FBI Headquarters Joins Boston FBI and IRS as Untrustworthy Government Agencies




[From article]
The FBI says it won't prosecute anyone at the IRS for its admitted targeting of the president's political foes. This just as the agency claims the law is no longer its main mission. So it's a political goon squad now.
According to a leak to the Wall Street Journal, the Federal Bureau of Investigation "didn't find the kind of political bias or 'enemy hunting' that would amount to a violation of criminal law." And so, nobody was likely to be prosecuted for the most blatant politicization of a federal agency within memory.
All the Bureau found was a "mismanaged" agency that enforced rules "it didn't understand." In other words, nothing to see here, move along.
[. . .]
That the FBI won't get involved in this and is willing to wreck its reputation for apolitical probity suggests this investigation is leading to a place the bureau would rather not go — namely, the White House.
It's interesting to note that Rep. Darrell Issa of California announced Tuesday that a top FBI official suddenly won't cooperate with the House Oversight Committee after meeting with a top Justice Department political appointee. Issa says the FBI is stonewalling.
[. . .]
As for the FBI, its fall is even more disturbing. It was once was known for its squeaky clean image and willingness to enforce the law without fear or favor.
Today, it's slid so far into the Washington morass it no longer considers law enforcement its prime mission. About a week ago, it quite questionably declared its top mission "national security" — an abrogation of its congressionally mandated mission.
As such, can the public now trust the FBI or the IRS?
The FBI showed its lawlessness in NYC and Boston when they got into bed publicly with crime families. The Justice Dept. found one FBI agent corrupted the Boston office alone. John Durham ignored egregious criminal abuses by a group of FBI agents. There were 60 admitted or charged homicides by four FBI informants over 30 years. The FBI has been untrustworthy for many years. In Massachusetts laws are optional. Perhaps it is Harvard Law School's influence that makes it so in DC as well as Massachusetts.
