Surely FBI leaks are soon to come

[vlyons]

The FBI can't be pleased that the Director was fired in such a disrespectful and humiliating way. Surely there are some very pissed Trump-haters in the FBI, who soon will be leaking like sieves. haha starting with Comey when he testifies again to the senate.

1. Hmmm

I can't imagine working in an environment where you learn your director is fired while he is giving a speech. There were people in tears. The group dynamics must be in chaos right now. That's not effective for running our intelligence agencies. Holding on to hope right now.

2. If he was as respected by the troops as is reported

plans are being formulated, either individually or collectively

3. My hope is that if congress refuses to do thier jobs

the leaks will be so many and so damning that congress will be afraid not to act.

4. "Deep Throat" was FBI.

In fact, he (Mark Felt) was the Associate Director at the time he was leaking information about the Watergate investigations to Bob Woodward. After J. Edgar Hoover died, Felt was passed over for the Director position, which was instead given to Patrick Gray. He wrote in a memoir: "The record amply demonstrates that President Nixon made Pat Gray the Acting Director of the FBI because he wanted a politician in J. Edgar Hoover's position who would convert the Bureau into an adjunct of the White House machine." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Felt

I wonder if there's anyone in the FBI right now who is worried that it might be converted "into an adjunct of the White House machine."

6. Given their antics during the election...

I'd say that there are far too many who would like that.

7. I am 100% certain that there is someone in the Bureau thats worried about that

and have been since the innauguration.
