One of my wife's sorority sisters in with the FBI in Philadelphia. She was saying that almost every SA she knows is considering resigning. She also said that the talk about the Russians hacking the DNC and Podesta is bullshit.

Is that shorthand for "Special Agent"?
Also, if every single one of them that is thinking about it resigns at the same time, and someone tells some local media about it, that news is going to blatantly show just how little support there actually is in the FBI's ranks for Comey and his corruption.

Sorry. Yes, Special Agent.
They all have homes and mortgages and kids and stuff and need their careers. Anyone who resigns out of outrage is going to be blacklisted forever.

I figured as much. They don't like that she wasn't prosecuted.

I'm sure there are plenty of people in our government that would like to see the Clinton's in prison.... I personally would like to see the Bush's prosecuted too.

He's not negating that they had nothing to do with the leaks (as the article title suggests). I've never believed Russians had anything to do with the hack but I want evidence as to who did.
I've always liked Mr. Binney but this article is based on his unproven deductions. This is not journalism but more speculative clickbait.
