Comey: 'Crazy' to Believe FBI Is Leftist Cabal Out to Get Republicans

I’m willing to believe they are a left-right neutral cabal out to get Republicans, if that will help...

[BREITBART] Former FBI Director JamesThe spine of the FBI is the rule of law Comey
The disgraced, except in his own mind, former head of the FBI...
said Wednesday on CNN
...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for...
’s "CNN This Morning" that the notion the FBI is a "leftist cabal out to get the Republicans" was crazy.

On Fox News, Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) said, "The Republican presidents have accepted the canard that the DOJ and FBI are, quote, ’independent.’ They are not independent agencies. They are part of the executive branch. They answer to the elected president of the United States. So as president, you have a responsibility to be involved in holding those agencies accountable."

Co-host Poppy Harlow said, "Historically, previously until the last few years it has been those on the left who have been critical of the FBI. You were a Republican for most of your life until you say the party left you. Why do you think so many Republicans have turned on the FBI?"

Comey said, "I think it’s largely because Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and whatever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
and those around him have seen the FBI as a threat, and so they have take an blowtorch to try to tear down that threat. It’s really unfortunate. The notion that the FBI is some sort of leftist cabal out to get the Republicans is so crazy. It shows you how crazy our times are."

He added, "The FBI will be fine in the long run. This fever around Donald Trump and the MAGA world will eventually break, but it’s become somehow a nutty article of faith that the FBI is out to get Republicans. If you ask people 20 years ago whether that would someday be the accusation, they’d say that’s nuts. It’s nuts, but it will pass."

#7 The Department of Justice announced on Wednesday that it was suing West Virginia Republican Gov. Jim Justice to collect allegedly-owed funds stemming from environmental and health violations by his family’s coal empire.

The agency seeks $7.6 million in total restitution, which the DOJ says belongs to the Department of the Interior, according to the Washington Times. In the suit, the DOJ names 13 coal companies under the control of Justice and his son, James C. Justice III.

Under intense scrutiny from Republicans over its alleged political biases, the suit has intensified claims of a partisan DOJ because of Justice’s status as a Republican candidate for Senate.

[Well, no kidding. It’s a curious moment for this action, no? Especially considering that the same DoJ has been stalling for two years on Hunter Biden’s criminal activities? — Ed]

#9 I get so confused...

A cabal is a group of people who are united in some close design, usually to promote their private views or interests in an ideology, a state, or another community, often by intrigue and usually unbeknownst to those who are outside their group. The use of this term usually carries negative connotations of political purpose, conspiracy and secrecy.

A cartel is a group of independent market participants who collude with each other in order to improve their profits and dominate the market. A cartel is an organization formed by producers to limit competition and increase prices by creating artificial shortages through low production quotas, stockpiling, and marketing quotas.

#10 ^ Okay, now do "cabal of cartels" vs. "cartel of cabals," please. ;-)
