FBI gets an ‘F’ in trust due to recent scandals, but shows absolutely no remorse

James Comey and Andrew McCabe perverted the power of the FBI in order to interfere with the 2016 election on behalf of Hillary Clinton, says John Avlon.

Avlon: FBI leadership was “fired up,” as one agent described it, about whatever tenuous information derogatory to Trump floated across their desk during the election campaign, no matter how implausible.

They encouraged their underlings to do whatever it took to stop Trump winning, including obtaining secret surveillance warrants on his campaign members under false pretenses.

The FBI is out of control and everyone knows it, says Frida Ghitis.

Ghitis: The FBI has been misusing a surveillance tool almost 300,000 times in 2020-2021.

She says a recent poll shows deep public mistrust in the FBI, with 69% of voters believing the FBI violated its own standards in the Russia collusion probe, 70% are concerned that the bureau will interfere in future elections.
