FBI Thread:

I spent a lot of time over the last couple weeks discussing my #corruption book and rehashing recent FBI leadership missteps. Specifically those that set in motion a series of events that could only end with a reckoning of the #FBI. 2/19 It’s a frustrating conversation because I loved my time at the FBI and respect so many who continue to do great work there on behalf of the American people. But these leadership mistakes were obvious and avoidable. What decisions were glaringly obvious mistakes?

1/6 I want to talk about another trending topic of great importance to voters…#corruption! My book, PUBLIC CORRUPTION IN THE UNITED STATES: ANALYSIS OF A DESTRUCTIVE PHENOMENON, is out in hard and soft cover and ready to have its pages turned. I got my first copies today. Cont. 2/6 Special thanks to the great @JamesAGagliano for offering his wisdom and writing the Foreword. He always delivers exceptionally thoughtful law enforcement analysis in the most articulate way…and, on top of that, is just one heck of a nice guy. Cont.

A lot nobody wants to believe:

-Nobody wanted to believe Speaker #DennisHastert raped high school boys.

-Nobody wanted to believe longtime federal judge #JackCamp used heavy drugs and aided and abetted a felon and illegally gave a stripper his government-issued laptop.

-Nobody wanted to believe US Rep #EricMassa was groping young male staffers.

-Nobody wanted to believe US Rep #AnthonyWeiner was sexting a 15 yr old girl.

1/9 The administration has earned “anti-corruption points” without acknowledging our corruption and that is amazing. They even use key phrases like “national security threat” (which #corruption is), but do it while completely ignoring what makes it a national security threat. 2/9 #Corruption that occurs in Argentina by Argentinian officials is what creates the significant national security threat to Argentina. Corruption that occurs in the United States by US officials is what creates the significant national security threat to the US.

1/4 short thread
The fact that DOJ does not have a history of aggressively prosecuting people who ignore congressional subpoenas, regardless of which party is in the White House is very telling.

Offended legal “experts” and former federal prosecutors (you know who you are) clamoring for charges and acting like it all undermines rule of law if they aren’t charged are playing you.

1/9 Impeachment fun fact: sitting Congressman #AlceeHastings, participating in current #impeachment, was himself impeached. He was fed judge convicted on 8 articles related to bribery/lying under oath. 4-years later, he was in #Congress. Following is from Senate.gov: 2/9 “In 1981, a fed grand jury indicted Judge Hastings along with his friend William Borders, a D.C. lawyer. Hastings was charged with conspiracy/obstruction of justice for soliciting a $150,000 bribe in return for reducing the sentences of two mob-connected felons.” #corruption

1/25 Thread: “Jeffrey #Epstein and the Temple of Doom” - this is outside the norm for me as it’s more of a cultural observation than #FBI #LEanalysis, but it crossed into two areas in which I have interest (film and law enforcement), so I thought I’d share. @Tiff_FitzHenry 2/#StevenSpielberg and #GeorgeLucas had the likes of Epstein in mind when they forged one of the most iconic characters in cinema history, #IndianaJones.The full-time prof and part-time adventurer was handsome, charismatic, well-traveled and had abused at least one underage girl.
