  1. Yes sir, there is new sheriff in town.

    Both the FBI and the MSM lost the public’s confidence by their shenanigans since 2015 and Trump’s arrival on the political scene. Since the days of J Edgar, the FBI’s relationship with the media was cultivated and encouraged by management for several reasons: 1) to heighten interest in the “red menace,” 2) to publicize important cases to help capture fugitives, 3) to make the Bureau look good. As technology advanced and improved, the first one became less important and the second one, likewise, became less important. This left self-aggrandizement as the only rational reason for the FBI to continue cultivating the media. And yes, through all this, the idea of scoring additional resources for a popular agency was always present.

    Well, Trump pulled the curtain back and lo and behold, the wizard was just an old man pulling levers to make the audience think something special was happening. Jim Comey sank the Democrats’ dream for Hillary and can never be un-excommunicated for doing so. To make amends, he tried to do the same to Trump and was summarily fired by Trump. Wray will experience the same treatment pretty soon.

    The FBI’s past closeness to the media for reasons one and two (supra) now have come back to haunt them because they are well-known by their media pals and some, perhaps most by now, have realized that like the American public, they have been had by these little old men behind the curtain pulling levers that mean not what they claim.

    When you peel away the ideologic covering that most media types have toward the left, you may occasionally reach some common point that drove them to journalism in the first place. Most didn’t become cub reporters for the Daily Planet because they wanted to ruin the planet. That spark of decency is now manifesting itself as we begin to see long-standing leftwing hacks start to sound plausible and reasonable. Not all, for sure, but some.

    They know what’s coming and especially if Patel gets the FBI director’s seat. It may take Trump cutting a deal or two with Democrats because of the handful of RINOs left in the Senate. I think there’s only a few jobs that he’s willing to go to the mat to preserve and Patel’s is one of them.
