FBI director confirms criminal probe of VA

2014-06-15

FBI Director James Comey
A good man
confirmed Wednesday that the bureau's Phoenix branch has opened a criminal investigation of the Veterans Affairs Department, amid mounting calls on Capitol Hill for the Justice Department to get more involved.

Comey confirmed the bureau's involvement

#4 At least there are a few honorable men in the FBI at the lower levels.

Yes there are, I know some of them. FBI Director James Comey really is one of the good guys. Of course he works for Holder. Hopefully Comey is keeping notes....

#3 They need to keep their findings on a couple different thumb drives, you know how the computers lose critical files in DC.

At least there are a few honorable men in the FBI at the lower levels. It gives me hope, and we all really need hope right now.

Yes Mr. Director, we should be done here in Phoenix in a couple of days. We'll be on a train to D.C. and begin the IRS investigation on Tuesday morning.
