No reason to protect the reputation of the Bureau insofar as it is undeserved and needs major reform -- unless you, too, need your prior deeds obscured.

I think it only fair to let it all play out before we cast the entire agency under the bus. The FBI has done some outstanding work (disrupting terror plots) as well as some quite dubious actions (Roger Stone arrest, for example). The poor reputation isn't of the department but those politicized leaders with their hands on the levers of power. They need to be culled.
But saying their reputation is undeserved or doesn't need to be protected is the same as the Lefties saying gun ownership is a threat to safety when some whacko goes on a shooting spree. It's too broad of a brush.
I don't know if Wray is a white hat, gray hat or black hat. I've been disappointed that more hasn't been done publicly to demonstrate how they are cleaning up the Bureau but there have been a lot of the hierarchy dismissed since he's been the Director. It's seldom publicized unless the principal alerts the media. Same with the DOJ.
But, in the interests of the good and hard-working men and women of the FBI, protecting the agency's reputation is important in my opinion.
