First of all, the current situation should surprise no one. The FBI has been corrupt right from the beginning with Hoover refusing for years to admit that there even was organized crime in this country.He stayed in power all of those years because he used his agency to gather information on Presidents,members of the House and Senate, and many others, and then used this information as a threat of blackmail unless he got what he wanted. He and his agency played a key role in the cover-up and most likely also the assassination of JFK. He was a close associate of LBJ, who until more recent times, was the most corrupt President we ever had. Over the years the agency has been accused of being involved in corruption, false flags, setting people up for prison sentences and on and on by many whistle- blowers. Many of those whistle-blowers ended up dead. Often it was ruled a suicide but no one was held accountable for any crime. I have a question for everyone to consider: who would dare threaten the head of the whole friggin FBI if Comey was what he is suppose to be?! There can only be one reason why Comey can be intimated and silenced and that must be because he also is dirty! Whether its the Clintons or someone else, someone has something on him that he doesn't want revealed. I think being convinced that we need a Federal police force was a major mistake. It essentially means that the people have no control over it much like they now have no control over the Congress and the President. The States should be able to handle all the police work that needs to be done in their individual State. The Department of Defense could handle any type of outside threat such as espionage. They could also do the job that the CIA and other intelligence agencies have been doing. We have allowed a huge monster to be created in the FBI and the intelligence agencies, who as often as not, and in spite of it being against the law, work against the American people and within the US borders as well as overseas. This monster is used by those in power to attack, intimidate, and silence anyone viewed as their enemy . The current situation with there obviously being one set of rules for the rest of us and basically no rules for the Clintons and others in power is a direct and predictable result of creating this many-headed monster.
