Florida governor Rick Scott has called for FBI director Christopher Wray to be fired.
So has NRO's Kevin Williamson in a powerful piece: "Fire the FBI Chief." Other officials are calling for FBI heads to roll, but at a level below Wray's.
Congressional oversight committees are skeptical about how complete that will be given the recent evidence of the FBI's politicized role in the probes of Russia and the Trump campaign, along with the infamous anti-Trump "Steele dossier," which the FBI relied on without verifying,.
FBI agents investigated as a suspect the man who gunned down 49 people at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando in 2016, but concluded the agency couldn't act against him.
During his presidential campaign, Senator Rand Paul noted that the FBI had caught the "20th hijacker" a month before his comrades launched their deadly carnage on 9/11. "The FBI agent who caught him wrote 70 letters to FBI headquarters saying we should look at this guy's computer - get a warrant - and they never did." Senator Paul told CNN's Jake Tapper in 2015.
Even though he has been on the job only six months, FBI director Christopher Wray has already shown a reflexive desire to evade congressional oversight by ignoring House subpoenas to the FBI in the Steele-dossier matter.
It's time for the 9/11 Syndrome to be purged from the FBI..
