The FBI Tramples Our Political Order

The FBI should brush up on the powers of the chief executive

Rich Lowry January 15, 2019

The FBI took it upon itself to determine whether the president of the United States is a threat to national security.  No one had ever before thought that this was an appropriate role for the FBI, a subordinate agency in the executive branch, but Donald Trump isn’t the only one in Washington trampling norms. 

The New York Times reported the astonishing news. “Counterintelligence investigators,” the paper writes, “had to consider whether the president’s own actions constituted a possible threat to national security.” U.S. presidents over the decades have made many foolhardy decisions that have undermined our security; never before have they been deemed a fit subject for an FBI investigation. 
The proximate cause for the probe into Trump was his firing of FBI director James Comey, which the FBI considered both a potential crime and a national-security matter because it might shut down the investigation into Russian efforts to influence the 2016 election.
 
Even if they were shocked by the treatment of Comey, top FBI officials should have been able to quickly ascertain that the Russia investigation continued unimpeded — indeed, it is still ongoing today.........To Read More.....

My Take - FDR's administration was filled with traitors and he had to know it making him guilty of treason.  The Clinton's scandalous actions that allowed China to acquire advanced computer technology was so obviously treasonous, and Obama's chumminess with Iran and other terrorist groups can only be considered treasonous, but the FBI was worried about Trump. 

Somewhere in the FBI there's developed a problem.  They've lost sight of who they are, what they're supposed to do, and what is or isn't a crime. 

The Janisarry Corp of the Ottoman Empire was the backbone of the Empire's military and were devoted to the Sultan for hundreds of years.  But in 1826 135000 rebelled against Sultan Mahmud II.  The Sultan wasn't amused.  He killed many of them and all the leaders.  The rest were either exiled or imprisoned, but they ceased to exist. 

That can't happen here with the FBI, but make no mistake about this.  At some point there's going the be a purge of the FBI and the DOJ.
