An open letter to Christopher Wray.
Christopher you don’t know me and you’re probably going to think it’s quite presumptuous of me to being giving you advice. When you became Director of the FBI it probably felt like the culmination of a lifes journey. I can’t imagine that when you were sitting in the Senate committee room being questioned prior to your confirmation that you really comprehended the Hornets nest you were walking into.
Bravery is not something that we spend a lot of time thinking about. For the most part most of us just imagine that when the circumstances call for it we will muster the courage to do what needs to be done.
Like so many others you probably believed you could negotiate the Trump world. After all you had spent a lifetime dealing with the “bad guys” and choosing right over wrong. None of that prepared you for the immorality of Donald John Trump. I assume that you are an honorable man. I assume that like most parents you want the respect of your children. I suspect that you want your legacy to mean something.
Christ there are moments in all of our lives where we have to make a choice. That moment is upon you now. Both before your tenure as Director and after it began there have been others who have borne witness to the lawless behavior of Donald John Trump. Far too many of those people remained silent. Their silence only further emboldened a lawless man. Now only weeks before the next election is your moment. Do you have the courage to do what’s right? You are uniquely positioned at this moment in time to inform not just the American people but the world about the criminality of Trump.
This must be a daunting decision for you. It comes with a price. History will remember you no matter what you do. The choice is simple. You are either a hero or a collaborator in the perpetration of the demise of your country. In reality you really have nothing to lose by being the hero. You’ve been part of the Trump administration long enough to know that there’s already a bullseye on your back. Time to stop dancing with the devil and stand up. You can make a difference but it has to be now. Everything that we hold dear is at stake. What are you going to do Christopher??
Think!!
Eyes Wide Open!!!
