In a rare admission, the acting FBI director Andrew McCabe on Thursday testified that morale within the bureau took a huge hit after Comey cleared Clinton.
“There were folks within our agency who were frustrated with the outcome of the Hillary Clinton case and some of those folks were very vocal about those concerns,” McCabe said.
Critics claim McCabe is partisan because his wife took $700,000 for a 2015 state senate race in Virginia from Democrats, including long time Clinton aide, Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe.
And former State Department Inspector General Howard Krongard, who served as the State Department’s inspector general from 2005 to 2008, is suspicious of how Comey led the email investigation.
The FBI’s allocation of immunity deals to government officials – like key Clinton aides Huma Abedin, Bryan Pagliano, Cheryl Mills, John Bentel and Heather Samuelson – is “normally done in return for a proffer of evidence or testimony which will build a bridge from one level to a higher level,” Krongard told Fox News. “In this case, the immunity grants built a moat around the higher level, not a bridge.”
He said in this case, it appears there was “virtually nothing in return.”
In light of the dissatisfaction within the bureau following Comey’s decision to let Clinton and her team walk away free, a new FBI director will likely be inclined to re-evaluate all aspects of the case against Clinton and invalidate offers of immunity that were previously granted to the former Democratic nominee and her associates, Weidner explained.
“A new AG and new director may take a good look at the entire case, and if anyone who received immunity did not live up to their agreement, like Huma [Abedin] with the classified documents on her computer, the deal is off...

“There were folks within our agency who were frustrated...”
I have come to resent to use of the word “folks”. We are not talking about folksy things here. Obama used the word all the time to soften issues. FBI agents are not “folks”. They are mean aggressive cops in suits. They come to your door to instill fear and get unqualified truth. There is nothing “folksy” about their role.
Third time’s the charm...
Message to Sarah Palin, why not you too?
It should have been reopened when Trump took office.
——why not you too?-—
That’s a very good question
I suspect that outside of Wasilla, she senses there is inadequate support to win
This won’t be the case for DJT. Once a democrat is back in office, political pressure to investigate the former president will be feverish among the enemedia and other strident extremists.

Excellent point. Trump had better fully expose them before he leaves office. If he is succeeded by a Dem (or even a RINO) they will investigate virtually everything Trump ever said or did. In this case, the best defense is a powerful offense. Get them before they get you.
Agreed. Trump was trying be a nice. I believe he is. Look how far that got him. This is war. They declared it. Fight fire with fire. Justice department needs to reopen the case against H Clinton. Will also help him to go back on offense.
McCabe. Yep, he’s the acting director and IMHO part of the problem. Deep state to the bone.
A new broom sweeps clean.
Same goes for the Dept of Homeland security, ICE and the BP upper management. They have been tugging their forelocks kow-towing to Obama, Holder and Lynch for 8 years, browbeating their underlings and facilitating the invasion.
General McMasters should go too, along with the Kushners.
“”a new FBI director will likely””
“”A new AG and new director may””
Certainly nothing to hope for here - too much equivocating..
Just words on paper.
‘likely’, ‘could’, ‘may’.
Perhaps this release is a shot across the bow of dems, to back off on the full court press of their rhetoric and lies, saying, ‘You want to tell the people about (made up) crimes? Well, let’s show them some real crime and treason!’
McCabe is still the assistant. No need to fire him.
mccabe is interim director now that comey is gonoe.
mccabe was also lead dog on hildabeast emailgate.
mccabe’s wife received about $500k from a hildabeast PAC for her “campaign”
mccabe is a trump hater and needs to go immediately, imo.
I would LITRALLY walk over hot coals to vote for Sarah Palin.
Big thumbs, small smartphone keyboard :-)
Comey set the precedent for killing justice in America.
What he did will either be reversed, or will set in stone the new Comey Standard— justice is for only the little people.
Will John Cornyn reverse Comey? How courageous does Cornyn look to you?
Will Trey Gowdy reverse Comey? How courageous is Trey?
Honesty requires courage.
I know. I laughed out loud when I heard her say that. As if she never heard of Hillary Clinton. Clinton was caught red handed, evidence, witnesses, actionable collusion on behalf of her foundation, open disregard and thwarting of the rules, standards and protocols for one in her position, etc., etc.
Trump? Not a shred of evidence, but that he is a victim of slander.
Me? I have a friend who helps me.
Perhaps you know him? He goes by the name of Otto Core Wrecked...
“”You want to tell the people about (made up) crimes? Well, let’s show them some real crime and treason!””
We can HOPE....There is sure enough there to fill a lot of time...
My other nemesis :-)
