According to some folks, a couple of agents, no longer feeling comfortable and free to criticize leaders over coffee or lunch, with other agents, known to them for many years, in case they’d be “reported to others in DC” and they’re jobs would no longer be secure at the Bureau when they were looking forward to life after retirement. Numerous agents who had worked for the FBI since college graduation and had been thinking of other careers after 25 years and still young enough to spend another 25 years working in security elsewhere!
This one story may seem trivial to numerous folks here, especially those who are quite a while in their retirement but I’ll bet there are guys and gals with young families who seem to feel trapped with not many choices after years working at a very honorable job investigating ban or securities fraud, when they never committed anything but honesty and integrity in their work or private life, to all of a sudden, having a new administration appoint crooks, liars and thieves to the top of their food chain.
A number of agents stepped forward and blew the whistle on their bosses, yet even then these people are in relative obscurity for legitimate reasons - threats and real physical harm to themselves but even their spouses, kids, etc.
A few might sign up for that when they are single but many simply will not signup for that option when they haves wives, husbands and children are involved.
I might not like it and like you, have stated “if anyone had even one ounce of integrity, they’d toss their job security and ‘comfy retirement,’ regardless of their families!” without a thought of life for “walking in those same shoes.”
Wray has turned out to be a bad pick by President Trump.
Any well meaning individuals don’t matter no matter how courageous they might be. It didn’t work for Von Stauffenberg and it won’t work here. This is why we have to dissolve these agencies and turn over all domestic affairs that these agencies currently handle over to the states. Depending on the state, these agencies come under the purview of the state AG or governor. if these agencies act unprofessionally or illegally, the governor or AG is responsible. Right now it’s the president and we all know that his power here to reform these agencies is a joke.
What is left of these agencies (foreign affairs) needs to be restructured and some effective means of checking their power needs to be implemented. Whether that means judicial oversight and/or legislative oversight with real teeth. They also need to scrupulously follow the constitution and if they fail, agents need to be personally responsible.
In the mean time, the best the public can do now is continue to raise the issue, refuse to give these agencies evidence and if serving on a federal jury, opt for jury nullification (as a means of civil disobedience) when evidence is presented by these agencies.
No more band-aids. Believe me if the public stop supporting these agencies and their people, they will be forced to reform.
When speaking with Dan Coats, he told me he “ran on term limits (2), so was through serving. What he didn’t tell me, he wasn’t leaving DC and probably working for a lobbyist on things against America!I even think when Dan Coats served, he was on this same Senate committee!

It's a septic tank.
Why would the new “top dog” have to come from Gov’t?
Wray is a multi millionaire. He certainly didn’t need the money. He made his money by connections and they, in turn, pushed for him. Comey, Mule and so many others should never had gotten their political hack jobs. There are probably hundreds of qualified people who could run the FBI and would do a good job. Of those, there are only a few the Swamp will take.
After the occupant of the head shed is gone and those two layers of cancer, make the rest of the FBI walk across broken glass and hot coals to prove they want to keep their jobs. /#irrigated taxpayer.
That would virtually empty the District of Corrruption: an excellent idea.
I think the greatest weakness of the Trump administration has been the dearth of cabinet and top white house aides who actually support the agenda he ran on. There have been as many or more under-miners as true supporters of the president’s efforts.
Are you talking about Lindsey Graham, or some other committee chairmen? Lindsey’s a regular Jekyll and Hyde for much of this year.
And Paul Ryan was supposed to become a “full time dad” when he left the House. Looks like he’s still hanging around DC and the Fox headquarters. Maybe he moved his family to DC.
Wray can only delay for so long. At some point the dam will burst and he will have to decide if he wants to go down with the traitors by trying to protect them, or if he wants to be part of the reconstruction of the FBI.
Have to go deeper than that. What the President needs to do is, through a back channel, find some old FBI agent that has no problem telling anyone how the cow eats the cabbage. One of the ones that’s been in trouble here and there, never got promoted, never wanted to get promoted, liked being on the street, avoided at all costs any assignment in DC and being around the McCabes/Strzok’s/Priestap’s, all the bosses hate him because they know their sh*t and get the job done but they don’t necessarily do in proper FBI, hoity toity fashion. An agent that is more rough, veteran street cop, than they are polished agent in Brooks Brothers.
That’s the person that knows everything and everybody. They got friends all over the place and they’re fed all the gossip and know about all the dirty sh*t these people have done.
Why? Because going 2 layers deep isn’t enough. You need the knuckledragger to start naming the names of everyone that was in the Comey/McCabe/Strzok/Priestap/Page/Baker/Lynch/Holder clique, down to the most junior person. And then lay waste to all of them. For those that can’t be fired, assignments in the worst offices, investigating whatever. Make life hell for them.
There are whole offices filled with these people pledged their loyalty to these criminals in the hopes of getting pulled up for all they did for the crown.
It is approaching the point at which we really must face reality and realize the “Civil War” we have all known was coming is not in the future but in the past. We lost. We didn’t even realize it.
