Choose your metaphor: rats leaving a sinking ship, cockroaches scurrying away from the light, or maybe just people cutting deals to save their butts. Yesterday saw the FBI fan feculated.
The blandness of this Politico story, titled "Two more officials cited in FBI texts step down," conceals really, really big news. The jig is up. Each of the "officials" who is "stepping down" is leaving under duress and likely facing serious legal consequences for acts that have been disclosed acts that go to the heart of the fraudulent application for the Page FISA warrant and the obstruction of justice in the Hillary email probe.

Better to lose your job, lose your benefits, and lose your general way of life in order to stake out an aggressive defensive posture using the 5th.
The alternative is exposure, conviction and punishment. But, like an ship throwing out all ballast in a last ditch effort to stay afloat, in the end, they still lose everything anyway.
But at least their resignations put up a fighting effort. Still, who's to say the gun sitting in the bedside table is calling to them to take the easy way out?
CTH gets a lot of things right, but not everything...they’re wrong about Carter Page, that’s for sure.
Aww, that’s much cuter than your average Democrat.
Agreed.
Ditto here. We keep getting set up for disappointment. Most of these people should have been arrested a long time ago, especially the Clintons and those surrounding them. The rich and powerful never have to pay for their crimes. Look at Sen. Menendez. That he is still walking free and in the senate shows how far down the road the US is towards being a banana republic.
I think it’s because the first to leave get the jobs at the fake media sewers.
There’s a New Sheriff in town
Protecting their pensions.......................
I understand what you are saying. What do you do when your nuts are in a vice ?
Kortan announced his retirement, so I’m guessing he has a pension and benefits.
Laufman has been around since the 80’s and has been with DOJ since 2000, so I’m guessing he also has some kind of fed pensions & benefits.
The FBI fan “feculated”
lol...I am gonna have to remember that one...
work it into a sentence in my own situation at some point in the near future..
Their pensions should be seized because they
supported treason and child trafficking.
Time to lock them in a room with the parents.
I’ll step out on a limb and predict that there will be whole bunch get early retirement, or get transferred to another agency with a pay grade increase, and that nobody loses a job or goes to jail.
“now they can take the 5th”
And they will be bankrupted having to pay for their own Lawyers. The IG may well have enough evidence already to send them away. These are minor league cockroaches hopefully they’ll be cutting a deal to drop a dime about the Big Leaguers.
EPA is also losing people. Progress! Or as LBJ said, progerse!
Book them on Dancing With The Stars.
Dancing the Tyburn Jig.
Conservative Treehouse. You think the former produce manager in a grocery store is writing that stuff? If so, his writing and his information sources have certainly changed over the past 5 years.
God, I miss Communism. The Red threat. People were scared, the Agency had some respect, and I got laid every night.
We blow up space shuttles for breakfast. You and your friend Tommy are nothing more than... a late afternoon Triscuit. Ciao.
“Dancing the Tyburn Jig./”
Aha, one of my favorite Brit terms! Doing the devils dance on .the air.
“following the President’s orders”
It’s not a REAL scandal until 2 or 3 people blow their brains out... on a country road.
