The FBI Agents Association sent a petition Thursday to the White House and congressional leaders encouraging them to fund the FBI immediately.

(7,725 posts)(SOME...Cough...the GOP) are reminding me of the German People, who after the war, acted like they didn't know what was going on, but, we/they knew they did. It was inconvenient and scary for them to try absolutely everything to stop them. Mueller is an American person....stop him Mr Mueller.
What kind of worries me is that, he can't/won't even do a small thing so America can take a deep breath, and we can stop the hemorrhaging. It just doesn't portend well. Please prove me wrong MR M. It's not YOU...it's the waiting...that's the hardest part. (see Tom Petty on the topic.)
