None of these people will tell you which political party has been in charge of the fbi for decades. THERE HAS *NEVER* BEEN A DEMOCRATIC HEAD OF THE FBI. *NEVER* When these right wing trolls complain about the fbi just known they're talking about their incompetent party who can't govern. This is what happens when you put extremists in power.
Most people have no idea that theres NEVER been a democrat running the fbi. NEVER. Its one of the only departments thats beeen ran by the GOP exclusively. Its just so funny watching right wing trolls and trump and other politicans bash the FBI when their party has been running the damn thing for half a century. If what @basso says is right why the **** should we ever nominate another repubican again? In sports if a team keeps losing the most logical thing is to fire the manager and go the other way. @basso and other right wing trolls dont seem to understand the simple concept that their party has beeen in COMPLETE control of the fbi for decades.
Why do you turn everything into this partisan binary debate? If the Director of FBI was a partisan position, presidents would simply replace them.
...lol bless your heart for being so ignorant. What exactly do you think trump did? The fbi that @basso is crying about is being ran by the guy trump installed after FIRING THE OLD DIRECTOR
Where you guys are seemingly confused is that the left is anti-corruption no matter which side of the aisle it is on. The right stands behind their tribe whether they are criminal or not, and just complains about the process when they get caught.
Opinion piece written by someone who doesn't post here. No thanks. I don't doubt fbi has some problems. I have people to worry about that stuff for me. They call themselves congress.
Unsurprisingly, the two usual suspects mentioned by OP responded without having read the article. If their ignorance didn't already prove it, the time stamp would.
It's opinion. His piece on "Commentary.com" is an opinion piece (yes I looked at it). Not a historical one. They never found WMD's in Iraq because there weren't there just like the CIA told everyone.
And now it swung the other way towards your side. Don’t you just want the FBI to do their jobs, which is fighting crimes?
And the people working for members of Congress. Maybe @basso should look at a bill sponsored by a Democrat with co-sponsors from both parties to reform FISA regarding domestic surveillance by the FBI and the NSA, dating back to 2017. I don't recall anyone here bringing that up since 2017. It seems to have taken an FBI investigation into Trump to trigger concern.
You wanna pay me my hourly rate? It's an opinion piece. Does the FBI lie? Have the been sloppy? Yes and Yes. Is that something new? No. You can write this article in the 1930's, 40's 50's 60's 70's 80's 90's 00's 10's and you can write it now. Nothing has really changed. The FBI is far far from perfect. But it's also not useless. Not as corrupt and lost as he makes it out to be.
