“The fundamental trust of the American people and the FBI”
This was partly destroyed by Comey.
The most powerful thing that could restore it is that Americans want to trust the FBI.
Solve this Las Vegas shooting and bring the perps to justice in the open, and you’ll have our trust back.
FBI covering up TWA800 because BJ Clinton ordered it to be “not a terrorist incident” didn't provide trust in the FBI.
Then Scooter Libby getting convicted of lying to an FBI agent in a the Valerie Plame matter when the prosecutor knew full well who had been the person (Armitige) to leak her name.
All of the trust in the FBI seems to be based on the Efrem Zimbalist Jr. TV series, not in reality.
The FBI’s problems began far early than Comey, he just smashed whatever illusion of trust there was into the ground and stomped on it.
“Solve this Las Vegas shooting and bring the perps to justice in the open, and you’ll have our trust back.”
Getting rid of uber-political hacks like McCabe would help some more.
Recommending that the DOJ prosecute elected federal officials and confirmed, appointed officials for fairly obvious violations of federal law would help even more.
In short, DOING THEIR F’ING JOB would restore the faith of the American people in the FBI...but it will take quite a bit of time.
