FBI chief’s testimony about Clinton emails torpedoes the bureau’s reputation

Judicial Watch  "There is the bipartisan pretense that the FBI is the only government agency in Washington that is above reproach. Yet, this is the agency that collaborated with Lois Lerner and the IRS in an effort to criminally prosecute opponents of Barack Obama. Then, unsurprisingly, this same FBI (and Justice Department) found nothing worth prosecuting in their own blatant malfeasance.

"Again, this is the same FBI whose Keystone Cops approach to counter-terrorism failed to prevent eminently preventable terrorist acts ranging from the Boston Marathon bombing to the Orlando massacre. In fact, we now know that an FBI supervisor actually told one Florida police department investigating Omar Mateen, “We do NOT believe he is a terrorist” [Emphasis in original]

"How does an agency with this sort of record escape accountability? Quite simply, by doing favors for the likes of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. It is to politicians like Clinton and Obama that men such as Comey owe their jobs – and agencies such as the FBI owe their budgets. And so, they are subservient." . . .

Krauthammer: Comey failed to indict because he didn't want to 'change the course of American political history'

"Charles Krauthammer told viewers Thursday on “Special Report with Bret Baier” that FBI director James Comey decided not to prosecute Hillary Clinton because he “didn't want to be remembered as the guy who changed the course of American political history.” 

" 'She would have been out of the race. The entire campaign would have been upended," the syndicated columnist said. "And to me, it's a bit like and I’ve spoken about this before, Chief Justice Roberts in deciding on Obamacare.' " . . .

Marine officer wants same treatment as Hillary Clinton  "A U.S. Marine officer facing involuntary discharge for improperly handling classified information is hoping to receive the same lenient treatment the FBI recommended for former secretary of state Hillary Clinton.

"Maj. Jason Brezler has been embroiled in a legal battle since December 2014. Brezler is facing an involuntary discharge from the service after he admitted sending classified information to an unclassified email address in 2012. He was trying to warn fellow Marines about a corrupt police chief in Afghanistan. Several weeks later, a deputy of that police chief killed three Marines in a rifle attack.

"An internal review in 2013 recommended that Brezler be removed from the service for possessing classified material, a decision that remains under appeal. However, both the Marine Corps and the Navy Department have already upheld the initial recommendation." . . .
