The FBI leadership under the Obama Administration took many actions that deviated from standard practice [i.e. were corrupt and criminal] in their efforts to exonerate Hillary from her crimes and then spy and frame candidate and then President Trump. Today current members of the FBI are embarrassed to even turn on their TV’s as a result.
Time magazine of all places reported recently about the many efforts the FBI took related to Hillary exoneration and then the Trump framing. These corrupt and criminal actions have taken a desperate toll on the current members of the FBI –
In normal times, the televisions are humming at the FBI’s 56 field offices nationwide, piping in the latest news as agents work their investigations. But these days, some agents say, the TVs are often off to avoid the crush of bad stories about the FBI itself. The bureau, which is used to making headlines for nabbing crooks, has been grabbing the spotlight for unwanted reasons: fired leaders, texts between lovers and, most of all, attacks by President Trump. “I don’t care what channel it’s on,” says Tom O’Connor, a veteran investigator in Washington who leads the FBI Agents Association. “All you hear is negative stuff about the FBI … It gets depressing.”
Of course the employees of the FBI are in a funk, their fearless and corrupt leaders, as well as leaders in Obama’s corrupt DOJ, went to extravagant links to exonerate the obvious criminal actions of Hillary Clinton, and then to do all they could to prevent candidate Trump from winning an election. Then once the election was won by President Trump, they went to unheard of depths of deceit and corruption to attempt to remove him from office.
4 – FBI wasn’t adequately investigating “high-risk” employees who failed polygraph tests (but, in fact, putting them in charge of high-profile investigations, like Peter Strzok who failed his poly). In one instance, an FBI IT specialist with top-secret security clearance failed four polygraph tests and admitted to having created a fictitious Facebook account to communicate with a foreign national, but received no disciplinary action for that.

Wow. It seems as though if one wants to commit crimes and not be prosecuted for those crimes, the best thing to do is to get hired on at the FBI.

Let's see what the IG report and Huber's office does on lying to the FBI. Dont forget that is why McCabe was fired - for being less than candid in questions asked AKA lying to the FBI blatantly or by omission of fact.

The problem is whether this is a big issue or not. What does it mean as to whether inappropriate actions happened or not. How does someone on the right see it as a big foul and someone on the left say no big deal. We all on both sides would see robbing a 7/11 as the same thing, so how do we get to that same point with something like this. The OP makes it sound like a big deal, but then the FBI internal audits has not supported that most likely, and it seems neither has Congress on any large scale.

The op source correctly points out that, using your analogy, robbing a 7/11 is bad if you are a Republican/Conservative/Trump Supporter and robbing a 7/11 is ok if you are a Democrat/Liberal/Never Trumper.
That is what the source pointed out. A major double standard when it comes to application of the law and how dangerous a 2 tiered system can be.

McCabe lied under oath 4 times - nothing
Flynn is accused of lying to the FBI - plea deal

The legal system has become infected with political partisanship, which in my opinion, is a direct threat to this nations security.

But the reality is both sides DO see robbing a 7/11 as bad, and both sides can agree on 1000s of events as bad, but here we are and we can't say if XYZ happens it is bad. Also I'm not ready to suggest the FBI internal affairs is biased...
So what gives...is it bad or is it just the right making it look like something bad...
I don't know...

In order to support that conclusion I would want to see all the paperwork involved. Until that happens all he is charged with was 1 count of lying to the FBI. We can also use Manafort and his charges and then ask why the Podestas werent charged considering at the time they worked together and committed the same crimes.

Absolutely, it is a direct threat to our national security. What happens when roughly half the country has written off the US legal system as hopelessly corrupt and partisan? We're going to see the rise of vigilante justice, possibly along with an attempt to form some kind of alternative to the FBI. It's going to be really ugly.
