Faux agents trying to protect their butts with Faux News
Cry me a river. The news we've seen about the illicit FBI/DOJ conduct during the 2016 election season causes this citizen to think carefully about ever taking the U.S. Department of Justice and any of its divisions seriously again -- to the point of laughing in their faces and removing them from my property if they ever come around even to conduct a legitimate investigation.
When you see a media outlet like this one promoting the idea that a Federal bureaucracy should be allowed to operate without the complete oversight of our primary governing body (Congress), you know they realize the game is over. You'd never see this kind of stupidity if it was a Democratic House committee requesting FBI documents related to a Democratic president.
This line, “...a small group of Republicans who are intent on helping President Donald Trump undermine the integrity of the FBI...” is pretty rich. The list of those who have undermined the integrity of the FBI is long indeed, but it doesn’t include any Republican members of Congress.
The FBI did that all by themselves. They allowed a usurper to politicize and weaponize their department now they pay the price...............
“Some officials view the department as capitulating to a small group of Republicans who are intent on helping President Donald Trump undermine the integrity of the FBI”
As if it had any integrity left! Also, “undermine” here I guess means finding out the truth!
The FBI covered up Obama’s and Clinton’s crimes, and spied on Trump. LOL. this is the government we voted for last administration
So these "agents" are concerned about protecting their sources?
Well they should start with the FBI agent who met Chris Steele in Rome, and told him there was an FBI source inside the Trump campaign !
“One agent said he’s now concerned that forms identifying FBI informants would be handed over to Congress. If that happened, he said, it would cause him to think carefully about whether to withhold sensitive information from future reports.”
The damned FBI has ZERO right to hide ANYTHING from Congress. If it decided to, Congress could literally pass a standard bill of legislation and abolish the FBI in an afternoon. The congress passes every law this prick supposedly enforces. I would like to hear his argument that Congress does not have as much oversight as it wants.
The FBI has decided it is independent of the Presidency. Now it thinks it does not have to answer to congress. They have tried to assume a policymaking role and a role where they select and sit in judgement of the Presidency, and must be slapped down HARD. They probably should be abolished.
I suspect they are concerned longtime, reliable informants will be exposed.
Many years ago when Senator Church conducted a well publicized witch hunt into the CIA, they exposed several reliable, productive foreign contacts. Later it was learned many were lost as they were executed or sent to the gulags. That Committees set the CIA back many years as other foreign national intelligent agencies limited their sharing with the CIA afraid American politicians would damage their work too. IMO, justifiably so!!
I can hardly hold my sides in from laughing. I can't believe these government shills publish such tripe.
Why should the FBI be worried about Republican or Democrat access to their files if they’ve only been following the law?
But Democratic access didn't
Looks like the Chronicle does not believe in Congressional oversight.
So crooked FBI agents a r e going to continue doing what they have been accused of?
They told Hillary’s henchmen to go ahead and dump their computers after they were given immunity.
Since when Is the FBI above the law? If they withold Information,fire them,it seems these democrat hacks feel they don’t answer to anyone
Because only democRats should have access to FBI files.
Like who? Comey? Ohr? Strzok?
Tough noogies. I shed no tears that these duplicitous “agents” could be about to receive their comeuppance.
The Democrat-Firster agents used as sources in this article are either in on the abuse or condone it. They are destroying the FBI and DoJ, not the people trying to stop the worst abuse of government power in US history. To quote the POTUS: OUT!
So which one of the little Bitches that are about to be exposed as Treasonist pukes are whining to their paid hacks in the press?
Strzok?
Paige?
Comey?
Ohr?
Rosenstein?
Yates?
Indict them all. While they await their trials let them watch video from Nuremberg.
