Resignation letters piling up from disaffected FBI agents [trunc]
Daily Mail UK ^ | 2016-10-30 | Ed Klein

James Comey's decision to revive the investigation of Hillary Clinton's email server and her handling of classified material came after he could no longer resist mounting pressure by mutinous agents in the FBI, including some of his top deputies, according to a source close to the embattled FBI director.

'The atmosphere at the FBI has been toxic ever since Jim announced last July that he wouldn't recommend an indictment against Hillary,' said the source, a close friend who has known Comey for nearly two decades, shares family outings with him, and accompanies him to Catholic mass every week.

'Some people, including department heads, stopped talking to Jim, and even ignored his greetings when they passed him in the hall,' said the source. 'They felt that he betrayed them and brought disgrace on the bureau by letting Hillary off with a slap on the wrist.'

According to the source, Comey fretted over the problem for months and discussed it at great length with his wife, Patrice.

He told his wife that he was depressed by the stack of resignation letters piling up on his desk from disaffected agents. The letters reminded him every day that morale in the FBI had hit rock bottom.

[...]

'The people he trusts the most have been the angriest at him,' the source continued. 'And that includes his wife, Pat. She kept urging him to admit that he had been wrong when he refused to press charges against the former secretary of state.

It’s over for Hellary’s presidential run. She’ll hold out to the very bitter end hoping for someone like Soros to save her though massive voter fraud. It’s always been that way for her that she skates away, but this time, I don’t think so.

Hell and Huma are toast.

The cooperating Weiner Weiner turning over as state’s evidence looking for a deal to lessen his punishment.

I think he’s “done” myself. He may hang on to the end of the year but he’s lost his integrity in such a big way, I don’t think it’s coming back in his lifetime.

This comey creep is bought and paid for. Anything he does is merely an attempt to save his worthless neck. The criminal compromised bum should be arrested and charged. What a “bad cop” loser and a malignancy on good law enforcement everywhere.

Every FBI agent involved at all in the Clinton investigation was required to sign an agreement not to speak publicly about it, under penalty of law

Per explicit statute such agreements do not negate whistle-blower protection afforded to federal employees.

Laughable. People with no conscience have no conscience load to worry about.

IMHO, this is Klien angling for an interview with director comedy.

That’s another whitewash tactic. We all know she’ll do nothing with it.

If he hands the recommendation to Preet Bhrara on the other hand....

But it ain’t gonna happen. This political whore will delay and obfuscate all the way.

That agreement doesn’t hold water if it involves a criminal coverup.

His wife seems to have been threatening to cut him off. Is THAT a good enough reason?

He’s probably using this to angle for an interview.

Geez, might as well give the guy's name.

If ever there was a moment when a man should have listened to his wife, that would be it.

Listen to your wife, Comey. Do what she says, and restore your honor.

“The media will simply get too overwhelmed over the next 10 days.”

Agree. The avalanche of scandalous material coming our way will be bigger and more damaging than even the leftmedia can handle.

Given that they’re a wholly owned subsidiary of the Democrat party anyway, many of them will be criminally implicated by the release of Hillary’s emails.

“Mutinous”??? Screw that, I’d say they’re Patriots.

Thank God there’s SOME left in high places.

Anyone with half a brain already doesnt do any of that. But that doesnt fix the problem of their lies to the ignorant part of the population.
