As per Dylan Thomas:
'Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.'
'When President Donald Trump wanted to fire Christopher Wray, the FBI Director, Wray did not take any direct legal or public action in response to those threats. However, there were a few key developments around the tension between Trump and Wray:
Trump’s Criticism of Wray: Throughout Trump’s presidency, he frequently criticized Wray, particularly over his handling of sensitive investigations like the Russia probe and the investigation into Hillary Clinton's emails. Trump reportedly grew frustrated with Wray, especially after Wray did not publicly support Trump’s claims about election fraud in 2020.
Threats to Fire Wray: In 2020, there were reports that Trump had considered firing Wray due to his dissatisfaction with how the FBI was handling investigations, particularly those related to the FBI's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. Trump was said to be angry that Wray did not publicly endorse his views on various issues and perceived Wray as not being sufficiently loyal.
Wray's Stance: Despite these threats, Wray did not publicly address or engage in any major actions to resist the possibility of being fired. According to reports, he maintained his focus on doing his job as FBI Director and did not bow to political pressure from the White House. Wray was also aware of his position’s potential vulnerability, but he continued to serve under Trump, despite the tense relationship.
Trump’s Public Remarks: At times, Trump expressed dissatisfaction with Wray's performance but did not take the final step of firing him. It’s worth noting that, unlike FBI Director James Comey (whom Trump did fire in 2017), Wray had a more secure position, as the FBI Director serves a ten-year term and is somewhat insulated from direct presidential control.
Wray’s Response: While Wray did not publicly confront Trump about the firing threats, he did privately assert his independence. For instance, in his Senate testimony and public remarks, Wray consistently defended the FBI’s actions as nonpartisan and professionally conducted, emphasizing the FBI’s commitment to the rule of law. He also denied being pressured by Trump to take any politically motivated actions.
In short, Christopher Wray did not take legal action or make any public moves when Trump threatened to fire him. Instead, he maintained his position as FBI Director, continuing to carry out his duties despite the tensions with the President.'
