That's why Ashcroft ultimately recused, leading to Comey being Acting AG and PatFitz being Special Counsel. [We keep repeating history]

So Wray is a political henchman then? Am I hearing you right?
-
This is so absurdly clear you either need a hearing aid or more coffee.
-
To be precise, Wray worked for DOJ & leaked FBI info about an investigation of Exec branch folks to the Exec branch. His new job is DOJ/FBI…
-
He didn't leak. He briefed. Different thing. But still relevant here.
-
If the "brief is illegal" it is called a leak. DOJ is not supposed to inform Executive Branch of DOJ business if EXEC is the target.
-
Wray was AAG, reporting to AG Ashcroft. This was him briefing his boss, not DOJ briefing WH.

Mea culpa telling
@matthewstoller was "clear" Wray was a 'political henchman' based on this. Kosher, if unsettling, given current parallels. - 1 more reply

Bigger:
#Comey hired Fitzgerald (godfather to kids) to go after Scooter Libby on leak when Jim & Pat knew it was Armitage for over a year. -
Golly. 140 characters and 3 errors. Pretty impressive.
-
I spelled everything correctly.
-
Yes. But you made errors of fact (or more likely ignorance).
-
Actually, I watched it all play out & unfortunately, I'm an undocumented historian who blogs a lot about politics. Esp this kind of stuff.
-
Which sadly hasn't prevented you from making errors. Don't litter my TL with shit that is wrong or I'll block you.
-
Well okay, point out my errors instead of whining about them in multiple tweets. This stuff is easily knowable & googlable.
-
No. You can read my work. Surely you're capable of that?

At that time, Wray is reported to have stood with Comey, ready to walk.
-
Six months later. Also, there's a lot of mythification around that hospital hero rot.
-
Yeah, puff gotta puff.
