I don’t recall this ever happening when Comey was director, only when Wray was appointed.
The difference is who is President.
The deep state swamp has been infecting DC for a long time - full of corrupt, power-happy bureaucrats whose agendas are self-advancement and cya.
They don’t have a clue what is special about our self-governing Republic or the Constitution. They have no allegiance to We the People because our individual rights are an obstacle to their tyrannical self-advancement.
It isn’t an ideology that drives them - it is a lust for power and self-advancement at the expense of We the People, who are supposed to have the power.
The only difference between the behaviors of Comey and Wray is who was President at the time.
While Trump was President, the deep state went into a temporary holding pattern. Now they are back on the offensive.
You are not paying attention....
