#1 So the FBI is corrupt. Who investigates the FBI?

#2 The whole govt is corrupt. Checks and balances are out the window. Congressional investigations are just Kabuki Theater. Courts are political. Look what President Trump is up against from Republicans. Where will you go for justice? The people are forgotten.

#3 Yes, AP, draining the swamp is gonna be a big, tough job and it might even be impossible. Let's hope not.

#5 In a world before it got tainted by corruption, the FBI would be answerable to the AG and the Office of Professional Responsibility within the DOJ. Congress would provide oversight. FBI investigations would be reviewed by the Judicial System during court proceedings. During recent admins., the Executive Branch has tried to do an end-around of these oversight and review systems. We have seen the executive branch perform unmasking unilaterally, spying on members of Congress, and other shenanigans. We have seen corruptible AGs. We have seen the weaponization of government agencies such as the IRS, Bureau of Land Management, the press (e.g. James Rosen) as well as other agencies used against law-abiding citizens. The Patriot Act has acted to deprive law-abiding citizens of fundamental Constitutional rights. Draining the swamp and a re-set are not going to be easy. I'm not sure where the country and its citizens go from here. Pitchforks and tar and feathers--2nd Amendment solutions? ;-)

#7 So the Non-disclosure Agreements (NdA) (IC Form 4414) people with access to classified are supposed to sign are not worth the paper they are printed on, right?
