On June 9, 2003, President George W. Bush nominated Wray to be the 33rd Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Criminal Division of the Justice Department. Wray was unanimously confirmed by the Senate on September 11, 2003.[12][13][14] Wray was Assistant Attorney General from 2003 to 2005, working under Deputy Attorney General James Comey. While heading the Criminal Division, Wray oversaw prominent fraud investigations, including Enron.[11][15]

In a May 30, 2013 Washingtonian.com article, Garrett M. Graff revealed that Wray was one of the senior Justice Dept officials that nearly resigned in 2004, alongside then FBI Director Robert Mueller and Deputy Attorney General James Comey, due to illegal surveillance techniques the Bush administration had put in place under the Terrorist Surveillance Program. [16] In March 2005, Wray announced that he would resign from his post.[17] His last day at the Justice Department was on May 17, 2005.[citation needed]

In 2005, Wray received the Edmund J. Randolph Award, the Justice Department's highest award for public service and leadership.[18]

Wray joined King & Spalding in 2005 as a litigation partner in the firm's Washington, D.C., and Atlanta offices. Wray represented several Fortune 100 companies and chaired the King & Spalding Special Matters and Government Investigations Practice Group.[citation needed]

During his time at King & Spalding, Wray acted as New Jersey Governor Chris Christie's personal attorney during the Bridgegate scandal.[19][20]

re: employees turning their back on Ag Secretary Perdue

It should be mentioned that there is a toxic landfill near Kansas City

dumping

There are many residents fighting the gov about the dangers of living in the area.

When it rains.... spreads

when it smokes.... spreads

Bill Gates used to be a part-owner until he sold his shares in the dump.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Lake_Landfill

West Lake Landfill is a closed, unlined mixed-waste landfill located in Bridgeton, Missouri. It was featured in the 2017 HBO documentary "Atomic Homefront." Its contents have been shown to include radioactive waste; it is thus also an EPA Superfund cleanup site.

The West Lake Landfill site originated in 1939 as a limestone quarry operated by the Westlake Quarry Company.[3][4][5] Landfilling at the site began in the 1950s.[6]

In 1973, after having changed hands (and responsible oversight) several times, B&K Construction Co., a company contracted by Cotter Corporation, dumped a portion of the original stored radioactive material at a nearby storage facility. 8,700 short tons (7,900 tonnes) of leached barium sulfate, the material with the lowest relative radioactivity, was combined with 39,000 short tons (35,000 t) of topsoil to dilute the contaminated material at the landfill.[7][8][9] The leached barium sulfate was a byproduct of Mallinckrodt Chemical Works’ uranium enrichment program as a part of the Manhattan Project and later nuclear weapons production,[10] and dumping it there was illegal.[1

In February 2018 EPA head Scott Pruitt announced a proposed plan to remediate the West Lake Landfill. Known as “Excavation Plus” or “Alternative 4,” the plan involved removing radioactively impacted material (RIM) with a concentration greater than 52.9 picocuries per gram (pCi/g), to a maximum depth of 16 feet. The proposal would remove approximately 67 percent of the radioactivity from the landfill and take 5 years to implement at an estimated cost of $236 million. Potentially Responsible Parties, including Bridgeton Landfill LLC, Rock Road Industries Inc., Cotter Corporation, and the Department of Energy are liable for the costs of the clean-up. Included in the plan is a proposal to build a cover system which will protect the community of Bridgeton for the long term.

People who owned homes and businesses in this area were stuck unable to move and unable to sell. Their families were sick. There were schools nearby and even a practice field for professional sports (?) and for years they fought for relief.

Who would ever want to live anywhere near that place - no one.
