I guess Charles Manson’s defense attorney wasn’t available.

Kushner thought sacking Comey would be a huge PR victory. If someone held a gun to my head and forced me to pick who would come out on top between him and Christie, I’d have to choose the latter. It will take a little while longer, though.
@maxaroo Trump should’ve gone with one of the lawyers who’s defended war criminals at the Hague.

The Director of the FBI should be someone with a distinguished career in law enforcement, not a shyster criminal lawyer and known political hack.

In addition to being white and male, everybody trump nominates must have a Russian connection:

Yeah, good luck with those confirmation hearings, Wray…
@coprophagoussmile - so you’re predicting that Bannon wins over Kush. Could be, he and the Mercers have the dirt on Kush. Look for the Casa de Kush to return to NYC very soon.

Worked under Comey at DoJ. This could get interesting.

Who cares? Since when is the FBI so important? Agents should do their jobs, keep out of politics and try to win the trust of the public. They lost mine in the sixties and from what I’ve seen and heard they haven’t gotten it back.

The FBI is our secret domestic intelligence service, among other things. Who runs it matters, as you found out in the sixties.

So, let\s review the bidding: not a high-level figure. “Successfully” representing a corrupt republican governor during a political-revenge scandal and may be tampering with evidence in that scandal. Gave inappropriate briefings to his boss during his previous DoJ tenure. Works for a law firm that will require a conflict-of-interest waiver.
Yep, just the guy I would pick for a 10-year term of nearly unlimited investigatory power.

That’s either an astonishing coincidence or a huge red flag. Red. I could care less he represented Christie. But if he’s part of this obvious conspiracy the cops need to step in.

I know. That’s why they were feeding Giuliani all that info. Don’t trust them.
It’s a given: Anyone nominated by Drumpf is dubiously qualified, ethically compromised and highly ideological. Even if Wray’s skeletons aren’t immediately obvious, keep looking; his closet is deep and dark.

I care about his representation of Christie (especially with the revelation that he was holding onto Christie’s burner phone for him) because it speaks to his deep GOP connections and his willingness to be a strong advocate bending the rules for a client (as he apparently did earlier at DoJ). That’s not the kind of character you want running the FBI.

Announced on Twitter. Wray’s feeling the love already.
Should be year zero.
