Talk:Christopher A. Wray

Wray is as republican as Chris Christy. The link you have is pay-walled. Pay-walled links should not be allowed on any wiki as they are not accessible information to the general public. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:480A:8834:8F01:C909:B06E:58C3:3483 (talk) 21:39, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

Some added he is republican with no ref. I understand these types of positions are non-partisan. Several times Comey has been praised on CNN for being someone you can't tell which party he supports. Therefore I'd expect this subject should be similarly non-partisan given their Justice Dept record. Legacypac (talk) 05:37, 8 June 2017 (UTC)

:If there is a primary ref with him identifying as a particular party, it could/should be added. But, I wouldn't judge Wray based on previous FBI directors.--v/r - TP 13:55, 8 June 2017 (UTC)

::FBI Director has never been a partisan position before. If Wray is partisan that deserves it's own section in the article.http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/05/12/donald-trump-fbi-kelly-ayotte-john-cornyn-215130 Legacypac (talk) 17:34, 8 June 2017 (UTC)

: Legacypac - Political Party identification in the infobox often happens for [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Director_of_the_Federal_Bureau_of_Investigation#Lists_of_officeholders directors of the FBI] -- see J. Edgar Hoover (Republican), Clarence M. Kelley (Republican), William S. Sessions (Republican), Louis Freeh (none shown), Robert Mueller (Republican), and James Comey (Independent). Also, historically the FBI is right-wing and not apolitical, although the Hatch Act is supposed to keep them away from elections, and details of ongoing investigations are not shared -- up until the recent U.S. election, which seems to have taken both to be required rather than prohibited.

::Really the only relevant consideration here is WP:V-do we have any sources saying anything about whether he belongs to a political party, and if so, which one? We need an WP:RS to verify that for us so there is no guess-work. Marquardtika (talk) 19:46, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

A lot of newsworthy events regarding Chris Christie and Wray's relationship. Thinking a section dealing with prominent associations would be in order.

"Christie and Wray have a long relationship. When Wray was head of the Justice Department’s criminal division, he worked with Christie, who was U.S. Attorney for New Jersey, on an investigation into an accounting scandal at drug-maker Bristol-Myers Squibb. The company agreed in 2005 to pay $300 million as part of a deferred prosecution agreement."

It is incorrect to state, "On November 30, 2024, President-elect Donald Trump nominated Kash Patel to replace Wray." The President-Elect has stated his intention to make this nomination, but he has no constitutional authority to make any nomination until he is inaugurated. At that time, he may make a nomination. The referenced date will need to be changed to January 20, 2025 or later. Bmvoelker (talk) 23:09, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

:I've wordsmithed the sentence to make clear that it isn't a nomination yet. cheers. anastrophe, an editor he is. 05:30, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
