Meet Donald Trump’s Top FBI Fanboy

[DonViejo]

Trump supporters with strong ties to the agency kept talking about surprises and leaks to come—and come they did.

Two days before FBI director James Comey rocked the world last week, Rudy Giuliani was on Fox, where he volunteered, un-prodded by any question: “I think he’s [Donald Trump] got a surprise or two that you’re going to hear about in the next few days. I mean, I’m talking about some pretty big surprises.”

Pressed for specifics, he said: “We’ve got a couple of things up our sleeve that should turn this thing around.”

The man who now leads “lock-her-up” chants at Trump rallies spent decades of his life as a federal prosecutor and then mayor working closely with the FBI, and especially its New York office. One of Giuliani’s security firms employed a former head of the New York FBI office, and other alumni of it. It was agents of that office, probing Anthony Weiner’s alleged sexting of a minor, who pressed Comey to authorize the review of possible Hillary Clinton-related emails on a Weiner device that led to the explosive letter the director wrote Congress. Hours after Comey’s letter about the renewed probe was leaked on Friday, Giuliani went on a radio show and attributed the director’s surprise action to “the pressure of a group of FBI agents who don’t look at it politically.”

“The other rumor that I get is that there’s a kind of revolution going on inside the FBI about the original conclusion [not to charge Clinton] being completely unjustified and almost a slap in the face to the FBI’s integrity,” said Giuliani. “I know that from former agents. I know that even from a few active agents.”

2. Kallstrom is the same clown

that insists Flight 800 was brought down by an accident involving a fuel tank - even after 200 eyewitnesses claimed they saw a missile headed for the plane. He's scum.

3. White Supremacy

Law Enforcement at all levels is chuck full of of Neo Nazis and White Supremacists. Donald is an out in the open White Supremacists. He has people at all levels of law enforcement working for him.

The FBI and all levels of law enforcement need to be purged of these animals.

7. Well, if this is true,

and I, for one, believe it is, then Comey knew that there would be leaks to Congress and the press if he didn't address it when he did. That means he was covering his own ass. He really needs to be investigated and more importantly, charged with violation of the Hatch Act.

Basically, it comes down to this: he has lost control of his agency, which it would appear, has gone rogue. He has kowtowed to threats by his agents and a partisan political operative (Rudy), and has deliberately used the power of his office to influence the outcome of a presidential election.

Not only does Comey need to answer for this, but so do his rogue agents, Rudy Giuliani, and anyone else who played a part in this attempted coup.

The potential fallout from this action is truly frightening. The future roll of the FBI hangs in the balance, as it would appear that the agency that is responsible for investigation has now moved into the realm of prosecution.

If the institutions of government can no longer be trusted by the citizens, then we're no better than a banana republic, and this is exactly what Trump and other want to be dictators are hoping for.

What a sad day for America.
