Wray is a registered Republican that worked under Bush and was appointed by Trump. What did people think he was going to do?
His daily dose of Fox News isn’t telling him to stay.

To Wray's credit, he testified that right-wing extremists were the #1 domestic terrorist threat.
If he was a Trump yes man, they would've just had him stay in. In reality, it's probably closer to him just preserving his job prospects in the private sector and a bit of cowardice not dissimilar to Mueller and Comey.
But then he obeyed the incoming fascist in advance soooo....a wash?
No I wouldn't say a wash, personally. If you knew you were going to be under the purview of a Trump DOJ AG and they'd make your life a living hell, sure some might be able to resist for a little but you wouldn't actually be able to do much. Trump can fire him anyway.
I'm pretty sure this is all about his pension. If he retires now, before Trump takes office, there isn't much that can be done to take his pension away from him. If he stays on and Trump fires him for cause, he will likely get nothing for retirement.
Glad he gets some money in exchange for what will likely result in the loss of lives of many and freedom for everyone.
Good guy.
James Comey would still be eligible for the Federal Employees Retirement System as a federal employee, despite being fired from his FBI director position - so Wray would be too
Leaving the place open for a Trump appointee that will stay there for 10 years
If he was retiring in 3 years anyway, the replacement would've still been a trump appointee.
If Trump makes it until then, he's clearly demented and in bad general shape.
And if you want to be that guy, Wray is technically a Trump appointee
Why technically? Thats exactly what he is and he's been a pretty shitty too
The institutions are collapsing faster and faster each day. This is going to be an absolute shitshow.
I wish we didn't have a housing crisis in Canada or id be more open to getting Americans out of there to live somewhere safer at the moment. I'm truly scared for you guys down there and I don't know what I can do to help.
Americans know how to build, you have room.. invite them up, provide supplies, build a few new cities.
And yes, I realize it's a bit more complicated than that.
It's illegal to build new houses, you'd hurt the property value of existing home owners if you built more housing.
HOW DARE YOU ATTEMPT TO LOWER MY RENT!!!
yes this would be nice to do, except the red tape and the backlog of housing we have.
Investigate treason?
He's top cop, that means he's gotta be home to beat his wife in time.
Top bootlicker is still a coward.
