    Sorry, but I dont’ buy it –

    If this is true where are the salary increases? Today’s job numbers says that yearly salary increases are less than inflation. That ain’t a real sign of labor shortages.

    Memos detail FBI’s ‘Hurry the F up pressure’ to probe Trump campaign

    Multiple reviews of whether FBI agents’ political bias affected the Russia-Trump collusion case remain in their infancy, but investigators already have unearthed troubling internal communications long withheld from public view.

    We already know from FBI counterintelligence agent Peter Strzok’s now-infamous text messages with his fellow agent and reported lover, Lisa Page, that Strzok — the man driving that Russia collusion investigation — disdained Donald Trump and expressed willingness to use his law enforcement powers to “stop” the Republican from becoming president.

    The question that lingers, unanswered: Did those sentiments affect official actions?
