Wray seems to have kept his distance from Trump over the years allowing the FBI to maintain some semblance of independence during the past few years so not surprising he is not jumping into the fray here.
Bill Barr, may be having some second thoughts already. Trump already expressed his upset with him over the lack of “results” in prosecutions of political foes. Now with it becoming clearer that Trump is out of office, it might just be that Barr has no interest in sticking his neck on the line more than he has already. Barr, is not going to have another government job, and anyone on the Trump bandwagon trying to undermine an election with improper claims about fraud (especially as we see that these claims are risking leading to deadly violence) is likely risking any future career. Kayleigh McEnany is already coming across like Baghdad Bob. Just outright lying and trying to deny votes that people cast under what they were told was the rules at the time. Voting is the bedrock of democracy and this is what Trump and his accomplices is trying to undermine.
It is one thing to provide evidence that there is voter fraud or legitimate issues with the vote that need to be addressed, but to attempt to undermine a whole election and trigger people to commit violence is treasonous to the principles of American democracy.
Hopefully, congress will unite with one voice to condemn this attack on Democracy and make it clear that there is no possibility that Trump will ever have another term in office.
I get it that there are those who think Trump is good to Israel or this policy or that and that is why they want Trump as president, but to ignore the danger of undermining the foundations of Democracy and what that can mean for our future peaceful existence in the US is a bit much. People in office striving to uphold the principles of Democracy, I think, is far more important than specific legislation.
