There are couple of almost comical statements in the article.
ReplyDeleteThe first I noticed was "Being completed as expeditiously as possible..." These things can easily take over a year depending on the general workload.
Next was the hand-waving saying "FBI’s role is purely fact-finding" and doesn't make judgments on the facts. They state this to give the illusion that they can't be biased since they don't judge the facts. But they do decide what facts are included in the review and which ones to overlook. To a great extent, they also assess the credibility of the "facts" gathered. Think Brett Kavanaugh accuser. If she was given no credibility by the FBI, no one would listen to the "facts" that she brought up (yes, I know, she probably was not vetted by the FBI, but you get the idea).
The article does point out, if you don't tow the line of the FBI director and the rest of the FBI swamp, they will destroy your career by yanking your clearance.
So the FBI, which has hounded everyone associated with Trump for 8 years, can't be trusted to vet his nominees?
ReplyDeleteNo, I won't believe it.
The FBI has become as useful as the Dept of Ed ... and just as reliable
ReplyDeleteJohn Brennan was a member of the communist party. Spare me the BS FBI
