Ruth Marcus: Christopher Wray Allowed Trump to Shatter Yet Another Norm Without Imposing Any Cost on Him

EXCERPT:

MARCUS: “I 100 percent agree with David on this one. This is — should be and has been an apolitical job. No one was fired, except for one person who was scorned by the Bush Administration and then fired by the Clinton administration after an extensive finding of wrongdoing that might now look minor in comparison to some of the things that we have seen, until Donald Trump came along. Now he has done it twice, but he hasn’t had — but Wray capitulated in advance. He obeyed in advance. And he allowed Donald Trump to shatter yet another norm without imposing any cost on him. And that’s separate and apart from the caliber of the person that Donald Trump wants to replace him with. He could want to replace him with Bob — bring Bob Mueller back, and I think both of us would have the same attitude, which is, this is not an ordinary political appointment and it should not be transformed into one. But here we are.”
