These are not happy times at the F.B.I.
Morale at the countrys premier law enforcement agency plummeted months ago, after James B. Comey, its director, revived the investigation into Hillary Clintons use of a private email server in October and plunged the bureau back into the political maelstrom just before the election.
Then President Trump fired Mr. Comey on Tuesday, saying he had mishandled the Clinton investigation, and the mood darkened again.
Agents said they were stunned that Mr. Trump would fire Mr. Comey in the midst of an F.B.I. investigation into whether any of the presidents associates had conspired with Russia to swing the election in favor of Mr. Trump. Some said in interviews that news of the firing felt like a gut punch. Others wondered whether they would be able to continue the inquiry.
One senior F.B.I. official said that the president had severely damaged his standing among agents, many of whom are conservative and supported Mr. Trump as a candidate. Agents were angered by the way Mr. Trump fired Mr. Comey, who learned of his dismissal from television reports while he was in Los Angeles. They called it disrespectful.
And agents flatly rejected the assertion Wednesday by a White House spokeswoman, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, during a briefing with reporters that the F.B.I.s rank-and-file supported the sudden firing of Mr. Comey.

Id like to think that those agents assigned to the Russian influence folly would like to move on to a real case.
There is a subtle change in reporting in this article that is significant.
“...in the midst of an F.B.I. investigation into whether any of the presidents associates had conspired with Russia”
Note that they do not say the investigation is about Trump or even members of the Trump administration.
The way I read that, the agents they talked to (if they did, I think most of their unsourced info is from Chuck Shumers staff), are now claiming that the investigation is now just about the “...president’s associates...”. That could be anyone, the doorman at Trump Tower, anyone that might have once met Trump.
I think firing Comey may be the best thing that could happen. Now the true story of the investigation is leaking, and there is no serious investigation.
A recent observation by Rush Limbaugh re vicious fake news/propaganda to force Trump out of office!
As you read, or any time you see anonymous source said, you must disbelieve it. The evidence is much greater and much of this is made up than that it is legitimate and real. You must remember that media isnt media. You are not reading the news. You are being inculcated. Youre being propagandized. You are being misinformed for the purposes of advancing a narrative and agenda, which is to force Donald Trump out of office. The news about this investigation today is wonderful.

Maybe they’ll do a real investigation of Hillary...no, I’m not drunk.
Why would anyone believe anything written in the New York Times? They are the epitome of Fake News!
I do not believe any of this story.
How does the Times reconcile the first 2 graphs? Logically inconsistent even in their bizarro world-view.
You know what ‘disrespectful’ is... ?
Telling the same lies over and over and over..
Remember the video tape that got 4 killed in Benghazi?
NYT FAKE NEWS. FBI officials today, including on Evening News stated, “The Russia investigation is not curtailed in any way.”
Here’s another report by these two NYT nitwits [are they gay since all they report on are feelings?]:
http://m.nwaonline.com/news/2017/may/11/firing-russia-probe-uncertainty-add-to-/
They cite the name of a retired FBI guy here, where they attempt the usual liberal tactic of attributing liberal comments to conservatives... a classic propaganda “appeal to peers.” The also take his comment out of context so it isn’t possible to know what the retired guy was really talking about.
All the agents in the FBI care about is the NY Time’s politics.
yeah I bet, more fake news from the bird cage bottom daily
Why is the FBI watching old RT shows instead of infiltrating AntiFa. You know, the organized political violence in America.
Bullsh*t!!!!
They be stuned for sure.
How can any American who watches television ever imagine ONE single FBI agent EVER being STUNNED by anything? Give me a break. Doesn’t the author know he has shown his stupidity by the title?
Is this a video of a 3-year-old Anderson Cooper?

Conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch obtained 323 pages of emails between former FBI lovebirds Peter Strzok and Lisa Page showing Comey’s FBI was investigating President Trump over his critical tweets of Barack Obama and the FBI. The FBI is purposely slow-rolling its production of emails to Judicial Watch and only processing 500 pages per month in response to a 2017 FOIA lawsuit. Judicial Watch obtained a March 2017 email Peter Strzok sent his boss Bill Priestap and others about probing President Trump’s tweets about being wiretapped by the FBI. Judicial Watch reported:
