You gotta give trump one thing, he was definitely right about the political nature of the FBI.
He was just 10000% wrong about the direction, like anyone who has ever cracked a history book could have told you. The FBI will always side with the authoritarian or conservative (I know, I repeat myself).
He said his boss ordered him to stop investigating Giuliani and the Trump White House.
Someone is covering their ass in case Trump is reelected and that person needs to be named. Now.
The statement points to Charles McGonigal, the now-indicted former head of FBI counterintelligence in New York, as one possible source of the apparent "suppressive efforts."
Only "possible" but it sounds like they have some idea.
Further up the chain of command, bureau leadership — perhaps intimidated by Trump's "deep state" rhetoric and his treatment of former senior FBI personnel like James Comey and Peter Strzok — has resisted investigating the former president. A Washington Post investigation found that more than a year passed before the bureau formally opened a probe into connections between the Trump White House and the January 6 violence.
More than a year...the slow wheel of justice continues. They should have formally opened that probe on January 7th, 2021.
[T]hey also ordered, in early 2022, that the FBI informant who had provided the best intelligence on Giuliani's activities be "closed" — cut off from further FBI contact. According to the statement, that order came from the FBI's Foreign Influence Task Force or FITF, a headquarters-based unit established by Director Christopher Wray in 2017 and charged with combating foreign influence.
Read that again. Now read it again.
no waaaaayyyyyyyy....
