The FBI Is in Crisis. It's Worse Than You Think

In normal times, the televisions are humming at the FBI’s 56 field offices nationwide, piping in the latest news as agents work their investigations. But these days, some agents say, the TVs are often off to avoid the crush of bad stories about the FBI itself. The bureau, which is used to making headlines for nabbing crooks, has been grabbing the spotlight for unwanted reasons: fired leaders, texts between lovers and, most of all, attacks by President Trump. “I don’t care what channel it’s on,” says Tom O’Connor, a veteran investigator in Washington who leads the FBI Agents Association. “All you hear is negative stuff about the FBI … It gets depressing.”

Many view Trump’s attacks as self-serving: he has called the renowned agency an “embarrassment to our country” and its investigations of his business and political dealings a “witch hunt.” But as much as the bureau’s roughly 14,000 special agents might like to tune out the news, internal and external reports have found lapses throughout the agency, and longtime observers, looking past the partisan haze, see a troubling picture: something really is wrong at the FBI.

The Justice Department’s Inspector General, Michael Horowitz, will soon release a much-anticipated assessment of Democratic and Republican charges that officials at the FBI interfered in the 2016 presidential campaign. That year-long probe, sources familiar with it tell TIME, is expected to come down particularly hard on former FBI director James Comey, who is currently on a high-profile book tour. It will likely find that Comey breached Justice Department protocols in a July 5, 2016, press conference when he criticized Hillary Clinton for using a private email server as Secretary of State even as he cleared her of any crimes, the sources say. The report is expected to also hit Comey for the way he reopened the Clinton email probe less than two weeks before the election, the sources say.

Just more of the disaster left over from our Lil Trainee. Obama politicized the FBI, the DOJ, the IRS, the EPA...the question is are there any gubmint agencies he didn't turn into political hit squads?

The Obama disaster will haunt this country for decades to come. Once corruption sets in it's hard to root out.

Neither are going anywhere and Pelosi has already laid claim to Speaker of the House position. Who are you going to replace them with, even crazier leftists? Face it, the democrat party is about 10 year away from going full blown commie, old school democrats are an endangered species.

To the contrary, the DNC is moving left at light speed so Chuck & Nancy can either lead or step aside because I'm not seeing any leadership coming from those two, none. :shakeshead:

No, I don't see a Bolivarian style revolution in the near future, but I do see lots of Democratic women winning House seats, with the party, and the nation, moving predominately to the left.

Why the sexist attitude? Do you believe women are smarter or more competent than men or do you simply want to be ruled by women? Are you the submissive type? Not judging....

Boy, are you confused.

It's not sexist, to support female candidates for public office, especially veterans.

When you say actions against Clinton, you mean revealing to Congress that 10's of thousands of her work related emails, emails from and to the United States Secretary of State, were found on an unsecured laptop belonging to a pedophile under Federal Investigation?

Did Comey treat her badly OR did her gross negligence with regard to established information security protocols came back to bite her on her rather substantial backside.
