Quote:The good news first: As RedState has been reporting, Christopher Wray is on his way out as director of the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI). President-elect Donald Trump called it a "great day for America as it will end the Weaponization of what has become known as the United States Department of Injustice" and promised his new administration "will now restore the rule of law for all Americans."

Trump also signaled his support for Kash Patel, his nominee to succeed Wray as FBI director.

"We want our FBI back, and that will now happen," Trump wrote, as he ended his post, adding: "I look forward to Kash Patel’s confirmation, so that the process of Making the FBI Great Again can begin. Thank you!"

Now for the bad news: Reports are emerging that although Wray may be leaving his post of his own accord, he does not plan to go quietly. In true deep state fashion, Wray is busy promoting loyalists at the FBI in order to "burrow" them into the agency's establishment. The goal? To disrupt Kash Patel's plans to seriously reorganize the federal government's chief law enforcement agency.

Sources within the bureau said Mr. Wray has begun promoting employees among the senior executive service, those who serve within the bureau’s leadership. These sources described this as an effort to burrow establishment figures deeper within the FBI.

Sources said a plan is being formulated to delay the new FBI director’s entry into the agency for three to four months.

Once Wray officially departs his post, his deputy director, Paul Abbate, will apparently be promoted to acting director and, in turn, name a new acting deputy director. It's unlikely that this power structure, clearly intended to disrupt the new Trump administration's plan to gut the FBI, will hold once Patel is confirmed, but there's no mistaking that Wray intends to keep his tentacles in the agency for as long as possible.

As RedState's Joe Cunningham reported earlier this week of Wray's pending resignation, the move "highlights the tense relationship between the FBI and Trump-era Republicans, who have long expressed dissatisfaction with the bureau’s leadership."

More from Joe:

This friction has been fueled by high-profile incidents like the raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home and whistleblower allegations of political bias within the FBI. For critics, Wray’s leadership symbolizes an agency in turmoil, accused of failing to address internal misconduct while projecting partisanship in its investigative priorities.

Joe noted in his piece that Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA), the incoming chairman of the powerful Senate Judiciary Committee, wrote a scathing letter demanding Wray resign before his 10-year "tenure" was up, stating it was "time for you and your deputy to move on to the next chapter in your lives."

This no-confidence vote in Wray and Abbate signals that Republicans have had it with the destructive, anti-Trump and establishment mindset that has infested the FBI, and they're ready for all-out war. Wray, for his part, seemed to be giving a pep talk to the "troops" he'll leave behind, telling them:

“Our adherence to our core values, our dedication to independence and objectivity, and our defense of the rule of law — those fundamental aspects of who we are must never change. That’s the real strength of the FBI — the importance of our mission, the quality of our people, and their dedication to service over self."

Meanwhile, Kash Patel is making visits to Senate offices on Capitol Hill this week in order to shore up support for his nomination. News of Wray's intention to slow Patel's leadership takeover of the FBI didn't seem to faze Patel, who remarked, “I look forward to a smooth transition. I will be ready to serve the American people on day one."

Bingo! Then you give them all early retirement so they can't claim they were politically harmed and install your own replacements. Then write a letter of thanks to Wray for identifying the rogue agents within the agency.

Brilliant idea. There won't be any mistaking who the new culprits will be. Rath, you're a genius.

I hope the FIB who undoubtedly is scanning this website doesn't come gunning for you with a made up charge...and the good guys take your advice.

I'd make everyone on the list interview to keep their job providing access to all of their social
media and cell phone records, to boot.

The ones that don't agree were the swamp rats.

Asshats can't help but asshat.

Asshattery run amok even as they get shown the door.

I wish Director Wray a smooth transition to his dead-end seat at the VFNN roundtable where he can wax tirelessly and endlessly with all the other losers moaning about Trump hats and how many scoops of ice cream his new President may have had.

Could Wray possibly be any worse? Apparently not.

Yes! If he wasn't a narcissistic prick, he would be quietly doing evil instead of trumpeting it for deep state ego biscuits. What he has shown me is that we have not only an egoist in charge of the FBI weaponizing it politically like a lacky of a third world dictator, but an imbecile as well. So yes. It could be worse. He could have been an intelligent dedicated operative for this foreign agenda and quiet as a church mouse because his motive was regime change and not the limelight. If I were a leftist, I would want him gone too.

Tv preacher hair Wray is preparing his hair dryer and haispray. That goofy bastard is doing anything but coasting out

I blame Chris Christie for Wray. Wray was his lawyer. Christie recommended Wray to Trump.

some of who he trusted coming into '16 were beyond suspect ... Christie was easily on the list of those flogged during his short span o' spam and relevance...

I can only hope by how they took '20, is a black-eye and why we need (as a NATION) to look for reform at many levels...

status quo is a crippler...

Im fine with the FBI being the first victim of DOGE cuts. The Administration can start from scratch on a new Federal Law Enforcement Agency that will concentrate on keeping people safe from crime instead of being a Secret Police force loyal only to the whims of the DNC.

What's weird is Wray was a registered Republican with typical lawyer jobs and several Republican positions, right up until Trump appointed him, and then he turned into this DNC swamp monster.
