Trump appointed Christopher Wray as FBI director in 2017 after he fired former FBI boss James Comey.<\/p>\n<p>Thus, Wray is a &#8220;Trump guy&#8221; in the strictest sense of the word. However, Wray also is a law enforcement pro. He is a seasoned prosecutor with many years of experience looking for bad guys.<\/p>\n<p>To suggest that Christophe Wray would turn the FBI into a political weapon would be to deny the man&#8217;s long and distinguished history as a career prosecutor. It also is to defame his reputation.<\/p>\n<p>FBI Director Wray doesn&#8217;t need me to defend him. I just feel the need to remind those critics of the FBI search (I will not call it a &#8220;raid&#8221;) that the FBI boss is an official dedicated to finding the truth behind a potential criminal act.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:johnkanelis_92@hotmail.com\">johnkanelis_92@hotmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=jkanelis\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I need to set the record straight in a brief response to one of the criticisms being leveled at the FBI in the wake of its searching Donald Trump&#8217;s Florida home for evidence of criminality.
