I WAS AFFRAID of Bush Left over FBI Agency Jobs by Cronyism and Politics.



With a Obama presidency, a highly educated man to disrupt the FBI by changing the agency he didn't do, or understanding how bad the FBI is so bias, to but Comey in charge I was astounded. The Bush administration gave jobs usually motivated by cronyism and by politics they are all still in place.

FBI and Fox news Lies link.

3. Here’s why Liberty University has become a pilgrimage site for GOP candidates

“Liberty has become to the academy what Fox News is to the media,” said Johnnie Moore, an author, pastor and a former senior vice president at Liberty, where he was responsible for organizing the chapel sessions, called convocations. Appearances by more centrist GOP candidates John McCain (in 2006) and Mitt Romney (in 2012) helped establish its place, he said. “No one was talking anymore about whether Liberty was the heart of conservatism. It became an institution that, whether you liked it or not, everyone in America has to pay attention to.”

Liberty student trains at competitive FBI internship

“My father has been in the FBI for almost 20 years, and I think he has influenced me greatly,” he said. “I was also surrounded by military and law enforcement families my whole life, so it was an easy decision for me to pursue law enforcement.”
During his summer internship, Neubauer attended several classes and workshops and was given a role in multiple simulated missions. He even got to shoot alongside FBI SWAT team (a division of the FBI) operators through a training course. In addition to combat training, Neubauer helped to streamline the FBI's equipment ordering process, making it easier for agents to order and receive equipment.

FBI takes a page from Breitbart: Far-right “Clinton Cash” book used in Foundation investigation

OK, not really. But this nugget from a New York Times story on how the bureau kept two investigations under wraps this summer so as not to appear to be meddling in the presidential campaign could lead you to wonder.

In August . . . the F.B.I. grappled with whether to issue subpoenas in the Clinton Foundation case, which . . . was in its preliminary stages. The investigation, based in New York, had not developed much evidence and was based mostly on information that had surfaced in news stories and the book “Clinton Cash,” according to several law enforcement officials briefed on the case.

Oh, neat, “Clinton Cash,” the partisan hit job published last year by Breitbart’s editor-at-large, Peter Schweizer, and later adapted into a documentary that was executive produced by former Breitbart chairman and current Trump campaign CEO Stephen Bannon. Next the FBI will tell us that Roger Stone was the special agent in charge of the investigation.
If you have forgotten about “Clinton Cash,” Digby laid out a nice case against it and Schweizer.

The short version is that the book was one in a long, long line of thinly sourced tales about the Clintons that have made millions of dollars for various right-wing writers and publishing houses since the early 1990s. For that matter, these tales sold a lot of copies of the Times as well, when it went all in chasing Whitewater stories early in Bill Clinton’s presidency.
