Discussion: DOJ Inspector General Won't Say If He's Probing FBI Anti-Clinton Leaks To Rudy

““I’m not going to speak to any of the investigative steps we may or may not have taken, for the very reasons we describe in here, about what’s appropriate to do in terms of policy,””

Teatroll Rosetta Stone: “I’m more interested in keeping my job than doing it.”

Even if nothing happens (high probability), it’s just one more thing Dotard has to worry about, adding to his steadily building aneurysm potential.

Dear Liberals, Democrats, Progressives and all Lovers of Freedom and Democracy,

The FBI is not your friend. It is not your ally. It never has been and it never will be. It is the police apparatus of Empire and Oligarchy. It always has been, and it is today. Same goes for James Comey. That is all.

Love,

Ken in MN.

DoJ Inspector General: “It was important for us to release our report of anti-Trump bias within the FBI before November’s mid-term elections. For similar reasons, it is important for us to wait until after the mid-term elections to release our report of anti-Clinton bias within the FBI.”

having fun of my own today…I wonder how long that sentence will last? hehe

Added: “The report is widely criticized as incomplete and evidencing bias of its own for a failure to follow up on widespread reports of leaks from the FBI’s New York field office to former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani, several ex-FBI agents running the True Pundit website, Rep. Devin Nunes and others, which leaks appear to have been designed to assist the Trump presidential campaign by pushing the Clinton investigation to be reopened and forcing a public announcement of the same.”

So as a former FBI Director, Robert Mueller is “tainted goods”?

Interesting perspective…

It’s not about any one person. It’s about the institution and the system in which it operates — and that’s over and above the usual bureaucratic considerations.

So we should abolish the FBI?

If a doctor tells you your mother has cancer, do you immediately ask “So we should kill her?”

Not a perfect analogy but you get the point: our institutions are not God-given. We can alter them.

Idealism and purity is wonderful, but what is your solution under a GOP dominated government.

What do you infer from the following (stated above)?

The FBI is not your friend. It is not your ally. It never has been and it never will be. It is the police apparatus of Empire and Oligarchy. It always has been, and it is today.

All he had to say was “No.” Since he didn’t say it, the answer must be “Yes.”

Ok, say I fully accept the original premise. ( I don’t )

Again, Idealism and purity is wonderful, but what is your solution under a GOP dominated government.

Exactly…Just like the Supreme court’s punting on Gerrymandering, policy designed to try and get through the next election.

That’s how I read the whole situation. It’s an ongoing investigation. I wouldn’t be surprised if this isn’t part of a larger investigation into Rudy.

“Solution” to what problem?

And what “Idealism and purity” are you referring to? Invoking the FBI’s history is now “Idealism and purity”?
