Have Trump and Sessions "got to" the new FBI Director, Chris Wray?

He and Rosenstein made a trip to see Paul Ryan. The next day we read that Nunes is going to continue his investigation of Hillary Clinton. Most likely, they were ordered to make that trip to see Ryan?

What does it mean and what are the consequences if Christopher Wray is willing to do Trump's bidding?

Is that a roadblock to Mueller's investigation?

Can Wray stop the FBI part of the investigation?

It seems like a huge decision to decide that a new investigation of Hillary Clinton is called for?

Paul Ryan took Nunes' side JI7 Jan 2018 #1

And Rosenstein and Wray agreed with Paul Ryan? kentuck Jan 2018 #2

Rosenstein is Wray's boss. Wray has no power over him. OliverQ Jan 2018 #3

Sessions and Trump are Rosenstein's boss... kentuck Jan 2018 #4

Sessions isn't Rosenstein's boss on matters of Russia OliverQ Jan 2018 #5

But Nunes was not investigating Russia, he wanted to investigate Hillary. kentuck Jan 2018 #6

I think this was about Nunes subpoenas on Fusion GPS regarding OliverQ Jan 2018 #7

I recall reading that they were going to open up investigation on Clinton Foundation. kentuck Jan 2018 #8

From what I've read, Rosenstein and Wray called in Ryan to discuss removing Nunes as Chairman due to his unethical behavior on the Intel Committee, and Ryan ignored them and decided to side with Nunes over Rosenstein/Wray.
