James Comey's decision to revive the investigation of Hillary Clinton's email server and her handling of classified material came after he could no longer resist mounting pressure by mutinous agents in the FBI, including some of his top deputies, according to a source close to the embattled FBI director.
'The atmosphere at the FBI has been toxic ever since Jim announced last July that he wouldn't recommend an indictment against Hillary,' said the source, a close friend who has known Comey for nearly two decades, shares family outings with him, and accompanies him to Catholic mass every week.
'Some people, including department heads, stopped talking to Jim, and even ignored his greetings when they passed him in the hall,' said the source. 'They felt that he betrayed them and brought disgrace on the bureau by letting Hillary off with a slap on the wrist.'
According to the source, Comey fretted over the problem for months and discussed it at great length with his wife, Patrice.
He told his wife that he was depressed by the stack of resignation letters piling up on his desk from disaffected agents. The letters reminded him every day that morale in the FBI had hit rock bottom.

'The people he trusts the most have been the angriest at him,' the source continued. 'And that includes his wife, Pat. She kept urging him to admit that he had been wrong when he refused to press charges against the former secretary of state.

You made the bed so sleep in it.
Former FBI agents have to work, too. Going public would damage their prospects.
And, revealing confidential information from an investigation could be grounds for forfeiting their pension.
Slap on the wrist??? Is that a euphemism for the kiss on both butt cheeks that he gave her?
Gee, do you think Comey will be able to figure out by the description who it was?
Good points.
They are not in denial or ignoring. Rather they are in panic mode.
I am confident that I am right.
Good that some FBI agents have the integrity to submit resignation letters. Unfortunately, the only resignation that would really matter is Comey’s. He’s now and always will be a dirty cop.
For the zillionth time...FBI agents do not jump in front of microphones, post on Twitter; they do not seek publicity or the limelight. Instead, they dig deeper, offer up more hard evidence and work quietly under the radar.
Including ones who have resigned?
Didn’t Benedict Arnold have a particularly nagging wife?
I wonder when the NY Times will report this? /s
What did J. Edgar Hoover know, and when did he know it? Who put out the hit of J. Edgar’s reputation?
Spin.
Didn’t Ted Turner pretty much say the same thing in 1980? But he ended up more liberal than many of the then media stars so admired by the American people.
Total smoking bs. A placed article.
Oh yeah they are in panic mode. Thats why they are ignoring it. The stories we are seeing about this are foreign press.
When is one of these people going to hold a press conference and announce:
My name is XXX XXXX. Up until 12:00 today, I was the Assistant Director of the FBI in charge of Yada yada Yada.
After a long and exceptionally difficult decision process, I personally submitted my resignation to my old friend Jim Comney today. The reason is very simple. After being intimately involved with the investigations of Mrs. Clinton’s emails and her foundation, I have come to realize two things beyond any doubt whatsoever.
First, Mrs. Clinton jeopardized national security and the lives of all Americans, especially our men and women in uniform by her use of a private, illegal, unsecure computer server. Her email system was so risky, the Russians, the Chinese, the Iranians, even a 14 year-old computer geek working from his bedroom could have, and probably did break into her system.
Make no mistake, Americans could have died because of this, and despite her claims otherwise, Mrs. Clinton tried to use every legal trick to try to ensure we, and you, never learned was in those emails.
Secondly, the Clinton Foundation is, simply put, one huge scam. It’s official name is the Clinton Global Initiative. The name is accurate. The initiate helped the Clintons scam hundreds of millions of collars for personal gain, and they did it on a global scale.
Simply put, while Mrs. Clinton was Secretary of State, America’s interests were for sale to the highest bidder, no make that the highest briber.
As one example, in exchange for a %500,000 payoff disguised as a ‘speaking fee” Mrs. Clinton helped the Russian government buy America’s uranium mine....
And it gets worse. I’ll be releasing more details in the coming days, because in reality, it’s even worse than I have just described above.
I’ll take a few questions.......
Resignation letters piled on a desk have not yet been processed. Think of it as a looming walkout.
“I hate newspapermen. They come into camp and pick up their camp rumors and print them as facts. I regard them as little more than spies, which, in truth, they are. If I had my choice I would kill every reporter in the world, but I am sure we would be getting press dispatches from Hell before breakfast.” William Tecumseh Sherman
