Trump Attacks FBI Director Christopher Wray for Warning on Russian Election Meddling

[still_one]

"President Donald Trump attacked his own FBI director Thursday in a series of vitriolic tweets. Christopher Wray had testified Thursday morning before the House Committee on Homeland Security about “very active efforts” by Russia to influence the 2020 U.S. election and “to both sow divisiveness and discord and...to denigrate Vice President Biden.” Trump, who has long contested his own intelligence agencies’ conclusions about Russian election meddling, wrote in response, “But Chris, you don’t see any activity from China, even though it is a FAR greater threat than Russia, Russia, Russia. They will both, plus others, be able to interfere in our 2020 Election with our totally vulnerable Unsolicited (Counterfeit?) Ballot Scam.” He cited no evidence for his claims about China or voting by mail. In another tweet, he wrote of the FBI’s investigation of domestic terrorism, “The Comey/Mueller inspired FBI is simply unable, or unwilling, to find their funding source, and allows them to get away with ‘murder.’”

1. Hmm...

... Mr. Wray has a calm demeanor, and he comes across and honest and knowledgeable. I watched some of him today... if I were casting an ideal spokesperson for the truth, I would cast Wray. If this blows up and Wray gets the boot, I think we would benefit from him speaking out about what he knows.

5. I think if Wray gets fired

we are in a world of hurt. Jesus, I mean everyone else is a crony. Just Wray speaking out won't cut it, the entire FBI would have to revolt.

9. The entire F.B.I. should handcuff that mob boss & his accomplices...

12. Now that would be cause for celebration. Here's hoping democracy and rule of law prevails.

13. I would drink to that if I were a drinker!!!

2. There he goes again. What surprises me, and I probably shouldn't

The number of people, especially men, and I am probably stereotyping here, don't have a problem with how much he whines and complains. As working folks, we don't get that luxury when life gives us a bad hand. Most of us, deal with it, we figure out how to get stuff done, we roll up our sleeves and go to work. He just whines and complains, like a damn toddler. Folks should really be offended by that. If you had a family member that behaved this way, you would tell them to stuff it! Nobody wants to hear you whine and complain all the damn time. Especially, when you have everything in your favor and you squander it.

7. Cult of Victimhood

They all play the part of hapless victims of the havoc they wreak. It’s like the kid who murders his parents and begs for mercy because he’s an orphan.

So, he’s the biggest victim.

4. Will Mr. Wray have to come out today and pull a Dr. Redfield?

Will Trump say he misunderstood the question or that he was confused?

6. This goes to show just how weak his own party is. They can't stand up to this joke of a President.

Trump is wholly unfit and needs to resign. Everyone he has installed and has enabled him also needs to resign.

It's a shitshow of epic proportions.

8. In other words, Trump is counting on Russian help once again to steal this election.

BTW There is no such thing as unsolicited ballots because to get a ballot you have to
be a registered voter and request a ballot be sent to you.

10. The goofiest thing that I am seeing is that the Right

is admitting that there is, or will be, Russian and Chinese election tampering, but to help Biden. The insanity never stops.

11. Hard to Fire him this close to an election...

It would boomerang on Trump...

So he might do it the way his ego works

[LiberalLovinLug]

14. I know I don't have to say this but

What leader of any country publicly criticizes and dismisses their top domestic cop after he does his job and warns citizens of actual foreign attacks to their democracy?

I just can't.......

15. potus just asked if he is looking to replace Wray

"I did not like his answer the other day"

Asked just before boarding Marine One if he’s looking to replace @FBI Director Wray, @POTUS replies: “We’re looking at a lot of different things...I did not like his answer the other day.”

16. This is not the first time he said, "The FBI Director is wrong!"
