Up until a few years ago, the FBI used to be a studiously non-political organization. Now they're the willing storm troopers of every instance of legal overreach instituted by Democrats in search of political enemies to punish, draconianly, of course. This is and should be illegal.
To the extent that they have been caught in legal malfeasance, particularly of the politicized kind, they've walked away with slaps on the wrist if not complete impunity. Start with McCabe himself, who got fired for leaking to the press, which he knew he was not supposed to do, but did anyway. His subsequent lawsuit restored his full pension and he's now living high on the hog. Who says crime doesn't pay?
Garland was asked about restoring McCabe’s pension. The lame excuse he gave was that it was going to cost the DOJ more to fight the case in court than the pension was worth. Also the 2 FBI lovebirds just reached some sort of financial settlement for having their text messages exposed.
No one is above the law. That’s what they said, right?
Former FBI deputy chief McCabe says FBI agents are scared of going to jail if Trump is elected
Why would they be afraid?
Did they do something wrong?
They should probably move to a country where they will be safe from extradition ....
They should have refrained from doing illegal and immoral things.
They *NEED* to go to prison. They are bad people who were not faithful to their duty to serve the nation.
Only those in his circle of buddies.
Then it’s time to give witness testimony.
Great article. Of course, trump is saying he won’t seek vengeance, but he should and i think he will.
I would hate to be the DOJ Communications Director trying to drum up sympathy for FBI Agents.
Stop doing illegal s#it.
hey
we committed crimes going after the political opposition
but you cannot prosecute us
that would be political
There are no innocent FBI agents. They knew what they did was wrong.
These are college-educated people who are trained in the law and civil rights. They CHOSE to break the law and violate constitutional rights.
They had a legal DUTY to refuse to break the law and resign rather than violate the law.
None should be allowed to flee the United States and should be chased to the ends of the Earth and extradited to stand trial in U.S. federal court if they flee.
They are lawless thugs who ALL need to be behind bars in a federal prison.
THEY THOUGHT THIS WAS SOME KIND OF FUN GAME THEY COULD PLAY !
They should be.
FLA Rep Ana Paulina Luna (R) is drawing up Articles of Inherent Contempt to use against Garland so Congress can lock him up themselves for a bit for not obeying the subpoena for the FJB tapes. Whether RINO’s will scuttle this remains to be seen. Finally, someone with an (R) has some gonads
“Up until a few years ago, the FBI used to be a studiously non-political organization.”
Actually, the left-wing politicization started some time ago. I attended an official talk several years ago by an FBI agent about domestic terrorism. Not too long after 911.
All he talked about was white supremacists. Even in question and answer, he would not talk about or admit that Muslim terrorists existed.
All that has happened in recent years is that we started noticing the hard-left politization of the FBI.
“… Up until a few years ago, the FBI used to be a studiously non-political organization.…”
That has never been true.
“Yellow streak running: Former FBI deputy chief McCabe says FBI agents are scared of going to jail if Trump is elected”
When I was in the military service members behaved for the most part because nobody wanted to go to the brig. And nobody wanted to go to Leavenworth or some other long-term arrangement.
So what’s the difference?
You tow the line, you keep your nose clean, you do your job, and you don’t circumvent your authoritative documents one being the Constitution, and Lawful orders.
If they did nothing wrong then they have nothing to worry about.
Isn’t that what they always tell us?
Simple remedy: testify against your crooked superiors.
