Steyn analyzes real bigotry inside the FBI. What do Virginians think about being called ignorant hill billies by the FBI? Don't kid yourself, Comey thought the same thing about us, and Wray probably does too. We'll find out. Let's see if Wray fires Strzok and Page.

[KavMan]

FOX News people need to STOP making Strzok and Page out to be such important players!

They are just the stupid help, like those dumb idiot wrestlers that used to always get beatup by the Superstars in the WWE lol

The main guy they need to go after is FIXER Comey! Nothing gets the OK without this DBag's approval imho

James Comey is a corrupt FIXER for Hillary!

Comey, the Elite’s Fixer, “Busted”, Recieved Millions from Clintons

A government job is not like being a clerk at ACE hardware. There are layers upon layers of processes and policies surrounding every aspect of being a civil “servant.” Probably no one has the ability to fire a government employee outright. Even if they brought a gun to work and were caught with drugs at their desk, I suspect you’d have to refer them to HR and HR would like the whole matter to just go away.

The process I had to go through to fire a poorly performing employee at a large company was long and involved. Most managers simply gave them mediocre reviews and shunted them off to someplace where they weren’t perceived as doing any harm. (Believe me, just having some of these people in the building did harm to morale and it often, for various reasons, caused good people to find other employment.)

My guess is (1) the political corruption is so bad that no one sees the problem and/or (2) no one has the balls to do so. Why hasn’t Trump ordered Sessions to clean house?

Leverage.

While they still have their FBI jobs senior officials have control and leverage over them and what they do.

By protecting Strzok and Page the higher level FBI officials are protecting themselves and others even higher.

As an example, up until now the FBI has refused to allow the two of them to be interviewed or to testify to congress.

There is no doubt that these two know enough to take down some high level officials and other democrats.

If they are fired they would be more inclined to seek deals to protect themselves and that would mean cutting deals to tell what they know about wrong-doing at higher levels.

The Deep State, democrats and Obama holdovers are still running the DOJ and FBI.

They allow Jeff Sessions to chase after dope dealers but that’s about as long as his leash lets him roam.

[Migraine]

Every day I wonder about those two: how the hell do they report to work each, day as they are shown to be such scalawags when their texts are revealed?

Oh, but I forgot: scalawags have no shame.

OMG

[Political Junkie Too]

Firing these two, specifically, would be a public admission of guilt of something, which the FBI cannot allow. It would open the door to all sorts of questions and would give investigators a legitimate opening to look deeper into the inner workings of the DOJ and FBI.

That's why it won't happen.

I suspect Strzok and Page and in a box...

[Sir Napsalot]

I imagine both currently endure being treated by their colleagues, and other acquaintances like a plague. Fearing all their communication will be wire-tapped or closely watched.

They earned the distinct stigma and will be wearing it for life.

And just imagine how those bigger fish, or actors yet unknown, feel. Let them stew in their own miserable soup. For Now.

The picture I see of this Lisa skank doesn’t say much for her. Her teeth are terrible, and her hair is greasy. I assume both she and Peter were married while they were having an affair.............ignorant, cheating, educated lawyers are far worse than any “hillbilly”.

The modern leftist idea of elite police has resulted in overtoleration of unseemly conduct on the grounds of “who else will do the job if we enforce conscientiousness”?

[Nifster]

I want to know how govt officials with security clearances can continue to be employed while carrying on an extra marital affair?

[Nifster]

With a co worker no less

[Renkluaf]

Mark doesn’t seem to understand that it’s impossible to be fired by the Federal government.

[Gay State Conservative]

Firing any of the main players,before they're indicted at least,would cause a sh*tstorm in the Lamestream media the likes of which we haven't seen since....Pearl Harbor.

Best to leave them where they are and take away the key to the Executive Washroom.They'll then be powerless and might even quit...for a gig at MSLSD.

[bray]

He must have missed the Gummit Service part of the question. You cannot be fired as a Federal worker.

Fisagate-Boomerangs-Democrats-Hillary-Obama!

The champion of deceit and damaging our country was the Wrongdoer in Chief: Obama!!

@realDonaldTrump

The top Leadership and Investigators of the FBI and the Justice Department have politicized the sacred investigative process in favor of Democrats and against Republicans - something which would have been unthinkable just a short time ago. Rank & File are great people! 3:33 AM · Feb 2, 2018, Donald J. Trump

All of this sedition, surveillance and coup plotting came down from Obama's smug thugs in the DOJ/FBI!

At the very least these two have been an embarrassment to the FBI and they’ve had to pay for some expensive lawyer help.

Strzok and Page have to be extremely anxious about their futures.

[all the best]

“government service”?

You mean where they get to be served by the government and its stupid taxpayers?
