Simple. The US Federal Bureau of Investigation was at one time the creame of the crop of Federal Law Enforcement. 1960s to the early 2000's, their press releases spoke for themselves. People whom were not only lawyers and accountants signed up, individuals with PHDs, and Master Degrees were on board the bureau. Success after success. White Collar crime was stamped out. Their Counter Intelligence Division was arresting cold war spys like the road runner burn the road in cartoons. They did not have to advertise, everyone and their brother had a set goal of becoming an FBI Agent.
Now, thanks to former US Attorney General Lynch, James Comey and others, the reputation and the credibility of the FBI is forever deeply scratched. And more than likely, some FBI Agents will have their cases / arrests reviewed.
A sad, sad year for Americans, and a incredible Federal Law Enforcement Agency. Mismanagement, poor leadership and a host of other problems has severely and maybe irreparably damaged the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
