Wray goes away (Finally), Plus other blood in the water

The current FBI Director is on his way out. This, two days after Senator Grassley asked him to resign.

Grassley writes. (One can see the entire letter HERE.)

At the very beginning of your tenure as FBI Director, I presented you with evidence of the FBI’s failure to adequately investigate Hillary Clinton’s mishandling of highly classified information when she was Secretary of State, another example of federal law enforcement double standards. Consistent with that FBI failure, yet another glaring example of FBI’s broken promises under your leadership is its inexcusable failure to investigate bribery allegations against former Vice President Joe Biden, while strictly scrutinizing former President Trump. You’ve repeatedly claimed you would ensure the FBI does justice, “free of fear, favor, or partisan influence.” The FBI under your watch, however, had possession of incriminating information against President Biden for three years until I exposed the existence of the record outlining those allegations, but did nothing to investigate it. This record, known as an FD-1023, documented allegations of bribery between and among then-Vice President Biden, Hunter Biden, and Ukrainian officials. The FBI confidential human source (CHS) behind this FD-1023 was on the FBI’s payroll during the Obama administration, paid hundreds of thousands of dollars, was given permission to violate the law, and the information he provided was used in prosecutions.

Plus all sorts of other nasty stuff. We assume that soon to be former Director Wray isn’t going to lose any sleep over any of the accusations. It’s hard to imagine even Kash Patel going full-on hardcore against a former director of the FBI. (But hey, who knows?)

In other corruption news the Secretary of the Army just fired, for the first time in two decades, a four star general.

It seems the flag officer was grooming and pulling strings for a subordinate officer, with whom he also apparently had a relationship, who had been deemed “unfit for command”.
