The FBI is a threat to America and a corrupt organization.
WikiLeaks has been frowned upon for leaking information, and the FBI is doing the same, but even more dangerous because the FBI is operating under the guise of being American and intended to serve and protect American interests (which it fails to do every time it leaks classified information).
Do you have any better organization? If not, then what are you going to do about it?
Sniveling on a forum won't change anything.

I get it. You don't like the fact the President was caught in some hanky-panky. But that does not mean the FBI is not doing its job, or that it is un-American for doing the job.

They didn't 'leak' information. They investigated, found some things, and reported them to their higher-ups in the proper chain of authority. And at the top of that chain, the person responsible for it all issued the findings that were revealed.

If that's un-American in you mind, you need some medical attention. If you don't like being embarrassed by the actions of the guy you voted for, then do the right thing and regret your choice. If you are not embarrassed, then live with it anyway, because we didn't all vote for him, and there will always be something that has been covered up that becomes exposed.

No one is ever perfect except Jesus. And Trump is not Jesus.

Know the difference between a leak and a report? i think you do, but you want us all to walk in lockstep following your lead. Ain't ever gonna happen here.

apparently it isn't unusual for candidates to communicate with foreign govts.

In this case, the fact that there seems to be proof the Russians meddled in the USA elections, that communication from either candidate (but especially the one that benefited from the Russian meddling) has to be investigated. It is a little suspect.

A little? Since when do National Security Advisors meet with Russian diplomats?

These aren't FBI leaks, they are intelligence leaks. Whatever other beef you may have with the FBI, this isn't their doing.

Protecting and defending the Constitution and our laws is a noble pursuit.

Others prefer helping team Trump keep a lid on their illegal behavior.

Our government was well and truly broken all ready, but it's coming apart at the seams now. The intelligence agencies overthrowing president's is what happens in 3rd world countries.

The government censoring and controlling 100% of the message and trying to discredit their detractors happens in third world countries too. The intelligence agencies aren't overthrowing the President, they're ensuring the truth is out to those that can or may take action.
