Sorry, Joyce, but you have to be a Washington Post subscriber to read Rubin's piece. I do think SOME FBI agents might've been concerned about possible retaliation by trump or his political cronies, because he fired James Comey, even after Comey went after Hillary's emails again just prior to the 2016 election, which may have given trump the win, argh! Then he didn't like McCabe, who I liked a lot. trump screwed over McCabe by firing him a day b4 he earned his full retirement, and that is about as chickesh@t as a person can be. Andrew McCabe won his retirement after a lawsuit I believe, but still. The other concern though is that there are FBI trump loyalists in the ranks. That is not a pleasant thought. As for "not wanting to become a Banana Republic?" I think we are very close to being there Right Smack NOW! Changing subjects a bit, I am so pissed at the Repubs who went after Merrick Garland. All the insurrectionists chewed on him, and he held his own, but come on, Bill Barr NEVER once sat before an oversight committee. Hope they get him in the net, too. Hope the chickens are becoming acclimated to their new house. The end.

I had read enough tweets on Twitter prior to January 6,2021 to know there was going to be trouble at the Capitol. Why didn’t the FBI and Homeland Security prepare for what they knew might happen and after it did actually result in an assault on the peaceful transfer of power did they allow it to go on for hours? What was allowed to happen on Jan 6 was a disgraceful act of cowardice by the agencies employed to protect our country. Pure cowardice! Wray needs to be removed as does many of his agents and colleagues. They failed our country.
