It just seems as if every agency in our government has been infused with political operatives. We were supposed to be protected from that by the Hatch Act<\/a>, but somehow it hasn’t worked that way. Washington<\/a> has become a sea of people with subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) political alliances<\/a> that have nothing to do with the good of the country.<\/p>\n

The Federalist Papers<\/a> posted an article yesterday about the investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election. It is my personal opinion that this investigation will continue until the political left finds someone they can accuse of something. Since they have been throwing accusations around for six months and have found nothing, this may take a while. It may cost us a lot of money to go after some person who did something so horrible as to forget a phone call he made a year ago.<\/p>\n

The article states:<\/p>\n

As the investigation into Russia\u2019s meddling in the 2016 election continues, we see yet another potential issue; this time, it appears that the investigators, the acting FBI director at that, may have personal conflicts of interest that could taint the integrity of the investigation.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The story was revealed by Sara Carter and John Solomon of Circa<\/a>. They revealed that Senator Chuck Grassley is demanding the DOJ Inspector General investigate the acting FBI director for potential conflict of interest violations.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article goes on to explain that the U.S. Office of Special Counsel is investigating FBI Director Andrew McCabe for violating the Hatch Act, which prohibits certain federal employees, including the FBI, from engaging in political campaign activity. The news source Circa<\/a> revealed that McCabe was engaging in political campaigning for his wife in a Virginia state senate race.<\/p>\n

The latest problem with Director McCabe is his involvement in an FBI matter involving General Flynn.<\/p>\n

The article at The Federalist Papers<\/a> reports:<\/p>\n

The Chairman (Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles Grassley) is also asking the Inspector General to investigate the ongoing sexual discrimination lawsuit filed by former FBI Special Agent Robyn Gritz, which named McCabe and other FBI officials, who she accused of impeding her work within the bureau.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Gritz\u2019s complaint was supported by then former Defense Intelligence Agency director Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn. Flynn, who went on to become President Trump\u2019s National Security Advisor, was subsequently fired after highly classified information regarding a conversation he had with Russian Ambassador Sergei Kislyac was leaked to the media.<\/strong><\/p>\n

There is definitely a question as to whether Director McCabe has a conflict of interest regarding the Russian investigation.<\/p>\n

The article at The Federalist Papers concludes:<\/p>\n

The question now, is does the acting FBI director need to recuse himself from presiding over the Russia investigation because of the plausible conflict of interest? Not to mention the fact that McCabe is under investigation for a potential violation of the Hatch Act, it seems that something is very amiss in the acting FBI director\u2019s discretion, going all the way back to 2015 (that is, what we have on record at least).<\/strong><\/p>\n

Is there any untainted, apolitical person we can put in charge of the FBI?<\/p>\n
