It wasn't Wray who was dragging the FBI into the pol fray. Trump deemed Wray a deep state enemy for, among other things, permitting the FBI’s search of MAL *became part of the classified-docs case against him.

He decided (decades of precedent of keeping: FBI independent of pol influence) be damned—he’d fire Wray- replace him with Patel. Wray couldn’t stop him from defenestrating him for Patel *could've forced Trump to fire him.

Wray protected him, esp. after J6.

Now we have the evidence, Wray failed; his response to J6 protected & enabled Trump.

Missteps may have hampered preparations for the attack on the US Capitol that day. DHS didn't declare Jan 6 a natsec event, which meant -the FBI played only a supporting role in preparing for the day.

Report found: FBI failed to properly canvass its 55 field offices for information that their confidential human sources may have provided...

"Wray served at the pleasure of TFG for >3 yrs. He was negligent in not addressing TFG’s white nat. dom. terrorists +protected him from FBI investigations (or helped stop them). TFG was mostly pleased with his performance until after the ‘20 election. Biden should’ve replaced him."
Re my Nov 2021 post-a prominent contributor:
"I'm going to trust Biden on this one & not ppl on Twitter."

#Wray was complicit in Trump's crimes -quietly dismissed anything that implicated Trump -in office for >7 yrs.

I read this as a career decision. Wray is sure that Trump II is going to be a disaster, and wants nothing to do with it.
