President Trump slammed his FBI Director Christopher Wray’s response to the FISA report and the damning accusations of the systemic issues facing the FBI.
Trump called Wray the ‘current’ FBI Director which cannot be a good sign.
According to Fox News:
President Trump blasted FBI Director Christopher Wray on Tuesday morning over his response to the Justice Department inspector general’s report on the origins of the FBI’s Russia investigation and use of Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants to monitor former Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.
The IG report found that while there were a significant number of concerns regarding the FBI’s practices in obtaining the FISA warrant and other aspects of the probe, there was no evidence of political bias or impropriety regarding their motives in the investigation. Wray has accepted these findings, but Trump signaled Tuesday he doesn’t think Wray is taking the concerns seriously enough.
I don’t know what report current Director of the FBI Christopher Wray was reading, but it sure wasn’t the one given to me. With that kind of attitude, he will never be able to fix the FBI, which is badly broken despite having some of the greatest men & women working there!

When asked if he had any evidence that the FBI unfairly targeted Trump’s campaign, Wray said, “I don’t,” and appeared to take offense to the notion that the FBI is part of a “deep state.”
…
Attorney General Bill Barr, meanwhile, issued a lengthy statement in which he heavily criticized the FBI’s conduct during the investigation, but made a point to note that “most of the misconduct identified by the Inspector General was committed in 2016 and 2017 by a small group of now-former FBI officials.”
Barr has praised Wray and his cooperation with the investigations, but the FBI has a long history of questionable tactics and wrongly focused investigations that destroyed people’s lives.
