Move On, nothing to see here. You conservatives get back in line.

The only way that nutcake Ruddy would know about a "Coup D' tat at the FBI" is if he were a part of it. And, I wouldn't put it past him.

[packrat01]

If a "good cop" knows of a "bad cop", and does nothing; how can he/she be a "good cop"?

I've asked the question before. No good answers then, either.

[edger]

Regarding your accusations of "nutcake Ruddy," would you like to send a little evidence along with that?

[sandydipper]

I have no confidence in the F&BI, the CIA, the DEA, the ATF, the NSA nor the littany of other Federal Bureaus. They are all staffed by payday seekers who have no other goal in life than to retire. You want justice? bring your own gun.

The FBI became the keystone kops under the Clinton admin. and they will remain the keystone kops untill someone cleans them out from top to bottom. Mr. Robt. Mueller is not that person, he will continue the keystone kop attitude.

BTTT

[wheezer]

He spent eight years playing a Mutt-and-Jeff routine with the Clintons, bad-mouthing them all over town to keep credibility with the Republicans, but acquiescing to their every wish at the bureau.

Yup...Freeh sure played the GOP like a bunch of dopes.

For the life of me I'll never understand how after personally delivering the FBI files to the WH basement, the GOP did not go on a crusade to ruin Freeh.

"For the life of me I'll never understand how after personally delivering the FBI files to the WH basement, the GOP did not go on a crusade to ruin Freeh."

My belief is it is because the FBI files had all the dirt on all potential GOP enemies and the Clinton Criminal Enterprise used all this information to blackmail them.

And, remember that the first official Clinton act, was to fire all 50 states Attornies General, to totally neuter any actions bubbling up from the states. Pre-meditated tampering!

Huh? California's Attorney General is elected by the citizens of the state and cannot be fired by the President of the United States. I expect that the same holds true for most of the other states as well.

[ninonitti]

I think he means US Attorneys.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

CNBC just had a teaser on for the Wall Street Journal Editorial Board segment on CNBC, calling for Mueller's resignation. Don't know what that is all about!

The US Attorneys are a political appointment, included in the 'Plum Book' of 'policy and supporting positions.'

Yes, other presidents have kept on a few attorneys from the prior administration, but there is nothing necessarily sinister about their replacement. If we don't want presidents to fire them then we need to change the rules and make them civil service appointments.

I don't agree with Ruddy's assessment
I think clinton expected Freeh to play ball with him
but someone who worked with Ken Starr said the DOJ did nothing to help Ken Starr in its investigation of slickwilly
but Louis Freeh had the whole FBI help him
I think slickwilly hated Louis Freeh
and Freeh stayed on as Director till day Bush was in Office, cause he knew how dangerous it would be to resign and let slickwilly appoint piece of corruption to that job
I know no one else sees it like this, but I do

[palo verde]

slickwilly guessed right when he made Bill Cohen Secretary of Defense (a Republican)
that Bill Cohen would be consummate yesman
Bill Cohen carried out whatever slickwilly wanted
(including closing the Bases to voting before the election, so servicemen would find it very difficult to vote for Bush)
slickwilly must have thought Freeh would be consummate yesman too
but he wasn't

[dixiechick2000]

Bump for later...

[F16Fighter]

"I'll never understand how after personally delivering the FBI files to the WH basement, the GOP did not go on a crusade to ruin Freeh."

Nevermind Freeh. Klinton was the one who illegally ordered them and used them without a peep from the GOP.

For me, that single abuse of power and law without any challenge proved to me the total corruption right down to the core of not only the Democrats, but of the GOP.

1) No one achieves positions of power in this country without conducting business using the currency of corruption.

2) Everyone who seeks power completely understands that there are implicit boundaries on its exercise, encroaching on those boundaries will get you destroyed by the media, or by a corrupt application of law, or if need be, outright assassination.

3) Most every one of our reasonably large institutions of government are corrupt on a systemic level this way, all the way down to the municipalities.

4) Supporting criminal organizations is immoral, reguardless of the fact they have a flag on the wall and threaten to harm you if you do not.

5) The Federal government itself has recognized in its own report that their "Emergency powers, taken in toto, amount to an extra-Constitutional form of government" (ad lib quote). This literally amounts to an admission of illegality and subversion.

6) "Reform" in such circumstances, history shows, never comes from a voting booth.

7) Most likely, the real reason there is no public outcry (from the faction who are not sheep) is we are afraid of what the answer will be (given we would be a minority), and will be left with the option provided by Amendment number two.
