Limbaugh Hammers FBI Director Wray for Claim of No Political Bias—‘That’s a Semantic Word Game’
breitbart ^ | JEFF POOR

Posted on 06/16/2018 5:33:33 AM PDT by davikkm

Friday on his nationally syndicated radio show, conservative talker Rush Limbaugh criticized FBI Director Christopher Wray for his reaction to the Department of Justice Inspector General’s report.

Limbaugh noted Wray interpreted the report as saying the FBI had no “political bias,” which Limbaugh said was a semantic word game. He added that Wray’s pledge for more training contradicted that notion because if there were not political bias, there would be no need for training.

Limbaugh was just being polite while on the air. It’s actually a bunch of bull crap and everyone knows it on both sides of the aisle.

Optic game. Must give the appearance of being objective and not just a Trump yes man. Same with Sessions. Huber has been doing the heavy work. Notice no leaks from him.

Wray is very disappointing in several ways. For one thing, he lumped the FBI working around the nation, my neighbor, with the cabal of Clintonistas who worked out of the Hq in WDC. Did anyone ever figure out how this group ever found each other? I submit that in some way Obama was able to control all government agencies the way he did the leadership at the FBI.

The FBI is the American SECRET POLICE. The IG report is a bald face lie. The IG means well but he is. They are exhonerating Ms Clinton for embezzling and commending Comey for lying. Look at it and think about it.

People said same thing about the IG. No leaks... So it has to be good. BS.

No leaks means nothing worth leaking.

We don't want a yes man but we do expect the truth. I heard that this guy Wray was an insider who would help cover up these crimes. He proved to be exactly what I heard he was. He's a stinking bureaucrats who cares about corrupt bureaucrats more then the country.

Limbaugh had other excellent points:
* people who join the FBI are drilled endlessly in ethics and enter knowing the ethical requirements. It’s preposterous that these people need more “training.”
* the problem wasn’t lack of training with the rank and file. It was with a thoroughly corrupt leadership largely installed by Obama. Those people are immune to training.

We’ll see. He is also trying to revamp an organization that was corrupt, but has good people in it. I doubt he wants to keep telling them how bad they are, the ones who did nothing wrong. I trust Trump.

Special Agents are drilled endlessly on how to get away with perjury via FD-302s.

No it doesn’t. There are thousands of sealed indictments. Some are coming out now. If you are getting your news from the MSM, then you don’t know what is really happening. Stop being conditioned. That is what they want.

Yep. Just like Starbucks. One questionable incident about a black guy loitering in the establishment and next thing you know the entire company shuts down for a day of training. Lack of “training” is a convenient red herring to cover up all sorts of underlying problems.

At the FBI, the problem was Obama bringing Chicago thug / machine politics to th efederal government. Look at the FBI, the CIA, the IRS, the head of the Consumer Protection bureau, all the unaccountable “czars”doing Lord knows what. It wasn’t a “lack of training” it was the INTENTIONAL and PLANNED weaponization of these agencies against us, THE PEOPLE. It was Obama creating a US Stasi. His next step would have been creating our own Lubyanka on the Washington Mall.

“Training” — that is just a coverup whitewash word so they don’t have to name these internal enemies of US and the U.S.

I wonder if national politics are perilous enough for Rush to break his longstanding position of not endorsing candidates and help DJT maintain the House and Senate?

Everyone in the FBI, every single person, needs to be fired today and the agency rebuilt from the ground up. There are some good agents but we have no way of telling the good from the bad now so they all have to go. Its a corrupt, dirty group now and action needs to be taken immediately.

They’re is always a ton of stalked indictments. I’ve been hearing this story for years now. You’re dreaming of you think those are a bunch of big name demos.

There’s too much focus on the wrong things. Investigating what “happenED” is important and it would be great to assign blame and punishment.

But we need fixes for the future and that requires huge changes, not just blame and punishment. There are two broad areas that need to be fixed

1) The FBI and DOJ and others have extra-constitutional capabilities. They can get authority to use these with FISA but can also use them WITHOUT authority.

2) The FBI and DOJ and others resist oversight. They are doing everything they can to keep congress from finding out what happen in the past. They certainly have no intention of allowing oversight in the future (e.g. decide not to inform congress of major investigations as they are supposed to like they did with Trump).

If they can’t fix the second (oversight) the first (extra-constitutional capabilities) must be taken away.

Nobody (Dems, Mueller, etc) says that the capabilities were not used, or cannot be used for politics. They only say these were not used this way this time.

The past doesn’t really matter other than the fact that these are no longer hypothetical concerns that us paranoid Constitutionalists warn about and everyone else says cannot happen. Whether they were misused for political purposes or legitimate concerns of national security, they CAN be used for political purposes. And everyone outside the intelligence community should want that fixed.
