11. FBI’s Insulting Response: FBI Director Christopher Wray gave a press conference in front of a compliant press corps where he said, “nothing in this report impugns the integrity of our workforce as a whole or the FBI as an institution.” In fact, the report paints a picture of an FBI with a problematic culture.

Isn’t that comforting? That the lawyers that we rely on to keep this country safe are scared of other lawyers. I’m so proud of my government agency that hires kittens to fight lions.

So effin’ pathetic.

James Comey was the only one in America who didn’t know Anthony Weiner was married to Huma Abedin

Some of their dirt was gathered from willing participants. Others, who realized, too late, that they were in over their heads.

Very much like doing business with the mob. Once involved they got you by the you-know-whats.

None of this is surprising from an organization set up by Himmler’s penpal.

From DB Daily Update:
...what this report does a great job of is setting the stage for the next report, which will be the climax of Horowitz’s work. It’s like Act I of a three act play.

Here is the scene it sets:

All of this and no doubt much more is clearly laid out in this Horowitz report. There will be much more revealed as everyone has a chance to comb through it over the next 24 hours.

God bless you sir.

Seriously, Wray did a great job yesterday. Before this is over, they will call for the dismantling of the FBI. Had Wray rolled over on the FBI, everybody would have said, “This is what Trump’s hand-picked boy could be expected to say.”

Correct, but I think they’re worse than the mob, by a mile.

Most Americans will only know what the MSM tells them....”No Bias”.


Used to be true. Not any more.

We are getting to a plurality of people getting their information from several sources.

When he talks the extent and effect of Obama’s plot to subvert the American democracy will be revealed.

The sun will come up in the West before he rats out the Deep State. Why would he he faces absolutely no threat of prosecution nor does anyone else in that traitorous group.

Trump stills refuses to order Justice or FBI to respond to Congressional requests for documents. Why?????

Little to no confidence in Wray and yesterday’s press conference didn’t help. He’s making a classic supervisor mistake .... requiring ALL agents to go through the crap training rather than addressing directly & punishing those who are responsible for what happened (this really pisses off those employees who are innocent & shows the supervisor is weak). A lot of the corrupt employees have left the FBI, but they should be identified (not this Agent 1, Agent 2 crap - Nunes said if they’re not undercover, the names should be public) & prosecuted if they committed crimes. Those still in the FBI should pay the price for their crimes/lack of compliance with policies/procedures, etc. Those that LEAKED and/or accepted bribes (and plenty of them did), should, at a minimum, be fired. Anyone exhibiting extreme anti-Trump bias in their communications should be fired as well. Bias is utterly corrosive in the justice system.

The FBI will flounder along under Wray - he looks good in front of a camera, but his words are just that ... words, not swift, definitive action & justice that the American people are looking for to deal with the corruption in the FBI.

Much more dangerous because of the power they held/hold.

12. Comey had his own private email. (Which obviously biased him from faulting Hillary’s illegal email.)

The only way to get rid of many entrenched Bush League Republicans is to vote Democrat, which is a bridge too far for many.

Ryan and Mitch are good examples.

re> The FBI in 2016 was a place in which Horowitz documents “numerous FBI employees, at all levels of the organization” – including some senior ones – accepting bribes against agency policy from multiple news media outlets. Meals, golf outings, sports tickets, you name it, these people were getting it from their favored leak recipients.

Which media? And who are these corrupt agents? We need names.
