White House worried FBI director could quit over Nunes memo release
CNN ^ | February 1st, 2018 | By Dana Bash, Jeff Zeleny and Evan Perez

Washington (CNN)Top White House aides are worried FBI Director Christopher Wray could quit if the highly controversial Republican memo alleging the FBI abused its surveillance tools is released, multiple sources with knowledge of the situation tell CNN.

Wray has made clear he is frustrated that President Donald Trump picked him to lead the FBI after he fired FBI Director James Comey in May, yet his advice on the Nunes memo is being disregarded and cast as part of the purported partisan leadership of the FBI, according to a senior law enforcement official.

Wray's stance is "raising hell," one source familiar with the matter said.

Wray has not directly threatened to resign after clashing with Trump over the possible release of the memo, the source added, because that is not his style of dealing with conflict.

So Wray goes on Sunday and views the memo and says nothing. Then he waits three days and now is threatening to resign? Why not come out with this Monday or Tuesday?

If he quits it’s because he’s a bureauhack just like the rest. I agree; let the bastard go.

I’m thinking CNN is displaying some wishful thinking, hoping it turns into a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Uh, worried that another corrupt democrat operative selected by an incompetent quota president might quit a corrupt bureau?
Horrors.

Wray hasn’t signed his name to anything. If he hasn’t got the guts to own this last ditch attempt to hide the filth in his Agency, then he needs to be gone. He should be leading the charge for the memo’s release but is instead trying to play to both sides - say nothing personally and hide behind unsigned press releases by the FBI weasels. As useless as Sessions.

Good. Let him go.
I’m starting to have doubts about Wray anyway.
Was’nt it Wray who said he would quit if he had to fire McCabe? Naturally, Sessions quickly fell for the bluff.

I don’t believe Trump is even the tiniest bit worried about this. It just saves him the trouble of having to fire the schmuck.

I’m not at all worried about the possibility of Wray resigning. He can be replaced with a REAL Cop.

Ya, it would have been too much to expect him to clean up the mess himself......
