Retiring FBI chief: Critics claim to like "independence and objectivity" until it hurts them
Briefly

"This is a hard job. You're inevitably going to make different people angry, often very powerful people," Wray said during his '60 Minutes interview. He emphasized the challenges of FBI leadership, navigating intense criticism from multiple sides.
"But part of the essence of the rule of law is to make sure that facts, and the law, and proper predication drive investigations, not who's in power, not who wants it to be so or not so," he told CBS' Scott Pelley, underscoring the importance of impartiality in law enforcement.
Wray stated that the FBI's role is to "follow the facts wherever they lead, no matter who likes it," indicating that the bureau's commitment to truth takes precedence over political affiliations.
He mentioned, "Only if, after all that, we learn that the agents haven't been given all of the classified material and in fact those efforts have been frustrated, even obstructed, then our agents are left with no choice but to go to a federal judge, make a probable cause showing, and get a search warrant," explaining the rationale for FBI's actions.
