FBI Increasingly Politiiczed under Comey and Mueller
2017-12-06
[Free Beacon] The Federal Bureau of Investigation, once America's storied crime fighting agency, is under fire for an increasing leftward politicization blamed on recent liberal directors and a bureaucracy operating with nearly unchecked power.

Once a bastion of conservative anti-communism under long-time director J. Edgar Hoover, the FBI has become one of the more liberal political agencies of government, and some critics say appears increasingly to operate outside normal constitutional controls.

The shift is the result of a bureaucratic culture that emerged in the 1990s and was fueled by its two most recent former directors, James Comey and Robert Mueller, who ran the agency for the past 16 years. Mueller headed the FBI from 2001 to 2013, when Comey took over and served until he was fired by Trump in May.

Both former directors currently are at the center of a fierce political debate over the FBI's competency and integrity.

Why even act?

Such a smug salamander.

#5  Where's that master of the obvious pic? Rank and file seem to be O.K.; corrupt at the top. Don't know much about Wray at this point. I blame this on Obummer and Hildabeest.

#2  Something tells me the 'politicization' goes a bit further back

Yea, but before Comey and Mueller they've bothered to pretend.

#1  Something tells me the 'politicization' goes a bit further back, but I'll settle for Comey and Mueller.
