FBI Director James Comey is passionately defending the integrity of the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s private email setup, arguing that critics are unfair to suggest that agents were biased or succumbed to political pressure.
“You can call us wrong, but don’t call us weasels. We are not weasels,” Comey declared Wednesday at a House Judiciary Committee hearing. “We are honest people and … whether or not you agree with the result, this was done the way you want it to be done.”

" You can call us wrong, but don’t call us weasels. We are not weasels,”Hmmmmm...how about Unindicted co-conspirator weasels???
O.K. Crooks.
Calling them weasels is an insult to weasels!
Co-conspirator
As a former senior employee of the Bureau and retiree from DOJ, I have to take exception with your statement. First of all, the reference to “functioning institutions” establishes a false premise, i.e., that the Bureau (and many - if not most - other government institutions) are, in fact, “functioning”. It (the Bureau) “functions” in its investigations of average citizens perfectly well, but clearly fails miserably when it comes to high-level government corruption.
Likewise, what we found out in the few months preceding and the years following 9/11 remains the case; that the Bureau isn’t very good at proactive investigations of terrorism, especially when throttled by a pro-Islam White House and DOJ. What is was good at - at least until the Clinton investigations - was investigating crimes after the fact.
The Bureau, under Comey’s leadership, violated many of it’s own processes and procedures in the course of the so-called email investigation. In Comey’s recent testimony before the House Reform and Oversight Committee, he all but admits it and contradicted his own testimony multiple times between Monday and Tuesday.
The FBI, right down to the lowest-level, most junior support employee or “baby agent”, has always been very proud and protective of its image and reputation. Comey has single-handedly destroyed that reputation. I would compare this situation with the recent issue of CENTCOM leadership “cooking the books” on intelligence relating to ISIS. A few low-level CENTCOM analysts spoke up about it and brought it into the public limelight. Whether anyone will actually do anything about it is another matter entirely - at least for now.
In this case, it’s not a matter of employees “throwing down the gauntlet and storming off in a blaze of righteous indignation” over a minor infraction. It’s a matter of a sham investigation of corruption at the very highest levels of the US Government and using the Bureau as an agent of the state to conceal that corruption.
For some of us, the terms “duty” and “honor” still hold some meaning...
Call them rabid skunks!
I call em as I see em!
If you watch the entire hearing, it bothers Comey horribly to think his contemporaries are challenging his integrity. He asks that they contact him personally so he can plead his case.
Just amazing!!!
The first thing you do when someone says “don’t call me a weasel” is think but wait you are weaselly.
“If you watch the entire hearing, it bothers Comey horribly to think his contemporaries are challenging his integrity. He asks that they contact him personally so he can plead his case.”
Thanks for the summary. I can’t watch these left wingers on tv getting by with breaking the law or not doing their duty to keep the Clintoons in power,
“Federal prosecutor Mary Jo White was appointed to investigate the pardon of Marc Rich. She was later replaced by then-Republican James Comey, who found no illegality on Clinton’s part.”

Lol! No, just damn near everyone else involved. Everyone but the Clintons!
Thanks. :)
