Wray's job was to lead a DOJ team of attorneys and to scrub criminal and terrorism indictments of any hint of evidence which originated in the NSA's then illegal domestic surveillance dragnet, and replace that evidence with Parallel Constructions to deceive the Court about how the Govt knew what it knew.
The declassified IG report about STELLARWIND is here:

The 8 pages which mention Wray and describe his role in creating the practice of Parallel Construction are here:

Given Wray's intimate involvement in Parallel Construction, I have zero hope that any help is coming from the very top of FBI/DOJ to shed light on what is going on, how much the Feds are really using Parallel Construction, how far they are going with it, and most importantly, giving us some kind of proof that they have stopped abusing it and bowing to some kind of real oversight process to ensure us that our entire legal system is not a Star Chamber in a Soviet Kangaroo Court on Clownworld.
Why would Wray budge one inch when he's the top honcho responsible for the whole debacle? The buck stops at him. And given the Fed's dismal track record, it's safest to assume Parallel Construction has not stopped, but has expanded and been rolled out even further.
HEMISPHERE is the AT&T dimension of Parallel Construction, so what about the Verizon dimension? And the Sprint dimension? And all the rest of the Telcos and cellular providers? Is AT&T special and only their databases are used for PC? Of course all the telcos are in on it. Wanna bet this is all a sub-compartment of PRISM? We still haven't seen the rest of the PRISM slides leaked by Snowden. On the slide deck it shows the slide numbers up into the hundreds, but only about a dozen of the slides have been published. Where's the rest of it?
