Rep. Francis Rooney (R-Fla.) on Tuesday called for a "purge" of the FBI.
During an interview on MSNBC, Rooney said he thinks the American people have "very high standards" for the country's government agencies.
He was pressed during the interview on whether he is trying to discredit the Department of Justice, and thus discredit the investigation into Russian election interference.
"I don't want to discredit them. I would like to see the directors of those agencies purge it," he said.

Silence from ‘decent folks in the trenches’ makes them willing accomplices.
Hopefully, “purge” includes resurrection of the guillotine for some of these slimeballs.
What a collection of corruption, sleaze, incompetence, and liberals (but I repeat myself).
And it gives time for nearby licensed concession operators to sell beer to people waiting in line to spit (or whatever) on the carcasses.
Mr. Wray doesn’t want to appear to have buckled under pressure from Mr. Trump or Republicans
... while appearing to have buckled under pressure from the Democrat Party, the GOPe and other Deep State members and associates.
Chris Wray is another who thinks that the FBI and the DOJ should show independence from the chief executive. The above is a case in point.
Here's another example...
At the very least, because the chief executive says so.
“What would be the grounds for being purged?”
Distrust of the FBI to properly do their jobs.
The Deep State is ....
....
DEEP.
Not just purge but also prosecute or it will keep happening. You know, like a criminal politician who gets caught and then resigns with no cost of any legal consequences. There has to be a deterrent other than just losing their jobs, like hard time in jail.
Treason is the only crime defined in the U.S. Constitution. Specifically, the charge is adhering to or giving comfort to the enemies of the United States. It can be proven if the accused admits to it in open court or on the testimony of two eyewitnesses.

Sorry, what I meant was what decides who gets purged and who doesn't? Not who decides the purge; I would assume that lies within the President's power to determine.
What decides who gets purged and who doesn't?
“What decides who gets purged and who doesn’t?”
I would say Sessions since they work for him. I would remove the top two layers of management.
Article 1, section 6
6: To provide for the Punishment of counterfeiting the Securities and current Coin of the United States;
Article 1, section 10
10: To define and punish Piracies and Felonies committed on the high Seas, and Offences against the Law of Nations;
Sure looks like Crimes Defined in the US Constitution to me.
Clean up the gestapo FBI, Trump. Give the command to the 2ndMarDiv to arrest these traitorous snakes and hand them over to a military court on charges of sedition.
I think the whole purpose of this article is to get the word “purge” into the title. That is an extremely loaded term with so much deadly baggage that I would never use it to describe what needs to happen with the FBI. This congressman was a flaming idiot to use it. The hill jumped right on it.
I’m surprised to see so many freepers using it as if it were a proper term for what needs to happen. An overhaul, reform, or maybe even cleaning out, with a wink and a nod. Don’t freepers know about the purges in the Soviet Union????
I suppose you have no compunction about speaking up about anything even if it will get you fired.....right?
All these oh-so-altruistic folks here - one would think that more of them would
but they're better at pointing out how others ain't as remarkable as them...
If I swore an oath and then remained silent in the face of corruption, then I would be an accomplice. I would also consider myself a coward, not to mention a whore for taking other people’s money and compromising my honor.
Public Service Announcement:
For any who haven't yet responded to the latest FReepathon:
and take positive action instead of letting others carry the whole load. It's the "principled" thing to do.....
