Christopher Wray - Tool of The Deep State

If you believe that registered Republican Christopher Wray voted for Donald Trump I have a bridge for sale.  Wray has repeatedly demonstrated that his allegiance is to the Deep State.  Wray may not be the most intelligent individuals but he is a master of obfuscation.  He illustrated this during early testimony before Congress.  Wray was asked by Congerssman Issa if he agreed that the decision not to prosecute Hillery Clinton was appropriate.  Wray responded: “I think of the Inspector General’s investigation as de novo in one sense, in which that it’s objective, arms length, no skin in the game, if you will. But you’re right, the Inspector General is not second guessing prosecutorial decisions and things like that. However, the Inspector General is looking at the very important question of whether or not improper political considerations factored into the decision making. If he were to conclude that’s what happened, then I think at that point were we’re in a situation were we have to assess what else might need to be done to unring that bell.”

Wray obviously does not have a grasp of the situation at the FBI.  When asked by Senator Heinrich, “So you haven't seen any evidence of some sort of inherent political bias in the agency?”  Wray responded “No.”  How deep is grasp of the corruption at the FBI.  Wray reportedly threatened to resign if Andrew McCabe was forced out of the FBI.  McCabe eventually left under a cloud. McCabe was only a small example of corruption at the FBI.  The IG report claims 50 FBI agents in the the D.C. headquarters were leaking to the press.  These leaks can appear quite innocuous.  The IG mentions concert tickets, private dinners, NFL tickets.  A reporter could take an agent out to lunch and the agent could inadvertently reveal a bit of confidential information.  Perfectly innocent.  However, they may have provided other services illustrated by the 57 year old Former Senate Intelligence Committee security director James Wolfe.  He was apparently providing information to New York Times rising star 26 year old Ali Watkins.  She was not providing him with NFL tickets.  This corruption reached a higher level as hundreds of thousands dollars worth of political contributions were given to McCabe’s wife.

We know that the FBI takes leaks seriously.  We have former FBI Director Comey’s word for that.  He testified, “I hope people watching know how seriously we take leaks of classified information, but I don't want to confirm it by saying we're investigating it, and I'm sorry I have to draw that line. I just think that's the right way to be.”  Unfortunately Comey had to relate how he leaked memos of his conversations with the President.  

Wray’s major concern is defending the FBI.  If this means concealing evidence of criminality.  He has been threatened with contempt by the previous Congress for “stonewalling” their requests for documents.  He allowed the  retroactivel classification of Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kathleen Kavalec’s memo on Christopher Steele.  This memo claimed that Steele was a political operative who made false claims.  This originally unclassified memo has been sealed by the FBI until December 31, 2041.  This attempt to conceal embarrassing information might fail.  Senator Graham has requested Kavalec testify before the Senate.  


The FBI can send a SWAT team to the door of even the most harmless individual.  The raid on Oliver Stone’s house was totally unnecessary.  Christopher Wray undoubtedly approved of this travesty.

Comments on "Isikoff Lays an Egg."


Diana, 
I just finished reading your article “Isikoff Lays an Egg.”   It appeared to me that you were being too kind to Isikoff and Corn.  You write that Isikoff was “easily gulled by Democratic Party and Clinton campaign contractors, “ and “the whole thing smelled, but Isikoff and Corn didn’t seem to notice.”  Isikoff and Corn are member of the Deep State.  They are completely aware of what they are doing.  Pleading ignorance is a frequent excuse. 

The level of government corruption is astounding.  Everyone connected with this affair is corrupt.  That includes the FISA courts and the former and current heads of the intel agencies.  I recognized the “dossier” as bogus on the first page.  While it was not a government document it was supposedly created by a member of the intel community.  The author or compiler could classify it any way he wanted.  However, the classification CONFIDENTIAL/SENSITIVE SOURCE does not exist.  If I had submitted a report with such a classification while in the DIA I would expect to be immediately relieved.  Isikoff was aware of this when he wrote, “After all, this was Russia—where sources could be shot or poisoned for talking about such matters.”  The “dossier” suggests that an individual close to Putin was a source. 

The Deep State Media has a close relationship with the Deep State intel community.  Members of the media are routinely fed information by upper level intel bureaucrats.  Inspector General Michael Horowitz reported that about 50 FBI agents took 300 free gifts from news media.  That was in DC alone.  Examples of these “free gifts” are almost innocent: expensive private dinners, NFL tickets, parties on booze cruises and discounts on travel.  James Wolfe, though not a member of the FBI, revealed that there were other “free gifts” offered for classified information.  While Security Director of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence he had an intimate three-year relationship with Ali Watkins, a reporter for the New York Times.  There is also the strong possibility that deputy director’s wife received hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions as a result of a favorable outcome of an investigation.  


This situation will not be covered by the Deep State media.  They do not want to lose their access to classified information.  True Pundit claims, “Wray and Horowitz are protecting the agents who took bribes, as well as their media enablers.”  This allows the FBI to maintain its reputation as an honest law enforcement agency.  Incredibly James Comey had to audacity to claim, “I hope people watching know how seriously we take leaks of classified information, but I don't want to confirm it by saying we're investigating it, and I'm sorry I have to draw that line. I just think that's the right way to be.”
