Trump Threatens To Fire FBI Director Wray After Election
by Barbie Latza Barbeau, Correspondent-at-large, Daily Beast
Trump and his advisers are reportedly so angry that FBI Director Christopher Wray and Attorney General William Barr have not done more directly to help his re-election effort that they are considering firing them after Election Day, The Washington Post reports.
Trump wanted them to concoct the same sort of scandal that then-FBI Director James Comey delivered 11 days before the 2016 election by reopening the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s emails. The Daily Beast reported this month that the president was already looking to replace Wray after the election. The Post now reports the president is specifically disappointed that the FBI has not officially launched an investigation into Joe Biden and his son Hunter or their associates.
Trump has ramped up calls for locking up Biden, in line with his 2016 campaign against Clinton, and has called Biden a “criminal” during recent rallies. Trump launched a veiled threat against Barr on Fox News Tuesday, saying, “We’ve got to get the attorney general to act” and to act “fast” to investigate Biden. “This is major corruption,” Trump said, “and this has to be known about before the election.”

This is the same ploy that was used to help him in 2016. Hopefully, Wray and Barr will not take the bait this time. Barr will likely become an outcast among Washington lawyers for his behavior under Trump should Trump lose.
Not only Barr. There will be a lot of WH Trumpers, and cabinet members who will become outcasts.
