Former FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force Member: Director Wray Must Resign
2018-02-20
[FOX] Former FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force member and Navy veteran Steven Rogers said Monday that FBI Director Christopher Wray should resign in the wake of a reported missed tip about the Florida school shooting suspect.

Rogers said there was a failure in intelligence sharing by the bureau, after a tip was received about suspect Nikolas Cruz, but apparently not acted upon, after Wray took charge of the FBI.

"The director of the FBI should not only resign, but the entire leadership [and] executive officers should resign," he said.

Rogers said that if Wray, a former attorney for 2016 presidential candidate Chris Christie (R-N.J.), does not resign, he should be fired.

"The priorities of the FBI should be [the] protection of the American people," Rogers, also a former police lieutenant in Nutley, N.J., said.

Rogers said that a "blue wall of silence" has apparently been constructed at the FBI, and that the bureau must "tear that wall down."

#7  Too big + no competition = GOVERNMENT

#6  Wray's departure may take a little of the pressure off, but the entire organization needs a 'top down' overhaul.

Won't work - their problems are that (i) they're too big, and (ii) have no competition.

#4  When somebody trumpets as loudly and repeatedly as possible his intention to shoot up a school it is a threat that needs to be taken seriously. The FBI did not take it seriously and people died. So now we have all this gun control bullshit. That's enough to make a reasonable person wonder what the hell is going on.

Yesterday was a holiday so I'll give Wray a pass on that but I'm surprised I have not heard about his resignation yet today. If he won't resign then Trump should fire him. Let the Democrats scream all they want. When a failure is this big and it's only the most recent in a whole long string of failures it's time for some heads to roll.

#3  Any explanations or reasons given for the inaction ?

There is this Russian Collusion thing the FBI has loved and adored for almost two years.

#2  So what action is Wray taking? Anyone appointed to conduct an internal investigation? Any changes in Miami Field Office leadership? Suspensions? Firings? Reprimands? Admonishments? Voluntary resignations? Shameful adminssions ?

Any explanations or reasons given for the inaction ?
