Dozens of FBI employees contacted journalists who reported on classified information before the 2016 presidential election, according to a new report by the Justice Department’s inspector general, but the investigative office doesn’t know if the FBI agents leaked the information to them. In a report released Thursday, Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz said the employees “had contact with certain members of the media who reported on non-public information about ongoing criminal investigations during the periods of the OIG’s investigation—April, May and October 2016.” He also found that the FBI was “far too permissive of unauthorized media contacts.”(Snip)A large number of employees who had no official reason

OK, we know the FBI is messed up, bigly. How can the FBI be fixed? Who will fix it? Not the Deep State, it thrives on the current state of the FBI. A new administration, also not messed up, is required. 2024 can't come too soon.

The FBI has been corrupt from the day it was founded. Gay Edger Hoover stayed in power for 50 years by digging up dirt and blackmailing every President he served under. The FBI is incompetent. Every time there is a terrorist attack (Boston, Orlando etc) we hear that the terrorist responsible had been "On the FBI's radar" and yet they still carried out the attack. Look at Ruby Ridge, Waco. The FBI needs to be abolished.

In response, FBI chief Wray promised a one-hour training course. Via Zoom.

#1 - if we don’t fix 2020, there won’t be a 2022 or a 2024.

How to fix the FBI..Good Question. Perhaps this is a start: Cut the budget by two-thirds, the least "connected" will be fired. When the dust is settled, fire all the remaining employees and hire back those who were culled originally because they are trained and not as corrupted as those who weren't fired. In essence, let the FBI clean itself.

This is not much of a story, and I wonder if it was released just so we believe someone is holding the FBI accountable. I believe the FBI is involved in illegal activity on a daily basis. Instead of arrests, we get an article about the Inspector General being concerned about media leaks. James Comey openly admitted leaking, yet, nothing was done, which is typical since he is a card-carrying Marxist.
Maybe the Inspector General should be more interested in the wretched crimes (including alleged child-sex-trafficking), which are on full display in the contents of 2 laptops of highly connected people, people who the FBI has granted special privileges, the privilege to abuse children without consequences. How do these agents sleep at night?
And last month an Ascension Parish judge in Louisiana refused to set a bond for FBI agent David Harris after a months-long investigation uncovered years' worth of sex crimes involving child victims across multiple states, including attempted child rape. I am waiting for Chris Wray to hold a press conference to address how an active FBI agent can be trafficking children for years. That is, once he is done hunting down all the white supremacists/terrorists who he has categorized s as the biggest threat to our country.
The FBI is a national joke.

#10, Excellent comment. Comey was the real face of the FBI, smug, arrogant, and corrupt to the core. I remember watching movies and the local police always hated the FBI agents because they were so dismissive and arrogant.
#4, Makes an excellent point too. When has the FBI not been behind the eight ball when it comes to terrorist attacks? Also, I still can’t believe that shooting in Las Vegas is still a mystery. That’s a head scratcher.
Seems to be this agency is just too big for its britches and should be shut down after the criminals in their midst have been prosecuted. Something was very fishy in Washington DC on January 6th and I believe the FBI was in the thick of it. The FBI appears to have become an arm of the DNC, but what agency in Washington has not gone over to the dark side? Corruption should be an extremely important issue come 2024. The blatant injustice we see is destroying the country.

Note to the next legally elected president. Replace the directors and special agents of the FBI with the top management in law enforcement at the U.S. Marshals and Border Patrol. Also follow Janet Reno's example and replace all 93 Federal District Prosecutors in the Department of Justice with constitutionalist state and local prosecutors. Let them evaluate their assistance prosecutors and replace if not pursing cases in federal jurisdiction or tampering with evidence.

The FBI needs to be able to attack the Dims’ political enemies. Otherwise what good are they?
The only hope is that government has always been this corrupt and we are just getting more glimpses due to more information sources. But don’t forget misinformation sources.
Because if things are as corrupt as they appear to be to me- and the level of corruption is not the historical norm- we’re in trouble.

The FBI cleaned out the Mafia, then took the lessons they learned from the Mafia, and applied it to the operation of the FBI.

The Federal Bureau of Intimidation is completely lost...for years they have been bullies...and under obama's illegal terms he opened the flood gates to spying and coercion by DC... take for example comey the little rat that set up the Trump administration from day one...no wonder Washington DC's swamp was so upset at President Trump's win...they figure they had it beat and crooked hillary would win...business as usual only on steroids...well God had a different plan for America...

We all knew this four years ago. But, somehow the federal government can move at lightning speed when patriotic Americans are their target.
