I’m not totally sure, but I am hearing rummers that the current director of the FBI will be resigning. This does surprise me in that I was thinking the man was going to dig his heels in and hold onto the post as long as he can.

I first heard the news about 10 this evening and I started trying to make sense of it. Then I heard about an 11 page letter that Rep. Grassley sent to Wray. My first thought was that he said something in the letter to make him change his mind. However, I am suspicious it was something else and they, the powers that be, want us to think it was the letter. The letter certainly does give Wray an excuse to back our of his previous stand.

Then, I got to thinking. It is most likely that someone whispered to him, somewhere out of sight. I don’t know. It’s just conjecture but it does make sense.

It might have been a threat, maybe to reveal something from his past. On the other hand, it might have been an offer, maybe to work in some big law firm. I am convinced that deals like that are made all the time, you know.

Then I reconsidered. Maybe it was both.

Ever-which-way, he sure did make that decision in a hurry. Moreover, it appeared they didn’t need to twist his arm nearly as much as I thought they would.
