POST-TRUMP, AN AWFUL LOT OF ROT SEEMS TO BE COMING TO THE SURFACE: The FBI’s boss is under investigation for possible hatch act violations. “The Office of U.S. Special Counsel, the government’s main whistleblower agency, is investigating whether FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe’s activities supporting his wife Jill’s Democratic campaign for Virginia state senate in 2015 violated the Hatch Act’s prohibition against FBI agents campaigning in partisan races. . . . Meanwhile, Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe’s office released to Circa under the Freedom of Information Act documents showing McCabe attended a meeting with his wife and the governor on a Saturday in March 2015 specifically to discuss having Jill McCabe run for state Senate in Virginia as a Democrat. . . . At the time of the meeting, published reports indicate agents in the Washington field office were involved in both a probe of McAuliffe and of the governor’s close friend, Hillary Clinton’s and her private email account. . . . The meeting led to McAuliffe supporting Jill McCabe’s candidacy and ultimately sending her $700,000 in support.”

If Hillary had won, would we even be hearing about this? Trump needs to clean house at the FBI, which appears to be a nest of corruption and incompetence at the top.
