    Trump Mulls Ousting FBI Director For Not Delivering Damaging Investigation Into Biden

    "President Donald Trump, angry that he hasn’t received the damaging pre-election bombshell on Democratic rival Joe Biden that he’s been pushing for, has reportedly been discussing with aides the possibility of firing FBI Director Christopher Wray for not handing Trump said bombshell in the form of an investigation into Biden.

    The Washington Post reported on Wednesday night that Trump wants a public announcement of a federal probe into Biden and his son, Hunter, that could damage the Democrat similar to how then-FBI Director James Comey had announced a renewed investigation into 2016 Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton’s emails less than two weeks before Election Day four years ago."

    I know, I know. We are all exhausted from the daily deluge of scurrilous behavior from Don the Disaster. It's nothing less than shocking and therefore disorienting to see blatantly self-serving stories like this.

    We just have to keep reminding ourselves how abnormal this stuff is. It will never, ever, happen again.

    As opposed to stories about Hilary's illegal server containing over two thousand classified emails which she lied about repeatedly?

    And Ratcliffe is playing the "Comey" role. Except he does it knowingly.

    Ratcliffe is in full campaign mode. I have a feeling he'll be using his power to make Trump look like the "victim" in a plot where he is more likely the instigator.

    Not sure this story has much credibily given the latest revelation that there is in fact an investigation into the Bidens...that stated as a money laundering probe

    https://www.foxnews.com/politics/laptop-hunter-biden-linked-fbi-money-laundering-probe

    The FBI’s subpoena of a laptop and hard drive purportedly belonging to Hunter Biden came in connection with a money laundering investigation in late 2019, according to documents obtained by Fox News and verified by multiple federal law enforcement officials who reviewed them.


    Multiple federal law enforcement officials, as well as two separate government officials, confirmed the authenticity of these documents, which were signed by FBI Special Agent Joshua Wilson. Wilson did not immediately respond to Fox News’ request for comment.

    One of the documents, obtained by Fox News, was designated as an FBI “Receipt for Property” form, which details the bureau’s interactions with John Paul Mac Isaac, the owner of “The Mac Shop” who reported the laptop’s contents to authorities.

    The document has a “Case ID” section, which is filled in with a hand-written number: 272D-BA-3065729.

    We always knew this is what having loyalist hacks in positions of power would lead to. The apparatus of government, to the extent Trump can get it to, is now working to re-elect the sitting prez..............going against centuries of precedent.

    I gotta think Wray does not want to end his career being the Comey of 2020
