The Hill: Trump and advisers considering firing FBI director after election: WaPo 

President Trump has reportedly talked with his advisers about the possibility of firing FBI Director Christopher Wray after Election Day due to the president’s frustration that federal law enforcement officials have not delivered information that would help him politically in the final weeks before the election, people familiar with the matter told The Washington Post. 

According to the sources, discussions between the president and his senior aides have resulted from criticisms that Wray and Attorney General William Barr have not fulfilled Trump’s wish for an official investigation to be launched into Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden.

WNU Editor: This blog has done a few posts on why the FBI director should be fired. I was actually thinking of putting up a post tonight on why was Hunter Biden's laptop .... held by the FBI since last year .... have said nothing about it nor launch an investigation. Especially since we now know what is in it. To say that something is not right is an understatement. And now this story from anonymous sources to the Washington Post saying that President Trump wants to fire the FBI Director. They say these sources are aides to the President. Hmmmmm .... A part of me wonders if it is maybe the FBI Director himself who is the source to the Washington Post.

Power Line Blog: IS THE CIA STILL COVERING UP? 

 The Federalist has a story about the CIA continuing to frustrate any investigation into America’s worst-ever scandal, the Russia hoax. It is the kind of story I often don’t pay attention to, as it is based on the accounts of “multiple senior U.S. officials.” So take it for what it is worth. But Sean Davis has a good track record, I think, and the story has a ring of plausibility to those versed in bureaucratic affairs. 

  Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Director Gina Haspel is personally blocking the declassification and release of key Russiagate documents in the hopes that President Donald Trump will lose his re-election bid, multiple senior U.S. officials told The Federalist. The officials said Haspel, who served under former CIA Director John Brennan as the spy agency’s station chief in London in 2016 and 2017, is concerned that the declassification and release of documents detailing what the CIA was doing during the 2016 election and the 2017 transition could embarrass the CIA and potentially even implicate Haspel herself.

The first rule of bureaucracy is that officials in any agency will prioritize protecting their organization over any other objective. It seems to be a rule of human nature. 

  “Haspel and [FBI Director Christopher] Wray both want Trump to lose, because it’s the only chance they have of keeping their jobs,” one senior intelligence official told The Federalist. “They’re banking on Biden winning and keeping them where they are.”
