- CamperBob2 4y agoI'm not sure what to think about that. Do you see it as a sign of corruption of the FBI in general, or of one official being paid by Russia-affiliated actors to look the other way? How does it tie in with what we know about the pressure from the FBI's New York field office to reopen the HRC email investigation right before the 2016 election? Comey was pretty sure that they were going to leak to the press if he didn't speak out himself. That does seem indicative of a rogue agency, but not exactly one that is pro-Democratic or pro-Clinton.
- mikeyouse 4y agoAside from apparently excusing evidence destruction, it's not even accurate. The FBI agent in question was was taking bribes from Oleg Deripaska, not "from Russia". Deripaska paid Trump's campaign manager, Paul Manafort, $10 million dollars and was receiving private briefings and confidential polling data from him. I really don't think it's a point in favor of "the FBI was out to get Trump" when one of the guys investigating the wrong-doing was being paid by one of the campaign's allies.
