Summary
FBI Director Christopher Wray announced he will resign three years early, a move widely seen as bowing to political pressure from Trump.
Critics argue Wray’s resignation undermines the FBI’s independence and normalizes Trump’s governance style, allowing him to replace Wray with a loyalist who may prioritize Trump’s interests over the rule of law.
Wray’s decision avoids the potential political fallout of being fired but forfeits a chance to publicly challenge Trump’s grievances against the FBI, raising concerns about the erosion of institutional integrity.
He’s top cop, that means he’s gotta be home to beat his wife in time.
