These FBI agents and Steve Penny should all go to jail for a long time.
Abbott is allowed to retire during an internal investigation? Should make those pension payments payable to the victims.
What he said.
The Nassar conviction was late, overdue, and his investigation for sex crimes on students was horribly bungled.
But I see common threads of FBI incompetence, weaponized investigations in Washington, other states. Chris Wray
can’t bring upright this ship?
First, if the FBI could quit pursuing their personal political leanings, maybe they could do better on their actual responsibilities. I listened to Wray – great speech (sarcasm – typical “bureaucrat speak”), and missing some key messages. Even when he actually said the word accountability, it was weak. He talked about his frustration that an individual had retired and he had “no recourse” – funny how that works with government employees [versus business execs…]. You can’t tell me there wasn’t something the retiree could be charged with.
Relative to the firing – all the inappropriate behavior and incompetence was known for many months (years?) and yet, it was only very recently the agent was discharged (and actually, had been previously “re-assigned” [not fired] from the “role” they held during their failure to perform their job). So if it were not for the Congressional hearing(s), would Wray have even fired the individual? As it is, what a great way to play tough to the audience…it would have been more appropriate if the firing had been done immediately after the investigations were complete – it is pathetically weak, and nothing more than a political calculation to do it after a Congressional hearing is scheduled. Further, what Wray should have said regarding accountability was “there will be consequences, they will be severe, and ANYONE associated with this pathetic episode will no longer be employed by the FBI nor any other agency in the Federal Government (not merely “re-assigned”)”. Of course, accountability and government bureaucrats should NEVER be used in the same paragraph, much less sentence.
