The DOJ, FBI, CIA, and the entire IC

[SHRED]

Anyone else growing weary of former administrators and directors of these institutions droning on and on about the "dedicated" individuals in these institutions?

As if somehow we are suppose to feel better about them and their institutions even though a dangerous Russian asset gained our presidency and still resides in the Whitehouse right under their noses?

1. I get your drift. Seems bizarre. How the fuck did it happen?

Something is not right.

[SHRED]

2. Completely FUBAR

These institutions are there to protect us.
They failed.
In fact the FBI via Comey helped install him.

[triron]

5. I don't know how Comey can still sleep at night.

[SHRED]

10. He's never explained his Hillary behavior adequately

In my opinion.

3. Seems they really fucked up with prevention re the 2016 election

[SHRED]

13. Yep

Based on the results.

15. That was Mitch McConnell's doing.

4. Clearly, they didn't do enough to keep Trump out of the White House.

Perhaps congress should look into this.

6. The same thing could possibly be said about the IRS. If he has committed financial crimes it seems

that they should have been addressed long before Mnuchin came along. There were some fines here and there, but evidence of fraud, money laundering, etc., should have brought serious, disqualifying charges long ago. Seems to me like someone has been asleep at that switch as well.

7. Excellent point.

[triron]

8. Maybe too many republicans have infiltrated those organizations?

[dameatball]

12. That could be part of it. I really have no idea. The NY FBI certainly seemed to have many of them.

[dixiegrrrrl]

14. Guliani bragged about "his" FBI when he was NYC mayor. n/t

[dameatball]

16. Yes he did. That whole thing where he boasted about a surprise coming up, then Comey's bs, it all

stunk and still does. I wonder if we will ever really know how all those interactions occurred.

9. Weary, very weary

I saw a member of our Congress on one of the nightly MSNBC shows say something to the effect that we may never hear about the counterintelligence efforts on Mueller's part in order to use that info for future use (sounded like way down the road for different investigations). We keep hearing intel community is very greedy with their sources & methods, but at some point you have to draw the line between imminent danger of the here and now. And this is as bad as it gets. So we're just going to let a russian asset sit in the white house and pull the same Putin play with breaking down institutions??

I get that same feeling about mob surveillance that goes on for decades, and no one pulls the trigger, because "look how many informants we're getting!". Just like it baffles me how so many russians lived in Trump tower, and there must have been surveillance going on for decades...and the guy is teflon, and in the WH.

[SHRED]

11. It makes no sense to me

Incompetence?
Laziness?
