Does Joe Biden keep Chris Wray on ?

Wray is only one of three Trump appointees I respect. The other two were Generals McMaster and Mattis.

He can fire him like Chump fired Comey but it's a breach of protocol.

Chris Wray will continue on as FBI Director. I imagine Biden has talked to him and gotten an earful.

and that would be based on any resistance garland gets to reform and prosecution priorities. Lets not forget that the trump doj gutted a lot of discrimination protections including the civil rights division.

And of course there are special prosecutors to eliminate and others to appoint.

He had many opportunities to toady to Trump, and declined each one. Hat tip to Chris Wray.

Republican he may be but he strikes me as a straight shooter and honorable man
