Christopher Wray Is Trump's Nominee to Be the New FBI Director

This article is just a short recap... and, I have already heard enough.  Wray is a specialist in getting businesses off the hook for corporate crime.  Exactly what corporations want right now.  My favorite is his connection with the disastrously failed Enron Task Force .

Here in California we should all love this one, as it made certain that Wall Street kept all all but $200 million of the $45 billion bilked from us in less than a year, nearly bankrupting the state and requiring a $9 billion bailout of PG&E most of which got invested by the parent company in off shore power plant purchases for which we are still paying today.  Much has been written and even a movie.  Welcome to 2001 redux. I digress lest history is lost to our short American attention spans.




    Attorney General Jeff Sessions praised the choice, saying, "Chris Wray is an extraordinary person, possessing all the gifts necessary to be a great director of the FBI."
    Stating that Wray has "a brilliant legal mind," Sessions added, "We are fortunate that he is willing to make this personal commitment to serve his country at this important time."
Brilliant legal mind indeed!  Brilliantly serving to get criminal corporations off the hook.  It's perfect for the FBI.  They have better things to do than busting corporations.  He can certainly help them do this even less well.  I guess it's up to us.

So let's look at the real under the hood FBI that Trump and Wray will wield. From the Intercept, this is a large collection of information on how the FBI works.  It will scare you to know that they already operate above the law and now a hatchet man that does the bidding of criminal corporations can now use this secret apparatus against the people.  The FBI let's not forget is a secret police.  Glen Greenwalds report on this is here showing that we can expect the FBI's facist factions to rise to the top...protesters beware.
