FBI AGENT RATINGS OF COMEY--CONTRA TRUMPS PRETEXT FOR FIRING COMEY
One of the reasons Trump gave for firing FBI Directors James Comey was that he was doing a bad job at the FBI and personnel were unhappy. This was a false pretext. The real reason was the Comey refused to pledge loyalty and lay off investigation into the Michael Flynn scandal.
"FBI agents gave former Director James Comey consistently high marks in an internal survey, according to records released Wednesday, counter to President Donald Trump’s claims that he fired Comey because agents no longer had confidence in him.
The FBI released the results of its so-called “climate survey” from 2013–17 in response to a public records request filed by the New York Times.
According to Comey’s 2017 survey results, employees gave him a 4.47 rating when asked if they had “trust and confidence” in Comey as a leader, and gave him a 4.48 rating when asked if they would choose to work for him again. The FBI noted in its records release that “scores between 3.81 and 5 indicates success in those areas.” . .
Comey’s scores fluctuated slightly over his three-year tenure as FBI director and were at their lowest in the 2017 survey, but never dropped below the bureau’s defined range of “success.

First the Democrats wanted Comey fired--but then after he was fired, they whine against that decision. Hypocritical.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't matter. Comey has been a water-boy for the Clintons since back in the last century. Best if he and his lying ways faded into obscurity.

Why did Trump reappoint him? Your account doesn't wash. Why not address the issue in the post?
ReplyDeleteI've given up on trying to figure out why Trump does anything. Once he flip-flopped on dealings with Russia and other foreign policy views of the campaign trail, he became irrelevant to my own life.
ReplyDeleteHow/why does "http/talking points" have any more credibility than Trump?
Basically, I'm just flat fed-up with being lied to by government people. E.g., when a computer professional explains the technical reasons that the claim of Russian hacking of the DNC is BS, I'll believe him before I'll believe the politically-motivated mouth music to which we've been subjected.

And why trust the FBI? Their track record in recent decades is underwhelming...

Trump is even more of a liar than Hillary. You’d believe a politician before a respected law enforcement officer such as Comey. Check out any fact check website of your choice and check out Trump’s record.
ReplyDeleteYou can’t figure Trump out because he has no philosophy other than his own big ego.
The article of FBI agents on Comey is available on a number of newspaper sites. I just cited that one to present a variety of sources. There are some sources out there that are not fake news. Google it yourself. If you doubt anything I cite, take the time to check it out. Don’t just dismiss it because it doesn’t agree with your preconceptions. You don't trust me to use reliable info?
