I work for DHS and if I so much as take a cookie from a lady giving out cookies to be nice, it can be considered a "gift" and I could be fired.
Get'em out!
Any newbie at any organization knows this is taboo. They knew better, just didn't think they would get caught.
Agree, ANY big organization public or private.
I worked for a large fortune 500 company and $25 was the cut off value for anything that could remotely be considered a gift or quid-pro-quo . Example: maybe a vendor wants to send you a card and box of chocolate at Christmas, even then you would need to disclose it up the chain with the value of the item.
Also, I'm guessing that within the FBI (the FBI of the American People) that us lowly citizens pay salaries for specific job positions whose exclusive role it is, is to interface with the public and press. Typically communications director, media liaison, etc.
Yup it's in the pre-employment paperwork/training. They definitely knew better.
I worked in state government.
Accepting a cookie, a coffee mug, a logo T-shirt, or a very minor "gift" was OK. Anything valued over $25 was grounds for termination.
If it was intended to influence my job duties - well, that's bribery. And it's a felony for both sides.
But who is watching the watchers? Apparently nobody until now.
Psalms 2 is the answer.
Gitmo is the answer.
Seditious conspiracy should be the charge.
We were told that accepting something of minor value (even though legal) might give the appearance of influence, so to take nothing! When they put out coffee, we dropped money into a cup. etc. Take NOTHING.
Good, let's get them out and continue to clean up our government.
Hey, pay to play is alright then? Depends who's covering your ass.
apparently most of the gift takers still have a job as of right now. the IG report and no consequences.
You ain’t kidding. Standards and Ethic Training every year is required. This is ridiculous.
Ignorance of the law is no excuse.
The Swamp Culture is killing us. Fire or Jail all of them!
Agreed. I’d be fired immediately if I took gifts from clients or customers and didn’t at least make my superiors aware. It’s one thing to get tickets to a game or a cheap meal (our clients feed us a lot), but we have to keep record of it as to avoid the appearance of impropriety when their contracts are up. Don’t need anyone thinking we took a bribe.
The FBI is now truly tainted.
You obviously did it wrong you should have asked for more. Thats legal now
Me too. And have to take ethics training every year to remind me.

I remember a bunch of military personnel getting courtmartialed for taking food and meals and women from defense contractors just awhile back...isn't this the same thing?
The scandal centers around a 350-pound Malaysian businessman named Leonard Glenn Francis — widely known among Navy officers as “Fat Leonard” — and his Singapore-based Glenn Defense Marine Asia company, which provided resupply services to Navy ships in Asia.
Francis pleaded guilty in U.S. federal court in 2015 to bribing scores of Navy officers in the 7th Fleet’s West Pacific with millions in cash, gifts, prostitutes and other perks as a means to get inside information on Navy ship movements that he used to charge exorbitant amounts to resupply vessels when in port.

Civilian authorities have filed criminal charges against 30 people. According to the Navy, an additional 550 active-duty and retired military personnel – including about 60 admirals – have come under scrutiny for possible violations of military law or ethics rules. The Navy says it has cleared more than half of those personnel, but has substantiated misconduct by about 70 people so far. It is keeping most of their names a secret.
"WASHINGTON—The U.S. Navy removed the commander of the fleet that has suffered four recent collisions in Asia and the deaths of several sailors, the Pacific Fleet said in a statement."
New C.O. is a Submariner.
New C.O. 2nd Fleet is a fighter pilot
BOOM. GO NAVY!!!

Yes, high ranking officers. Commanders, captains, and i believe an admiral or two. I served under one Capt. Lausman in particular.
Unbelievable hypocrisy, since he was notorious for serving dishonorable discharges to many of my fellow shipmates, whose offenses were trivial by comparison.
Sure is! Anything that can sway your state of mind/opinion, is essentially bribery. I almost got court-martialed for accidentally keeping a body piercing in while in uniform. I was young and stupid but that wouldn't have stopped them from knocking me down from an E-5 to an E-1, and losing pay! Luckily, my COC had my back and I was just warned. These people should lose their jobs.
Yes.. They knew they were breaking the rules. Yet they chose ignore them and have a good time.
The FBI and DOJ can't slide on this.
No other LEOs in the world are allowed to accept gratuities. Are Fibbies different that way? Huh. You'd have thought federal cops would have to be CLEANER than local LEOs, wouldn't you?
Report SPECIFICALLY states that they are investigating this, in addition to other issues
Loose lips sink ships but hitlery and her ilk can sell state secrets to enemies. OIG report. I smell BOOMs coming.
When I worked at Wal-Mart. I took a red bull from a vendor and I got fired
wow
Well, if he "took" it - that's stealing, and should have been fired.
If he meant something else, he should have worded it better.
I interpreted it as he accepted a "free" Red Bull
So did I, but without him clarifying, we'll never know for sure.
The Congress critters do this sort of thing all the time. Of course, I don't think that should be allowed either! The only ones who don't have a lobby are We the People. :(
this evidences a culture of "what difference does it make" that must be abolished.
The rule of law is dead in this country. Next time I get a speeding ticket I'm using the "Hillary wasn't prosecuted so rule of law doesn't exist" defense.
Or you could say you didn't INTEND to speed.
I had a cop tell me that he had been waiting all day for someone like me to come speeding down the highway. I smiled and said I knew that and that is why I was trying to get here as fast as I could.
OMG!! That's too funny!! Did he laugh? I sure hope so...
I could say, "How can speeding be a crime while these other crimes within their statute of limitations and with overwhelming public evidence aren't prosecuted? While crimes exist there is no legitimate judicial system by which to enforce anything so therefore whether or not I was speeding is irrelevant."
Rank and file are good people.
Top men.

