Turnover at the FBI

 DC Daily Journal:

FBI Director Christopher A. Wray is reportedly planning to resign on or before Inauguration Day, a move widely seen as an effort to avoid being fired by President-elect Donald Trump.

Sources inside the bureau told The Washington Times that Wray sees the writing on the wall.

“He’s going to be gone at the inauguration. On or before the inauguration,” a source revealed.

Wray’s departure marks a turning point for an FBI mired in controversy and criticism under his leadership. Deputy Director Paul Abbate is expected to step in as acting director, although his original plan to stay until summer has been disrupted amid the turmoil.

Meanwhile, Trump’s pick to lead the FBI, Kash Patel, is already making waves as he meets with Republican senators on Capitol Hill. Patel, known for his tough stance on FBI accountability, has been tapped by Trump to clean up the bureau’s tarnished reputation.

Wray’s ousting is not just a Trump initiative — it comes with support from powerful GOP lawmakers.

Senator Charles E. Grassley, who will soon chair the Judiciary Committee, sent Wray a blistering letter this week, demanding both Wray and Abbate step down immediately.

“For the good of the country, it’s time for you and your deputy to move on to the next chapter in your lives,” Grassley wrote, delivering a clear vote of no confidence in Wray’s leadership.

Grassley’s criticism emphasizes years of frustration with FBI misconduct, including politically biased investigations and efforts to discredit Republican lawmakers probing the Biden family.

Allegations of abuse of power have piled up under Wray, leaving Republicans and whistleblowers alike calling for a shake-up.

I suspect there are still some good agents at the FBI but it has been hard to see them as of late.  The agency went downhill under Comey.  They wasted two years under Trump investigating the Russian Collusion Hoax.  The people who pushed that political fraud should also leave.  If I were working at the FBI I would be eager to work with Kash Patel.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t...

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
