Title: ABSCAM Agents Letter to FBI
Post by: Ben on April 15, 2016, 09:16:12 PM
I thought this was interesting. A letter from former FBI agents that led the ABSCAM sting and their comparison of ABSCAM to the Clinton investigation.  ABSCAM happened when I was a teenager, so I had forgotten all about it and had to refresh myself. The article and letter make a good point regarding status not helping several high ranking politicians during the sting. Also interesting was their concern related to AG Lynch being part of the process with Clinton.

Everyone I have heard comment pretty much assumes this is all political.  I think the reputation of the FBI and federal prosecutors went out the window a long time ago.

Too many people in politics (and voters) for whom the ends justify the means.

Good, 79, told Fox News by phone that the Clinton email case boils down to whether the U.S. is a nation of laws, where all citizens are equal under the law, or there is a different set of rules for the powerful.

I guess he didn't get the 'fundamentally change America' memo.
