This seems like a clear case of Wray genuflecking to the Chosen One, in hopes of keeping his job.

See! See!, I can be a lickspittle, too.

Flawed people though they were, Richardson and Ruckleshaus makes this current crop of GOP justice and intelligence officials fade into insignificance.
Not a single fucking one of them can stand up, say this is wrong and submit their God damn resignation.
It’s an embarrassment to even the pretext of service to the nation.

That review was always on the horizon.

The problem with it is, once it’s done and mirrors the DOJ IG report. It’s going to be ‘interesting’ to see what Flynn allies throw up next.

Well it depends. If your a liberal/commie/socialist in the reality based community who relies on actual evidence that shows Don the Con and his henchmen/women are in bed with the Russians then yes it is a waste of time.

OTOH if you are a proud Conservative believer in Alternative Facts as laid out by FOX/OANN/NEWSMAX TV and are desperate to have something, ANYTHING to distract from the Orange POS’s shrinking poll numbers then this investigation is great. Although you may not like the final outcome.

BERLIN (AP) - The government is conducting an investigation into the conflagration that consumed the Reichstag building. The Chancellor says they are paying particular attention to Communists, and their cadre of international spies and vermin.
This fine building was completed in 1894 in the neo-Renaissance style and was admired by many.

It’s really too bad for Joe Biden that he ordered the FBI to commit so many crimes.

Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about conversations with the Russian ambassador during the presidential transition period, but the Justice Department says its own review of the case determined that there was an insufficient basis for agents to have interviewed Flynn in the first place and that any statements he made to agents were therefore not relevant to the underlying investigation into ties between Russia and Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.

That is one weak ass argument. And I am not even an attorney.

Guess the FBI is too busy to investigate real crimes going on…
