The FBI can't be pleased that the Director was fired in such a disrespectful and humiliating way. Surely there are some very pissed Trump-haters in the FBI, who soon will be leaking like sieves. haha starting with Comey when he testifies again to the senate.

(116,003 posts)In fact, he (Mark Felt) was the Associate Director at the time he was leaking information about the Watergate investigations to Bob Woodward. After J. Edgar Hoover died, Felt was passed over for the Director position, which was instead given to Patrick Gray. He wrote in a memoir: "The record amply demonstrates that President Nixon made Pat Gray the Acting Director of the FBI because he wanted a politician in J. Edgar Hoover's position who would convert the Bureau into an adjunct of the White House machine." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Felt
I wonder if there's anyone in the FBI right now who is worried that it might be converted "into an adjunct of the White House machine."
