Wray Defends McCabe Firing

Daily Caller: FBI Director Christopher Wray gave an exclusive interview to NBC News on Wednesday defending the process used to fire former deputy director Andrew McCabe.

The FBI’s Office of Personal Responsibility recommended the bureau fire McCabe last week and, several days later, Attorney General Jeff Sessions made the official decision to can him. Some questioned the timing of the decision, as McCabe was ousted just a couple of days before he was set to officially retire from the FBI.

However, McCabe said the investigation into McCabe was done independently without political influence.

“I’m committed to doing things objectively and independently and by the book,” Wray asserted. “I think that has to extend not just to our investigations, our intelligence analysis, but it also has to expand to personnel decisions and disciplinary decisions.”

When asked specifically about the timing, Wray reiterated that the FBI followed its normal process.  watch here

  1. I’m still wary of Wray, but I’m coming around to the idea that he’s taken a tough job that nobody wants right now, and he has to make decisions which nobody else wants to make. May he have good judgment and good luck.
