Wray’s Sneaky Departure Plan
Outgoing FBI Director Christopher Wray seems determined to leave a lasting mess behind as he heads out the door. Instead of stepping aside and allowing the incoming Trump administration to take the reins, Wray is reportedly working on a plan to entrench his loyalists in key positions, making it tougher for the new leadership to enact necessary reforms.
The Timing of Wray’s Resignation
Wray announced his resignation on Wednesday, capping off a controversial seven-year run. His decision to step down ahead of what many believe will be his firing by President-elect Trump isn’t shocking. However, the real story lies in the underhanded tactics he’s employing to hinder any future efforts for change.
Burrowing: A Scheme to Protect Allies
According to The Washington Times, Wray has begun promoting senior employees within the FBI’s upper ranks. These promotions seem aimed at ensuring his allies remain embedded in the agency, creating obstacles for the incoming leadership. This tactic, known as “burrowing,” helps outgoing administrations secure their loyalists by converting political roles into career positions that are harder to overturn.
Delaying Trump’s Choice for FBI Director
But Wray isn’t stopping there. Reports indicate he has plans to stall Kash Patel’s appointment as the new FBI Director for up to three or four months. This delay would leave Deputy Director Paul Abbate in charge temporarily, which could stall essential reforms and give Wray’s supporters additional time to cement their power.
A Direct Attack on Trump’s Administration
This move is a blatant effort to trip up the Trump administration before it even begins its work. By the time Patel can finally step into his role, the agency may resemble an even murkier swamp, teeming with bureaucrats poised to resist any necessary changes.
High Stakes and Deep State Resilience
The stakes couldn’t be higher, yet Wray appears confident in the resolve of the Deep State. His actions reflect a broader reluctance among outgoing establishment figures to let go of their grip on power. If he succeeds in this scheme, Patel might find himself surrounded by disloyal agents eager to leak information and undermine directives—all while protecting their own interests.
Trump’s Mission: Draining the Swamp
President Trump has been crystal clear about his focus during a potential second term: draining the swamp. Nowhere is this more critical than within the FBI. If Wray’s underhanded tactics go unchecked, they could pose a serious threat to efforts aimed at cleaning up this beleaguered agency.
The Role of Congress
The burden may fall on Congress to intervene in this situation. However, with RINOs sprinkled throughout the GOP, can we truly count on them to confront the Deep State? Supporters of Trump understand what’s on the line: a justice system that serves the American people instead of acting against their interests. Stopping Wray’s final gambit is essential; otherwise, corruption will continue to fester.
