William Hedgcock Webster (born March 6, 1924). The guy’s ga-ga.

AND let’s not forget the gun running into Mexico, and the BP agent losing his life!! The list goes on, and on, and on YEAH the FBI is such a wonderful competent organization / s

This isn’t the “Efrem Zimbalist Jr.” FBI, anymore.

[yesthatjallen]

Thanks. I knew there were others. I was hoping people would add to the list.

Ain't self reflection a bitch? I'm not so sure they know what that means inside the beltway?

It's as pure American as Apple pie, George Washington's horse, Drinking beer with Ben Franklin, and donating spare spools of thread to Betsy Ross.

Trusting the FBI has been repeatedly proven to be “not American”.

[DoodleDawg]

It is the FBI’s own fault. If the President cannot trust them then there is no reason for them to exist. Disband the FBI.

[CodeToad]

The FBI running a coup I’d not American. We need to abolish the FBI criminals.

[dfwgator]

The FBI was inspired by the establishment of The Gestapo in Nazi Germany, the concept of a National Police Force.

Free Speech and all...

[hanamizu]

it’s never been in-American to criticize the goings-on at any government agency

That’s what the 1st Amendment’s right to petition the government for redress of grievances is all about. No government agency (or employee/former employee) should set itself up being beyond criticism.

Perhaps Mr Webster could watch HBO’s ‘Chernobyl’ and see where his type of thinking is wrong.

"Hey Potts, shoot the dogs. Then shoot the pregnant lady carrying the infant. When you're done we'll torch the kids over in Waco and taunt some Fat Fu$^ named Jewell"

Now that's gold plated respect stuff of America's institutions.

Let’s add Comey’s real legacy......He made sure Martha Stewart did prison time.
