the Head of t FBI.     The issue as to the Mar-el-Lago raid is total BS.  s  is Trump has declassified all documents he took to Mar-el-Lago so there were zero classied  documents at all.     First of all there were Neotiation beten the Archives Deparmnt and Trump and the Depatment sent representatives of he said Department sent representatives to -Mar=el-Lago to inspect all te documents and after negotiation Trump returned 16 boxes of  Documents to the Department - and that Department was happy to let Trump keep the remaining documents prvided they have a double lock installed with two keys namely one held by the Stte ecurtysrvice and the other by Trumps local manager,    Without those two areeing nobody could eter the strongroom where the documents were kept.   

For obvious reasons Biden was worried about what documents took that could implicate him and his family in criminalty and kept pestering Grland eventually approved sending  the FBI to collect the documents.    The Florida FBI staff mmbers ralized that it was ilga BS and refused to act on the Garland instructions/.   Incdentaly in a subsequent court case the Judge ruled that the Garland appeal to a district judge contained statementd that was illegal.   So the FBI waired until none of the Trump faily would be at home amdhen infored the press of the pensing raid,    When the  Trump staff found out that the raid was going on they got hold fo Trumps lawyer and she went to  Mar-el-Lago to witnsss what te FBI was doing - as the standard rocedure is in such cases - but they refsued her entry into the mai House,

The fuck ups then started,    The first claim was  that rump discussed with he saui ambassador what he wil do after an Iran atatck on  oil infrastructure.    That took place at least six months before Trup left the WH and the claim was he dsocused  seceive issues witha foreigner,    They could never find the Trump allegedly used and it was not amongst the documents he took to Mar-el-Lago,   So that media story sprad by the FBI went sour.   They thn set up two phtos te said the took at Mar-el-Lago and spread thoseto he emdia.    to the media.   In the subsequent court case after Smith lay charges it came ut hat the two photos were fakes and ever taena t Mar-el-Lago,    The Judge was nt imressed by that sttement.   

As si nrmal in such cases the judge granted  an application to the effect that  the FBI must return all 32 boxes of documents they took to the court for isnpection y the defense ad gave the FBI  2 ees to return the documents.   They did nt return anything  and th Judge then gave both Smith and Wray an ultiamtum that if they do not retun the docuents within two weeks she would find them guilty of undemining the court case.   

So two weeks later the FBI delivered 21 boxe of documents and kept 11 boxes somewhere and wold not retr the documents.    The Judge had enough of the BS and threw the case out of court.   Smith could apply to te jdge to allow him to appeal the cae - and he did apply - but subsequently withdrew the appliccation amd there was no open and close case as the aarticle above mentioned/   o the whoe thing is total BS.   

However, the Mar-el-Lago incident was not the only example where  Wray acted against the law and unconstitutionaly.    So th e hole article is BS.    

If you do not want to believe study what happened in the court case laid by Smith against Trump and you will find out that the Court case was thrown out by the Judge.  Ibsically came fom FBI trying BSting the Court that it happened,

Qa -non member is arch Bullshit.  Qa-non was five reactionarries and the Republican Party ban all members who join reactinaries like Qanon and KKK.   They do not allow terrorists like BLM and Antifa (both founded by Obama) as well as members of the USA Communist Party to terrorise and attack commnitoes like happened in 2020

Patel had a senior postion in Trump's WH before and nobody came upwith that BS before,  .So whhre did you get that shit from/ - Source please,

Not to bother = I found the B S in the article Denny postes.  That type of newspaper article is normally total BS   Not worth taking account of,

I stick with my original remarks - I am glad the skunk Wray is leaving - but one thing is bloody sure - he will end up in jail because of lying under oath to the Congress.   His main task apparently was to protect corrupt crooks that looted millions from Government.  No more skipping Senate becaause he had a flight to catch - the plane being a Jetstream and bought by he FBI to fight drug smuggling,   So he paid what a first class ticket on a normal commercial flightm   Under those circumstances he looted milion himself.

              

By the way the lefftist media is shitting themselves out of fear that they would be heavily find for libel and the would have to pay millions.     You lot are happ in qoting lies and get aay with it,

Nothoing tpo do with religion and tha shit is on again.   The funny part is that idiots believe that Biden as a god President because he did not rlize what is happening around him and the people of th USA suffered becaus he wasa shit Pesident and the working class cold nt afford to grf yjrot owm families.   

The election s because the Dmocrats deserted the middle class amd working class - so the majority of [eple fof mot ewant  livr in sn empire conssisting of shit who ruled by ultra-leftidd B Sters.   The later was in open attack on democracy  and like Stalinist methods by  using  FBI nd CIA to oppress peoplenad courts to do theii part to find people guilty f fak charges which were routinely rejected by higher courts,   

What is a biittr pill for the ultra-left is that the ordinary people ralized what was going n and rejeced the lawless regime.   The people of the USA do bot want to be govrned by crooks and Communism and tha is what inally happrnred/

 enny

 Sory - buit  you are talking shit.   TH  irst  lie s tht the proestors ntred the Capitol and a tacked d killed 5 polc offices and even Biden lied abouit it.   That lie was dispelled when neither the  Police - nor the Democratic Party  could  not provide names of olice offices were killed and wounded,.    Then followed another lie  -te gave a name of an ficer - he only problem is it t ned out he man died on 8 Janary 2021 from natural causes,    There was also another lie and that is that ove 30 police officeers were wonded b y the protestors - there ee n such  wounded,    Fnal  lie as there were $30 million spend on repairs of damage cause by the  eproestors.   There were some broken windows and i it cause  $3 000 damage spent on repairs.

