All through the FBI investigation into Hillary Clintons private bathroom email server and the exposure of classified information, I tended to take a wait and see attitude and gave FBI Director James Comey significant benefit of the doubt, if not outright praise at times. He was digging up a lot of information and, as I saw it, going out of his way to keep the public informed as to what was being found and the direction the case was taking. Even at the end, while highly dubious about his conclusion, I found myself having at least a bit of sympathy for him when considering the mountain he would have had to climb in bringing charges against a presidential candidate in the middle of a heated campaign, not to mention the potential backlash from the various allies of the Clintons.
Since that time however, weve learned more and more about all the maneuvers which took place, largely to the benefit of Hillary Clinton and her staff. Some were truly spectacular in their jaw dropping nature and now it sounds as if at least some of the agents in the Bureau are fed up with Comeys handling of the case. The New York Post spoke to some of them and describes them as being nearly in open revolt.
Veteran FBI agents say FBI Director James Comey has permanently damaged the bureaus reputation for uncompromising investigations with his cowardly whitewash of former Secretary of State Hillary Clintons mishandling of classified information using an unauthorized private email server.
Feeling the heat from congressional critics, Comey last week argued that the case was investigated by career FBI agents, So if I blew it, they blew it, too.
But agents say Comey tied investigators hands by agreeing to unheard-of ground rules and other demands by the lawyers for Clinton and her aides that limited their investigation.
In my 25 years with the bureau, I never had any ground rules in my interviews, said retired agent Dennis V. Hughes, the first chief of the FBIs computer investigations unit.
The list of perceived sins which have angered some of the agents is lengthy. One of the most recent (and perhaps worst) was Comeys choice to agree to destroy Cheryl Mills laptop after an investigation into its contents was severely limited. The agents also cite the number of witnesses who were offered immunity in exchange for testimony, including some who might have wound up being targets of the investigation themselves. Thats understandable in many criminal cases because youre willing to let some of the smaller fish walk if they help nail down the primary target. But as noted in the interviews, the agents were quick to point out that some of these immunized witnesses still suffered critical memory lapses when recounting the events surrounding the handling of the server.
I still find it difficult to believe that the fix was in and Comey intentionally let Clinton off the hook out of some loyalty or lack of objectivity. Perhaps Im just naive, but the man stood on a long and distinguished record of service before this all began, spanning administrations from both parties. He simply doesnt strike me as the sort of person who would sell out his integrity that cheaply. But that doesnt mean that he didnt turn tail and back off when the job looked too tough to drag across the finish line. And if some of his agents see this as damaging to the reputation of the Bureau, its hard to blame them.
Close to revolt
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha
Close to revolt
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha
LMAO!!!
Yeah , you’re right. F— em
money talks and BS walks..FBI runs away, so much for their oath.
pping
JASON CHAFFETZ
And...nothing came of how many hours of playing footsie for the camera, Chaffetz building his career preening for the camera?
Today it all becomes clear why the Committee spend a TON of our money, and "failed."
It all came full circle today. An inside job on the part of Congress, too.
Sorry, we heard about he rock hard integrity of FBI Director Comey, that he would never go along with a coverup, etc. We heard of the mass resignations of FBI agents if they had a sham investigation. I don’t know of a single resignation, do you?? And it looks like Comey can go back to a fat multimillion dollar job at Goldman, Sachs after the election. So much for phony “integrity”.
30 days away and NONE, as in ZERO, NO ONE, NADA has stepped forward to uphold their oath to the US Constitution. Not that they're alone in choosing silence and inertia over the worthy sacrifice of helping save their nation from irreversible tyranny.
"Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country" *tick...tick...tick*
Their careers are worth more than the country
Their agency is worth more than their country
This is a big nothing, there is no honor in government anymore
When they revolt publically, they willbe heroes.
Until then, they are slime.
You’re right; they serve Caesar, and gladly cash his paychecks. “Public servants” (including public employees) serve themselves alone.
Comey is CORRUPT and so are his AGENTS!!! COWARDS....CORRUPT COWARDS!!!
Easy to say if it isn't your family that might go hungry - harder to do in practice unless one is already wealthy enough to not need a job.
If they are so enraged why haven’t any of them quit yet?
FBI agents could easily find other employment.
Honest ones, anyway.
Perhaps - but in today's economy, one would be foolish to bank on their family's future by quitting a job w/o having something else already lined up.
Another apologist for fedgov corruption weighs in.
