Wray Calls FBI Criticism 'Violence' But We Weren't Born Yesterday
Why is the FBI director more concerned about criticism than Americans' complete distrust of his corrupt agency.

FBI Director Christopher Wray’s Thursday statement represents a disgraceful attempt to silence critics by conflating condemnation of the bureau’s conduct with violence and threats against law enforcement. This outrageous tactic will not work, and that Wray resorted to it confirms he no longer deserves to be FBI director.
“Unfounded attacks on the integrity of the FBI erode respect for the rule of law and are a grave disservice to the men and women who sacrifice so much to protect others,” Wray began his short, four-sentence statement, before immediately pivoting to the truism that “violence and threats against law enforcement, including the FBI, are dangerous and should be deeply concerning to all Americans.”
~Snip~
There is nothing “unfounded” about any of these criticisms, and it is precisely because of their legitimacy — and that they all flowed from a “get-Trump” mentality — that the country now condemns the FBI’s raid on Trump’s home.
Further, even if this time the FBI (and its sources) didn’t lie and the court didn’t rubber stamp the search warrant, the raid still deserves condemnation because of the obvious double-standard.
~Snip~
If “every day [Wray] see the men and women of the FBI doing their jobs professionally and with rigor, objectivity, and a fierce commitment to our mission of protecting the American people and upholding the Constitution,” as he claims, then why did these whistleblowers only now come forward? Were they not as rigorous and committed as Wray thought? Or were they too afraid of what would happen to them and their careers if they blew the whistle, suggesting they aren’t quite as “fierce” as Wray assumed? Or maybe there’s a more widespread lack of commitment to the Constitution?
Wray should ponder these questions and also ask himself why he seems more offended at the public’s criticism than he is at the agents and leaders who caused the country to consider the FBI the bad guys. And with yesterday’s outrageous attempt to spin Americans’ criticism as calls to violence, Wray should be given lots of free time on which to reflect.
Commentary:
Margot Cleveland's treatise on corruption within the FBI is spot on. Before posting this in "Politics" I searched to see if there was a section in USMB entitled ""Corruption" then again "Politics" and "Corruption" all go together hand in hand as we have seen in the Deep State and especially the Maoist DNC dominated by the 'Greenies'.
What Ms. Cleveland describes above has been proven true. Wray and his crony Directors of the FBI should be in shackles.
But of course, criticizing Wray's methods and enforcement of tyrannic laws upon Americans should they speak, they instantly become domestic terrorists by the FBI and Garland's DOJ.
