Wray Doesn’t Seem to Care that the FBI Deceived the Court

Maybe the president should find somebody who is serious about protecting constitutional principles to restore public trust in the FBI.

“I’m saddened and shocked that FBI personnel would mislead a court to obtain a warrant to conduct the most intrusive surveillance of an American citizen. We depend on public and judicial confidence to bring criminals to justice. We must never be seen to tolerate any dishonesty within the FBI-particularly to a court. I will see to it that any responsible FBI personnel are promptly brought to account.”

That’s what FBI Director Christopher Wray should have said after the release Monday of Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s report on the bureau’s appalling conduct in its spying operation against Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.

But Wray didn’t say that. Instead, he told an ABC News interviewer it was “important that the inspector general found that, in this particular instance, the investigation was opened with appropriate predication and authorization.”

In the context of multiple recent Justice Department inspector general reports damning the FBI, Wray’s blasé remarks are chilling.
