President Trump has accused FBI Director Christopher Wray of “invading” his home and hinted at the possibility of firing him during an interview with NBC’s Kristen Welker on “Meet the Press”. The president, who gave his first major interview since becoming the president-elect, expressed his dissatisfaction with Wray’s performance and hinted at replacing him with Kash Patel, who he recently nominated to serve as the new director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
When Welker asked whether he plans on firing Wray, Trump responded by saying, “I can’t say I’m thrilled with him. He invaded my home – I’m suing the country over it.” He was referring to the FBI raid on his Florida estate in 2022 over alleged mishandling of classified documents, a case which was later dismissed.
Trump went on to express his displeasure with Wray’s actions, specifically mentioning the increase in crime and the influx of migrants from prisons and mental institutions. The president also recalled Wray’s initial downplaying of the attempted assassination on him in Butler, Pennsylvania in July, saying, “You take a look at what’s happened…where’s the shrapnel coming from? Is it coming from heaven? I don’t think so.”
NBC: Will you fire Christopher Wray?

When Welker pressed him on whether Wray must be fired to make way for Patel, Trump did not give a direct answer, stating, “It would sort of seem pretty obvious that if Kash gets in, he’s going to be taking somebody’s place. The somebody is the man you’re talking about.”
Trump also took a jab at President Joe Biden, referencing his son Hunter’s recent pardon and saying, “I don’t want to be like Joe Biden and give you an answer and then do the exact opposite.”
The president’s clear dissatisfaction with Wray and his possible plans to replace him with Patel have raised concerns from the liberal media. However, it is clear that Trump has every right as the president-elect to decide on who he believes is best suited to lead the FBI. Trump has promised to put America first and it seems like he is taking the necessary steps to do so within the FBI as well.
The liberal media may try to spin this interview as a sign of chaos within the Trump administration, but the truth is that the president is taking decisive action to ensure the safety and security of the American people. With Patel at the helm, we can expect a tougher stance on crime and immigration, two key issues that Trump has consistently addressed throughout his presidency.
Wrey had his chance to clean up the FBI, but chose instead to become part of the elite establishment in DC and started doing their bidding. It was his choice, and he chose wrong. Goodbye Wrey, we won’t miss you at all.
Wray is a swamp creature. There is no room for him to continue his ways .
Wray needs to go away!
Robert Müeller, Jim Comey, Peter Strzok, Lisa Page, Robert Cessario, Charles McGonigal, Jim Baker, Christopher Wray, Merrick Garland, Rob Rosenstein, Michael Horowitz, Tim Thibault and Andrew McCabe have ushered in the new level of competency, integrity, honesty, transparency and trust to the FBI. BTW, have they lost Hunter Biden’s laptop yet? As if it matters now, that his daddy pardoned him for a decade plus of crime.
Resign or Be fired Wray OK
Director Wray needs to go. He is a part of the D.C. ‘Deep State/Swamp’ that was put in place during the obama administration to politize the Bureau under the George Soros agenda to destroy America from within. obama appointed James Comey as Director to purge non-partisan, pro-America supervisors and agents so as to transform the FBI into a secret-police arm of the Commie Democrat Party to be used as a political weapon against their ‘enemies’. This has become evident with the numerous ‘investigations’ and prosecutions of pro-American ‘dissidents’ and political rivals. The FBI’s mission has been subverted from protecting America into persecuting political opponents. There are plenty of former FBI supervisors and agents who were forced out for political reasons willing to go back to work to Make America Great Again. Trump should be willing to hire them back to get the FBI back on track of protecting America.
It is pretty obvious to me that if the deep state gets cleaned up, the propagandists won’t have the deep state feeding them propaganda to report on…. So, do any of the propagandist even know what real journalism is??? I think not!
Wray would be lucky if he was JUST fired.
I say fire him with prejudice. Or just reliably leak that he has evidence against the Clintons.
The liberal media is to big for it’s britches. In other words, treasonous.
Chris has to go. He has violated our trust on so many levels, that the media is incompetent, and has a Bidenesque memory on the poor judgement exercised by the FBI over the past four years. This guy was hired on a the recommendation of Chris Christie former NJ Governor. He may be a good attorney, but he’s a bust as head of the FBI. Too bad he agreed with Merrick Garland on too many issues. It would have been better if he had displayed some push back on the Biden agenda and Lawfare. He was agreement on the DOJ agenda.
He’s got to go.
Fire the traitor and prosecute him
Traitor to this Country. He has to GO!!!!
Trump has the right to FIRE him. So the Liberals can shut their pie holes.
Yes yes yes and many others Fired Fired so taxpayers don’t have to pay them anything No Retirement No Benefits of any kind so Fire as many as possible to bad for the demoncrate they all need gone every last one , make sure you get Those millionaire billionaires trillionaire, that hide but foot the bill to destroy America break them prison sentences 25 and up in real prisons not these fancy ones, and stop all the perks people in prison get they are in some cases that live better than people out here trying to make it it has to stop,
