Wray, a life-long conservative Republican, points out that none of the 38,000 people working at the FBI are political appointees. "They tackle the job with a level of rigor, and tenacity, and professionalism, and objectivity that I think is unparalleled." https://t.co/rBrGVerIW8

I know there were a lot of early takes last week that the Dem base stayed home. But as the votes continue to be counted, we now know that Harris won more votes than Biden in 4 of 7 battlegrounds and ran almost exactly even with him across the 7 states.

Jack Smith’s best option now is likely a public report, per special counsel regs, to record for history Trump’s conduct to defraud 2020 election and steal government secrets. Write like the wind, Mr. Smith.
