2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumI remember when the FBI was a respected TV show, and generally respected. But now? Not so much. As
least as I can tell.
Comey has corrupted the top of the FBI. Who knows how far down the rot goes? Certainly in the days of Martin Luther King, Jr., with the ****ing FBI urging him to commit suicide, the organization was evil.
And now comes Republican Comey who in July editorialized when he should have just said no case. And now last week he comes out with total innuendo which he knew would unfairly besmirch Hillary Clinton and harm her candidacy.
The people of the FBI -- honest, objective, hardworking people -- who want to preserve the honor of the institution have to speak out against this perversion of the system brought about by James Comey.
I don't care if he is 6 feet, 8 inches in height. He is no higher than the rest of us in things that matter -- that's why we have civilizations and the rule of law. The shortest American has as much legal standing as the tallest.
As an American citizen, as a learned attorney, as one who has raised his hand and taken his solemn pledge to uphold the law, he is required to do the correct thing even if people are angry at him. (Such as the house Republicans, the Senate Republicans, etc.) If people hate you -- suck it up. You cannot please everyone.
And he has done wrong thing after wrong thing and has not done (in the matter of Secretary Hillary Clinton) the right thing. Why does he not say that Trump's bombasts and lying accusations are lies? Or at least not accurate? Why does this jerk remain silent on the Trump lies?
So the FBI can remain quiet when great harm is being done and does not speak up to rectify it's mistakes?
J. Edgar Hoover is back in power, it seems.
Shame! Shame! Shame! Utter Shame!

Just bullshit from Comey and anyone who supports him! Very, very biased in an agency that requires it not take sides.
Hoover returns, perhaps. Let's see how the FBI handles it, and whether Comey will admit he made a huge mistake, or maybe that other people read into it more than he would have wished, etc.
Tick-tock-tick-tock.
Let's see.
