FBI Director Wray is out. Don't tear down the Bureau next. Make it great again
Fox News
We need a federal law enforcement/ intelligence agency that is formidable and sets the standard for excellence.
In 1982, as a young attorney, I joined the FBI to make a difference. There are thousands of skilled and dedicated FBI employees who joined for the same reason. They are starving for new leadership. Chris E. Swecker served 24 years in FBI as Special Agent. He retired from the Bureau as Assistant Director with responsibility over all FBI Criminal Investigations. He currently practices law in Charlotte, N.C.
Much of the FBI’s good will was squandered by its blatantly political investigation of the Trump campaign and its flagrant abuse of four FISA wiretaps on a Trump campaign operative based on an opposition research "dossier" commissioned by former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. High-level FBI officials directing the investigation texted each other about their ability to "smell Trump supporters;" communicated intentions to "stop" Trump and spoke of executing on a purported FBI "insurance policy" against Trump taking office. The FBI leadership team set up an outrageously deceitful briefing of an incoming Cabinet member, respected Army Gen. Mike Flynn, that resulted in his entrapment.
