When the FBI announced in July that it would be closing its investigation into Democrat presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server, conservatives were enraged, and apparently they weren’t the only ones.
Many FBI agents themselves were also displeased with the decision, as they reportedly view Clinton as “highly unfavorable,” according to The U.K. Guardian.
In fact, some agents, speaking anonymously, said that “Trumpland” or “Trumplandia” had become the bureau’s nickname because of the widespread support for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump throughout the agency.

One current FBI agent explained that Clinton is “the antichrist personified to a large swath of FBI personnel” and that their pro-Trump sentiments have led to a recent series of leaks damaging to her campaign.
For example, reports surfaced on Wednesday that the bureau had intensified its investigation into the Clinton Foundation over allegations that it had traded donations for access for Clinton when she was head of the State Department, Fox News reported.
Although both the foundation and Clinton have denied these “pay-for-play” allegations, several top leaders, including Trump, have demanded answers about the situation.

Agents have described a chaotic internal climate that started when director James Comey refused to recommend charges against Clinton in July, especially considering the apparent conflict of interest regarding Loretta Lynch, the attorney general, who met privately with Bill Clinton this summer ahead of Comey’s announcement.
“Many FBI agents were upset at the director, not because he didn’t (recommend to) indict, but they believe he threw the FBI under the bus by taking the heat away from DOJ (Department of Justice),” a former bureau official said.
Now questions have been raised about how effectively Comey and the bureau can work with the Democrat candidate if she is victorious on Nov. 8.
The truth is that the FBI is supposed to be apolitical, but how can the nation’s top law enforcement agency effectively do its job if the commander in chief is a corrupt, lying career criminal who avoids accountability at every turn?

The fact that so many law enforcement agents have expressed their dislike for Clinton says a lot about her character and the lack of respect she has for our nation’s laws.
