CNN and MSNBC buried the inspector general report’s revelation that a number of FBI agents were receiving unauthorized free handouts, such as dinners and tickets, from reporters.

That thing is worth some bucks, my friend sold his Orange Crush version of it a few years ago, my black one, don’t remember what it was called, is 50 long years ago gone.
Shameful. Like Rush, not referring them to the media anymore.
#1 Primer law enforcement agency in the United States?
Bribery. Put the NYT on trial.
Why don’t we have names, both agents and reporters? Why are they protected? National security?

LOL
Open an independent council investigation on DNC/FBI collusion to deceive the US voters.
How many times does this occur? Every day? Every week? Or are we supposed to believe this is just a one time shot at the freebies?
I'm thinking the FBI guy doing drunken back flips in the bar recently, shooting a patron in the process...Was that a "Freebie" night?

Dirty cops.
Are these FBI agents who are on the take, part of that tiny percentage of corrupt FBI agents??
So wait, reporters aren’t reporting that reporters were paying off fbi leakers. What are they teaching journalists in our fine leftist controlled institutions?
Indiscretions by liberals are held to a different standard. A much lower one. They are so special. A Conservative gets his door kicked in for less.
