FBI Agents Unhappy

I've been wondering when this story would surface. Today the New York Post carries a story with a tantalizing title:
FBI agents are ready to revolt over the cozy Clinton probe
The Director of the Bureau is a political appointee. Most of the cadre are career LEOs and, at least historically, justifiably proud of their organization's reputation for probity and honor.

It isn't difficult to imagine many Special Agents suffered gastric distress and/or rage upon hearing Director Comey's non-indictment of Clinton, plus his deceitful memo to all hands defending the decision. A great many agents must share the scorn folks in Congress have heaped upon his flaccid performance.

If you've spent your career trying to live up to high ideals, having your boss sell out those ideals has got to infuriate you. Especially mere days after his boss meets "socially" with the perp's husband on an airport tarmac.

I'm waiting for recent retirees to speak up, as they've less to lose.
