Usually, according to feds, the person at the podium would say "the president was informed immediately" --- but Wray did not answer that question.
Something to think about. Did they not trust him to keep quiet about the ID of the suspect? Or what?

Wray did not want to admit they informed him yesterday that they had ID'd suspect because that makes Trump look even worse in the way he politicized the bombings in his tweets as if the bombings were a political ploy to hurt Repubs.

Panelists surmised that he was updated in real-time from the beginning. Wray didn't want to say that as #45 kept twitting stupid s**t while he knew it was one of his maggats.
