Harassed and threatened.
They are showing their weakness and fear knowing the democrats own them.
J. Edgar Hoover used to own whoever was in power. He’d collect dirt on them, and then give them orders, whether Dem or Republican. That was corrupt. Being owned by the Dems, however, is a far lower grade of corruption. Welcome to rock bottom, G men. If you don’t like it, do what Gray did, quit and go public. If four people even sing the refrain of Alice’s Restaurant at the local draft board, it’s a movement. If so much as four G Men sing about the rotten state of the agency, you all become what you probably wanted to be as young men when you joined up: heroes. Be true to your younger selves, any of you monitoring this board. Be heroes. Turn in your badges and start singing.
The problem is Comey, his cabal pulled so many yes men g men that were unworthy after the mess at Waco and 911 into leadership. The mess that the Richmond VA and Broward County Florida people that were installed within the DOJ/FBI caused within the org is insanely bad. The war on terror had very little for the FBI field offices to do and the Boston FBI office was the cause of 50% of southie mob leadership murder in the 90 and 00s. The FBI has no focus, it really isnt set up to deal with identity thieves out of pakistan and russian used car shipment check scams on ebay. They have no role in corprate crime until it is discovered, SEC and IRS defend their turf because the FBI is where complex cases go to die now that they are not all repressed morman boys.
The Detroit field office went to fiction writing to remain relevant. The chicago office seems unable to work the cook county courts and political circles without the irishman lawyer. The work with the SDNY has been counter productive for at least 2 decades.
