and we should see it as the warning shots. We can count on the incoming leaders at DOJ to soft-pedal any investigation of acts of violence and intimidation. The ones doing these things know this and count on it. Back in the '50's/'60's during the height of Klan etc. incidents aimed at civil rights activists the effort of Hoover and the FBI was aimed more at the activists than the groups burning churches etc. The perpetrators were emboldened by knowing that Hoover may not have liked them but he hated the activists more and they knew they had an easier time of it.

So the wheel spins and what was has come around again. Anyway I think Chris Wray, while not exactly fitting the definition of being effective, is going to be gone or so sidelined he won't matter.
