This is really terrible. It means that Trump will get to put a criminal in as head of the FBI right away, the easier to persecute and intimidate dissidents and targets of Trump's bigotry. Watch closely as authoritarianism continues to creep forward, aided by non-authoritarians quitting, compromising and kissing ass without being forced to do so.

Trump was going to fire him.
Uh, did you forget James Comey also held that position and was fired despite helping Trump because he wouldn't commit to being a lickspittle?
He could have still fought. Biden should have fired Wray in the first place, and he had strong grounds to do so.
