'The FBI is Trumpland': anti-Clinton atmosphere spurred leaks, sources say

[Frankfooter]

“The FBI is Trumpland,” said one current agent.

This atmosphere raises major questions about how Comey and the bureau he is slated to run for the next seven years can work with Clinton should she win the White House.

The currently serving FBI agent said Clinton is “the antichrist personified to a large swath of FBI personnel,” and that “the reason why they’re leaking is they’re pro-Trump.”

The agent called the bureau “Trumplandia,” with some colleagues openly discussing voting for a GOP nominee who has garnered unprecedented condemnation from the party’s national security wing and who has pledged to jail Clinton if elected.

Now you've got both candidates attacking the FBI.

The FBI is now investigating itself over twitter notices.

Trump has support in the FBI ranks? It must be all those uneducated high school dropout White males that work at the FBI.

As usual the Guardian views the world through its leftist glasses.

"Deep antipathy to Hillary Clinton" does not mean support for Donald Trump, rather it means what it says deep antipathy to Hillary Clinton who a great many people including at the FBI regard as getting away with things that the normal American would have been prosecuted, convicted, and imprisoned for.

And we all trust and believe she's now being treated exactly the way any 'ordinary' American would be. Just as she was when all the evidence trails dead-ended and the investigation was paused. Of course there are those —even on TERB — who believe that having been a swivel servant means she's no longer entitled to the freedoms and rights of what you term 'normal' Americans, but none of those voices have any public presence, do they?

Trump doesn't believe US intelligence agencies reports.
He was briefed on Russian hacking and still claims Russians are innocent.

On October 7, the Obama administration finally broke its silence on America’s knowledge about the Russian campaign. “These thefts and disclosures are intended to interfere with the U.S. election process,” Jeh Johnson, the secretary of homeland security, and James Clapper, the director of national intelligence, said in a statement. “We believe, based on the scope and sensitivity of these efforts, that only Russia’s senior-most officials could have authorized these activities.” The White House stated that Obama was considering a “proportional response”—a statement that suggested the United States would be launching cyberattacks against Russia. (Shortly afterward, Ukrainian hackers began posting emails and other documents obtained from inside the Kremlin, although it is not clear if this effort was done in coordination with the American government.)

Less than two weeks later—despite his intelligence briefings about the Russian hacking and disinformation campaign, despite the public statements by top American intelligence officials confirming its existence and despite the White House proclamation that it was preparing to respond to the unprecedented interference by Moscow—Trump once again dismissed all of the evidence and came to Russia’s defense. Intelligence and other government officials in Britain were horrified, according to one person with direct knowledge of the reaction there.
