The investigation goes back to late June 2021, when AFL submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request to the DOJ.

FOIA has really come back to bite Democrats in the behind. Many of them must privately wonder why they opened that can of worms.

Who hired Craig Livingston and was he fired after bringing the 900 FBI files on political opponents to Bill and Hilary at the Whitehouse? What’s old Craig up to these days?

Sandy Burglar probably had something to do with it. He could fit a whole library in them drawers.

How would we know about any of this without Trump’s ascendancy?

Disband it, fire everyone, and raze all its buildings and facilities to the ground.

Back to journalism school Wendi! The following in brackets should be redacted.

A new lawsuit [suggests?] that the bureau has not [exactly] been respectful of political appointees’ privacy. The FBI’s background investigation (B.I.) process for political nominees has [allegedly] been corrupted with “improper handling” of sensitive information, according to an investigation by America First Legal (AFL).

There are a number of Senate committees that need a total houscleaning of their staff, and if we get the right GOP Senate leader they should be encouraged to demand it. Then that GOP leader needs to have a staff that investigates the nominees to those committee staff positions and vetoes those that should be excluded even from choices allowed by the Dims.

Much of the perfidy from Congress comes from the congressional staffs as much as Congress itself.

Abolish the FBI. It apparently has become the crime syndicate they first were charged with destroying. The United States does not need a STASI.

You don’t see this reported much but I think most people realize that almost all federal agencies and DoD are going through people’s social media and if they get a hint of Trump support they kick that applicant to the curb.

Trump really needs to fumigate the Homeland “Security”, the FBI and the Border Patrol if he intends to protect America’s borders from invasion.

I wish I knew... but on the bright side, she finally has a wooden stake through her heart 😁

That is one for the history books!
