The director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has seen an increase in violent threats, as have his rank-and-file agents, in the wake of the raid at former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach, Florida.

On Wednesday, FBI Director Christopher Wray called it "deplorable and dangerous" that threats were circulating online against his agents and the Department of Justice (DOJ) in the wake of the raid.

"I'm always concerned about threats to law enforcement," Wray said at a press conference in Omaha, Nebraska. "Violence against law enforcement is not the answer, no matter who you're upset with."

Many of Trump's supporters and allies have accused Attorney General Merrick Garland, the head of the DOJ appointed by President Joe Biden, for politicizing federal law enforcement agencies. But Wray was appointed by Trump in 2017.

A Republican and member of the Federalist Society, Wray began his government service as an assistant U.S. attorney in Georgia before he moved to the DOJ in 2001.

Two years later, he was nominated by then-President George W. Bush as assistant attorney general in charge of the criminal division of the department, where he worked under James Comey, who later became director of the FBI. Wray was nominated to replace Comey after his predecessor resigned.

Wray resigned from the DOJ in 2005 and went into private practice for more than a decade. During that time, he was former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie's personal attorney in the so-called Bridgegate political scandal in which members of Christie's staff were accused of conspiracy to commit wire fraud.

On June 7, 2017, Trump announced he intended to nominate Wray to succeed Comey. Wray was officially confirmed to his current post with bipartisan support among senators on August 1 of that year with a 92-5 vote and sworn in on September 28. Trump did not attend the swearing-in ceremony, making it the first time an FBI director has been sworn in without the attendance of the president who made the nomination.

I don't give a fuck what side hes on. He's breaking the shit out of the law

What part of 'in the process of doing so', 'coordinating with the FBI / DOJ' being reported do you and snowflakes not understand?

Not doing it as fast as the FBI wanted? That doesn't make a valid excuse for conducting an HISTORIC, UNPRECEDENTED, NEVER-BEEN-DONE-BEFORE-IN-US-HISTORY RAID of a US President's home.

Trump was not acting fast enough? You mean like how after 19 months Wray & the FBI still refuse to comy with a legal Presidential order to declassify all Crossfire Hurrocane info and release it, refuses to comy with FOIA requests?

Since the FBI is not coming fast enough perhaps the DOJ needs to send a heavily-armed team to raid FBI HQ and Wray's home to recover / seize all Crossfire Hurricane information and files?!

Sounds fair, right?

He handed over some, why not all? Why was he dragging his feet? What was he trying to hide? Couldn’t figure out how to take the 5th on a search warrant?

Probably should have found out the answer to those questions before conducting the historic raid....

Those were Trump’s problems, not the FBI’s.

The last resort for bullies and cowards is to claim to be victims when they have all the power.

Have you ever watched a Trump speech?!?!

 

[easyt65]

Actually that was the FBI's problem, snowflake. They wanted the documents and were required to exhaust every means to get them before doing something as unprecedented as raiding a President's home. Your constant FBI-apologist routine is a reflection of your obsession with and hatred of Trump.

Which is what Trump has been doing since his 2016 campaign. He does not know how to stop.

The National Archives wanted those documents. It took the FBI to be able to get the last boxes, when Trump did give the first 15 boxes without any problems.

You’re apologizing for Trump. What’s your point? We know you don’t actually have a clue about proper FBI procedure.

It takes time to weed out the 30,000 unimportant documents pertaining to his daughters wedding.

You show me your law degree first. Deal?

Cute. No cigar. Always calling people for a draw when one cannot find answer where one wants it.

If you can find the laws which the FBI, Wray, broke in order to have the documents returned to the National Archives, do post them.

I don't apologize for Trump. I don't follow Trump, but nice try.

I just don't make excuses for rogue agencies that violate the Constitution, the Patriot Act, laws, illegally spy on Americans and President's, and willingly participate in coup attempts.

Sounds like a BS reason. NEXT!

You finally got something right!
