They know that Trump won't make the mistakes that he made before. He had no way to know what a huge blunder appointing Wray was. Wray must have seemed a good, non-Deep State guy that could fix the FBI. Both Kennedy and Nixon tried to fix the FBI, only to run into J Edgar's extortion machine and voluminous dirt files. According to one of his biographers, Nixon went into Hoover's office to get Hoover's resignation, and walked out shaken and pale.
Gerry Connelly made mention of that in the Weaponization hearing. I wish I could find the video. He said WTTE of "I don't know why my colleagues are surprised that the FBI has an intelligence function. It has done that since its early days, under Hoover," then he trailed off as if he realized that wasn't a very good argument for them doing it not. Sadly, the FBI's "intelligence" function has been more and more a covert ops function. The FBI is doing to U.S. elections what the CIA has long done to elections in other countries.
Trump will clean house for real this time, and the senior leadership knows that he will get rid of them if it is the last thing he does. What could they possibly blackmail Trump with at this point? Nothing they have thrown at him has stuck. They will have to get him before the election or they are doomed. I worry to think of how far they might take it this time.
No matter how many whistle blowers come forward, they will have to keep it up. Congress can report on everything the DOJ/FBI does in real time and that exposure would not make them stop, because they can only survive if they succeed in stopping Trump.
