    -If this is true, especially since it is RubyRed So Dakota, get a better Republican Senator from that state.

    Unless you are a Liz-Cheney-Republican, no way you can say that Wray is “a good man” when speaking about his performance as FBI director. You couldn’t even say good woman, good person, or even good llama-lover.

    He has been terrible, the FBI has too many times said something like “we had him under surveillance” AFTER a person commits a heinous crime, and the FBI under his watch has been hostile to whistleblowers.
