the same ones that caught texting about insurance policies against Trump, and had multiple people fired for abuse of power, corruption, fraud and lies?
Remember the text about "We'll stop [Trump]"? That was hidden from Congressional investigators by the FBI, after multiple requests for information. Then the texts were lost, and unrecoverable. Only after a stink and later investigations did it come out, proving the FBI was lying to congress. So not trusting the FBI after they lied to congress and the public about this stuff, isn't just prudent, it's proven to be wise.
And finally the narrative is switching to Comey was at fault. Not for protecting Hillary from Crimes, or allowing the DOJ to illegally share information during an investigation, in tarmac meetings about "grandkids".
So if you always or never trust the agencies, then you're a loon (rube or conspiracy kook). Follow the evidence and behavior. The evidence around this whole thing has been so tainted by the Obama administrations abuses of power, and using cronies to do their bidding, that you'd be fool (or a Democrat) to blindly trust them on this.
For 50 years, "Democrats" have been telling us not to trust the "intelligence community"
Eisenhower's 1961"Military industrial complex" speech has long been a staple of "The Left's" argument that we should fear the people who have nothing to gain from peace and everything to gain from war. (Even though it doesn't mean what they think).
Hollywood made countless movies telling us how rotten and corrupt they all were - "Falcon and the Snowman", "Enemy of the State", "Rendition", "Three Days of the Condor", "Missing" about the CIA's involvement in the Chilean coup, and the list goes on.
Heroes of the left like Noam Chomsky were celebrated for railing against America's subterfuge around the world.
But NOW, suddenly, the left has totally reversed course. The "intelligence community" is beyond reproach, totally trustworthy (even if they lie for a living, and got caught lying over these issues), they are the paragon of virtue. If you don't question the Democrats sincerity, then you're a rube. And in a few years, we'll rub their noses in this, when the intelligence agencies show something they don't agree with -- like abandoning Vietnam will result in millions dead in Cambodia, Thailand, and Laos. (Something the Democrats have never owned responsibility for).
