FBI Director Nominee Wray: ‘My Loyalty Is to the Constitution and to the Rule of Law’

EXCERPT:

WRAY: "If I am given the honor of leading this agency, I will never allow the FBI’s work to be driven by anything other than the facts, the law and the impartial pursuit of justice, period, full stop. My loyalty is to the Constitution and to the rule of law. Those have been my guide posts throughout my career and I will continue to adhere to them no matter the test. There is no doubt, as this committee knows, that our country faces grave threats. As lots of other people have noticed, America’s law enforcement and intelligence agencies have essentially to pitch a perfect game every day while those who would inflict harm on us just have to hit once to advance their aims. I consider the FBI director’s most important duty to ensure that nothing distracts the selfless patriots at the FBI from the mission. In conclusion, I pledge to be the leader that the FBI deserves and to lead an independent bureau that will make every American proud."
