From Roger Simon:
When FBI Director James Comey first let Hilary Clinton off the legal hook, I gave him a reluctant pass. I thought his dressing down of Clinton for being extremely negligent in the handling of national security material, while not indicting her, was vaguely Solomonic, even if I wished it weren't.
Boy, was I wrong! I am frankly embarrassed.
The revelations from the FBI interview with Clinton that were shamelessly slipped under the door like a throwaway paper in a cheap motel over Labor Day weekend made me think this:
If were I an FBI agent, I would despise James Comey. He has humiliated the FBI and all its employees. The institution will never be the same, at least not for decades to come.
The FBI is no longer an instrument of justice. It is the reverse. It is an obfuscater of justice and an enabler of the rich and powerful. How depressing and disgusting.
God help our republic.
Exaggerated? Not in the slightest.
Consider this:
Hillary Clinton, who had told us she had one cellphone, turned out to have had thirteen such phones and five iPads, all of which have mysteriously disappeared, two having been smashed by hammers -- this, although the information on all of them was legally government property. Was she arrested for this or even cited? Did the FBI even ask why she did this or why she had so many phones? Some wag on television said she must have been a crack dealer.
FBI Director Comey's Remarks Were Devastating to Hillary More importantly, did the FBI even ask her the most obvious of questions: why in the world did she put ALL her government emails on a private home-brew server (and then have them deleted with the most advanced data eradication software available -- five stars on CNET -- two days after these emails came under subpoena)? Was that because the equally obvious answer -- to avoid any possible public scrutiny of her actions (for a variety of suspicious reasons) -- is itself felonious?GO READ THE WHOLE THING.

OK, so how many career agents tendered their resignations? None? I can only conclude that "this institution" really doesn't give a shit.
The organization is compromised. There has been a political breach of an organization which should be apolitical in their dealings with crime. We need individuals and people who are not owned by the government but owned by "We the People".
When the investigative branch is corrupted it does not bode well for the State of our Union.
So I am not sure why individuals are up in arms about Trump wishing to chart a new course with Putin.
Between the IRS scandal and now the Comey corruption it seems we are running on a Kremlinian model of governance against - and not for - The People.
Anonymous,
I agree with you.
They are all Pension-Swilling Union Orcs.
They don't work in honor of the Constitution and the Law. They work for their pension.
This is how their leaders get absolute cooperation, no matter what happens.
My "explanation": the Clinton Political Machine. Its tentacles are everywhere!
