A recent report published by America First Legal (AFL) details how the FBI weaponized the federal background investigation process to deny Republican presidents — specifically Donald Trump — the ability to make political appointments in an “institution-wide” violation of the Privacy Act, the Paperwork Reduction Act, and other federal statutes. Institutional disregard for the FBI Manual of Investigative Operations and Guidelines (MIOG) further contributed to this.

It's high time that these crimes of FBI executive level bureaucrats should be "honored" with a final shot of whiskey, a hemp collar, with optional black hood, and the customary 10 foot drop.

This is very important and never reported information (and none of the criminals involved will be held accountable--as usual).

Why wouldn't the FBI/DOJ be involved in illegal activities? They are never punished for anything. The least Congress should do is cut their funding by about 30%

Not surprising and yet, outrageous. So much depends on McCarthy. And McConnell but what are the chances of him doing something about out of control FBI?

Abolish the FBI. Replace it with a new, accountable organization. Prohibit anyone above the level of special agent from serving in the new one and scrutinize those with a fine-toothed comb before acceptance.

ABOLISH the FBI, it was formed to combat organized crime and evidently has taken over that operation! Anyone with a modicum of integrity has already resigned; all that remain are criminal scum!

#9, When individuals in the highest echelon of the FBI understood the power that they had been given, it was just a matter of time until absolute power would corrupt absolutely. I agree the organization should be abolished. The only part worth saving are the scientific investigative departments that do forensic investigation. There is no justification to withhold from prosecution anyone involved in any way with the agencies blatant abuse of power especially those in positions of power. This agency has lost the trust of the American people and nothing short of abolishment will be accepted. Individuals who can walk all over the rights of their fellow American citizens should never hold any position in the United States government.

Remove most of their budget, remove all of their weapons. They we'll see how good they are. J.Edgar Hoover was a cross-dressing, power-mad bully who collected dirt on everybody and used it. I don't see where that has changed.

So when you see ex-FBI Comey, Strzok, McCabe and others on the left media TV shows, these are the guys carrying out all this crookedness.

Today's FBI reminds me of a dear Uncle that you thought was so good and wise and then you found out he was a crook.
Christopher Wray et al is a Mafia family intent on doing evil. The only way to eliminate the evil of the FBI is to wipe it out completely and start over LOCALLY NOT NATIONALLY. That will take the will of Congress.

I understand everyone's frustration with the information now becoming available and the fact that no one is going to be held accountable...so far...let's not give up folks...there is justice coming...maybe not today or tomorrow...but...trust me...justice is coming....

Not surprising, but WOW!
And in the meantime they actually enable, abet and cover up crimes committed by leftist Democrats.

The FBI is the fully owned Gestapo of the Democrat Party. We know it. Nothing new here.
