Over the past three months before testing positive for COVID-19, the president had indicated to several senior officials and close associates that he intends to replace Wray near the start of a second term in office, routinely expressing dissatisfaction with the director’s performance and apparent unwillingness to swiftly root out the traitors.
Trump’s perceived enemies in the bureau, two people familiar with the president’s private remarks said. One of these sources said that when the issue of Wray’s alleged subversion came up last month, Trump said that the matter would be resolved “next year,” which this source took to mean after the 2020 election, assuming Trump emerges victorious.
But the latest rumors that are circulating on Twitter that Christopher Wray is not going to be in the position as a director of the FBI starting from today.
Chuck Callesto a Former Candidate for Florida’s 3rd Congressional District said that a DC insider confirms that Cristopher Wray is stepping down today.
Lawyer and conservative-media darling Joe diGenova, who’s informally advised Trump, told The Daily Beast on Wednesday evening that the current FBI director has “been completely inadequate and not up to the challenge of reforming the FBI,” arguing that Wray should have delivered a speech to FBI officials following the ouster of his predecessor, James Comey, about how he was “embarrassed by previous leadership.” By not doing so, the Trump loyalist contended, Wray “sent a signal that what preceded was OK. That is not a leader.”
DiGenova, who said his preferred pick for the next director is former New York City police commissioner Ray Kelly, said, “I hope Christopher Wray is removed tomorrow.”
Wray has had a rough tenure at the FBI after he was tapped by Trump to replace Comey in 2017. Trump and his allies have accused the FBI of misconduct for investigating Trump’s connections to the Russian interference in the 2016 election—some of it deserved. That’s only intensified in 2020, as Wray’s FBI has been conspicuous by its absence in the Justice Department and Department of Homeland Security crackdowns on protests in Washington, D.C., and Portland, Oregon.
The political calendar complicates plans to fire Wray. If Trump dumps him during the intermediary period before a new Congress is sworn in, or if the Republicans keep hold of the Senate, Trump can afford to lose potentially a handful of Republican votes when the nominee comes up for confirmation. Should the Democrats take control of the Senate and Trump to maintain the office, it’ll be harder to place a loyalist into the post.
But why has it taken so long? Now 1 month before the election? This should have been done a year ago and indictments should have been handed out. If Dems win, all of these criminal Dems will never see justice.
I like the idea of Ray Kelly.
Trump should fire him, and not give him an ability to control the spin.
This could be Trump “kicking him out.” Instead, it will be Wray stomping out in disgust. That should not be allowed to happen.
Me too! But Wray needs to go. He’s another swamp creature sitting on his rear taking a paycheck.
Yes, but of course not saying “Bad Comey” to the staff after Comey was out is the least of his sins. Digenova is a massive Barr cheerleader and Barr let Wray Wray for nearly three years.
“Hell, no!” to New York political sh!tbags for these positions.
Nah. Doesn’t explain why Terwilliger and Dawson are going to be at press conference. Resignations aren’t done at a presser.
It’s some kind of criminal prosecution.
Being reported this morning that the 11am conference has to do with terrorism. We will see.
So Joe said that tonight?
“””It’s some kind of criminal prosecution.”””””””””””
Probably announcing that President Trump will be charged with treason for beating the KungFlu.
I see your point, but at this point, I don’t care how it happens. It has been apparent to many of us for a long time now that Wray was and is a snake in the grass.
Let’s hope it’s not this crap I posted this link to earlier:

Who was it that advised Trump to hire these losers to begin with?
An in 2017 Trump nominated and then swore Wray in for the FBI Director role.
1. An abject mediocrity who can’t get a real job in the legal profession.
2. A thoroughly corrupt person who uses the position to line his pockets.
3. An egomaniac who takes the job just to say he’s the FBI Director.
4. A combination of the above.
Proves how USELESS the corrupt FBI is. No balls to arrest Antifa or arsonists in the West. It’s going to be another get Trump moment or some woke white supremacy BS.
Arrest of the mysterious wipers from the debate stage.
“””Lawyer and conservative-media darling Joe diGenova, who’s informally advised Trump, told The Daily Beast on Wednesday evening...
So Joe said that tonight? “””””””””””””””””””””””””””
Probably in a pre-recorded segment for Hannity.
Joe will come on and say his excellent sources tell him indictments are coming any day now.
Sara Carter will say she has the inside scoop and knows that charges will be filed tomorrow.
Linda will come on and say hearings will be held and they will get to the bottom of it.
Keep the roll going and replace Gina Haspel with Richard Grenell!!! Let’s go!!!
