Abundant tweets about civil liberties & national security. "Has a longer memory than an elephant & keeps more records than Jim Comey.” Legendary potty mouth.

      Wray was far better than most (not all) of Trump's FBI candidates. But I suspect we didn't get a guy who had a good idea of how to turn the tables on a bully.

      Wray is one of the ~4 people outside of Mueller's team who has best visibility on what Mueller is doing, today, tomorrow, next week. Maybe he thinks if he can buy a week all the momentum will shift. But how many concessions has he already made on FBI independence?

      Has he made a substantive concession yet? The work goes on just the same with McCabe and Baker’s replacements.

      Would we for sure know? Agree work goes on w/McCabe and Baker replacements--and am actually intrigued by pick of Harmon at CoS for his Hanssen background. But what if Trump fires Rosenstein overnight?

      Nixon thought he had a toadie when he named Jaworski. Jaworski was appalled when he saw the evidence. Unless Trump can name Ivanka to run the investigation he cannot know for sure.

      And Gowdy, even while voting to release this memo, is emphasizing his colleagues need to leave Mueller in place. If Gowdy ends up being a hero in this whole thing I'm ... I'm not sure what.

          Are any Rs publicly sticking up for Rosenstein? Haven’t seen any, which concerns me.

          My fear is that people misunderstand how badly the FVRA was written. People assume Brand is next up and we've all heard she'll hold the line. But Trump legally can bypass Brand, so we should panic NOW.

          In 2001, DOJ sent out this hilarious memo: "Panic is not the appropriate response to a threat of a biological/chemical attack." I thought, WTF is the appropriate response? Sorry to digress. You're right. Panic is appropriate here, but, for now, I'm just going to hold my breath.

          Right. "I'm not sure what" kinda sums it up for me, too. But, given that Gowdy's vote to release the memo can't be squared w/"leave Mueller in place," I don't trust him. I think he's just sending a message to DJT w/the latter, while doing his best to undermine the investigation.
