“Bull” is probably having trouble getting documents from Wray, the FBI,
the CIA and NSA. Employees of these agencies who are withholding
documents should be fired on the spot.
Trump has directed them to cooperate. He put Barr in charge and gave him declassification authority, which was very important to unraveling this mess.
We will see if this changes the equation because to date they have thwarted most attempts to find the truth and much of what we know is thanks to a few congressmen and Judicial Watch along with a handful of honest journalist.
Using “classification” to hide things that are embarrassing should not be tolerated in a democracy.
While I want to keep an open mind, Wray’s statements in public have not given me much faith that he is committed to daylight about the actions of his predecessor. I firmly believe that he is doing MORE harm to the FBI by not ripping off the band-aid and correctly pointing out that it was a small group at the top of the organization that did this, were played by our intelligence community (IC) and partisans at the state department, and that our IC used our allies to push the same information to a willing top floor at FBI HQ.
The truth will come out so why not be the one to reveal it and say you are taking steps to prevent something like this in the future?
The problem that the Deep State has here are the White Hats, the people working in those agencies, usually pretty low down the chain, that want this crap exposed.
So when Durham asks for a document, he probably already has it, unofficially - but he wants it officially. If it’s not coughed up when requested, then questions start to be asked.
That’s why it’s ALWAYS good to comply with these types of requests if you have nothing to hide, and it’s often good to comply, even if you do have something to hide...considering that it’s often much easier to punish someone for knowingly withholding documents, then to punish them on the contents of the documents, particularly if they can afford good lawyers.
This story is based on an interview with Corey Lewandowski, not anyone with DOJ insight, so take it for what it likely is; wishful thinking. Agree that Durham is like getting the same stonewalling as Barr was getting before the Trump memo telling the IC to cooperate. At a minimum, every request will be delayed by several months or longer under the guise of the “careful declassification process”.
Barr could speed things up by filing obstruction of justice charges against those who impede the investigation.

IMHO Wray has been a big disappointment.
