Christopher Wray is promoting Deep Staters and Regime Loyalists with the idea that this will stop Trump from firing them or putting better people into their positions.
Quoting Kerry Picket at the Washington Times:
Sources within the bureau said Mr. Wray has begun promoting employees among the senior executive service, those who serve within the bureau's leadership. These sources described this as an effort to burrow establishment figures deeper within the FBI.
Sources said a plan is being formulated to delay the new FBI director's entry into the agency for three to four months.
Given the FBI's tense history with Mr. Trump since the 2016 presidential campaign, such a strategy is risky.
Paul Sperry reminds us of the sort of people the FBI thinks are the best and brightest:
