—You're an FBI agent. You sit and watch television night after night, as a Presidential candidate who should have been brought up on felony charges, and thereby disqualified and scuttled, moves through the land and makes promises about what she'll do as the next leader of the nation. You sit and watch, deepening your grasp on how the system actually works—

How much blood is boiling among FBI agents?

Sharyl Attkisson, former CBS News investigative reporter, has the story:

"'Many people at the FBI are outraged, but cannot speak out,' one insider told me," Attkisson writes.

We're talking about FBI Director James Comey's recommendation that Hillary Clinton not be prosecuted in her email scandal. This, after thousands of hours of FBI work scouring the emails connected to Hillary's illegal private server.

Here are several other comments FBI professionals made, off the record, to Attkisson, with my remarks in parentheses ():

"It appears to me they made a deal not to record [the key FBI-Hillary] interview."

(This failure, as I wrote, means the interview is lost forever. No stenographic transcript was executed, either. FBI agents' notes on the interview are useless. They can never be used against Hillary as ironclad evidence in a court of law.)

"Director Comey seems to have taken on responsibilities far beyond the FBI's purview—he assumed the duties of the Agent, US Attorney and Grand Jury."

(Indeed he did. He functioned as FBI Director, Grand Jury, Attorney General, and appellate judge. In this last role, he knowingly misinterpreted the Federal Penal Code, which clearly states that gross negligence in the handling of classified material is a crime, regardless of intent. Hillary was, at the very least, grossly negligent. FBI Director Comey acknowledged this.)

"It appears no Grand Jury was empaneled for this investigation. This is absurd, Grand Juries are used in nearly all criminal investigations."

"Even in the most straightforward of cases, the time span between a target interview [of Hillary] and prosecution opinion [on whether to file charges] takes weeks, not days. If a good interview were conducted [with Clinton] on Saturday, there would have been leads or other new pieces of information to verify or investigate prior to any conclusion to the case."

(In other words, the fix was already in.)
