#1 What can I say: FBI has strange assets - and stranger employees.

#2 Can we please make sedition a capital crime? Oh wait, you have to have an AG - FBI charge someone.

#3 And led years ago by the "strangest" of them all, J. Edgar.

#4 The so called massive sales are simply distribution inventory for retail sales. This is a game that has been played many times. The fix is in. The money is all for show to keep Woodward relevant. I am waiting to see Dan Rather resurrected at any time. This all goes on with the conservative being silenced. Just another feeble attack that will produce no effective results. Similarly as we see the polls spew disinformation. The days of media credibility are gone.

#6 So "Watergate" was the first FBI coup against a president?

Remember that Hillary was part of the Watergate prosecution -- until she was fired for encouraging unethical and illegal tactics. Seems to me this is just her sticking with what she knows best.

#7 At least Tricky Dick resigned, some say for the good of the nation and the office of the presidency. Compare Nixon to psycho/sociopaths such as Bill Clinton and Obama.

Well there was that unpleasantness in Dallas back in '63.

#9 The whole thing reminds me of the Cain Mutiny. As the attorney said at the end, if the officers had actually supported their captain he wouldn't have been driven to paranoia at the vital time when the ship was in danger.

Trump is Queeg, FBI and Democrats are the disloyal officers. Hopefully we'll have a different ending as the nation supports the commander in chief still.

He wasn't FBI; he was a lone communist.

#11 Can't help but wonder if a certain "Foundation" is running it's boilers 448 pages at a time.

#12 Strange isn't, how we've not heard much if anything from the so-called FISA judges ?
