Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA11) nails it:
“Maybe Director Wray is right that by removing himself he removes a target, but he is going to be replaced by a partisan hack who has no real experience with the FBI or for that matter law enforcement writ large. And I think for the rank-and-file FBI, I think his decision to resign prematurely, under pressure, is tantamount to abandonment of the FBI and abandonment of them and their protections, exposing them to a political purge … I think Trump has made it very clear that he sees the FBI as the enemy, which is an absurd proposition, but nonetheless he has propounded it and Kash Patel has echoed it, even though the FBI is hardly a deep-state agency, it’s one of the most conservative bastions in US government…”
Good stuff by Rep. Gerry Connolly. Now, can we get EVERY Democratic member of Congress to talk like this, and stop being pathetically weak about defending our democracy???
