AG Barr expressed confidence in FBI Director Wray, despite President Trump's tweet earlier today questioning Wray's analysis of the IG report.

During an exclusive interview with NBC News' Pete Williams, Attorney General William Barr expressed confidence in FBI Director Christopher Wray.

Wray, appointed to the position by President Donald Trump, embraced the findings of Inspector General Michael Horowitz' report on the origins of the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. The report absolved the FBI of political bias. The president attacked Wray, saying that "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.

Dude is Beyond Despicable

Good cop, bad cop ?

To give this menace and liar a platform on your network, is absolutely disgraceful!!

Democrats made the biggest mistake they have ever made, They just PISSED OFF 63 MILLION STRONG TRUMP SUPPORTERS. We will take up arms to protect our President. Trump2020Landslide

Barr says just enough to keep the media from holding his feet to the fire. Nice job MSNBC for falling in line.

What, did Barr grow a pair ? Is he actually going to stand up and be a man ?

Very simple question to Trump/GOP and supporters “ If FBI Dir Wray can never fix the problems why won’t Trump hire him like he did Comny?” ........ (the dots are me waiting for a reply)

Trump will tell these clowns to hit the road Jack. It's his way or the highway. Everyone knows that.

D. Wray is in a stone sandwich. Comey and theater group, has done so much harm to the agency, and continues to interject them defensively instead of accepting responsibilty. Wray is trying to protect the agency, not Comey or IG.
