Chris Wray may be resigning as FBI director to stop Donald Trump loyalist Kash Patel from immediately taking over the agency, several analysts have said.Trump announced that he will appoint campaign strategist Patel as FBI director, with Wray telling bureau staff on Wednesday that he would be resigning in January. By resigning, rather than waiting for Trump to fire him, Wray is setting up a legal obstacle to Patel's immediate installation as FBI director. Author David French wrote in The New York Times on December 11 that under the Vacancies Reform Act, if a vacancy occurs in a Senate-confirmed position, the president "can temporarily replace that appointee (such as the FBI director) only with a person who has already received Senate confirmation or with a person who has served in a senior capacity in the agency for at least 90 days in the year before the resignation." FBI Director Christopher Wray appears before the House Judiciary Committee on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, on July 24, 2024. Wray announced on December 11 that he will resign in January.

Chris "Kash Patel, Donald Trump's chosen successor at the FBI, meets neither of these criteria. He's not in a Senate-confirmed position, and he's not been a senior federal employee in the Department of Justice in the last year. That means he can't walk into the job on Day 1," French wrote. Newsweek sought email comment from Wray's office and from Patel on Thursday. Trump will have to select someone else to lead the FBI immediately, or, under the Vacancies Reform Act, the position will default to the "first assistant to the office." "In this case, that means the position would default to Paul Abbate, who has been the deputy director of the FBI since 2021, unless Trump chooses someone else, and that 'someone else' cannot be Patel, at least not right away," French wrote. "The bottom line is that the Senate has to do its job. Wray is foreclosing a presidential appointment under the Vacancies Reform Act." Attorney and conservative podcaster, Erick Erickson, wrote on X, formerly Twitter, on Wednesday that Wray has created "a legal obstacle to Trump trying to bypass the Senate confirmation process." In the past, Trump has not hidden his dislike for Wray.

Times must add 'convicted felon' to his name.

The fools will not vote for trump or Republican party.So many vague comments these days without any common sense reflect in the forum and is a shame for all those commenting. Mr Trump defeat Democrat party this election because of the Persons capacity to handle things that are not resolved during the last presidency hence people defeated Democratic party

The stupids and crooked Christians voted for Trump. Most of these people cannot think. Because their brain is bloked by their pastors and wicked leaders. They asked the zombies to vote for the convicted felon and they went and voted for him. Now, for another four years along with these idiots rest of the population is going to suffer. Trump is appointing all the criminals to the cabinet to do his dirty job. He is curse to the world.

If you want to adore him you do it. Don’t speak for the American people. You are a stupid to believe that Dumb is the President of all American. You are also a fool like Trump to belive that all the Dumb supporters are with high IQ. You better get your brain checked out before it deplets completely

Those who hate Trump should consider relocating to Canada. They could come back if Democrat wins 2028 election. Trump will not be a threat to law abiding citizens. If trump does anything illegal, a citizen could approach the court system. Now let us see if trump is good for the country.

More peole hate Trump so Let them Stay here. More over Trump is interested in making Canada the 51st state. He can move to Canada along with all his idiotic -moronic -stupid followers along with all the wicked Christians. Jacob can make the Zach NY sit on your lap and take him along with him. On the way can continue with his extracurricular activity.

The Jackass stopped crying. So, why don’t you follow the Jackass and stop crying. It is not going to do any good. At least show that you are better than your logo. Are you? If not, keep crying. You have four long years. Get used to it you morons.

Donald Trump was named ‘Person of the year’ of TIME magazine - AGAIN! I was just guessing that it would happen. In 2016 and 2024! In 2016 he was not expected to be elected based on the opinion polls. He also became the GOP nominee after crushing all other 16 candidates. With all his bad records, foul mouth, immoral personal history and divisiveness. It only showed how the American society was superficially political. In 2020 he got elected with majority electoral college and with popular votes. Again, he and his campaign were able to convince the superficially political society to elect him. We have to remember that he was elected by majority - this year 76.9 million vs. 74.4 million. Trump profited from illegal immigrants and inflation. What we are going to see is some initial deporting of illegal immigrants that are in the criminal system or get involved in the judicial system. As undocumented people disappear from our vicinity, people will be paying more even to mow their lawns and unskilled work at homes. Trump acknowledged in the TIME magazine that price of groceries is not likely to come down. Tariffs will raise many consumer goods. Superficially voters and the so called Trumplican Mallu commentators in emalayalee were raising the above two issues. These concrete Trumplicans will still be happy that Trump is the president.

When Trump deport all the illegal imigrants Sunil Hi Shame Jacob John and many will disappear from this coloumn . They have to do the house chores, lown mowing, and many other work. We don’t know what else is going to happen to these people! We don’t know their immigration status.