The whole saga collapsed when the offcial House Report on the io-called attack happeed and the security cameras was released.   Again there wer NO violence aa all shown on he secury t cameras.   Then   it came ou h a anb FBI agent by he name of Ebb was seen on cameras inciting people to ener the Capitol.    He appared also appeared before the Pelosi committee and a found innicent and the clai by that  Commitee was that  he did not entered the restricted  area,   Howeve that was also a lie - the Security cameras  showed him iside the Citol still tr  ying  to incite people to become violent.    

The official House Committee report forced th Justice Dpartment to charge Ebb with the same "charges" the other peope faced so wha t happened to the charges laid agaist te Chief agitattor.   The Justice Department  was forced to lay charges against Ebb and the rgers laid was that he  trespassed on Government property ad  he got  was sentenced to 2 months  suspended on conditiont hat he perform two mot hs community srvice.

Howev3r wjhat was contitutional totally illegal was that the FBI and Jutice Department was pary to a scheme that was divised by them was to threaten arrested people that unless heya dmit gil to fake charge laid by the Justice Department   he arrested people would be kept in jail for ever,    There were 1 150 people arrested - some was not even in Washing ton at all when the incidnt happened and only 600 in despration admitted giilt and was given fake sentences and are still in jail.

Hwever about 400 people did not sign the admission of guilt forms prpared by the Justic Department and are still in prison.   When some family members f peple still n jail  took the matter to he Spreme Court  the Court fund the guilty plea totally unacceptable and insrute he Jutsiice Department to charge he accused with TRESPASSING  on Gvernment property since there was zero evidence  to indicate any  effort of in being  an nsurrecion as claimed by the Justice Department.   The Supreme Court then instruced he Departmnt to lay charge of trespasing against the remaining  prisoners,    Thsar the Justice Deparment stopped the rocss totally and since he Supreme Co urt instrucion charged nobody of thecirca 400 peple with any crimes,

The act is also that ray constantl mislead and ied iunde oath tha there were no BI agents that entered the Capitol - but the Security Evidence indicate otherwise,   Since lying to Congress when under oath is a srious crime Wray is reall plaing wih fire and despit is resignation he has charges of lying under ah on numerous occassions pending and each of those entail a sentense of 6 years in jail.     If Wray as previous BI Drectr is given jai sntence and i injail the hances of him sutviving for 6 days is really remote - he would be raped and killed within days after him being  put in jail,

The problem is that Trump as commander of the US amy gave an instruction to Milley to deplay the National Security Guard  to proec the Capitol and he ecided to disobey te order afte consuting wth Pelosi refuse o execute the insrcion rmp gae him.   iley decided o reire and thus gt out of he shit - opefuly that Harris woud win he elecion - but she did not and land a lot of liars and conspiritors in serious trouble and cou d be harged to dsbey a lawful insrcion givn to him and thus comitted high   reason.   Th only reason why he esigned was tat he coud not be cormarshalled and  dishonorably discharded  by a Cour Marhall and thsu lose his esnon benefits. - but that wil not  help him.    He will still end up in jail anyway.

Pelosi is under investigation by the House for brniery and corruption in Ukraine anyway. 

The poblm fo Wray is he dug his own grae b y being involved in uncnstitional action and the only pion of  he Dmocats and W ry imself is to aack h is sccessor -like happened in the above article you quoed.   I is not going to work out and here is no proof of anything  against Patel.   So the Demcrats have problems and the take tuns to make alse claims against Trump's nominees,     There are signs that te strateg y will not work.

What is going to it many politici and bureaucratshard is the DOGE program f magovernance and fruitess and cor upt spenditure amounting to   Trillios of ollars in he Federal Govemnt Service and that must be avoided  by making BS allegaions against nominees.   There are n ndicaions tha the staeg would work.   The Reublican Senators are more or less united to repel  attack of the BSters.

The problem is abck to Bidenand he is going to issue Padons to people inovld like eh  didwith Hunter.   Tha t sraegy workig is total BS that the courts would throw out as being illegal.   

I know he above is a bitte pil for yo u to swallow,   But hat I wroe s 100% true and the crinals involved is bod o end up badly for den and his helpers.    The DP has already ried an a ttack on the nomina ted AG - because a peson used by CNN claimed  she is "competent" and would procute al law breakers.    Enough to send the fear of hell in the Demcoats and their accomplices.  

You know that in the pesent scenario the gamme of Monopoly is clear - "Go to Jail - Go directly to jail and do not collect  $200".    The only diffeence is that what was collected was  at least $40 million in the case of the Biden Crime family exposed thus far - but probabl many mor Billios. bythe law-breakers ruinin t he contry.   Signs ar bad when for instance  the adit f he Defese Deaptment showed that nobody can account on what $80 billion was spent as expose by the ltest audit report on that Department.

Not haapp days for criminals -but more especialy so for the political and bureaucratic crimals in the Federal and State  Government going back to the Bush Junior Presidency.

My word...Denise, has there ever been a bigger coward, anywhere on earth? Gosh, you make my skin crawl. Much too frighten to post any sort of rebuttal or any thought of your own, so you post an article, and then follow it up with a cowardly move...and then follow that up with another cowardly move in waiting for Mike to post something so that you can cop out with a one-liner. The king of weasels.
