https://www.cnn.com/2018/02/01/politics/white-house-worried-wray-nunes-memo/index.htmlTop White House aides are worried FBI Director Christopher Wray could quit if the highly controversial Republican memo alleging the FBI abused its surveillance tools is released, multiple sources with knowledge of the situation tell CNN.
Wray has made clear he is frustrated that President Donald Trump picked him to lead the FBI after he fired FBI Director James Comey in May, yet his advice on the Nunes memo is being disregarded and cast as part of the purported partisan leadership of the FBI, according to a senior law enforcement official.
Wray's stance is "raising hell," one source familiar with the matter said.
Wray has not directly threatened to resign after clashing with Trump over the possible release of the memo, the source added, because that is not his style of dealing with conflict.

I don't really believe he would quit.

Then he could put Rudy Giuliani or Chris Christie in.

I'm sure he is ethical but pissing off the head of the FBI, especially a popular one, just doesn't seem like a good idea. Twitler is so vindictive he'll be convinced that Wray is out to get him. That should help him sleep at night.
