This may well lead to Wray being fired, just like Comey. one of the parallels in the two situations is that Trump is meeting today with Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov, just as he did when he fired Comey. Why he would be meeting with the Russian foreign minister in a meeting closed to the media, now of all times, is beyond me.
I believe Trump is getting instructions from his boss Putin on what to do next to help the Russian dictator keep his puppet in power for four more years.

Of course when you read the article that’s not what happened.
Accurate versions for the headline:
- Man dies after crash on Rt. 146 in Lincoln
- Man killed in crash on Rt. 146 in Lincoln
Another Great Read from PZ
You want to see a truly deep delusion? I give you “Elizabeth Holmes Is a Visionary, and We Need More Like Her”. It’s an attempt to salvage the reputation of Elizabeth Holmes, who bilked investors to build a blood-testing machine that didn’t work …
