Director Wray Speaks, President Trump Responds
It's all fairly self explanatory:
BREAKING: FBI Dir. Chris Wray "The inspector general did not find political bias or improper motivations impacting the opening" of Russia probe, "or the decision to use certain investigative tools."@PierreTABC : "Included FISA?"
Wray: "Including FISA." https://t.co/Xl47zHIj6Xpic.twitter.com/tKxYqXbvTU

Why Wray thought it would be a good idea to take on Donald Trump publicly is anyone's guess. The response he received will do nothing for Wray's standing within the organization he's supposed to be leading:
I don’t know what report current Director of the FBI Christopher Wray was reading, but it sure wasn’t the one given to me. With that kind of attitude, he will never be able to fix the FBI, which is badly broken despite having some of the greatest men & women working there!

I like Don Surber's take:
The inspector general's report came out and showed the FBI lied repeatedly to get permission to spy on Donald John Trump's campaign.
Instead of remorse, the fellow who headed the FBI at the time celebrated.
He tweeted, "So it was all lies. No treason. No spying on the campaign. No tapping Trumps wires. It was just good people trying to protect America."
Another lie. Jimmy the Weasel Comey has no shame. His successor also has no shame. The good news is President Trump likely will cashier the man.
Maybe Wray wants to be fired.
