"This is an entirely incompetent organization where agents can't even sneeze without direction from Washington."
"We need to renovate this agency from the top to the bottom"
The FBI is not loaded from top to bottom with incompetent, lazy, nor unintelligent people. It's a mistake to accept that as anywhere near the truth. Their entire careers are built around being suspicious and intelligent. They function with two primary guidelines ----- "Will there be any Risk to me or my career?" and "How can I benefit from this?"
All of the supposed incompetence is a ruse to achieve one of the above. The guidance they're given from up the food chain falls into those two guidelines.
Take one supposed "hero" FBI agent we're all familiar with. He wrote a book about a Democratic White House that is very assuredly accurate in depicting total chaos and criminality in the West Wing. But this is the same period when the same FBI turned over detailed records on an actually unknown number of people. The same agency that ran interference for the cover-up of Foster's murder.
This could continue, but you get the idea, I'm sure. They're NOT incompetent, They're Corrupt!
BTW, Good Posting.
One simple test of loyalty or compentence could be - that all agents that can NOT bring an indictable and convictable case against someone in the Clinton Administation or major media spokesperson, gets FIRED.
Works for me!
