Wray had a bad attitude about his job – arrogance was one of them. Not a good communicator either and was good at whining about everything.
He states that – China has penetrated U.S. infrastructure – how did that happen ON HIS WATCH? And, now, he seems to be bragging about it? What a “low blow – like:
FBI’s Wray Reveals That China Has Penetrated U.S. Infrastructure
He has been too busy with all of the Trump trials and did not have time to do his real job. He was over his head in that position. Is that called “pussy-footing” around? Meaning: If you say that someone is pussyfooting around, you are criticizing them for behaving in a too cautious way because they are not sure what to do and are afraid to commit themselves.

Outgoing FBI Director Christopher Wray revealed during an interview on Sunday, a week before he steps down, that China has penetrated America’s water treatment plants, electric grid, and other critical civilian infrastructure, and is lying “in wait” for an opportunity to cyberattack at a time and place of its choosing.
Asked on CBS’s 60 Minutes about Chinese penetration of U.S. cyber and infrastructure, Wray said China’s cyber program is the largest in the world and has stolen more of Americans’ personal and corporate data than every nation combined. Then, he added:
But even beyond the cyber theft. There’s another part of the Chinese cyber threat that I think has not gotten the attention publicly that it I think desperately deserves. And that is Chinese government’s pre-positioning on American civilian critical infrastructure. To lie in wait on those networks to be in a position to wreak havoc and can inflict real-world harm at a time and place of their choosing.
Wray said China has already infiltrated malware into critical American infrastructure.
“Things like water treatment plants. We’re talking about transportation systems. We’re talking about targeting of our energy sector, the electric grid, natural gas pipelines. And recently we’ve seen targeting of our telecommunications systems,” he said.
Wray said China has also been listening into Americans’ calls.
CBS News said China has gathered communications of U.S. national security officials, as well as the Kamala Harris campaign and President-Elect Donald Trump himself
The revelation prompted outrage from former Trump administration officials who say Wray did not do enough to stem the threat from China on his watch, only to discuss it publicly a week from stepping down.
Joshua Steinman, former National Security Council senior director for cyber security during the Trump administration, posted on X:
This enrages me. I left them with the tools they needed to confront this. And it appears those tools went unused for four years. Total mismanagement.

Fox News show host Brian Kilmeade slammed Wray for failing to tackle the threat and criticized the Biden administration for talking about it but not acting.https://www.breitbart.com/t/assets/html/tweet-4.html#1878849528347934749
Other commentators on X slammed Wray for waiting “until the last second” to warn Americans.
“Why did FBI Director Christopher Wray wait until the last second before leaving office to do a 60 min interview and tell us that China has sleeper cells all over the country…?” one posted.https://www.breitbart.com/t/assets/html/tweet-4.html#1878798388050944070
“Wray knows that Chinese agents have infiltrated the country in order to attack the power grid whenever they choose. How did they get here? What EXACTLY is your job description,” another posted.

Wray called stepping down “one of the hardest decisions” he has ever made, but said he had little choice after President-Elect Donald Trump made it clear he would be replaced.
Trump has nominated Kash Patel, former deputy Director of National Intelligence and Pentagon chief of staff for the role.
