And they won’t be solved by whining about criticism.
hat do you do with an FBI agent, sworn to uphold the law, who flagrantly violates the law in a rogue investigation aimed at making a name for himself by bringing down some high-profile targets?
Why . . . you promote him, of course.
At least that is the way the Justice Department answered that question in the case of David Chaves, an FBI agent who serially and lawlessly leaked grand-jury information, wiretap evidence, and other sensitive investigative intelligence to the media in his quest to make an insider-trading case against some celebrities. And when finally called on it, the Justice Department circled the wagons: proceeding with its tainted prosecution, referring the now-retired Chaves for an internal investigation that has gone exactly nowhere after nearly two years, and using legal maneuvers to block the courts and the public from scrutinizing the scope of the misconduct. . . .
As in the Justice Department’s stonewalling of the congressional committees pressing for answers about investigative tactics in the Russia probe, if the president does not take remedial action and demand transparency, the disreputable behavior will continue, and public faith will continue to plummet.

The problems are so serious that the FBI should be disbanded and the DOJ completely gutted and revamped.
From Sessions and Wray on down.
Serious? They’re terminal.
Waiting to see what happened after the mid terms, hoping Trump unleashes his dogs and ends these criminal empires once and for all
If Bill Buckley were still running the National Review, he would simply and bluntly state the obvious. Obama controlled the FBI, CIA, and NSA with his hack, political commissars and turned them into Soviet style corrupt agencies to do his bidding.

Just kidding, Andy if you're reading here.
You are "a little verbose".

You're right .... but by whom?

Right on.
Why are these agencies allowing this rogue lawlessness to rule?
Why?
Why is the Congress allowing this?
Why?
My heart cries for my country
What are we, really?
And now these agencies are ruining Trump associates and aiming at Trump as their ultimate trophy?
“Waiting to see what happened after the mid terms”
Too late. The coup is in its second year if we lose the house the best we get is a crippled POTUS. Trump needs to drop the hammer now. Start by firing Rosenweasel, that kneecaps Mueller.
Because a huge % of the public is disengaged from politics to the point they can’t even express a rational political philosophy. The eligible voters that have chosen not to vote, even in presidential elections, has outnumbered than any single political party for 100+ years. The FBI has 35,000 employees and a budget of almost 9 billion. Can’t see anything much happening to change the culture there.

The problems are systemic, pervasive, and have existed for several decades. It is now reached critical mass. The FBI must be disbanded at this point. It is beyond reform. At a bare minimum all intelligence functions must be removed. It maybe could still exist for bank robbers, kidnappers Etc
“If Bill Buckley were still running the National Review, he would simply and bluntly state the obvious. Obama controlled the FBI, CIA, and NSA with his hack, political commissars and turned them into Soviet style corrupt agencies to do his bidding.”
You forgot the ATF, IRS, GSA, DEA. Heck, just about all of them...
The Problems at the DoJust-US are actually serial.
It isn’t just an Obama problem. He kicked it into Overdrive and gained control of the corrupt organization. But the problem is that it’s always been corrupt and willing to interfere in politics period and conduct blackmail. Blackmailing politicians was J Edgar’s stock-in-trade.
Oops, and how could I have forgot the EPA?
Clean out every agency and department.
Before I overreact to the ongoing coup, I’ll wait for National Review’s David French to weigh in.
