About the FBI. How do people who work for the FBI feel about being conned?

.....Investigators, leaders, even secretaries have been conned. The FBI was ordered to do a very incomplete study within a short amount of time on a very important subject. The outcome was predicted. Are we talking about 4 days? Or is it 5 days? The FBI has been long known as an outstanding organization that gets the crook. But in this case, the crook goes free because he gets the FBI. I don't think people who have been lifetime employees of this organization, that has high ideals and an outstanding reputation are particularly happy with this situation.
.....It seems obvious that the crook lied to congress, and that is "against the law." A company or organization that prides itself on "honesty" and "getting the bad guy" will not take this con lightly. The FBI has been used by crooks to gain an illegal con that will last for a lifetime.. I do not think we have heard the last of this from the FBI.
....something else to think about ...Mark Felt, who was "deep throat" of the Watergate scandal, worked for the FBI, and I am sure that the FBI took enormous pride in the fact that one of its own broke open that crime with numerous parts and the fellow at the top, Richard Nixon was exposed and had to resign. Keeping that in mind, I will say it again..I do not think we have heard the last of this from the FBI. No one likes to be used in a dishonest way for evil purposes. The last organization that someone would do this to is the FBI. After all, they will come after you, no matter what.

this is the last thing the FBI needs. Their reputation is in the toilet now, along with the Supreme Court's with it's attempted rapist Justice joining it's bench.

trump ruins everything he touches.

This show is only in the first or 2nd Act of a 5 act play. I believe that the FBI is pissed and angry in a way that it has never been. Used by a couple of lifelong liars. The FBI has pride in what it does and its honesty and perseverance. If you were a lifelong member of this organization how would you feel? And what would be your goal, and the goals of your fellow dedicated employees. That is the answer. Hopefully, we will all be around for Act 5....
............... And yes we will need a whole lot of popcorn....

When you think about it, the repugs are acting so blindly in lock-step that they aren't taking time to think, that is if they can.

This whole sham smells week-old fish rotting in the garbage.

Everyone can see this was a phony show with hardly any witnesses interviewed—all of the people who Kavanaugh went to school with wanted to talk to the FBI but weren't contacted.

Only the few people on the list the repugs provided were talked to.

It smells.

Church and legal groups are calling for the nomination to be pulled and the repugs think they can pulled this and just sweep it under the rug and it'll be over. Flake is not looking so principled now as it looks like only a clever little scheme he pulled to give trump and the repugs cover to install the attempted rapist.

I don't think it'll just go away.
