An honorable FBI..?!
He besmirched the name of a long-disgraced FBI.
“It’s just the tippy top that’s no good..!”
I don’t believe it.
“But importantly, the memo does not in any way reflect on the outstanding work of the more than 35,000 dedicated men and women of the FBI.”
You mean those “honorable FBI agents” who killed Vicky Weaver, burned down the Branch Davidian Compound, killed LaVoy Finnicum, and covered up TWA 800? Those guys?
If you don’t think the stink goes deeper than the seventh floor in DC, you’re not seeing reality.
.........when I was sworn in to the US Navy Reserve February 7, 1967 some of the words in the oath were “I swear to obey all LAWFUL ORDERS”.
Former FBI agents (mostly all lawyers), former DOJ people (mostly lawyers) all have one thing in common. Namely, “let’s not hold anybody accountable if they have a law degree”. This guys “sorry” for his FBI! I’m not. To hell with them, many of the 35,000 had to know and did nothing. I’m sorry for the American People and not only that this even happened but also because millions of us are not marching on Washington to burn the DOJ and the FBI to the ground and move their duties elsewhere as some more knowledgeable than me have called for. This was a crime against the American People! Not the FBI or DOJ !!! People need to be punished SEVERELY!!!
“little people”
The FBI may have been honorable before Hoover, it hasn’t been since then.
I’m curious to know about a very gullible, or complicit FISA Court Judge.
Everybody seems to want to dance around the one figure in this mess that could have asked a few more questions perhaps, or asked some at all.
From everything I've read recently, Comey was hardly a leader, stepping aside to allow the inmates to run the asylum. At this point it looks like about the only job Comey did do, was to sign FISA warrant requests, and to show up to pick up his paycheck.
Trump speaks the Truth.
That this doofus is teaching ethics anywhere is a hoot.
William and Mary alum
wheres the outrage?
Where is the ACLU on all of this? The FBI and DOJ clearly violated the Civil Rights of American citizens.
The people in the Agency who looked the other way by definition are not honorable.
Begging your pardon, the FBI hasn’t been an honorable institution for several decades.
Wher’s Efrem Zimbalist Jr. when we need him?
The author just does not get it. In his mind all those who work for the FBI are good people; this is the type of delusion that allows this type of stuff to happen, if u don’t believe me , ask someone from Michigan State, Penn State, or the Catholic Church!
“But importantly, the memo does not in any way reflect on the outstanding work of the more than 35,000 dedicated men and women of the FBI.”
BS.
I’m go to have to abject to the notion that the FBI is an honorable institution. Ever since the days of J Edgar Hoover the FBI has had it’s hands in political corruption at the top.
It is an open question if the FBI was ever honorable during last four decades. The institution is none the last one prone to corruption, and give him far far too much trust given its history.
If the facts stated in the memo are true despite the highly political nature of congressional committees then there was either incompetent or deliberate manipulation of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) Court to get approval of the surveillance.
