The guy that Trump appointed to run the ‘Bureau’ back during his first term gets the message he isn’t wanted anymore….
Nevermind the Congress 10 year guarantee thing….
FBI Director Christopher Wray announced Wednesday he plans to resign from the agency, leaving his post ahead of President-Trump’s apparent plans to fire him.
“After weeks of careful thought, 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,” Wray said in a town hall meeting.
“My goal is to keep the focus on our mission — the indispensable work you’re doing on behalf of the American people every day. In my view, this is the best way to avoid dragging the Bureau deeper into the fray, while reinforcing the values and principles that are so important to how we do our work.”
Trump nominated Kash Patel to lead the FBI, signifying his plans to fire Wray, who he nominated to lead the investigation bureau in 2017 and who would otherwise not finish his term until 2027.
Patel has proved a controversial choice to lead the agency, particularly among those concerned about comments mirroring Trump’s calls for retribution.
Wray has led the agency under a time of increased scrutiny, taking the reins after Trump fired then-FBI Director James Comey.
He’s fond of stressing that the agency must always “do the right thing in the right way” both before lawmakers and FBI staff amid heightened distrust in the agency….
