The tenure of Christoper Wray as FBI director represents a missed opportunity.  After the problematic directorship of James Comey, Wray’s appointment by President Donald Trump on May 9, 2017, was welcomed by most current and former agents as well as the American people, who wanted the Bureau restored to its position of trust. With a ten-year term and the principal malefactors of the Russian collusion farce already fired, Wray was in a position of strength.   Under the Mueller/Comey cabal, the bureau culture had changed from that of a law enforcement agency to an intelligence mindset. That’s what led us into the ugly morass of the Russian collusion narrative and ensuing fiascos.

The Department of Justice’s inspector general, Michael Horowitz, issued a damning report Thursday concerning the FBI’s handling of child sex abuse cases. This report comes three years after one which documented a lapsed culture at the Bureau. In the current review, the IG looked at 327 cases and found that the FBI was slow to respond to reports of child sex abuse, failed to follow up on leads and failed to advise other agencies. The report cited a case where no investigative activity was recorded for over a year, while the subject went on to abuse another child. Some cases were so concerning that the IG team in the middle of their review referred forty-two of them to the FBI for immediate attention.
