Sadly, I suspect the corruption goes deeper and is far more pervasive than just the top echelons of the involved organizations.
Yup...I wince every time folks on our side go out of their way to say the rank and file of the FBI are fine public servants.
Sure they are.
“Sadly, I suspect the corruption goes deeper and is far more pervasive than just the top echelons of the involved organizations”
And jeopardize their six figure for life job that is guaranteed with no accountability for their performance. There are few if any Patriots in the Gov. at least at levels in the know of what went down.
Remember Obama and Clinton and their cronies in the agencies have had 16 years to promote incompetent useful idiots. And Bush/Cheney did bugger all to reverse it, and in fact had their go as well.
Once you have craven incompetent self-promoters in supervisory position in the agencies, it almost doesn't matter which party is in power. Let the games begin as the petty corruption enabled by grand corruption goes on.
I live here in the swamp. I think you will find far less that is of value and salvageable in these agencies than anyone is letting on.
I yell at the TV every time some Republican says, "But of course, when we talk about corruption, we're not talking about the rank-and-file." We're not? I am. Where are the decent men and women? Why is no one speaking up? Where are the whistle blowers? Not a PEEP from any of them. Not even a leak. I also think the corruption runs much deeper than we want to admit.
Good point the moles had 8 years to dig in deep.
