Law professor Anthony Michael Kreis posted on Blue Sky, "Wray is making a mistake."
Independent journalist Aaron Rupar echoed that sentiment, saying, "Wray hasn't done anything worthy of getting fired by Trump and should've made him do it."

Washington Post columnist Garrett Graff posted, "This is an unbelievable abdication by Wray and makes it so much easier for Trump to install a corrupt leadership under Kash Patel and weaponize the FBI. Wray is doing a huge disservice to the FBI past, present, and future."
Former ethics czar Norm Eisen said that Wray "should’ve made Trump fire him. Anticipatory obedience is not how we will save democracy. Instead you must constantly push back."
"Now Trump won’t have to fire the FBI Director. Wray has cleared the path by obeying the tyrant in advance, violating Tim Snyder’s first rule of how not to deal with dictators," said former Harvard Constitutional Law professor Laurence Tribe.
