Alan’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for The Fall of the FBI: How a Once Great Agency Became a Threat to Democracy

The Fall of the FBI: How a Once Great Agency Became a Threat to Democracy by Thomas J. Baker

The ultimate offender is Comey. The demonstrated abuse of power by Comey, McCabe, Strzok, and others has undermined public trust in the FBI. And a law enforcement agency depends on public trust to be effective in a democracy.
