The FBI doesn’t record much of anything. When interviewed, a second agent is in the room, “taking notes”. When the report is written, the final report, the notes are destroyed. And whatever may have been in those notes, is destroyed with them.
I’ve worked and trained with the FBI. All great guys, but the ones that I was with were the lowest guys on the totem pole. The local SWAT guys who were on things like the Gang Task Forces and worked with local cops all the time. I always thought that those guys had to sacrifice their firstborn to work those assignments. I was wrong. They would tell me that supervisors would have to beg agents to get on the street. They wanted to do the office thing. Show up, turn on their computers, check email, check Facebook, move some paper from one side of the desk to the other, go to lunch, repeat the morning process and join rush hour traffic on the way home.
It appears they have been believing their own BS for a long time and think they’re above the law. Because, at the end of the day, they are the top of the heap. There’s no one to investigate them, unless they get roped into something that the locals are handling, like what is happening in Oregon.
The whole FISA-Memo shows that they and the DoJ are interconnected. Who investigates who? Fairly? Sure, if they want to get you, they’ll get you. But, if you’re in the club, then you’ll be allowed to take terminal leave(McCabe) until you hit your retirement date a month or so, down the road and you’ll be forgotten about.
Welcome to the Soviet Union. Oh wait a minute. In the Soviet Union you expected this. Here you didn’t.
