We do need to fight, but we need to target the real villains using the proper tools. Only Congress has the power to reign in the Executive Branch, but it won’t happen as long as they’re all on the same team. The corruption is complete, and the entire Federal government is complicit in high crimes. If Trump wins, we may have a chance.
Having compassion for good men trapped in an evil system may make me an apologist in some minds, but I’d rather have them join a team so they can at least die in good company. There are many good people working in the system who simply have no idea how to fight back. Men require leadership. The Revolution, nay the very country, would never had succeeded had there not been a man named George Washington to lead the fight.
The real shame is that the government he founded has devolved to this current parade of charlatans. Even worse, every one of them was voted into office. There is plenty of shame to go around.
It seems to me either the corruption has to end or we need to quit pretending. Just change the name to Northern Venezuela and be done. The gummint is corrupt and so secure that Wkileaks displaying their corruption does not even rate mention in the news. Soros owns the voting machines in PA and VA and several others (I seem to recall seeing Florida on the list). The question is not will Soros try to steal the election but how much is he willing to steal it by? If he is willing to go over ten percent he may well be able to. Then what? Generals in the Pentagon arrest Zero? Citizens march on DC and start taking the gummint apart?
Gonna be interesting.
Your passion for justice is commendable, but your logic leave much to be desired.
If you want these agents to come forward, call on Congress to compel their testimony. Congress is not bound by any Executive action. They can arrest Comey, rescind NDAs, and change the law if they see fit.
Why aren’t you calling for their heads? Your GOP Congress is a criminal enterprise. None of the elite are worried about prosecution. Only the little guys are prosecuted.
“The people are crying for blood! Let’s hang a few more little people!”
Let yourself be sated on the blood of innocents or inconsequentials; I call for those in power.
Not wanting to, I have to agree with you
We are all complicit.
We continue to vote into office people who we expect to be corrupt and grow the federal government (bring home the bacon) and who we have evidence they collude with others to undermine our country (side with religious terrorists in the MENA is one example). These people are all over Congress. Scant few there who will stand up and say anything about it. And those that do don’t get much support here or in general.
Trump cannot change all that alone, even if he is the best hope we have. But really the best hope we have resides within ourselves.
Thank you. God bless you.
“CIA is the one I really don’t get. Her “extreme carelessness” put the lives of in-country officers and assets at risk, and they seem to really not care about that at all.”
And, they can’t know the extent of the risk in those emails...and when they might drop...and if they all might drop at once putting them in an impossible position. Thier people are potential facing arrest, beatings, torture, assassinations, show trials, and foreign prison time.
At a minimum I want to see a signed letter of No Confidence in the director. They need to go on recorded and make the case that the director needs to go if they want to retain any credibility going forward.
He has shown he has no loyalty to the FBI, agents and attorneys should show the same to him.
Your smarminess is as oily as your excuse making for corruption.

Repent and live!
You know, Ken, I just looked through your posts—many share an acerbic vitriol toward individuals. I didn’t see one suggestion on how to address any issues-just as you’ve never addressed one issue that I’ve raised.
Ad-hominem is often the last resort in a debate, but you’ve never presented one argument. I am concerned with how to win a war in a compromised environment. I really don’t care about lynching some peasants who live near the castle.
Sorry, but Congress is the issue. Enjoy your pillaging.
Unnamed sources?...wow how brave....not
I think he did what the higher ups wanted to keep his job.
The higher ups like the Kennedys or LBJ’s with their historical squads of sympathizers have tried to rewrite history to make J. Edgar Hoover more sinister and an instigator of bad stuff who blackmailed the presidents.
The Left took a beating from the FBI spying operation and their revenge ironically was to brand him as a gay man.
The same Left that will claim to be on the side of gay people nowadays.
J Edgar was probably in office way past his shelf date.
I think on the whole he did more good then harm. I lot of people forget that he was very opposed to the FDR executive order putting Japanese-Americans in camps. He viewed them as no threat. WW2 FBI CI was pretty effective as was FBI CI during his tenure in the Cold War. Knocks against him in WW2 was primarily over his failure to understand the difference between law enforcement and intelligence gathering. As well as bureaucratic fighting with OSS & the military intelligence services but somehow after much gnashing of teeth it all worked. Whether he was gay or not is still open to question. There is no unimpeachable sources for it. All who claim have only their word and an axe to grind. The strongest evidence is that he never married and co-owned a DC townhouse with his FBI No 2. At the time the view would have been two dedicated public servants married to their jobs. I think he was nonsexual or asexual. These people do exist!

I suspect that by now all of the senior people in the FBI have been corrupted, and that the corruption is still working its way down through the ranks. But, there must still be some old-timers there who feel badly about what the outfit has become... but it's not looking very promising.
