Really, President Trump? Robert Wray is the man who will "proudly bring back the FBI"?

Roger L. Simon writes at PJ Media,

...Wray began his tenure as FBI director some eleven months ago. Since then the record of the organization has been — it's safe to say — atrocious. They have stonewalled, and continue to stonewall, virtually every oversight request from Senate and House committees in outright defiance of the separation of powers. And when they have relented and revealed documents and texts, they have almost always been redacted beyond recognition, raising more questions than they answered.

...Wray would explain, I suppose, that he reports to Rod Rosenstein but is that enough of an excuse for acquiescence to what has been going on for the last year?

The article he wrote in response to the IG's report is mostly mealy-mouthed pabulum. He seems to buy the IG's dubious conclusion that although Michael Horowitz and Co. found myriad examples of anti-Trump bias, that bias did not affect decision making in the investigation. That thinking is so meretricious your eyes roll at the basic prevarication of its premise. Who would leave evidence that their bias affected what they did? Not even Peter Stzrok is that dumb. (Well, almost.)

Horowitz's report was basically Comey lite because like the former FBI director, whom Horowitz rightly excoriates in the report, the inspector general details malfeasance after malfeasance and then lets the culprit off at the end — just as Comey did with Clinton.

I suspect Comey did this in part because he had a guilty conscience. He knew that Hillary was guilty — it was obvious — but he also knew he had to let her off. Obama had made that clear. So he spilled the beans, but then did what good Germans do and went along.

Horowitz has done something similar, although with more depth and intelligence. These actions, pseudo-reforms in essence, are sophisticated ways of maintaining the status quo. (Horowitz may redeem himself with his second report on FISA, etc.)

I hope I'm wrong, but keeping Christopher Wray as FBI director will do exactly the same thing — preserve this same status quo. If you to truly want to reform the FBI, chose someone as far as possible from the system, even from the Department of Justice — someone with completely clean hands who doesn't know any of them. Maybe a country lawyer.
