The FBI has lawyered up…
They know the Durham probe is likely going to wrap up – at least partially – by the end of Summer, according to AG Barr, so the disgraced bureau is bracing its self for the inevitable hits that are coming.
Disgraced Director Christopher Wray picked Jason Jones, who is a partner at the law firm “King & Spalding LLP,” to join the FBI as general counsel. He will start in August, a perfect time to be in the hot seat when the Russia investigation fallout starts to crash on the scene.

The FBI has hired a new top lawyer as it contends with fallout from the Russia investigation.
Director Christopher Wray picked Jason Jones, a partner at law firm King & Spalding LLP, to come on as general counsel, an FBI representative confirmed to the Washington Examiner.
He will start in August, according to an internal letter obtained by the Wall Street Journal. Wray and Jones previously worked together at King & Spalding LLP. Two recent deputy attorneys general, Sally Yates and Rod Rosenstein, rejoined the law firm after leaving the Justice Department.
Jones is replacing Dana Boente, who faced criticism by Republicans for his role in the Russia investigation. Boente agreed to resign under pressure in late May and left the bureau at the end of June.
Jones, a former federal prosecutor, is joining the bureau as it cooperates with U.S. Attorney John Durham’s criminal investigation into the Russia investigation and conducts a review of Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act applications after the Justice Department watchdog found several “significant errors and omissions” in the surveillance of Trump campaign associate Carter Page.
Of course, the law firm “King & Spalding” is a veritable who’s who of Deep State cronies and now is home to Sally Yates and rat Rod Rosenstein.
Don’t be fooled, Wray is a Deep State swamp creature just like the rest of them and he and his fellow swampers will do whatever they have to do to protect their own.
My hope is that when Trump wins his second term (which he will, by the way) he replaces Wray with someone like Richard Grenell.
