'The FBI is Trumpland': anti-Clinton atmosphere spurred leaks, sources say
2016-11-04
[THEGUARDIAN] Deep antipathy to Hillary Clinton
... sometimes described as America's Blond Eminence and at other times as Mrs. Bill, never as Another James Baker ...
exists within the FBI, multiple bureau sources have told the Guardian, spurring a rapid series of leaks damaging to her campaign just days before the election.
Wonder why -- perhaps it's because the field agents have talked with the Service Service guys, the White House cleaning staff, the travel agency staff, and the Arkansas troopers, and understand what Hillary thinks of them?
Current and former FBI officials, none of whom were willing or cleared to speak on the record, have described a chaotic internal climate that resulted from outrage over director James Comey’s July decision not to recommend an indictment over Clinton’s maintenance of a private email server on which classified information transited.

"The FBI is Trumpland," said one current agent.

This atmosphere raises major questions about how Comey and the bureau he is slated to run for the next seven years can work with Clinton should she win the White House.

The currently serving FBI agent said Clinton is "the antichrist personified to a large swath of FBI personnel," and that "the reason why they’re leaking is they’re pro-Trump."
Alternately, they're disgusted that a prominent politician and presidential candidate views herself as above the law, and is promoted that way by the media...
The agent called the bureau "Trumplandia", with some colleagues openly discussing voting for a GOP nominee who has garnered unprecedented condemnation from the party’s national security wing and who has pledged to jail Clinton if elected.

#4  It's like Giuliani said. These people are sworn to uphold the law. They are law enforcement types of people and not the slimy political hacks that you find elsewhere in government.

#3  Too many straight white males who've seen too many AA and diversity idiots and incompetents put in positions of responsibility. Loyalty is a two way street.

#2  They could be rabid Trumperoos, OR maybe they are just invested in that old-fashioned rule of law thingie.

#1  The old joke is there are 2 things you will never find in the FBI:
1. Communists
2. Republicans

draw what conclusions you will.
