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...

@KimPerales hilariously over in the manosphere / joe rogan world #J6 is all the FBI's fault because there were FBI agents in the crowd.

never seems to occur to them that if there's a gathering of a bunch of yahoos with guns within striking distance of the capital that the FBI absolutely SHOULD have people in the crowd.
