Hillary Supporters Reel Under Impact of FBI Director Comey's No-Evidence Revelations That Threaten Election Outcome

Here's how you destroy a democratic republic by Charles Lane The Washington Post

Among the many manifestations of out-of-control determination to divide Americans, none is more dismaying than the deference the majority of rank and file Republicans have paid their party’s patently unfit presidential candidate, Donald Trump. This deference is a stew of opportunism, blind factional loyalty, a respect for law and order that easily devolves into extremism and a deep, irrational and misogynistic hatred of his opponent, Democrat Hillary Clinton.

None is more dangerous and likely to send chills through the hearts and minds of thoughtful people, than the potential partisan politicization of federal law enforcement, especially its investigative arm, the FBI. This fear was last on full display during America's 1950s McCarthy hearings, created to drive Communists -- translated to Jews and members of the creative community -- from American life, often through imprisonment.

Meet Donald Trump's Top FBI Fanboy The Daily Beast

What is happening at the FBI and the New York office going after Hillary Clinton is the most unnerving thing I've watched in my adult political life. Fascism has never seemed so close at hand as what Donald Trump, Rudi Giuliani, the alt-right and their friends are unleashing.

This is a must-read article, and the details are too long but VERY interesting. Remember the $1 million that Trump promised to a veteran's organization when he skipped the primary debate? That money was only paid when WaPo followed up, but it went to a veteran's organization headed by former FBI New York big-wig Jim Kallstrom. Rush Limbaugh sits on the board.

"Kallstrom is the former head of the New York FBI office, installed in that post in the ’90s by then-FBI director Louis Freeh, one of Giuliani’s longtime friends. Kallstrom has, like Giuliani, been on an anti-Comey romp for months, most often on Fox, where he’s called the Clintons as a “crime family.” He has been invoking unnamed FBI agents who contact him to complain about Comey’s exoneration of Clinton in one interview after another, positioning himself as an apolitical champion of FBI values."

FBI examining fake documents targeting Clinton campaign: sources Reuters

The FBI and other U.S. intelligence agencies are examining faked documents aimed at discrediting the Hillary Clinton campaign. The investigation is part of a broader investigation into perceived attempts to disrupt the US presidential election. 

One of the first fake documents was provided by U.S. Senator Tom Carper, a Democrat on the Senate Homeland Security Committee. Sen. Carper's name and stationery were forged to appear authentic, according to sources.

In the letter now identified as fake, Carper is quoted as saying to Secy Clinton, “We will not let you lose this election,” a person who saw the document told Reuters.

The FBI Is Trumpland': Anti-Clinton Atmosphere Spurred Leaks, Sources Say The Guardian

"Deep antipathy to Hillary Clinton exists within the FBI, multiple bureau sources have told the Guardian, spurring a rapid series of leaks damaging to her campaign just days before the election.

“The FBI is Trumpland,” said one current agent.

Reading reports about such an environment sends chills down the spines of Hillary supporters, raising major questions about how Comey can run the FBI for the next seven years should she win the White House. The FBI director's position is deliberately a 10-year terms in an effort to make it apolitical. 

The currently serving FBI agent who spoke with The Guardian said Clinton is “the antichrist personified to a large swath of FBI personnel,” and that “the reason why they’re leaking is they’re pro-Trump, so much so that the bureau is called 'Trumplandia'.
