I agree with most of your post but the FBI brought this contempt and total lack of trust or respect upon themselves with their: unprofessional, unethical and criminal behavior where NONE of them have been punished.
Perhaps the FBI doesn't care about our respect. Perhaps the FBI is telling us something with its unethical, unprofessional, and criminal behavior (i.e., they are telling us that we are not their boss and they don't care if we don't like it).
