Thomas Lifson: Why Trump's FBI head Christopher Wray urged withholding the Nunes memo "When the FBI objected to release of the Nunes memo, at the reported urging of President Trump’s hand-picked successor to James Comey as FBI Director, Christopher Wray, the temptation to dismiss him as another deep state operative was understandable. All the more so when CNN and The Daily Beast’s fabulist Spencer Ackerman pushed the story that he was ready to resign yesterday. Naturally, the rest of the Trump-hating media picked up the story and ran with feverish hopes for a second Saturday Night Massacre, with its scent of President Trump’s departure in disgrace 45years ago..
"Maybe so. But maybe the story is a little more complex, and maybe President Trump has his reasons for continuing to express confidence in the man he chose to reform a powerful agency that appears to have been hijacked at the top executive level.
"For starters, the resignation threat appears to be fake news (again!). Streiff of RedState:" . . .

Chris Wray is quietly cleaning up the FBI "Failing to get traction on their Russia “collusion” front, Sen. Mark Warner and other top Democratic inquisitors now suggest President Trump is obstructing justice by forcing a shake-up at FBI headquarters. But FBI sources tell me the pressure to clean house is also coming from inside the bureau, and it’s based on real concerns over malfeasance by top brass there." . . .
Wray is also sweeping aside Comey’s old chief of staff, James Rybicki, who appears in -mails watering down the case against Clinton. Another Comey crony, James Baker, reportedly is leaving his post as FBI general counsel. Baker recently got into hot water after internal documents revealed he contacted a reporter who wrote about the Clinton-funded dossier tying Trump to Moscow during the election.
