Trump picked him based on recommendation from the DOJ.
Ok. But, throughout all of this, it seems to me(at least) that the President knows more than it would seem. I’m thinking he knows Wray is one of them, but is keeping tabs on him in some way. Whereas, had he brought in someone from the outside, say an former high ranking NYPD guy, it would be hell getting that guy through the confirmation process, even though he’s probably more qualified than anyone that has ever held the position. Just my 2 cents.
