Christopher Wray, President Trump's nominee to replace former FBI Director James Comey, deleted a line from his law firm bio referencing a 2006 case in which Wray represented an American energy executive who was being investigated by the Russian government, per CNN's KFILE.

What we know: Micheline Tang, a spokeswoman for the law firm King and Spalding, told CNN that Wray removed the detail in January 2017, before he was even considered for taking on the role of FBI Director, in an attempt to make the material on his page "more current." Tang also emphasized that the executive Wray was representing is an American citizen who lives in the U.S., and at the time the law firm, Wray, and the client were "adverse to the Russian Government" as Moscow was looking to exert leverage over the client by launching a criminal investigation.

If it's true he deleted it back in January then I believe the explanation.

 

[SodiumBenzoate]

Seems like he was against the Russian government in the case

That's what Putin wants you to think.

I don't know what the January thing is supposed to prove. Things are strongly pointing to Trump's russian collusion starting long before January 2017.

yeah something tells me its nothing

It's probably nothing, but the optics are terrible. Is it really that hard to find one person without a Russia connection? Just one?

It's explained in the OP. Do you even know who Christopher Wray is?

That's why he deleted it. Didn't want to ruin his chances with comrade Trump.

A nomination for what? Is there any indication he was up for anything at the time?

Sigh. Yes. What I'm saying is that he could've been down with treason-season long before being a nominee for FBI director. Trump was never able to get his oath of loyalty from Comey.

Hmm... This doesn't look like much.

I'm sure that's what happened, that he decided to purge any and all references to Russia from anything related to him because he knew one day Trump would call on him for a position, rather than the more reasonable and believable explanation provided by the law firm.

Any trump appointment in the next 4 years.
