Just when Democrats are pushing the talking point that the FBI should not be disparaged...
The talking point is so blatant that, on "Meet the Press" this morning, NBC News political analyst Eugene Robinson was laughing about it:It is fascinating that you see people on the left of the Democratic Party saying, "How dare anyone attack the F.B.I." And you see people and people on the right, of the Republican Party, or virtually the entire Republican Party saying, "The F.B.I. is violating our civil liberties!"Obviously, that's some very partisan reaction to the Nunes memo. But given the intensely strong Democratic Party commitment to demanding respect for the hardworking rank and file of the FBI,* I want to give the NYT some neutrality credit for frontpaging the story, "As F.B.I. Took a Year to Pursue the Nassar Case, Dozens Say They Were Molested":
For more than a year, an F.B.I. inquiry into allegations that Lawrence G. Nassar, a respected sports doctor, had molested three elite teenage gymnasts followed a plodding pace as it moved back and forth among agents in three cities. The accumulating information included instructional videos of the doctor’s unusual treatment methods, showing his ungloved hands working about the private areas of girls lying facedown on tables.____________________
But as the inquiry moved with little evident urgency, a cost was being paid.... The silence at times drove the victims and their families to distraction, including Gina Nichols, the mother of the gymnast initially known as “Athlete A”: Maggie Nichols, who was not contacted by the F.B.I. for nearly 11 months after the information she provided sparked the federal inquiry....
The F.B.I. declined to answer detailed questions about the speed and nature of its investigation, or to provide an official who might put the case in context.... The agency left unaddressed the oft-repeated claim by U.S.A. Gymnastics officials that after initially presenting the sexual assault allegations to the F.B.I. in July 2015, they came away with the impression that federal agents had advised them not to discuss the case with anyone. The ensuing silence had dire consequences, as the many girls and young women still seeing Dr. Nassar received no warning.
* Here's former C.I.A. Director John Brennan on the same episode of "Meet the Press": "And the ones I'm concerned about are the families of C.I.A. officers and F.B.I. agents. They're the ones who sacrifice on behalf of their loved ones. And to hear people like Mr. Trump and others denigrate the work that they do, and they're trying to make distinctions between the rank and file and the senior members, well, I think, you know, C.I.A. officers and F.B.I. officers know that these are institutions that I believe have been well-led over the years and that really are so important and critical to keep this nation safe and secure. So I just am appalled by the things that are being said."
