The FBI is a corrupt institution. That has been proven any number
of times.
Once they got Hoover out of there and actually started following the
laws about appointing directors, that should have changed.
It didn't.
You are right, Janet Reno's FBI was as bad as Hoover's. I suppose it
came from the "Miami Vice" thug mentality she brought with her from
south Florida.
Please...there have been "problems" with the FBI since its inception.
Your attempts to pin them on AG's appointed by Democrats is absurd.
Look up John Connally and John Morris, for example. Both were
big-time corrupt FBI officials during the Reagan-GHW Bush
administrations. There also have been massive examples of evidence
tampering and false testimony on the FBI's part.

You are right. Perhaps we should blame FDR for starting this corrupt
enterprise ;-)

I suppose it just demonstrates the adage that absolute power corrupts
absolutely.

It simply points out the danger of accepting what the FBI says at face
value. Of course, the same caveats apply to local police forces and
district attorneys. Basically, in this country, if you are accused of a
crime, unless you have really deep pockets to buy the services of a
top-notch criminal lawyer, you likely will be found guilty, whether or
not you are. Police departments and prosecutors have proven themselves
over and over to be at least as corrupt as criminals.

Mu philosophy is don't trust anyone in uniform. They're out to get you.
