Former FBI official arrest, faces charges of violating Russian sanctions

The FBI and the Secret Service have dropped to an all time low. This is heart breaking for the American public because we need to trust these organizations and they have fallen so far in the last couple of decades. They used to be beyond reproach, but now, who can trust them? At least someone somewhere had the spine to stand up and do something. I feel this is just the tip of the iceberg.

HE DIDNT DO THIS ALONE, FAR FROM IT ARREST HIS FBI BUDDIES

[TrudySchwartzBurrill]

Keep them coming, take down the politicized FBI.

[TheLandSurveyor]

Check his garage for classified documents.

[rayreedy]

Now we are talking. Arrest these fed agents for their crimes

[thebluestig]

Arresting the little guys while the Big Guy gets 10% . . .

[joann]

It just amazes me how much people are willing to ruin their entire life for money.

[randyscrafts]

Depending what they find, this guy could get charged with treason.

[ody]

The fact that he was a top FBI agent shows u how deep the corruption goes.... All the way to the top

[nelsonvega]

Some people have a thing for money …and they lose their dignity and self respect……

[annafontenot]

Don't stop with him! Keep digging, I'm sure there's alot more of them!

[firstlast]

Why would MSNBC suddenly start telling the news that up to now, they have been carrying water for Joe, the DOJ and the FBI??? I can’t imagine why they would do that😊

[chinacatne]

Gee ... are we supposed to be surprised anymore ?!??? Give me a break ~

[johndodge]

Another black eye 👁 for the FBI that the public knows about

[islandersfan]

Hilarious how these people make these kind of choices and think they’ll never get busted

Eric Trump in 2014-"We don't rely on American banks. We get all the funding we need out of Russia."

[scottb]

It's not shocking to most of us who knew and have been saying how corrupt these people are!

[berthabridges]

This is why it's said, The 'love' of money is the root of all evil." Not money itself, which is just an inanimate object. Money is a good thing in the hand's of those who understand that they were 'blessed to be a blessing.' "

[nonterrestriaI]

What's the punishment for Treason again?.. 🤔

[douglaskirk]

All of this stuff surfacing is EXACTLY Why they have always gone so hard against Trump.
