Full Title: FBI: Hundreds of Bureau Agents Took Bribes from CNN, NY Times, NBC News and More; Wray Looks the Other Way to Protect Media Partners

Access to the FBI is for sale.

Concert tickets. Expensive private dinners. NFL tickets. Parties on booze cruises. Discounts on travel.

FBI insiders said more than 60 agents in D.C. alone have been nailed for taking gifts from the news media. Inspector General Michael Horowitz said earlier this week about 50 FBI agents took 300 free gifts from news media.

However, Horowitz failed to stipulate that number is ONLY in Washington D.C. which covers one field office and FBI headquarters. The Inspector General did not examine the FBI’s other field offices, officials said. And the problem of taking free gifts for Intel is rampant, officials said.

According to Hannity the rank and file are hard working honest people in the FBI. I don’t believe it. The rot starts from the top down. It is all corrupt.

There goes the "rank and file" argument.

One of the scariest things on the planet is a crooked cop. Someone who has so much power over you and I, one that can fabricate evidence and ruin your life. Thousands of dollars to defend yourself against charges brought by cops on the take.

What's worse than a crooked cop? A crooked FBI agent, a crooked IRS agent, a crooked prosecutor, crooked deep state.

This government had/has all of the above. Scary scary Ca-Ca.

Remember what the Obozo administration officials did to Cathy Engelbrecht of True the vote/King street patriots tea party?

Obama’s goons sicked the IRS on her and her husband, their private business. Not only the IRS, but OSHA, FBI and I believe the BATF as well in an effort to intimidate them into silence. No one was ever prosecuted for this.

Corruption at the highest levels of our government....or in other words, The Swamp.

There is a lot of reports that started back in spring of 2016 that the NY FBI office was leaking to try to stop the Washington office from squashing the investigations into Clinton. The deal to stop them, was Comey who was going to have a press conference where he laid bare the facts which contradicted Hillary before the election.

No agency of the Executive Branch can be, or was ever intended to be independent.

Yup.

Yes! There needs to be a deep cleaning done at the FBI and those fired need to be replaced with prior military, prior law enforcement. Exactly!

Wray Looks the Other Way to Protect Media Partners
Just when you think it can’t get any worse.


Maybe it just got better.

If hundreds of agents took bribes, then hundreds of media people gave or paid the bribes.

Bribing a government employee is a crime. So what should happen is that hundreds of FBI agents should be fired and perhaps serve time where national security was involved, and hundreds of media people should also go to jail.

Bribing a government official is no minor offense and there should be severe consequences.

If hundreds have been found already in the area immediately around DC, there will me thousands across the globe.

If Wray does not take very aggressive action against both those who bribed and those who took bribes, he should be fired, and promptly. A two year study as to what to do will not get it.

I think Wray is guilty as hell himself in hindering prosecution if this is to believed:

'...FBI Director Christopher Wray wants this the issue of bribery and the FBI to disappear from news headlines, yet he has not launched an internal review nationwide to determine how rampant this problem is inside the FBI, sources said.

Why no national review by the Inspector General’s office?

Wray doesn’t want to go there, officials said.

So how solid is "True Pundit"? IF these accusations are true, Wray needs to be fired forthwith.

Everyone should be fired without benefits. If not prosecuted for taking bribes.

Corrupt, evil to the core, and part of the MSM.
