Evidence suggests a massive scandal is brewing at the FBI
2018-01-24
[NY Post] During the financial crisis, the federal government bailed out banks it declared "too big to fail." Fearing their bankruptcy might trigger economic Armageddon, the feds propped them up with taxpayer cash.

Something similar is happening now at the FBI, with the Washington wagons circling the agency to protect it from charges of corruption. This time, the appropriate tag line is "too big to believe."

Yet each day brings credible reports suggesting there is a massive scandal involving the top ranks of America’s premier law enforcement agency. The reports, which feature talk among agents of a "secret society" and suddenly missing text messages, point to the existence both of a cabal dedicated to defeating Donald Trump in 2016 and of a plan to let Hillary Clinton skate free in the classified email probe.

If either one is true ‐ and I believe both probably are ‐ it would mean FBI leaders betrayed the nation by abusing their powers in a bid to pick the president.
Emphasis added.

#14  SO I JUST HAD AN INTERESTING EMAIL EXCHANGE WITH THE SPECIAL COUNSEL’S PRESS OFFICE

Starts with, "I’m hearing from a source that Lisa Page was involved in approving Peter Strzok’s warrant requests to the FISC and possibly elsewhere. Can you confirm or deny if this was the case? And please tell me what her job title and function are in your office. Thanks."

Ends with, "I’ll decline to comment further."

#11  The most disturbing thing about this is it's TOTAL lack of coverage in the news.

#10  JohnQC, nobody liked Hillary but many did like Obama and as soon as he started accepting emails from her private server without making a fuss he became enrolled in the scandal which is what ensured Hillary would walk.

#8  Their crime labs been faking evidence for 20 years - including in capital cases. They been letting Jihadis run free. They hassle, and even kill, law abiding citizens. They can put you in jail for "lying" to FBI. And you wonder why they feel they can get away with anything?

#7  No one particularly liked Hillary. They didn't like her when she was first lady and they didn't like her as SOS. She is rude, mean-spirited and foul-mouthed. You don't want to cross her.

Given the above, why did so many people in the higher-ups of the FBI, as well as others, hook their wagon to her star? Was it all about money and power?

#6  DOJ should send in the US Marshals to FBI 7th floor and confiscate everything nailed down or otherwise.

It doesn't take a genius to file charges of obvious obstruction of justice. Wray include. But that would require a living brain. Something I'm afraid Season's lost 12 months ago.

#5  OPM let those appointees burrow down for a reason.

Obama had it figured that with Trump out of the way and Clinton tainted, after impeachment, one of the dem sycophants would offer up a motion to have Zero reinstalled as president.

#3  Too bad public hangings are not de rigueur for the cabal.

It is very sad that while our military was fighting wars abroad, enenmies were gnawing away at home.
