James Campbell, an assistant to FBI Director James Comey, has decided to leave the institution his boss and other upper-echelon officials have corrupted. This deep state martyr penned an op-ed lamenting “politicalization” by a bunch of dastardly Republicans hellbent on destroying his beloved bureau. Here is an excerpt from his op-ed in the New York Times:
After more than a decade of service, which included investigating terrorism, working to rescue kidnapping victims overseas and being special assistant to the director, I am reluctantly turning in my badge and leaving an organization I love. Why? So I can join the growing chorus of people who believe that the relentless attacks on the bureau undermine not just America’s premier law enforcement agency but also the nation’s security. My resignation is painful, but the alternative of remaining quiet while the bureau is tarnished for political gain is impossible.
A small number of my current and retired colleagues have said that we should simply keep our heads down until the storm passes. I say this with the greatest respect: They are wrong. If those who know the agency best remain silent, it will be defined by those with partisan agendas.
Efforts to defend against collusion will only lead to corrosion if partisans succeed in convincing the American people their FBI cannot be trusted. nyti.ms/2FEztBy
What he really means is an attack on his boss and fellow deep staters. He continues:
A small number of my current and retired colleagues have said that we should simply keep our heads down until the storm passes. I say this with the greatest respect: They are wrong. If those who know the agency best remain silent, it will be defined by those with partisan agendas.
F.B.I. agents are dogged people who do not care about the direction of political winds. But to succeed in their work, they need public backing. Scorched-earth attacks from politicians with partisan goals now threaten that support, raising corrosive doubts about the integrity of the F.B.I. that could last for generations.
As opposed to the scorched-earth attacks by your boss and other Democratic Party operatives that infest your beloved bureau? But of course, Mr. Campbell has an excuse for them too.
Do F.B.I. agents make mistakes? You bet. They are human beings. Because they are not infallible, the bureau is subject to a robust system of checks and balances, including its internal affairs division, the Department of Justice inspector general, congressional committees and the courts. These watchdogs ensure that personal opinions regarding politics, causes and candidates do not affect investigations. The system also provides an outlet for any investigator who suspects malfeasance on the part of the agency’s leadership to make those concerns known.
Really? I don’t know how many times we’ve watched Obama’s bureaucrats stonewall, obfuscate and outright ignore congressional oversight committees and their request. Attorney General Eric Holder was held in contempt of Congress for these very actions and he later bragged about it. He wore it as a badge of honor.
As for the Department of Justice and the judiciary… please. Once again, these institutions are infested with progressives whose only regard for the rule of law is the one that advances their agenda.
Mr. Campbell don’t sit there and lecture us on the infallibility of the system when the previous administration, and your boss, actively aided and abetted Hillary Clinton by ignoring her violations of the Espionage Act while at the same time spying on her political opponents.
It will be a monumental task to repair the damage progressives have inflicted upon our institutions. People need to be fired and others like Attorney General Loretta Lynch, James Comey and all the other confederates who conspired to violate the 4th Amendment rights of American citizens and used their office to undermine a presidential election should face criminal charges. And I wouldn’t be surprised that James Campbell, an assistant to FBI Director James Comey, is complicit in these same nefarious and subversive activities.
