James Kallstrom, a former assistant director of the FBI, (seen in the below photo) offers a piece at Foxnew.com on the conduct of current FBI officials involved
in the Clinton and Trump investigations.
One of the most distressing
recent developments in American government is the trend toward virtually
everyone and everything being politicized.
The Federal Bureau of
Investigation was a notable exception to this. During the 27 years I served
there, I never once witnessed political bias that affected in any way our
ability to conduct fair and honest investigations based on the rule of law and
the integrity that it demands.
But times have changed. The
memo recently released by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Devin Nunes,
R-Calif., reveals yet more shocking details about the failed leadership and
judgement at the highest echelons of the FBI concerning the flawed
investigation into Hillary Clinton and the farcical investigation of Donald
Trump.
This should trouble every
American, because the ability of the FBI to effectively protect our nation and
citizens is directly connected to the regard and respect that the American
people have for the bureau.
During the years I served,
the FBI neutralized Soviet spy rings, dismantled La Cosa Nostra and other
organized crime networks, and pursued the FALN (a Puerto Rican terrorist group)
and Weather Underground responsible for waves of bank robberies and bombings.
Today the FBI is at the forefront of countering rampant cybercrime, radical
Islamic terrorism and an array of other threats.
… The great shame of this
scandal is that the embarrassing actions of a few have sullied the reputation
of the entire FBI and the thousands of dedicated FBI field agents who have
nothing to do with this mess and who continue to do their jobs with exceptional
courage, integrity and dedication.
