“As a general policy, we don’t talk about such efforts,” the other source told Mother Jones. “You have to take all of this incredibly seriously.”
Discretion is your calling card.
What was not revealed was that any bug found would have likely been marked “Property of RWNJFBI”.
What was it that Hillary did that was worse than Watergate?
Bugging the DNC headquarters? Gee…anybody remember what happened the last time the GOP tried that?
Here’s a hint.
Being found penis-free by the GOP?
“The Democratic National Committee recently reported to the FBI that a security sweep turned up evidence its Washington, D.C. headquarters may have been bugged.”
The Bureau responded immediately.
By ordering agents to be more discreet in their DNC surveillance.
It used to be said that the FBI was agent graduates from St. Johns and Fordham investigating graduates of Yale and Harvard. Nothing seems to have changed.
My first thought exactly.
But it might have been the FBI itself doing the bugging this time, no?
Been saying this -= the minute HO said Hillary was guilty of something worse than Watergate I knew he was sitting on something way worse than Watergate.
His projection is damn near perfect.
If Watergate happened today, no one would even bat an eye. Back then it was enough to take down a sitting president. Today it would barely be in the top 5 of deplorable things Trump has done in any given week.
Watergate didn’t erupt overnight either.
It took time.
Man, this election and the Trump effect on everything that comes within his event horizon. The FBI’s reputation is broken for God knows how long. I think the people in the bureau who care about that wish the New York guys had just left the politics at home and done their fucking jobs fighting actual crime.
Oh yeah shades of the Watergate scandal are wafting thru the air. For you younger folk this is how that scandal began. Only this time the GOPers aren’t in office. But the dirty tricks brigade is obviously out and about.
Would that make Donnie “Tricky (tiny) Dick”?
Exactly. I read about the bugs and thought, “Holy crap! They’re up to their old tricks.”
Worked so well for them then, right? Of course, then isn’t now.
Edit: You mean I wasn’t the first! Darn.
The New GOP motto:
Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it.
There is no depth to which politics will not sink given the opportunity and the inclination. Note which side is the dirty side in this election by far. Bugging the DNC, openly saying they intend to harrass Hillary for her entire term, not allowing any SCOTUS nomination or even a review of one, threatening impeachment before the goddam election even happens, OK then, have the democrats acted like this? At all?
So, if you suspect a bug and you call in the FBI, what is it supposed to say if it is the FBI’s own bug?
