The FBI interviewed almost every terrorist who successfully struck America.
[snip]Here are 10 of Comey's biggest embarrassments at the FBI:
1. Before he bombed the Boston Marathon, the FBI interviewed Tamerlan Tsarnaev but let him go. Russia sent the Obama Administration a second warning, but the FBI opted against investigating him again.
2. Shortly after the NSA scandal exploded in 2013, the FBI was exposed conducting its own data mining on innocent Americans; the agency, Bloomberg reported, retains that material for decades (even if no wrongdoing is found).
3. The FBI had possession of emails sent by Nidal Hasan saying he wanted to kill his fellow soldiers to protect the Taliban -- but didn't intervene, leading many critics to argue the tragedy that resulted in the death of 31 Americans at Fort Hood could have been prevented.
4. During the Obama Administration, the FBI claimed that two private jets were being used primarily for counterterrorism, when in fact they were mostly being used for Eric Holder and Robert Mueller's business and personal travel.
5. When the FBI demanded Apple create a "backdoor" that would allow law enforcement agencies to unlock the cell phones of various suspects, the company refused, sparking a battle between the feds and America's biggest tech company. What makes this incident indicative of Comey's questionable management of the agency is that a) The FBI jumped the gun, as they were indeed ultimately able to crack the San Bernardino terrorist's phone, and b) Almost every other major national security figure sided with Apple (from former CIA Director General Petraeus to former CIA Director James Woolsey to former director of the NSA, General Michael Hayden), warning that such a "crack" would inevitably wind up in the wrong hands.
Lying or misrepresenting facts to the FBI is a felony regardless of whether one is under oath. That’s why Comey and the FBI never recorded their Hillary ‘interview’ nor did they even make notes - so there would be no evidence.
YOUR FBI IS **FINE** ACTING AS AN INSTRUMENT OF POLITICAL TERROR.
It started at least 20 years ago
It has been that way since J.Edgar Hoover started the Agency. He knew that controlling the narrative and the public image was more important than all else.
The early FBI murdered people without any consequences.
They just made sure their story was the one printed in the newspapers, especially the national ones.
“The most famous hideaway is Little Bohemia where public enemy No. 1 John Dillinger and his gang eluded the FBI on a bloody Sunday night, April 22, 1934.
Little has changed since the bumbled arrest attempt at the fishing lodge and restaurant on the shore of Little Star Lake, and tourists still enjoy talking with owner Emil Wanatka Jr., who was 8 years old at the time. He remembers that ill-famed night when the nervous Feds shot three innocent bar patrons. Those trigger-happy machinegun bursts alerted Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson, Homer van Meter, John Hamilton, Pat Riley, Pat Cherrington and Tommy Carroll along with four women.”
When they fled, Dillinger and the gang owed a tab of $75 for the rooms.
Good God, I had no idea about any of that, thank you.
I guarantee you I’ll remember all that..!
WOW..!
Later, they figured out just burning people out was safer.
Gordon Kahl was a Sovereign Citizen type, but the FBI burned him out at the end.
He was a deputy special counsel on the Senate Whitewater Committee.
Very interesting link, thank you!
With all the blood of Americans that Comey has on his hands, he should have been condemned to death a long time ago.
I’ll take he’s a POS for $200, BRB!
Great quote.
I became convened The FBI director was incompetent on #5.
The idiot not only jumped the gun he exposed the FBI’s weakness, and then instead of capitalizing upon the mistake allowing terrorist to think the Iphone was safe, he announced the FBI had resolved the problem with public help.
Essentially telling terrorist not only not to uses the Iphone but that the FBI really didn’t know what they were doing most of the time.
Seriously James if you want to run a criminal investigative agency you need to focus your resources on known criminal threats(IE Islamic Terrorist not Tea partners) and NEVER tell criminals about your own investigative limits. That is basically telling them how to avoid you.
I honestly thought James Comey was lying until he announced a private citizen had provided him with the answer.
#1 happened before James became FBI director.
