All this report says is that the FBI agents were told to focus on the one shooter, we discussed that here, at least we were open to the possibility. Some agents were suppressed from investigating further into it, sounds normal for the FBI. The bosses at these big agencies are not that smart, they consistantly mess up because of their big heads. The people doing the work are better, but remember, they are not the ones running the agency. It is like that in all government agencies, if an employee is worthless and a problem at the bottom, give him/her a promotion, they want people like that to use to cover up mistakes by those up high, scapegoats.
27/ But here's what you *really* need to understand: the FBI quickly became aware of this website—at the highest levels—and *acknowledged*, internally, that the people behind True Pundit had access to intel from *current* FBI agents. Even *James Comey* was aware of True Pundit.
29/ Documents acquired via FOIA requests by (of all organizations) Judicial Watch reveal that Andrew McCabe, Comey's deputy, believed that True Pundit had "heavyweight" sources within the FBI. While Comey was skeptical, he *acknowledged* the sources were *definitely* FBI sources.
30/ When McCabe forwarded a True Pundit story to Comey on October 24, 2016, calling its source on Clinton "heavyweight," Comey demurred, saying "This still reads to me like someone not involved in the investigation at all, maybe somebody who heard rumors."

So the supporting "evidence" for the unsourced and unattributed claims in the OP is a guy on twitter making unsourced and unattributed claims?

I did read the link. And the thread you authored. Who the guy is doesn't make what he claims any more or less true, nor does it make his unsourced and unaccredited claims any more or less true.

I never heard of that principle. I have noticed where the owner of a business would promote a worker if he was not able to get along with the other workers. I think it is to keep a divide between manangement and the workers myself, give that guy a promotion and he does not want to go down the ladder and work for a living again and he/she will be easier to control and make them not feel guilty about handing down punnishment to regular workers. If the person is a good kiss *** then they can be further promoted. There is a name for this but not the Peter principle.
