When President Donald Trump named his pick for FBI director Wednesday, some former FBI agents were quick to suggest Trump was politicizing the role. The president announced ( over Twitter, naturally ), that he will nominate Christopher Wray to head the bureau.

It was a tad premature since we do not even know if classified material was found and, if so, whether there is a criminal case to be made from such a discovery. I previously testified in Congress on the earlier seizure of the boxes at … [Read more...] about If Trump Mar-a-Lago raid is designed to keep him off the 2024 ballot, it may not work
