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.

In today’s other news, water is wet.
Last time I went to a baseball game, it shot a hole through 200 bucks.
I thought the FBI was suppose to remain impartial? I know others in somewhat similar fields that are held to a much higher standard.
Oh Noes! Trump is gonna expose the inside BS?

Excuse me, but up until a few days ago I had no idea the FBI were taking bribes and gifts. I find it extremely disturbing.
and I can’t get a tube of tooth paste approved on per diem LOL

Legally they are prohibited from accepting anything of substantial value.
So I understand. See #3.
It’s happened before:

Maybe Lois Lerner can check into it?
Oh. Wait.....
Of course. Btw, what’s been revealed about the FBI in the past 2 years or so, my first thought at the top link was those were probably internal political hits, on targeted personnel.
It’s not a bribe if they give them to their spouses. You know, like 3/4 of a million bucks for a little assembly race?
