It's bad enough for a law enforcement agency to be biased. It's even worse for it to be biased and incompetent.
But the latter seems to be an apt characterization of our Federal Bureau of Investigation in the wake of the killings in Parkland, Florida, where, by their own admission, the organization overlooked warnings about the killer that could have saved seventeen students and teachers from mass murder. This is no mere bureaucratic slip-up and the demand by Governor Scott for the resignation of FBI Director Wray is understandable considering the number of dead children in his state.

WNU Editor: Some are definitely not happy with the FBI. As to what is my take .... I am definitely disappointed with the top at the Bureau .... we now know though the public release of text messages that their conduct in the past year and a half have been motivated by political bias and their own agenda. On the plus side .... most (if not all of them) .... are now gone, and they will be (I hope) be held accountable in explaining their actions in the future. As to the rest of the Bureau .... the impression that I have is that many try their best to enforce the law, catch the bad guys, and to protect law-abiding Americans. They make mistakes .... who does not .... but the key is to learn from them and adjust.

I'm not sure what is more farcical about this whole episode. That whiny conservatives are alleging "bias" in a federal bureaucracy, as if individuals are not normal citizens who hold political views and vote for different candidates based on those views.
Or, that the FBI, yes that FBI, once run by Hoover, a law enforcement agency, that like all LE agencies tend to tradition, the conservative and the right; somewhere along the way became a den of left-wing out-of-control fanatics bent on some weird agenda that makes no sense.
Would someone please elaborate on what exactly the FBI/Deep State agenda is?
What motivates them and why morphed into lefties out to destroy MAGA.
I'm confused and the flacks pushing this fantasy seem significantly more confused than me.
The FBI has a history of being clearly against left of center, radicals, protesters...that is clear and one can google to see this...that said, dismiss the FBI and what have you? We do not have a national police.
The appt to head that group is for 10 years to avoid political use...perhaps the group does not always perform right, but then, think of this:
Gov of Florida wants to dismiss current head of FBI because they did nothing about the shooter in recent mass killing. But the head of FBI is a Trump appointee, and he has not been on the job very long. The shooter had a long history of violence etc...Where was local police? some 20 visits to the place shooter lived. And they do not get blamed?
I was cleared twice for top secret...that done by FBI. If not there, who would have done it? And look at all those in Trump WhiteHouse without clearance and FBI alerted the WH that they had no clearance but they were allowed in and around the president anyhow..in sum: the FBI gives info but others act on it.
Want to get rid of FBI? ok...what to use instead?
