Daily Mail: Donald Trump hints at FIRING FBI boss Chris Wray for saying Russia is interfering to hurt Joe Biden and antifa is 'not an organization'
* FBI Director Chris Wray gave evidence to House Homeland Security committee and was questioned on antifa and Russian election meddling
* Wray did not dispute that antifa activists were a serious concern, saying that antifa was a 'real thing'
* But, he said, 'It's not a group or an organization. It's a movement or an ideology.'
* He said Russia had a 'very active' campaign to 'denigrate' Joe Biden
* On Friday Trump was asked if he was considering firing Wray and said: 'We're looking at a lot of different things. I did not like his answer the other day.'
* He slammed him for not saying 'China is the biggest problem' and not saying antifa are 'looters and rioters'
* Move would plunge Trump into a new crisis on eve of election with need to find an acting director and confirm a nominee
* Wray would also be free to speak his mind - as did James Comey, the last FBI director Trump fired
* Only one other FBI director had been fired before Comey, when Bill Clinton removed William Sessions in 1993
Donald Trump hinted he might fire FBI director Chris Wray Friday after he publicly split from the president on 'antifa' and warned Russia has a 'very active' effort to discredit Joe Biden.
Wray testified under oath to Congress Thursday that antifa was 'a movement' and not 'an organization,' contradicting Trump's demand that it be designated a domestic terrorist organization.
As he left the White House Friday to head for a campaign rally in Minnesota, Trump was asked if he was considering firing Wray.
He replied: 'We're looking at a lot of different things. I did not like his answer the other day.'
'I disagreed with him on those very important points,' he said.
'China is the top of the list. The big problem is China and why he doesn't want to say that, that certainly bothers me.
'Antifa is a bad group, they are criminals and anarchists and they are looters and rioters and everything else. I wonder why he is not saying that.'

Update #2: Donald Trump hints he could fire FBI director over Antifa disagreement -- The Independent
WNU Editor: I watched the FBI Director's testimony on Thursday, and I was left shaking my head .... FBI Director Wray Says Russia Is Working To Sway Election In Trump's Favour. Says Antifa Is Not A Terrorist Organization (September 17, 2020). American cities are burning because of groups like Antifa, but the FBI Director's focus is on Russia, Russia, and Russia followed by white supremacist groups. For the moment I do not see President Trump firing the FBI Director. But should President Trump win a second term, he will need to examine who is working under him, and avoid repeating the bad very choices that he has made in the past four years when it comes to hiring people like FBI Director Christopher Wray.

Ron Widen and Director Wray are in collusion.
Wray is lying and saying it is Russia to people like Ron Wyden. Ron Wydiwn is then bawling his eyes out to thelegacy press about it.
Ronnie Wyden swears up and down that it is the Russians responsible for his low poll numbers and not the 100 days of rioting in Portland. Yes sirree Bob.
Ronnie said so, So the Russian might was well bend over and take their punishment from Wray, Wyden and ilk.
IT STARTS AGAIN: Democrats Claim Russian Interference Will Keep Them From Taking Control Of Senate
Wray & Wyden are tag teaming Trump, the Russians and the Public. If the Chinese tell the China class to ATTACK THE RUSSIANS... THEY WILL
