In reply to the discussion: Sheldon Whitehouse publicly rips Chris Wray a new one re sham Kavanaugh investigation [View all]Midnight Writer
(21,546 posts)21. There is a lesson to be learned here.
Wray allowed his office to be subverted for political reasons.
Now he is taking fire from both sides.
If he had played it straight, followed regulations and guidance, showing "no fear or favor", he would have his honor intact today.
Instead, he is considered a disgrace, a limp noodle that can be used by politicians, a failure by anyone's standards.
He has damaged himself, his office, and his institution.
For what? To curry favor with a faithless Administration who everyone knew would throw him under the next passing bus?

Biden's team needs to ask people to resend their stories and see what pops up.
