Pisses me off when he says this. Where are the 99% of these good guys when all this dirty crap was going down? Where are the 99% of these good agents who filed whistle blower complaints about abuse of power and criminal behavior?
These 99% remind me of the guards at the Nuremberg Trials after WWII. They bleated, I was just following orders and doing my job. That excuse didn’t work then and it shouldn’t work now.
I could not convict ANYONE on evidence or testimony from any FBI agent at this point. Their behavior has planted a reasonable doubt in my mind. If they will lie repeatedly to a FISA court judge, why wouldn’t they lie to a federal jury in Lexington KY, or Topeka KS? If I were a defense attorney I would bring these lies into every trial I possibly could with the DOJ/FBI.
For a long time some people have claimed that the FBI was involved in the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. I used to dismiss that as wild conspiracy thinking. Any more, I don’t know. It seems that the FBI is capable of anything.
