It’s one thing to run day to day operations at the agencies, particularly hiring and firing. It’s quite another to be the President’s guy charged with cleanup of the overall intelligence capability.
I’m betting that’s Devin Nunes.
“ and his record of executing the president’s directives suggest a loyalty to individuals rather than the rule of law — a dangerous precedent for an agency tasked with impartial enforcement of justice.””
The old fool. The president is literally the head the DOJ and their subordinate bureau, the FBI. Where the hell do they get the idea that they are independent of the president?
A president can order an investigation stated, stopped, or even conduct it himself.
And this ass was utterly silent at the rampant politicization of the FBI for the past 15 years.
Webster’s condemnation of Tulsi Gabbard is a glowing recommendation as to why she should be confirmed. Webster’s was more instrumental than anyone to consolidate the CIA/FBI power grab in the last 4 decades.
It’s not hard to get a 101 year old person to sign a letter in his name. Be nice if one of the Senators would actually MEET with Webster, to see if he even knows how his name is being used at this point.
“ Where was Webster when John Brennan was spying on Congress and lying about it?
Where was Webster when Biden signaled Garland to prosecute Trump?
Where was Webster when the FBI abused FISA 278,000 times?
Where was Webster when Obama had Trump tower bugged?
Where was Webster when Strzok and Page promised to stop Trump from being elected?”
Same place he always was. He believes the FBI and CIA are independent and SETS national policy. To hun they are beyond oversight.
In 2020, Webster, along with over 130 other former Republican national security officials, signed a statement that asserted that President Trump was unfit to serve another term
Webster is only fit to drop another runny deuce in his adult diaper, like his hero Pedo Joe Brib'em.
The really sad thing, Webster probably still has his old clearance privileges, even at age 100. Now that’s the deep state.
Watch as these CIA and FBI clowns believe they are superior to the orders of the President, and should be a sort of check and balance over the presidency.
Now reconsider JFK. They murdered him him. There is no smoking gun signed operation order somewhere. They used enough cutouts. But they clearly did it.
It’s so obvious that nothing else is even worth considering.
Living proof that appointing a judge, especially one who has never had any connection with the FBI as director is a bad idea.
That said, Louie Freeh, a former federal judge - but also a former FBI agent and AUSA - was not so bad.
Where was he? In the top floor office standing in front of a mirror, wearing a black robe, chanting “I’m a judge, I’m a judge..”
