The KGB became the FSB after the Communists fell. What will the FBI become in the Trump-Putin post-democratic America? Can you imagine a President Trump, Attorney's General Chris Christie, and Director of FBI Rudy Guliiani?

the dread is settling in ...
ignorance is the enemy
without equality there is no liberty
America can survive bad policy, but not destruction of our Democratic institutions

I am 66% certain Clinton will win, but I'm dreading the prospect of a Clinton presidency with a GOP -controlled Senate.
A well reasoned argument is like a diamond: impervious to corruption and crystal clear - and infinitely rarer.
Here, as elsewhere, people are outraged at what feels like a rigged game -- an economy that won't respond, a democracy that won't listen, and a financial sector that holds all the cards. - Robert Reich

Clinton will win. Senate is a tougher call but not too difficult to achieve. Dread is if she doesn't do what she has promised with respect to the progressive agenda.

But Wall Street is terrified Trump might win: Haven't you been looking at the stock market? They like stability, and that is Clinton all the way. Trump is a loose cannon, as far as they are concerned.
Same with the usual big Republican donors (the American Ruling Class): They are not supporting Trump. You combine both of these and Trump loses.
Now why would a majority of FBI agents side against The Rich and Wall Street? You really think FBI agents are supporting Putin's candidate?
When Clinton becomes President, the FBI purge will begin. Agents who broke the law to hurt her will be quietly escorted out, and I bet it is only a small percentage.

What the 2016 election has demonstrated in spades is that the Republican party has no values or principles. It really is as simple as that. Donald Trump was nominated by that party on a platform that they disagree with, and still the majority of the leadership (and followership) still accepts him. There is a HUGE slice of the middle of America ripe for a candidate with real values and sensible plans, but that candidate will be destroyed by the party Apparatchiks.

Just announced: FBI/Comey closes inquiry, no change in recommendation. Clinton cleared. CNN. It begs the question: why say anything at all?

Clinton is powerfully back on message. I can actually envision her as President. On MSNBC live, now.

And now the FBI is suddenly NOT filled with Trump partisans? Like I said, there are surely some, but most FBI agents like their jobs and pensions too much to get involved in something so illegal.