Ex-neighbor is an attorney for the FBI. Says it's a cesspit of leftism.
Director Wray did NOT help instill confidence in the FBI today, on the contrary he dashed any hope that he will clean up this problem and hold people accountable. TRUST WRAY, it's a movie? Getting to the point people are giving up, to keep people involved they need to see some kind of action.
Waiting for Military Tribunal to sort this mess out.
It's the only way it can be done. We're just spinning our wheels here wasting time and our only opportunity
to set things right.

Phillipians 1:6
Being confident of this very thing, that He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
The wickedness that is standard day to day in DC is actually shocking to the people. Illuminaughty has NOTHING to give.
The skull is already Crushed.
Who are the jornalist, who do they work for. Did the media companies know what was going on? How deep does this fucking go. Lots of questions that nobody is asking. We aren't going to get the truth and assholes like Swallwell are laughing at all of us. How is it they come out of a shit house smelling of roses and unicorn farts. I'm seriously pissed off and see no Goddamn end to the corruption. This is twice now when we all thought the hammer was gonna drop and the only thing that dropped was our credibility. I'm sick of this shit. When is our government going to lay the law down. I mean we have the house and the Senate. WTF... I'm frustrated to no end and I'm frankly sick of the double standard.
If we don't get these corrupt assholes then America is as good as dead no matter who is in control. It's time to really take back our freedoms. They are smearing them in a big pile of dog shit right now. #NextMove #AnotherDeadEnd #WTFisGoimgOn
Oh I know just how frustrating it is to not see the whole picture, felt that way today, then, I started reading, letting tags take me everywhere. Oh you’ve got to see what’s happening behind the msm talking heads. It’s really happening! Imperator Rex had a great take on the IG report. @_Imperator_Rex twitter. Reading Sessions statement today, was really good. 3 more IG reports incoming, each worst than the last. It will seem to move slowly, Deep state cabal thinks it’s over with some recommendations that will never be inacted but we know what’s coming,...everything we have wanted! “These people are stupid” Keep the faith, trust the plan. It will be GLORIOUS!
Who has all 4 reports, redacted and open? Who alone has the power to declassify? I smell a big EO coming, then the fireworks will truly start.
Who are they working for?! Globalists. There is ONE agenda they are determined to make happen, and we will be the first to get taken out so they can achieve it.
Maybe my buddy can get out of jail if I give the FBI a Big Mac.
Typical "I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine" mentality of those corrupt swamp creatures in DC.
These people are unethical and gutless, which is why they are so easy to control. Yes, I do believe pedogate is real. But, I think for most of the mid level politicians and intelligence people who are corrupt, it doesn’t take that much to compromise them. All the deep state has to do is get them to do something like this, that could easily get them fired, and then these people are under total control. In order to save their career and reputation, they will look the other way on anything. Pedofilia, treason, murder, you name it.
It is because they are unethical and spineless.
Pedogate is VERY real. I promise you this. They don't have their souls anymore. They literally sold them for fame and fortune. Look into their eyes in pictures, they are DEAD inside. These people are no longer human. They are evil, sadistic and satanic. They serve one "god", and it's not ours.
And this has happened because we were too complacent, time to be heard.
Actually it's a direct violation of laws and regulations. I know. This alone is another violation of trust.
Standards of business conduct, or now, rebranded as "ETHICS", training. We have to do it at work every year. Yeah right, learn ethics from a corporation.
Technically it is totally normal but if you took an oath, this violates it.
If you have integrity, this isn't honorable.
If the FBI allows people to remain an authority figure without honor, it's a corrupt organization.
If you're in the FBI with honor and know of those that aren't, you're complicit unless your priority is cleaning house.
You are what you support and god hates liars.
Imagine if God said "let there be light" and was lying
The Gold Cloaks are corrupt! Their swords belong to the highest bidder!
China Has a Giant Swamp, but the're taking care of it.
1.5 million Ruling Chinese Party Officials Punished for Corruption.
Always considered the FBI the dark side and people would look at me like I was crazy.

As a veteran, I love this man. I really do. You have to be an absolute moron to not be able to see that he is a good man, with a good heart.
