badly how firing Comey made him look bc he thought Democrats would love him for it. Wray has no such polarization and Trump would look worse for it. But he might do it if he thought he could find a yes-person for the job but doubt that Republicans in the Senate want to add confirming a "Mini-Barr" to the post in addition to an Impeachment trial.

An AG and president willing to blatantly lie and use the full power of the office for their own benefit is going to be hard to overcome.

If we had held a couple Dems, we only needed a small handful. Paul voted no. Hope we learned a lesson not to believe MF - he always has a hidden motive. And, not believe the repukes - like when they said "sure, we'll put the FBI right on it ("investigating" Kav).
