Fmr. FBI Assistant Director Frank Figliuzzi: ‘I Would Be Proud To Be Fired by Donald Trump’

EXCERPT:

FIGLIUZZI: “Why not indeed? I share John Brennan’s discouragement here, and I’ve previously said publicly that I hope that Wray stays until he has to be fired, until Trump has to fire him. I would be proud to be fired by Donald Trump, and I think the men and women of the FBI probably expected that to happen in that way. But, while we can’t get inside Chris Wray’s head, I think this resignation, or announcement of the resignation, tells us more about Donald Trump than about Chris Wray. I think, you know, it gives us a look into the future here because we’ve got an FBI director who felt compelled to resign before the end of his 10-year term because the president-elect and a nominee for FBI director are saying they want to turn the FBI into some kind of secret police agency that pursues political enemies for the president. The nominee for attorney general has used the exact same language as well.”
