the current mess just brought it more to public attention.
B: Fairly or not, the current FBI tragedy is that an American citizen
should be duly worried about his constitutional rights any time he is
approached by such senior FBI officials. That is not a slur on the rank
and file, but the legacy of the supposed best and brightest of the
agency and their distortions of the bureau’s once professional creed.
Bullshit. Anyone who thinks the rank and file- those field agents Sean Hannity keeps insisting are without tarnish, etc.- aren't affected by this attitude are blind or fools. Do they think all the footwork involved in this was only done by the high-rankers?
And that's not even touching on the lab scandals and others.
Said it before: either the FBI gets a serious housecleaning, which has to include "Yes, you're Special Agents of the Bureau; that does NOT mean you get to play games with the law and get away with it", or that agency will never be trusted again. And if they don't clean it out they do not deserve to be trusted.
