GOP lawmaker calls for ‘purge’ of FBI

The Hill ^ | December 26, 2017 | Josh Delk

[Jim Noble]

Chris, the issue is not the FBI.

The issue is, who gave the orders?

[Jim Noble]

Treason, counterfeiting - what’s the third?

[eyeamok]

Piracy

[Ken H]

Do you think the guys in the trenches who remain silent deserve to be called patriots?

[chris37]

The issue is the FBI, because someone also followed those orders.

The agency conspired to and did abuse its power.

Harsh lessons need to be taught.

I’m not going to tolerate corruption.

[trebb]

Gonna gnaw at all the edges aren't you?

More salient question is, would you definitely give up your career/income to blow the whistle, especially knowing how the deck was stacked against you by the bureaucracy? If not, the rest of what you think is irrelevant.

Not having an FBI is better than a politicized corrupt FBI. In this case nothing is better than something.

[central_va]

The President.

[Ken H]

It’s a stupid question you asked, because a person never knows what he will do in a tough situation until he’s in it. As I said before, if I remained silent after taking an oath, then I would deserve shame and scorn, as would anyone who tried to excuse my silence.
