on Lawrence O'Donnell they are Talking about FBI Director Possibly Resigning

[JI7]

on Lawrence's show they are talking about how the FBI Director Christopher Wray is thinking of resigning because of pressure from sessions and trump.

what i don't get is why do these guys let them do this ? isn't he his own independent person ? i know trump can fire him but since he is thinking of resigning he would be out of that job anyways. and even if trump fired him it would make trump look bad, ,not him . especially after the mess with comey firing.

why put up with the shit ? just tell them to fuck off (maybe not literally) .

1. kind of a career ender.

Has Comey found another job yet?

[JI7]

2. Comey is writing a book and will do a bunch of other self promotional

crap .

and he is a millionaire already so it's not like he needs the job for money.

[ucrdem]

3. When did Comey sock away a million"?

No tears for Jimbo who got served a plate of his own slime but that's probably not the way he wanted to end his working life.

[JI7]

4. he use to work for some investment company and got paid more than 175 thousand a year as

FBI director.

5. Interesting.

He'll probably be remembered as a hapless do-gooder but from what I could see he was as corrupt as hell, as corrupt as any of them. Very dangerous guy, especially since he was also a little short in the thinking-out-the-consequences department. Very glad he was cashiered.

[JI7]

6. i don't think he was corrupt but i think he was a grandstanding idiot and weak

[arthritisR_US]

10. I agree.

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

7. Noooo... LITERALLY tell 'em to fuck off!!

[Puzzledtraveller]

8. I actually think this may happen

[JI7]

9. what ? him resigning or being fired ?

[pnwmom]

11. Maybe, just maybe, he doesn't want the country to go to the 9th circle of hell.

It's bad enough being in this purgatory that we've been dealing with for the last year.

[JI7]

12. wouldn't resigning make things worse ?

[pnwmom]

13. I think so. I hope he stays. He's not a Trump guy. He's a traditional Republican FBI guy,

like Mueller and Comey.

Trump's probably wishing he never appointed him.

14. FBI documents: Andrew McCabe had no conflict in Hillary Clinton email probe

Here are some facts on this issue https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2018/01/05/fbi-documents-andrew-mccabe-had-no-conflict-hillary-clinton-email-probe/1007672001/

WASHINGTON — FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, whom President Trump has blamed for influencing the decision not to criminally charge Hillary Clinton for her use of private email server, did not oversee that inquiry while his wife was running for state office in Virginia as a Democrat, according to bureau records released Friday.

The internal documents, published on the FBI's website, support what the bureau has asserted previously: that McCabe had no conflicts when he assumed oversight of the Clinton investigation. His role began in February 2016, following his appointment as deputy director and three months after his wife, Jill McCabe, lost her bid for a state Senate seat.

McCabe has been repeatedly targeted by Trump and some Republican lawmakers, who accuse the long-time FBI official of exerting undue and partisan influence over the Clinton probe.

As recently as last month, Trump seized on McCabe's role in the Clinton inquiry and his wife's political bid, noting that Jill McCabe received nearly $470,000 from a political action committee associated with Clinton ally and Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe.
